[xwiki-users] on XWiki.XWikiGroupSheet
by Ricardo.Julio.Rodriguez.Fernandez＠sergas.es 17 Feb '12

17 Feb '12

Hi! Still working with XWiki Enterprise 2.4.30451 here. When listing group members using XWiki.XWikiGroupSheet, if the member is a user and its document has a title, the list shows the title as URL. It the member is another group, the list shows the name of the document independently of it has title or hasn't. Feel free to check this to ilustrate what we are seing here... http://atrium_km.idisantiago.es/bin/XWiki/XWikiIDISAreaOncology Please, how must we modify XWiki.XWikiGroupSheet to force it to always show the title of a document (user or another group) included in a given group?

[xwiki-users] how to use xwiki behind an authenticating http proxy?
by Patrice Godard 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hi, I'm trying to set-up xwiki for my company but I have an issue with our authenticating http proxy which prevents me to install additionnal plugins into xwiki. I searched the FAQ and mailing list archives but could not find a reference to how to use xwiki behind an authenticating proxy (I could only find information on how to use it behind a reverse proxy). I tried to setup the usual JVM properties http.proxyHost, port, username and password but xwiki does not seem to use them. The error stacktrace shows a connection timeout in the HttpClient classes. So I'd be glad to know if xwiki can be used behind such a proxy, because it's currently a showstopper for us (and I REALLY would like to use xwiki instead of mediawiki).

Re: [xwiki-users] Performance tuning for growing wiki
by Crowd Covered 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

I've solved the problem I asked about yesterday: Column length too big for column 'XXX' (max = 21845); use BLOB or TEXT instead There is a useful option in MySQL Migration Tool to change the SQL code for table creation, so I've just used LONGTEXT instead of VARCHAR(60000) and alike which are not valid for MySQL. Additionally I needed to fix several dates in XWIKIDATES like 2222-04-16 00:00:00 into 2012... - no idea why they were treated as invalid... Could someone also hint about consequences of several errors I wasn't able to solve? May be they can be solved as well? 1. For XWIKIATTACHMENT_ARCHIVE I got 0 of 20 entries transferred, with an error "Unknown column '0x' in 'field list'". Indeed in .script file I see them like this: INSERT INTO XWIKIATTACHMENT_ARCHIVE VALUES(-2145604653,''). I believe it's safe to ignore this? But how did it happen? 2. Same error for XWIKIATTACHMENT_CONTENT, but there only one row should have been deleted - may I got problems because of this? Will community benefit from description of such HSQLDB->MySQL migration or was it a non-trivial thing for me only (I only faced databases during university course)? :) If yes where can I add it?

[xwiki-users] categories: spaces or parent pages?
by Theresa Noisser 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hi, i want to have our wiki categorized, since it's used as a intranet for a company with a few different work groups. So it would be the best if every group gets its own "category", but every coworker is able to see (and possibly edit) every page. But i'm not sure what's the best way to do this, i think the two possibilities are to use different spaces or to use parent pages. Can you tell me what the main differences are to help me with this decision? Is it only the rights management or are there any other advantages/disadvantages? Thanks again, resi.

[xwiki-users] List of all users: names and avatars; edit profile pages
by Theresa Noisser 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hello, for our company intranet wiki i'd like to have a page where all coworkers are listed with their names and pictures. I found a velocity code to give out the useravatar (e.g. #largeUserAvatar('XWiki.username') ), but is there a way to automatically generate a page where all the users are listed with names and pictures (perhaps in 2 columns and with links to their profile pages)? I only found a way to list all editors or page creators. And second, i would like to add information to the profile pages of the coworkers, e.g. their specialities or responsibilities. How can i do that? Thanks in advance, resi.

[xwiki-users] Configuration to enforce specific password policy in xwiki?
by mohit gupta 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hi, I want to apply a specicific set of rules to password policy in xwiki so that that if any new user/existing user(in case he want to change the existing password) adhere to this policy. Some of the rules are like :- 1)Password should have following charectics A minimum password length of fourteen (12) characters Contain at least one alpha characters (a-z, A-Z). Contain at least one Upper Case Alpha character (A-Z). Contain at least one numeric character (0-9). Contain at least one “special” character, such as the following:~ ` ! @ # $ % ’ The maximum number of failed login attempts shall be set to 3. 2)Passwords are required to be changed every 30 days 3)A password history of last 13 passwords must be maintained so that new password is not among last 13 passwords 4)Where any user account has been locked out, admin should be subject to reset the password My first question is about point 1 . I can see one way to modify registration password matching regex at http://wikiURL/myWiki/bin/edit/XWiki/Registration?editor=wiki so that i can change default policy from 6 character to customized policy as per point 1. Is there any other way to from user interface ? Second point is i don't see any configuration setting to fulfil the requirements 2,3 and 4. Does xwiki support this kind of configuration too?
