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

Hi Jean-Vincent, thanks for your immediate response. 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
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.

Is it possible in XWiki to authenticate user via a JAAS LoginModule?
It it possbile in XWiki to authorizate user access via a J2SE Policy
Provider?
Thank you in advance

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?

Hi XWiki community,
I'm a student at the ANU studying "Free and Open Source Software
Development". I'm deeply impressed with XWiki and would like to
contribute. To start, as I'm getting my head around the ins and outs,
I would like to the translations to Vietnamese via the translation
file on http://l10n.xwiki.org.

Hi All,
I'm using RESTful API, I'm trying to create Xwiki Object and attach to
existing document using
/wikis/{wikiName}/spaces/{spaceName}/pages/{pageName}/objects POST method
Object customObject = new Object();
customObject.setClassName("XWiki.MyCustomClass");
Property property = new Property();
property.setType("com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.StringClass");
property.setName("RefTags");
property.setValue("Food");
customObject.withProperties(property);
ClientResponse response =
resource.accept("application/xml").post(ClientResponse.class, customObject);
int httpResponseCode = response.getStatus();
Object resObj = response.getEntity(Object.class);
Problem is Class's Object gets attached to document but properties aren't.
I even tried url encode format found property#name=value
Please help / suggest solution.
Thanks in advance,

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

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.
Dave
