[xwiki-users] Tagging a page in structured mode
by Richard Rafalski 12 Apr '12

12 Apr '12

Hallo, i followed this instruction http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Tag+Application to define some tags for tagging in structured mode. Because of the statment "Bundled With XWiki Enterprise, XWiki Enterprise Manager, XWiki Watch" i did not download and install the XAR file. Evrything seemed to went well. But if i klicked on the plus sign near the label 'tags' on a page no tags were suggested. I am expected to get a list of the predefined tags. Also no tags were showed in the document information box in the edit mode of a page. XWiki version is 3.5. Any ideas what went wrong? Or is maybe the tagging in structured mode in 3.5 broken? Maybe somone can help. Thanks in advance. Richard

I shall make my problem clearer. Not every vm file is in the /skins/colibri folder. When my wiki was set up by XWiki, they created a new skin and I can't find the vm files for that. However, this is just an example. Trust me it is useful to see (if not edit) the vm files, but I can't see how to find where exactly they lie. Also, is it true that other features, e.g. search, use vm files? What method should I use to locate these such files? I agree that leaving the vm files in place is a good idea for upgrades but it's useful to view them sometimes. Finally, while investigating this, I noticed that I can view vm files while not logged into the wiki. This exposes source code to the public viewers (should they know where to look). How can I stop this? Thanks again, Martin

[xwiki-users] XWiki feedback
by Trevor Russ 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

We chose XWiki back in 2009 as our wiki solution and we had successfully set up a complete farm of 4 wikis. I have been following the progress of XWiki since then, but unfortunately it was never utilized by our team, mostly because the users did not want to invest the time in learning a new WYSIWYG editor. In the end I was the only one who used it so the time has finally come to shut it down and look at an alternative solution -- perhaps a simple document manager. I saw a lot of potential in XWiki for our purposes, but didn't quite have the time to sell it to the others. Before I remove myself from the mailing list, I just wanted to put forward one comment as feedback: don't discount the learning curve that confronts users new to the wiki. Many of them are proficient in their ways of editing documents (which usually means MS Word) and don't have the time to invest learning new document formatting tools. If you want to capture a larger share of the market, look at ways of integrating with users' favourite editors; I think that would go a long way. You have a very impressive product, and I've been amazed at the level of commitment and professionalism that has gone into this wiki. Thanks for everybody's efforts and best of luck going forward.

[xwiki-users] vm files in Cloud
by Martin Evans 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hi, I have a Cloud distribution, which means I don't have access to the .vm files. When I want to make a change to the behaviour of my wiki, this causes big problems. Sometimes I can over-ride the vm file by adding in a new TextArea field, but it's normally impossible to know where to put it. Then there is the problem of default behaviour. If I insert a blank TextArea to over-ride vm behaviour, I get nothing. I need to access the vm file to see what's currently written there before making a change. But the vm files do not appear in the search. Does anyone have any experience of this frustrating lack of functionality and ease of use? Martin

[xwiki-users] Components : Bridge to old core and objects ?
by jerem 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hello, I'm trying to convert a groovy class (in a wiki page) to a proper xwiki component in Java. Problem is : my groovy code makes heavy use of the document model, for example : - setting documents creator/author, dates, with and without triggering change events (modifying also internal xwikidocument) - accessing multiple objects of same class created in a unique page - ... I could not find anything to do that in the DocumentAccessBridge ... My question is, would it be better for me to wait for the xwiki model to be properly externalized from the old core (so I could target this from my component), or expect missing methods to be added to the bridge, ... or add them by myself ? Obviously, the last option seems both too heavy and too "risky" for me. Obviously too, rewriting my (big) groovy class for using the bridge api seems cumbersome : I'd prefer to wait for a dedicated component for accessing the core model. Best regards, Jeremie -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Components-Bridge-to-old-core-and-objects… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Logging problem
by du du 11 Apr '12

11 Apr '12

Hi, all, I have the following logback.xml file, I developed a servlet, and used common logging library, import org.apache.commons.logging.Log; import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory; Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(FileTestServlet.class); I also added this to the logback.xml: <logger name="next.filetest" level="debug"/> In the code, I have the following code: logger.debug("FileTestServlet doGet..."); But in the xwiki.log file, the message is not logged to the log file, anything wrong? I tried to configure log4j.properties in the classes folder, used log4j logger for logging, there is no message logged either. Thanks for your help.
