[xwiki-users] Admin user can't install extensions
by Pape, Barry 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hi Everyone, I just switched from the standalone install to a tomcat/mysql installation and now the Admin user can't install any extensions. Specifically, I am running Tomcat 7.0.34 with MySQL 5.1 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard and XWiki Enterprise 4.3. I imported the Default Wiki Xar file (xwiki-enterprise-ui-all-4.3.xar) and since the macros on the home page aren't working (Spaces, Tags, Send Message, and Activity Stream all state unknown macro) proceeded to login with the Admin user and navigated to the Extension Manager. I was surprised to see only one extension installed (XWiki Enterprise - UI All) instead of the 27 that came with the standalone version of XWiki. So I went to install some of the missing extensions and received the message "Admin right is required to install extension [org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-wiki-manager-ui-4.3] on namespace [wiki:xwiki]." Which I hadn't received any messages like that when using the standalone version. I verified that the Admin user is in the XWikiAdminGroup and has Admin privileges. Are there other access controls that I need to modify for this? Is there some other configuration that I need to perform first? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Barry

[xwiki-users] Translation properties keys naming best practices for contrib projects' XClasses
by Jeremie BOUSQUET 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi, The subject of this mail says it all but I will detail. I'm trying to follow some standard rules, whenever possible, in my contrib project. So, concerning translation properties recommendations [1], for the pretty name of a field (named "from") of a class (named "MailClass", from space "MailArchiveCode"), from module org.xwik.contrib:xwiki-contrib-mailarchive-ui, I would maybe use: contrib.mailarchive-ui.MailArchiveCodeMailClassFromPrettyName or contrib.mailarchive-ui.MailArchiveCodeMailClassFrom or anything else for the last part really... I could consider that a good candidate for the "top level project" could be "contrib" in my case. I could also consider it to be "mailarchive" by the way, as I'm clearly out of scope of that xwiki development practice. But then if I follow [2], I find a completely different recommendation, and it's even automated if I apply it (for pretty name). I would then use: MailArchiveCode.MailClass_from Then if I want to define another translation key for the "hint" of this field, I could decide to append "Hint" or "_hint" or ".hint" to the property I defined for the pretty name (ie the label in the form ?). Or maybe there's some more automated way as for the pretty name, but I didn't find it described in on x.org... As I'm a curious guy I also checked [3], I know it's not a validated document, but as anyway that use-case is already a bit out of scope ... But it seems not to solve the problem, and I'm not sure to understand why there's such distinction between a "class field label" (that should use Space.Class_field) and a form label for a field of that class (that would use <prefix>.label), as it really seems the same to me. Or it could be different, but I think main use-case is to create an XClass, and create a Sheet for it, and display a form for all fields from that class, point. In rare cases, you might want to display another form on that same class in another location (page/sheet), but it's unfrequent and it should be even more unfrequent to use different labels in that case ... And usually your end-users won't have to update the XClasses coming from your application, so you don't really care about internationalizing the XClass in itself - you care more about internationalizing the forms derived from that XClass. Mixing all that together and shaking it a little, personnally, this is what I would follow, for internationalizing a sheet displaying MailArchiveCode.MailClass objects: MailArchiveCode.MailClass_from=... mailarchive.mails.x.from.label=$msg.get('MailArchiveCode.MailClass_from') mailarchive.mails.x.from.hint=... mailarchive.mails.x.from.help=... ... ## For livetable mailarchive.mails.tableColumnHeaders.from=... ... Here I used "mails" as the interesting (defining) part of the XClass ("mail") with an 's' (as you usually don't create a unique object from an XClass...). I believe there should be something for 'x' level but I don't know what exactly ("form", "class", "xclass", "fields" ?). This also has the advantage of not following any defined rule :P Maybe I misunderstand things, and maybe (certainly) this is all too much far-fetched, but I like to follow standard ways as much as possible ... :-) If there's nothing more defined (or to be defined) for a contrib project, or any provided ui extension, then I'll do whatever comes to my mind and sorry for disturb ;-) BR, Jeremie [1] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HTransla… [2] http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/TranslationsTutorial [3] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/L10N+Conventions

Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki-devs] How to Include a page without velocity code into another page
by Geo Du 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi Marius, This works, but my problem is that I have a xwiki page, I have a link on this page, when I click on this link, a javascript function is called, with the call, I want to include a new xwiki page at the bottom of the current page without reloading the current old content (like appending a new page to the current page without change of the old content), the new appended content could be in edit or view mode. My question is the approach you have here is to use display macro, how to trigger this macro inside javascript code? also how to avoid reloading the old content when appending new content? since in the old page I have some search results listed, I do not want to lose it and make users have to search again.

[xwiki-users] Forms good practices
by Jeremie BOUSQUET 15 Dec '12

15 Dec '12

Hello, Following Vertical Layout standards [1], I've written the following to display a form (XE 4.3 standalone): #set($class = $obj.xWikiClass) {{html wiki="true"}} <form action="." class="xform" name="form_server"> #foreach($prop in $class.properties) <dl> <dt><label for="MySpave.MyClass_0_$prop.name ">$prop.prettyName</label></dt> <dd>$doc.display($prop.getName())</dd> </dl> #end </form> {{/html}} In view mode, labels are correctly displayed uppercase, but in inline edit mode, they switch to lowercase bold, which is not very nice. I investigated, and in inline mode my <form> is removed, and replaced by the encapsulating "inline" <form>. So to fix that, I decorated my form with a div with class "xform". Is it the right way to do that ? If so, I think the comment from [1] is not complete: "Obs: The CSS classes have as parent the .xform class. This is supposed to be used on the form tag, but if the styling is done inside dynamically generated structures it can be used on other elements, like divs, as long as the element remains the parent for the other form components." It would not really be limited to dynamically generated structures, but also to inline edit mode. BR, Jeremie [1] - http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/VerticalForms

Re: [xwiki-users] xwiki render cache not working?
by David Delbecq 13 Dec '12

13 Dec '12

Well, that's a bit my problem there :/ i don't want to encode every page as they are created. Restarting xwiki after each new page or even tracking the list of xwiki page can be a nightmare. On the other hand, i can't easily go on a space by space basis. Sure some spaces are pure xwiki content and no trouble at all, but most spaces will have pages here and there that must not be cached :( I guess i will have to disable cache for most of our xwiki then and only enable it on pages that have heavy load.

Re: [xwiki-users] Can't install extensions
by Pape, Barry 12 Dec '12

12 Dec '12

Thanks Marius for your quick reply! This was happening using IE 9 (version 9.0.8112.16421), and by nothing happens, I mean it's like clicking a button on a design form. You can see the button depress and return, but nothing else takes place. No page reload, or anything. I have since tried on a different computer using FireFox and it is working there, so maybe this is a IE 9 specific issue. So I've been able to install the LDAP Application through the extension interface (unfortunately it still doesn't authenticate a user for me), but the Simple Forum Application fails because it couldn't find a dependency. Apparently the SpaceIndex Macro is needed, but I'm not finding any information on how to install it. Thanks again, Barry On Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 7:17 PM, Pape, Barry <Barry.Pape at nov.com<http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users>> wrote: > Hello, > > I have recently installed XWiki Enterprise 4.3 Standalone on Windows Server 2008 R2 and am unable to use the extension manager. > Any extension I browse to, whether installed or uninstalled, does not respond to the show details or install buttons. I click the button and nothing happens. There are no messages logged in the console either. I haven't seen this before. I would check with Firebug or any similar browser tool to see if there are any JavaScript errors. Btw, what browser are you using? And by "nothing happens" you mean not even a page reload? Hope this helps, Marius > I thought I could work around the issue by importing the xar files directly, which I did for both the ldap extension and the forum extension. The forum extension appears to be functioning even though it isn't listed as an extension or anywhere else except on the dashboard. Is this the correct behavior? The ldap extension also seemed to work, but it doesn't actually authenticate a user. In googling around, I fear that the extension dependencies aren't installed, but I'm not sure how to check that or what the dependencies are (I don't see them listed) to attempt manual installation of them. LDAP does show up under applications in the adm > in menu, and I've gone through and tried configuring it both there and in the xwiki.config to no avail. I'd prefer to get the extension manager working so that we can easily install/uninstall extensions as needed, but any help with either the extension manager or getting the ldap extension to work are greatly appreciated. > > Thanks for reading and any suggestions you may have! > > Barry > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > users at xwiki.org<http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users> > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
