[xwiki-users] mobilecoder new wiki request
by T.J. Young 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hi, Was wondering if/how I could create my own wiki hosted on the myxwiki network? I'm looking at creating a new developer portal/resource site for mobile application developers. Mostly text content, articles, code samples etc. I've looked at other services like Ning and Blogger but they are pretty limited. If it works out, I'll likely look into hosting it properly. Thanks!

[xwiki-users] Fonts in PDF export documents
by Nigel Smith 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Is there a way to set the font for the entire document that is to be exported? I've tried setting body { font-family: Arial; } which causes the error: org.apache.fop.fo.ValidationException: "{http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format}block" is not a valid child of "fo:root"! (See position 5:27) at org.apache.fop.events.ValidationExceptionFactory.createException(ValidationExceptionFactory.java:38) at org.apache.fop.events.EventExceptionManager.throwException(EventExceptionManager.java:54) at org.apache.fop.events.DefaultEventBroadcaster$1.invoke(DefaultEventBroadcaster.java:152) BTW, I am working on the patch to have the DatabaseList accept XWQL as the query ... Regards, Nigel Using XE 2.1.1

[xwiki-users] Lucene serach problem
by Gerritjan Koekkoek 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

I'm migrating a xwiki from 1.7 to 2.1.1 I've started with a fresh system and have imported the Lucene search pages from the XAR export of 1.7 The statement: #if($lucene) #set($searchresults = $lucene.getSearchResults("${query} $!{reqspace}", $wikinames, $languages, $xwiki)) ... #else #error("Lucene plugin not found. Make sure it's defined in your xwiki.cfg file.") #end seems to deliver a empty $searchresults while the parameters are exactly the same as on the 1.7 instance with exception of the last ${query} = reflux (my search text) $!reqspace = AND web:CdlsatdPublic $wikinames = xwiki $languages = default, en, de $xwiki = com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki@15dd813 The conclusion the $searchresults is empty is coming from the fact that the code does not enter the foreach #foreach($objFrmLst in $results) .... #end the if(lucene) test seems to exclude that lucene is not working? Help on this is greatly appreciated

[xwiki-users] Access to Bindings in Python
by Josh Eastburn 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

The documentation seems to indicate that bindings normally available in Velocity like $context should be available in other scripting languages, but accessing 'context' in Python (e.g. if context.action == 'inline':) always gives me problems. Any help? Thanks, Josh

[xwiki-users] How can I upgrade XWIKI from an older Version?
by Arnaud bourree 01 Jan '10

01 Jan '10

Hello, I've XWiki 2.0rc2 instance and I want to update to 2.0.5 version. I find empty FAQ here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WhoCanIUpdateXWIKIFromAnOlderVersion I'd like to update it on myself experience. But before I've one question at the end of my email on xar import. 1st/ re-deploy war (easy part) By chance we didn't update any files excepted xwiki.cfg and hibernate.cfg.xml. So I did the following: - zip current webapp/xwiki folder - remove webapp/xwiki folder - deploy xwiki-enterprise-web-2.0.5.war in webapp/xwiki - report my old xwiki.cfg and hibernate.cfg.xml configuration to the new one 2nd/ import xar (difficulties start here) First, I import the full xar without any question: whao, everything is broken. Do not forget to backup your database before upgrade! After restoration, I decide to write a small script based on curl to export same xar as the one I want to import: #!/bin/bash XWIKI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 if [[ $# -ne 2 ]]; then echo usage $0 login password exit 1 fi EXPORT_XAR="?format=xar&name=Current" for page in `jar tvf xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.5.xar | sed -ne "/\/.*xml/{s/.*\s$\S\+$\/$\S\+$.xml/\1.\2/ p}"`; do EXPORT_XAR="${EXPORT_XAR}&pages=${page}" done curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -d"j_username=$1&j_password=$2&j_rememberme=true&submit=Log-in" ${XWIKI_BASE_URL}/xwiki/bin/loginsubmit/XWiki/XWikiLogin curl -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt ${XWIKI_BASE_URL}/xwiki/bin/export/Main/WebHome${EXPORT_XAR} -o Current.xar Whatever I used the best diff tool (Beyond Compare IMHO), it is not so easy to check if difference are good or not: I need other way. Thanks to RESTful API, I write a second script which check page version: version 1.1 was never updated from previous xar version: #!/bin/bash XWIKI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 for page in `jar tvf xwiki-enterprise-wiki-2.0.5.xar | sed -ne "/\/.*xml/{s/.*\s$\S\+$\/$\S\+$.xml/\1\/pages\/\2/ p}"`; do version=`curl -s -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt ${XWIKI_BASE_URL}/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/$page | sed -ne "/version/{s/.*version>$.*$<\/version.*/\1/ p}"` if [[ $version != "1.1" ]]; then echo $page $version UPDATED fi done Cool, only 8 updated pages: Main/pages/WebHome 144.1 UPDATED XWiki/pages/XWikiUserSheet 4.1 UPDATED XWiki/pages/XWikiAdminGroup 4.2 UPDATED XWiki/pages/XWikiPreferences 78.1 UPDATED XWiki/pages/LiveTableResults 2.1 UPDATED XWiki/pages/XWikiAllGroup 34.1 UPDATED XWiki/pages/WebPreferences 3.2 UPDATED XWiki/pages/LiveTableResultsMacros 2.1 UPDATED All other pages can be updated without any check :-D 6 pages of 8 should be not updated: - Main.WebHome: it is our own main page - XWiki.AdminGroup and XWikiAllGroup: list Admin users and users - XWiki.XWikiUserSheet, we apply a patch to display user contribution: not updated - XWiki.LiveTableResults and XWiki.LiveTableResultsMacros, I check with my diff tool: there is a tag object inside.should not updated it. But I block on XWiki.XWikiPreferences and XWiki.WebPreferences. I want our own preferences, I should not update But new preferences may be added My diff tool find them too different. Could I keep my old preferences or do I have to merge? Regards, Arnaud.

[xwiki-users] how to prevent xwiki 2.X colibri skin from displaying db-name of virtual wiki host in top-menu
by Niels Mayer 31 Dec '09

31 Dec '09

For some reason, I chose db-names for my virtual hosts that were descriptive, but ugly and not meant to be seen in the UI. Unfortunately, in Xwiki Enterprise 2.X, the new colibri skin exposes this name e.g. "host_xe_foo_dot_com" on the left-hand-side top-menu. As a quick hack to suppress this new feature, I cloned "colibri" into a new skin "exlibri" (runner up names: NorwegianBlue and DeadParrot :-) ) and changed colibri.css ROOT-golem-85-.../java/xe-210> diff -c skins/exlibri/colibri.css.~1~ skins/exlibri/colibri.css *** skins/exlibri/colibri.css.~1~ 2009-12-08 17:37:58.000000000 -0800 --- skins/exlibri/colibri.css 2009-12-31 13:55:51.082007773 -0800 *************** *** 916,921 **** --- 916,926 ---- text-transform: uppercase; } + /* NPM: get rid of annoying ServerHost name, leaving all other top-menus the same */ + div#tmWiki a.tme strong { + display: none; + } + .actionmenu .hasIcon a.tme { padding-left: 20px; } Niels http://nielsmayer.com
