[xwiki-users] How to track user activity?
by Ezequiel Scott 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

Hello, Since XWiki support user accounts, enabling visitors to create an account and sign in to the site, Can you tell me if It's possible with a little bit of effort track the activity of logged users? This can include recording activities such as what pages were visited as well as what actions were performed. May be it is possible implementing a plugin with Velocity or extracting the data from database. Have any idea how to do it? Thanks!! -- *Ezequiel Scott** * ezequielscott(a)gmail.com

[xwiki-users] User rights?
by Matt Lamoureux 24 Sep '12

24 Sep '12

Can someone please confirm that I understand user rights properly? I have a wiki in which I have loaded all of our custom pages into a space called "1". We use LDAP, so every user is automatically added to the XWikiAllGroup. We have a small team that wants to utilize secured pages, so I created a group called GroupA. I then went through and added team members to GroupA (without removing them from XWikiAllGroup). At the wiki level, I have granted both groups "view" access, but blocked everything else. At the "1" space level, I have granted both groups "edit" and "delete" rights Now, in that space, there are some pages that we only want GroupA to see. I thought it was simple - I could just go into each page, block XWikiAllGroup from view/edit/delete, and grant view/edit/delete access to GroupA. Apparently that is not true - the fact that they are still in XWikiAllGroup prevents them from viewing those pages, since that group is blocked? I expected the fact that they are part of GroupA and GroupA is authorized, they would be authorized. If that is true, what is the solution to this? What is the simplest way to secure a page from everyone except the members of GroupA? If I remove GroupA members from XWikiAllGroup, that seems to cause other issues with skins and such. Any suggestions? Thanks! - Matt L.

[xwiki-users] Collapsable sections on a wiki-page
by Hamster 22 Sep '12

22 Sep '12

Is it possible to create collapsable sections on a wiki-page? (collapsable just like the panels you can add to your wiki). I think it would be realy cool to have this feature. People can just collapse sections and "browse" quicker to the information they seek on a large wiki-page. WDYT? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Collapsable-sections-on-a-wiki-page-tp758… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Components best practices
by Jeremie BOUSQUET 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi, I wonder if they are some specific recommendations, in addition to what's described in [1] and [2] ? My particular use-case, is to know if there is such a rule as to create one maven module for one xwiki component, or if several components can be grouped in the same maven module. Detailed description: for the xwiki-contrib-mailarchive-api, I started from a monolithic class (@Component), then I started splitting it up in several classes. While each of these sub-groups could be considered components (highly related to the mail archive use-case, ie not particularly re-usable), for now their life-cycle is managed by the main Component (ie if one of them needs a query manager, it is not injected by xwiki framework, but provided to it by the main Component). Would it be recommended to move to a whole component architecture, and make all these sub-components Components managed by xwiki framework ? Are there any limitations (perfs...) to do it that way ? I'm pretty sure it's obvious to xwiki devs, but I prefer to ask.

[xwiki-users] XWiki's WYSIWYG editor -- tinyMCE and GWT-based
by ray ye 21 Sep '12

21 Sep '12

Hi All, Two WYSIWYG editors were included in XWiki -- tinyMCE and GWT-based. I understand that 1. tinyMCE was used at the very beginning, and later GWT-based was used to replace tinyMEC because tinyMCE was buggy, and its performance was not good (at the time) 2. the version for tinyMCE included in XWiki 4.1.4 is 2.0.6.1 released on 2006-05-04 ( I checked the code ), and the latest version is 3.5.7 release on 2012-09-20. My questions are: 1. have any one revisit later release of tinyMCE, since lots have changed over the 6 years? 2. for the GWT-based WYSIWYG solution, is it developed by XWiki? and is there a way that i can get WYSIWYG related codes only, and integrate it into one of our internal project? Thank you very much! Ray

And these reports were not the only "bugs" found as far as I remember mailing lists conversations. All of them required brand new system and Vincent said, that these changes are planned after comprehensive discussion and voting in futher releases. So, I mean BRAND NEW system that acts as expected, e.g. user with edit rights is in the "god mode" as to the page. I expect edit rights means edit page, but not access rights change.

[xwiki-users] Multipage PDF Export and child/parent dependency
by Ryszard Łach 19 Sep '12

19 Sep '12

Hi. I'm trying to use http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Multipage+Export+Appli… . It works almost fine, but I cannot find out how to create document structure exactly as I need. I've created three pages in Sandbox (T1, T2 and T3) with the following content (xwiki source): T1: = T1-1 = T2: = T1-2 = T3: = T1-3 = (T1 stands for "Title1" heading). Each one of them has 'Sandbox.WebHome' as their parent. When I create Multipage export (html or pdf), then in resulting document heading levels are being changed. This is HTML output: <h1 id="HT1-1"><span>T1-1</span></h1><h4 id="child_1543277317"><span>T2</span></h4><h5 id="HT1-2"><span>T1-2</span></h5><h4 id="child_1543277318"><span>T3</span></h4><h5 id="HT1-3"><span>T1-3</span></h5> Is there any way to keep the original heading levels intact? TIA, R.
