[xwiki-users] Is java good enough as the core language of xwiki?
by crocket 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Since xwiki consists of multiple modules, I think any high-level language would suit xwiki. In large projects, every language and methodology seems to degrade. However, people started to think java is too verbose. I just want to hear how xwiki devs think.

[xwiki-users] What To Download & Use???
by xMatter 04 Aug '13

04 Aug '13

I am new to wiki style building, have knowledge and experience with WP, Drupal, and Joomla. I want to stop using WP for my employer's intranet and start using xWiki. My questions are... Should I use a standalone install on a server and share the IP with all the uers through Group Policy? OR Do I use the .war install on a server? Also, i install the standalone on my personal laptop and was wondering in either scenario listed above, does anything need to be installed on all client workstations? Thanks! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/What-To-Download-Use-tp7586537.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] how to debug a picture not being scaled down?
by Paul Libbrecht 04 Aug '13

04 Aug '13

Hello fellow XWikiers, I now have an XWiki 5.0.3 and an XWiki 5.1 where my picture never gets downsized. e.g. /xwiki/bin/download/XWiki/polx/photo%2Dpasseport%2DPaul%2D2012%2D07.jpg?width=50&height=50&keepAspectRatio=true has width 345 x 443 (the original). How can I debug this? The log does not seem to say and it seems not related to have an AWT thread at hand (the 5.1 is run with a graphics environment). thanks in advance. Paul

[xwiki-users] Using a commercial pdf-rendering library
by jhaimerl 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

Hi, we want to modify the pdf-export by using a commercial pdf-rendering library. As so far the pdf-export is located in the xwiki-platform-oldcore package, I suppose the reengineering is still pending. Because of that I wanted to ask how is the future strategy for the pdf-export? How can we integrate our pdf-export to be prepared for future modification? Thanks and regards, Josef -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Using-a-commercial-pdf-rendering-library-… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Add Extensions via Admin UI for local admins
by Clemens Klein-Robbenhaar 01 Aug '13

01 Aug '13

A few days ago I ran into some problems when trying to install an extension via the extension manager. The problem was that the pages of this extension require programming rights and I have been doing the install as a local admin of a subwiki. As the local admins have no programming rights the extension got installed without error message, but then it failed to work properly (of course). I first thought about reporting a bug that users without programming rights should have no access to the extension manager to avoid these problems, but then I figured out that this might be too restrictive. For example one does not need Programming rights to install a color theme; there is not reason why a local admin should not be able to do that. The problem is that one cannot distinguish in advance between the two cases of an extension needing programming rights and one not needing it. So I wonder if it would be feasible to extend the ExtensionClass with a flag "Requires Programming rights" or the like and then any extensions found via the ExtensionManager will tell the Admin UI, if they need Programming rights to be installed or not. The UI then could check with the rights of the current user and inform about the problem before installing. Of course this creates a backward compatibility issue; one has to treat a missing value for that flag somehow. Maybe assuming that a missing flag means "no programming rights required" is ok, because that way extensions without this flag will be handled exactly the same as they are currently handled However I wonder if I talk about a real problem here, or if this is not really needed, but it is me doing something wrong. (E.g. is it actually advisable to install an extension only on one local wiki, and not on the complete farm?) Any thoughts? Clemens

[xwiki-users] Unpublished Blog-entries show up in the Activity stream
by Clemens Klein-Robbenhaar 31 Jul '13

31 Jul '13

Hi, I just noticed that whenever someone creates a new blog page, this new blog page shows up in the Activity Stream, even if the page entry is not yet published. I guess this makes just sense from the point of view of the Activity-stream, as creating the blog page always creates an entry in the activity stream DB of type "create". However I feel it might upset some users who expect that their unpublished blog pages remain "secret". I wonder where I should dig in to prevent these entries showing up. Is it possible to suppress logging the "create" event in the activity DB until the Blog entry gets published? Or should I better try to filter these events in the macro displaying the activity stream. Oh, and is there any general interest in suppressing these entries in the activity stream, or is it just me and I can look for a solution on the "works-for-me" level instead of something others might find reusable?
