We want to go from version 2.0.2 of XWiki Enterprise to the latest version. We found going straight from 2.0.2 to 2.7.1 messed up our formatting very badly. We see that we probably need to go through a migration step-by-step, version-by-version. But, do we need to go through every single point/maintenance release (e.g., 2.0.3, 2.0.4, etc.) which is 20-something releases, or just each minor (e.g., 2.1, 2.1, 2.3, etc.) release?
Is there even a shorter migration path with fewer interim versions, hitting just the ones that make major changes (e.g., database schema and data changes, etc.)? And is there a way for me to determine that optimal migration path for myself as I get behind in versions?
We love the product, but we want to just use it, not care and feed it too often, and keep it updated it when we find time to upgrade.
Thanks,

Hello!
I've installed xwiki ver 3 through the provided .exe file (Default setting
and databases on Windows 7)
I had also same xwiki installation on my Fedora 11 (version 2.3) which its
home folder had been copied as backup. (according to official guide, xwiki
store the pages under xwiki folder in the /home directory/xwiki enterprise/
so I copied the folder for future use)
Now, how can I import this backup to my new installation? I don't see
anything special??
I tried copying database folder, log file and many other things but
nothing... :(
how can I import my previous xwiki pages to current version from xwiki
directory? ( I just need some pages which I created on that installation)
I have copied the directory completely on that time...but now when I copy
the database folder to new installation nothing happen....
is there any hope? where xwiki store the pages????
ps. I'm using xwiki as a personal and currently offline.
Hello!
I want to install 2.7 in my Win7 Box. I downloaded
"xwiki-enterprise....-standard.exe" file and install it successfully without
any error. but when I run xwiki_start the command window comes up and
instantly close....actually nothing happen and the server doesn't run. I
don't know what should I do and where can i get a log or anything else to
know what the problem is.
one thing that maybe relevant....I'm using your-freedom proxy program which
is java based and run on 8080 port (the port can be changed easily) I also
tried different browser setting. I also can close the proxy program and try
xwiki_start without any proxy.....
one important note, I just want to use my xwiki in offline mode...btw, I
have exactly same problem with 2.3 version which I used it successfully in
winXP.

The XWiki development team is pleased to announce the release of XWiki
Enterprise and XWiki Enterprise Manager 3.0.
Go grab them at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download
This is the first release of the 3.x cycle. Conforming to the general
themes of the 3.x cycle, a lot of features have been polished and
improved, and a few new features have been introduced as well. The
highlights of this release are:
* Twitter-like messaging and networking inside the wiki,
* a new filesystem storage for attachments which allows huge attachments
to be uploaded without requiring a lot of memory or database storage,
* improved dashboard editing,
* better cross-browser support and improved functionality for the
WYSIWYG editor,
* a revamped UI for administration, improved office presentation import
with a new gallery macro,
* live suggestions for the search input,
* a new UI for changing user avatars.
On the developers' front, we've made it easier to reuse the XWiki
rendering engine outside our own codebase, by extracting two new top
level projects:
* XWiki Commons, holding generic modules not tied to the rest of the
platform,
* XWiki Rendering, holding all the XWiki-independent modules of the
rendering engine.
We've setup a Jira dashboard (
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10550 ) to
present the work done for the whole 3.0 release. In summary, 510 issues
have been closed by 14 committers (and other contributors providing
patches), out of which 236 are fixed bugs.
For more information, see the full release notes for XWiki Enterprise
3.0 (
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterpris…
) and XWiki Enterprise Manager 3.0 (
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXEM30 ).
Thanks

Hi all!
I'm still struggling to understand how expanded/collapsed state of
panels do work.
I'm currently using a 2.4.30451 XE/XEM installation.
Looking for macros controlling this state in macros.vm, I see:
***
#macro(panelheader $title)
#set($cookieName = "${context.user.replaceAll(':','')}_${panel}")
#set($expanded = $xwiki.getUserPreferenceFromCookie($cookieName))
#if(!$expanded)
#set($expanded = 'expanded')
#end
## Note: We pass the Panel name as an HTML class attribute so that it's
possible to style
## the Panels selectively using CSS.
#set ($specialClassAttribute = "")
#if ($paneldoc && $paneldoc != "")
#set ($specialClassAttribute =
$util.convertToAlphaNumeric($paneldoc.name))
#end
<div class="panel $expanded $specialClassAttribute">
<h1 class="xwikipaneltitle"
onclick="togglePanelVisibility(this.parentNode,
'${cookieName}');">$title</h1>
<div class="xwikipanelcontents">
#end
***
This macro creates an expanded panel. By clicking the panel title, the
system creates a cookie that stores her current state.
But if I modify this macro and says...
#if(!$expanded)
#set($expanded = 'collapsed')
#end
No macro is created and panels are always collapsed when loaded and
after relaoding.
Please, could you me understand why?
Thank you so much!!!

I just installed XWiki-Enterprise 3.0 and I cannot seem to get Registration working correctly. What we want is to force ALL users to register and not be able to see content until they do. I have setup the Invitation/Email sections correctly, but the verification email is corrupted. Here is what I get in the body of the email:
Hello Ken George,
This email address was used to register a new account on ${wikiname}. If you did not make the request, please ignore this message.
In order to activate your account, please follow this link:
$xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.AccountValidation").getExternalURL("view", "validkey=${validkey}&xwikiname=${xwikiname}")
I believe this to possibly be a rights issue, but I am not sure. Here is what I have setup:
UnregisteredUsers: have VIEW/REGISTER checked. All other fields are unchecked
I also have the following CHECKED:
Prevent unregistered users from viewing pages, regardless of the page or space rights
Prevent unregistered users from editing pages, regardless of the page or space rights
Require unregistered users to solve a captcha when posting a comment on a page
Is this how I need to set things up for this to work the way I need it to?
Thanks,
Ken George

Hi, I'm trying to install XWiki in the following way: I have a headless
CentOS running on the cloud and a Macbook with SSH tunneling to the cloud
machine. Because I'm new to setting up XWiki (or any wiki), I thought I'd
try the Java installation first before attempting to set up all the pieces
at once.
>From my terminal window on the Macbook, I enter
java -jar xwiki-enterprise-installer-generic-2.7.1-standard.jar
and after a short wait, the install dialog box pops up in the Mac's X11
application.
The problem is that I can't read the font that's displayed. I'm attaching a
screen shot, but in case that doesn't come through, it looks like the font
is in some cursive or handwritten italic font, but only bits and pieces of
each letter are visible. Sometimes I can guess what's being displayed, but
mostly I can't read it at all. I've tried a trick I read about to increase
the number of colors output by X11, but that didn't do anything.
I suspect it's something with lacking a specific font, but I don't know
what. Any suggestions?
Hello,
I've recently noticed that one of the documents on XWiki is in the
orphaned list while clicking on it redirects me to the document that
obviously has parent (path in the above section is present).
Going to the database I found out on einteresting thing
mysql> select xwd_id, xwd_name, xwd_fullname, xwd_parent, xwd_version,
xwd_translation from xwikidoc where xwd_name like 'InitialRequirements';
+------------+---------------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------------+-------------+-----------------+
| xwd_id | xwd_name | xwd_fullname |
xwd_parent | xwd_version | xwd_translation |
+------------+---------------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------------+-------------+-----------------+
| 43295369 | InitialRequirements | MyHappySpace.InitialRequirements |
| 5.1 | 1 |
| -536599142 | InitialRequirements | MyHappySpace.InitialRequirements |
xwiki:MyHappySpace.UserStories | 25.2 | 1 |
+------------+---------------------+----------------------------------+--------------------------------+-------------+-----------------+

As I understand it's not quite normal to have document wit negative ID. I
remember such issue happening before, the solution to it was to back-up the
document content, delete the document. This would make "the document behind"
(or phantom document) visible, delete the phantom document, and then create
the document once more, restoring it from the backup.
If you'd ask me for circumstances under which it occurred, I recollect only
in general - we were simultaneously working on the document trying to create
it and import its content from MSWord file.
Is this a known issue? Any circumstances under which it might occur? I've
experienced it at least on version 2.4 and 2.6.
Regards,
Roman
