[xwiki-users] How to access util binding from velocity
by xwikiadmin＠lazypapertiger.org 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Hi all, Is there a way I can configure my setup to allow me to access the util binding from within Velocity? I've searched around in the documentation and can't seem to find it. I really just want to create a map - and whilst I can do it in Groovy, it'll be easier for users if they can do it using velocity. Any advice? Cheers, Adam

The penny drops. When debugging velocity script I tend to dab $values all over the place and look for where they show up on the page. I hadn't considered this scenario. Dumping the map does indeed show that the entries are in there. That's fantastic - thanks for your assistance. Cheers, Adam

> > Do you really need a utility class? I just tried this: Not explicitly no. > {{velocity}} > #set($map = {'name':'marius'}) > $map.name > {{/velocity}} The problem is that I don't seem to be able to update a map created that way. If I try: {{velocity}} #set($map = {'name':'marius'}) $map.put('myname','adam') $map.name {{/velocity}} It fails. Whereas if I use a map from elsewhere (xcontext for example) and pass it in it seems to work just fine. I may be missing something obvious, that happens a lot! Cheers, Adam

[xwiki-users] Users created through admin options have dual authentication when LDAP is on
by Juan Carlos Vizueta 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Hi, I added my LDAP users to Xwiki manually one by one through the Xwiki Administration form, I did that so I can add them to their corresponding groups so they have their correct user rights since their first login. When creating a new user through the form, the password is mandatory, so I copy/pasted the user in the password field (e.g.: user jsmith and password jsmith as well). Then when I asked the user to login, she could login correctly, but then I thought maybe I should try to login using the password I set on the form, and oh surprise, it logged in too!, is this the correct behavior or did I do something wrong here? I need users to login only when entering their ldap password, not their xwiki password. Thanks in advance. JC

[xwiki-users] Excel plugin or $xwiki.calc ?
by Piotr Dziubecki 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hi all, I did a little search on the importing/processing excel files and I am confused a little bit: First of all, I found Excel plugin: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Excel+Plugin but it's status is obsolete - "The Plugin technology has been replaced by Components" - so is that functionality available out of the box in the latest versions of XWiki ? Moreover, in the comments we can read: $xwiki.ExcelPlugin should be updated to $xwiki.calc as this is the name of the plugin on a newer XE > 2.1.1 There is also another extension: Excel Import Scaffolding and it clearly points to the Excel plugin page. http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Excel+Import+Scaffoldi… Could someone explain what is the proper way of working with excel files currently, I just don't want to tie my code to the obsolete components. Thanks, Piotr

[xwiki-users] [xem] Wiki alias not found exception
by Stéphane Laurière 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi everyone, I'm running XEM based on XE 2.6.33077 with several wikis which behave normally. However, I get plenty of exceptions in the log files such as the one below. I checked what could be wrong with the documents having an attached XWikiServerClass instance but I cannot find anything suspect, and, again, the wikis seem to behave perfectly well. Do you have any idea why I get this exception and how I can stop having it raised? ====== ERROR wikimanager.WikiManagerPluginApi - Wiki [xwiki_edos] alias cant be found com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.wikimanager.WikiManagerException: Error number 50034 in 5: com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.wikimanager.WikiManagerPlugin: Wiki alias [xwiki_edos] document does not exist Wrapped Exception: Error number 2 in 2: xwiki_edos object does not exist [...] com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.applicationmanager.core.doc.objects.classes.XObjectDocumentDoesNotExistException: Error number 2 in 2: xwiki_edos object does not exist at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.applicationmanager.core.doc.objects.classes.AbstractXClassManager.getXObjectDocument(AbstractXClassManager.java:821) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.wikimanager.doc.XWikiServerClass.getXObjectDocument(XWikiServerClass.java:440) ====== Thanks and cheers Stéphane -- Stéphane Laurière Mandriva http://mandriva.com

[xwiki-users] FAQ application - how to add new object automatically
by Piotr Dziubecki 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Dear all, I'm trying to extend a FAQ application from the tutorial on xwiki site. I would like to add some FAQ entries from the external file in an automated or semi-automated way. In the FAQ example there are: question, answer fields for every FAQ entry. Is it possible to add new entries basing on the external data user provided ? like to take a data from a text area in a form like: "question1", "answer1" "question2", "answer2" and then create 2 new FAQ objects ? I've found such a code snippet and fixed it to have: ## Create an object #set($obj = $doc.newObject("FAQ.FAQClass")) $obj.set("question","q1") $obj.set("answer", "a1") ## Save the object in the page $doc.save() Even with that it fails to add new object to the existing list. Any clues how to accomplish that ? Just to recap, I have two questions : 1. Could someone provide a code snippet, or point me to a documentation on creating/adding new objects in the xwiki ( like how to set parentSpace, basic fields in that object and add it to the xwiki database ). 2. Are there any scenarios on importing data in to the XWiki ( would like to inject a lot of FAQ entries at once, tried to do that directly to the database but that failed, I guess I should do that via velocity code ? ). Thanks a lot for any help :) Regards, Piotr
