[xwiki-users] Multiple 'classes', one form.. best practice?
by Joris Dirks 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi all, I am making a database where each page can have multiple 'levels' of data, each next level should be shown to the user only when a condition has been met, say: 1: general information - Question - Needs additional research: yes/no 2: additional research (only shown if applicable): - Researcher - Findings My initial idea was to use seperate classes and create a combined class sheet, like in the code below, but I suspect that will give difficulty for instance when creating overviews in a Livetable. Does anyone have experience in uses like this? Thanks for your ideas! Joris #set($class1 = $doc.getObject('Example.Class1').xWikiClass) #foreach($prop in $class1.properties) .. #end if($class1.properties.needsadditionalresearch=="yes") #set($class2 = $doc.getObject('Example.Class2').xWikiClass) #foreach($prop in $class1.properties) ..

[xwiki-users] Issues while importing previous working xwiki XAR file in to new installed XWIKI setup?
by mohit gupta 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

Hi all, I have xwiki setup done on machine A with custom setting like log changed, user, group and space rights settings .Also had space contents/attachment. Now i did the fresh installation of xwiki on new machine B..What i wanted was every setting,content, attachment i created on machine A xwiki database should be migrated to machine B xwiki database. ** *What i did for this is :-* 1) On machine A, as admin user navigated to export. It asked me package name and description. I entered the value in that and it created a A.xar file. 2)Now after xwiki installation i.e after extracting * xwiki-enterprise-web-3.3.war* inside tomcat on machine B, i navigated to import and imported A.xar file.Now i log in as admin user. *Actual Problem* Now i see the main space webhome page on machine B different from machine A main space webhome page.Like under space i see this error Unknown macro: spaces The "spaces" macro is not in the list of registered macros. Verify the spelling or contact your administrator. Same error is there for Tags.Also i do not the setting i did on default colour theme like i changed the logo. Though i can see all the previous user,group ,space rights and content. *Not getting what i am missing here?*

[xwiki-users] Convert existing Intranet to XWiki
by Hamster 17 Jan '12

17 Jan '12

To all, We want to replace our existing Intranet with XWiki. Our current Intranet is a bunch (100's) of HTML pages with text and hyperlinks. Can we import/convert our existing Intranet pages to XWiki? If so, which steps should we take? Of is this impossible and should we just create XWiki pages by hand? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Convert-existing-Intranet-to-XWiki-tp7195… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] Creating unique serialised pagenames
by Joris Dirks 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

One of the use cases I have for my wiki is storing 'issues', where each issue should have a serial number consisting of year + subsequent number. I was thinking about a script like this, but one of the problems is: there is no 'while' function in Velocity. How would you create a form for this? Thanks for your ideas! Joris #set($space="Issues"} #set($template="AppSpace.IssueTemplate") #set($parent=$space.WebHome) #set($year= ${xwiki.formatDate($datetool.date, 'yyyy')}) #set($partID="0" #set($genericID=$space"."$year) #while($xwiki.exists($space.$issueID'') { #set($partID=$partID+1) #set($issueID=$year"-"$partID) } #if(!$xwiki.exists($issueID) && $xwiki.hasAccessLevel('edit', $context.user, $issueID)) $response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL($ID, 'inline', "template=$template}&parent=$parent")) ## Stop processing, since we already sent a redirect. #stop #end

[xwiki-users] Your feedbacks on a possible MailArchive application
by jerem 16 Jan '12

16 Jan '12

Hello xwiki community ! Since a long time, I work on a MailArchive application, and try to find time to post it to the community ... It's used in my team and is satisfying, but as I'm working on it currently I think it's time to unveil what to expect from it, and have your feedbacks before I (eventually) post a first version ... What's implemented so far : - "eats" mails from specified mail server / account / folder - creates Mails and Topics pages and objects in wiki. Algorithm for topics tries to be "hijack-proof" ;) - Custom Livetable and timeline view for archive, table/threads/forum views for topics - persists main parts of mails (html content, main headers, attachments, attached mails, images, detects encrypted mails), with a clean display - configurable mailing-lists (independant of mail server) upon pattern matching, with auto-tagging of created pages - statistics page (top posters, ...) What I would like to implement before first release : - reply button and sheet - configurable auto-typing of mails (for example, Mail/Newsletter/Annoucement ...) (it already exists but it's hard-coded ...) - test it with other server than exchange (ie gmail at least) - configurable ldap integration : auto-creation of mail users from ldap (by matching emails). Already implemented but not inside the app itself. It's a very cool feature for enterprise level mailing-lists. Real users are also automatically assigned as mails/topics authors/creators in wiki pages, as well as mail dates. - remove everything that's hard-coded and dependent of our usage - put more simply, make it generic. What I expect to add in next releases : - multi-mail-server configuration - improve admin pages - ratings - for now it dumps mails from a folder, meaning it does not act as a mail server by itself. This means that some common features are not available (validation of mails ...). For now it's more a simple dumped "clone" of a mailing-list, but it does not interact with users / mails. Some open questions / remarks: - considering last point, I don't know how mailing-lists and mailing-lists archives do work (ie xwiki-users and robot, nabble ...), so I don't really know how I could implement such features inside xwiki, or even if it would be something useful for users ... For now the whole application is a XAR and I don't want to bring too much complexity to it. Anyway I'd like to keep both functionality. - for "reply" feature, I assume to use the global mail server configuration parameters of the wiki, and the email from connected xwiki user profile ("from"). To simplify I would ask user for his password when he clicks on "send" (and the form is valid), because depending on mail server configured, you might need to be authentified to send a mail. There could be an option to use or not the xwiki login for credentials. I don't know what 'd be the better for this ... Maybe I should add specific configuration for outgoing mail server in mail archive app ? Of course with a "real" mailing-list (with a robot), you don't have this kind of problem as I believe it acts as a mail server itself (kind of proxy). Feel free to comment, manifest your enthusiasm (or your un-interest :) ) ...

Re: [xwiki-users] Can't attach files to wiki
by goldring, richard 16 Jan '12

Yes its strange, This has happened since migrating from version 2.7 to 3.2. The import of the wiki pages via Exported xar files seemed to work ok, and the attachments are listed at the bottom of the wiki pages, butwhen you cick on them to view the attachments the wiki displays aa error message that the "The attachment does not exist." Has anyone any idea what's happened and how to fix it? Thanks.

Hi! Thanks a lot for the new XWiki version. As for: "New default color theme" - http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-6982 It's the old one, but looks actual still. Great thanks for: "* Special characters in attachment name". I checked cyrillic names - works fine. Also I checked an issue we couldn't reproduce earlier. It failed to work again. http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7399 Kindly ask somebody to reproduce steps in this JIRA issue and prove the bug or clarify how to avoid it.

[xwiki-users] Attachment Download Count
by Ashtar Communications 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

Hi, This has probably been asked before, but I can't seem to find a clear answer in the archives. Is there a way to configure the statistics extension (or something else in xwiki) to keep track of how many times an attachment is downloaded? Am I stuck doing something like editing htmlheader.vm and attachmentsinline.vm to insert Google Analytics code and keeping track myself? Has anyone out there already done this? Thanks, aaron

by Nicolas Grégoire 14 Jan '12

14 Jan '12

Hello, first, thanks to XWiki SAS for hosting my Wiki, it works really fine ! I wonder if it's possible to get some stats about visitors, but I came across a page saying I need to edit "xwiki.cfg" : http://xhe.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Stats/WebHome Afaik, I do no have shell/filesystem access to the server and can't do this modification. Am I wrong ? Is there a way for myxwiki users to modify this setting ? Regards, Nicolas
