[xwiki-users] Error number 4001 while using blogs
by Hermes, Lars 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Hello, we've started using XWiki in our company. For evaluation we've used XWiki on Tomcat with a MYSQL DB and everything worked fine. But after we've set up our future environment also on Tomcat but using MS SQL Server as DB we've getting the following error messages in the blog space: Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Blog.WebHome Wrapped Exception: Failed to evaluate content with id Web Home<http://adewki00.de.festo.net/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/> com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Blog.WebHome ... Doing further examinations we've found that the embedded SQL is causing the exception. In the conditional part there test to inequality (<>) is replaced by entities (<>). The exception is thrown in Xwiki 1.9.3 as also in Xwiki 2.0 and can't be reproduced on local installation so that our assumption is that the issue has something to do with the usage of MS SQL Server. For this case our questions are: 1.) Is there anybody using also MS SQL Server with Xwiki? If yes are there the same exceptions thrown? 2.) Is there a possibility to fix the error by ourselves in modifying the respective template? Where or how do we find the template? Thanks in advance and best regards Lars Festo AG & Co.

[xwiki-users] Migration of JSPWiki to XWiki
by Rodrigues Adelino 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Dear all (Bonjour à tous), We would like to migrate our JSPWiki installation to Xwiki 2.0. The deployment of the war file, the configuration with our Oracle database and the uploading of the content XAR file went smoothly. For this migration to succeed, we need to migrate our JSPwiki content to xwiki. The best information I found on that was that page: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extensions/JSPWikiToXWikiExtension Unfortunately after following all the instructions, this piece of code failed in the following sections: 1) Invoking the 2 argument constructor below was throwing an exception this.xwiki = new com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki(config, this.context); 2) After changing this to invoke the default constructor, the code threw an exception when setting up WikiEngine. Is this still the way to migrate JSWiki content to Xwiki? If yes could someone help us to investigate the errors? Best regards, Adelino Information and Communications Technology Office: G098 Tel: 0207 523 7187 ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all known viruses by EMEA. ________________________________________________________________________

[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request
by Emrys 12 Oct '09

12 Oct '09

Dear list, I have seen on the site that it'd be possible to get a free hosting or xwiki. I am doing an e-learning program in a French University and having a wiki for project sharing within the school groups i'll be working with would be perfect. I unfortunately don't know of any specific hosting for xwiki other than this one (or any wiki for that matter, and I have to say, I have been seduced by the richness of xwiki). Moreover, I don't think I would be able to run a computer permanently to have the wiki running days & nights - my computer performance would not allow it. I have found affordable java hosting, but then I have no clue on how to install xwiki on an ftp or even if that's possible at all. Please let me know if my request is realistic enough to be eligible for free xwiki hosting. Thanks in advance, -- Emrys

[xwiki-users] How to call a macro from a local wiki
by Michael Beetz 10 Oct '09

10 Oct '09

Hi all, Local wikis doesn't allow macros; therefore they have to be placed in the main wiki. However how do I call such macros? I am still trying to get the xwiki task manager application up and running. It might be necessary to move the query below to the main wiki, isn't it? Thanks mb #set($sql = "select max(prop.value)+1 from BaseObject as obj, IntegerProperty as prop where obj.className='ITSClasses.IssueClass' and obj.id=prop.id.id and prop.id.name='id'") $xwiki.search($sql) see the discussion on [xwiki-users] FW: xwiki 2.0, task manager application, Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page TasksCode.NewTask

[xwiki-users] Group creation fails
by Jan Roehrich 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hello list, I'm using a XWiki 2.0 instance where users are authenticated against an Active Directory through LDAP. But I want to use AD only for authentication and want to administer my group memberships within XWiki. The problem is, that I only have XWikiAdminGroup and XWikiAllGroup. I want to have a third group EditGroup where I put users who are allowed to edit pages. On the XWikiPreferences page I try to add a group and a modal dialog pops up. But after giving the group name and pushing the Create-button, nothing happens. The dialog does not close and it seems that actually no HTTP Request is sent to the server. Pushing the cancel button closes the dialog but - of course - no group is created. Hope somebody can give me any hints. Thanks in advance Jan

[xwiki-users] The missing quality of xwiki?
by Carsten Heyl 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hi anyone! Here is my transcript of trying to find out something about XWikis quaility. 1. I started at the home page. Hey looks quite good. Not too much info, main "Products" presented well, good navigation. Looks promising. 2. So take a look at the Products presented so prominent. Well done. Good overview about the products. 3. So what problems do people have with XWiki, lets take a look at the FAQ. What the ****? We want to use Wiki for structuring Information and XWiki itself does not get a simple FAQ right? (Compare thet to http://ant.apache.org/faq.html) Hmm... maybe they got overwhelmed lately? No, latest changes date back to March of 2009. 1. The "F" in FAQ stands for "frequently", so a split betwenn FAQ and QA may be useful. 2. 204 Questions without any structuring? (compare to e.g. the ant link above) 3. 73 unanwered FAQs? OK, so the XWiki don't care much for questions and usability? Hmmm can't believe that, lets try more. 3. So what does it feel to use xwiki? Any sandbox or demo available? Hey great, main navigation contains a "Playground", lets give it a try. Reading ... "second generation" (sounds promising) and "how to start" (they guide me, good!). So lets start. "Configuring your wiki by clicking on the 'Administration' link at the top right." Hmm, no "Administration link", only "Log-In" and "Register". Any info on the Log-In-Page? No. Does "demo"/"demo" work? No. Any info on the Playground-Startpage? No. Hey there is a "sandbox"-Space, lets dig. Hmm, no way to edit, just Menus "Show" and "Print". Maybe problems due to a brand new update? Hmm. Need to register? Lets try. "This will allow you to edit pages, once the admin gives you appropriate rights." OK, lets try nevertheless. 4. While waiting for the mail, lets explore the playground via "Quick Links". Index - Hmmm, velocity errors and endless "Loading" ... What's New - RSS Included and my Registration is in, too. Looks good. Hmm Adminstrator changed XWikiPreferences, maybe the cause of my problems? Taking a look at the page. "To edit preferences, please use the Administration page. " - If I only could ... Blog - Lets add an Article - OK, needs Log-in. No Registration-EMail yet :-/ Calendar - just some velocity code on the page, no calendar. :-( Photo-Album - Yeah someone managed to upload a photo. Tags - "To tag a document, edit it and enter the tags". OK, later. (No Registration-EMail yet) 2 of 6 give errors right awy, hmmm gets disappointing. 5. While waiting for the mail, lets explore the playground via "What's New". Mail - Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page XWiki.Mail Wrapped Exception: Failed to evaluate content with id Mail JavaScriptExtension - Hmmm looks pretty empty the page, can't figure out what it is good for. StyleSheetExtension - Same here. Maybe thats part of the extensability, but where would I find Information about the Extension and how to use it? (The Information-Tab on he page does not help me.) AllDocs - Hmms same as "Index", yeah it's the same page, so does not work. TreeView - even more empty than the Extension-Pages TableView - some endless loading, got bored after 2 minutes waiting for "loading" to complete. Hmmm, not much Information for a "wiki". My question to the xwiki users mailing list and the xwiki team. Does that represent typical xwiki experience? Does that represent the quality of care of the xwiki developers? Is it worth downloading xwiki and spending more time digging into it? Somewhat disappointed but not totally scared (yet :-), Carsten Heyl

[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request
by Lutz Griesbach 09 Oct '09

09 Oct '09

Hello, my name ist Lutz Griesbach and i'd like to participate in the myxwiki Farm project. I'm an IT-consultant implementing several wiki installations at customers (confluence, mediawiki, dokuwiki and even Tiddly...) and would like to evaluate xwiki, and see, if it can extend my portfolio. At first sight, it looks promising, but i'd like to get in touch without having to initially install it myself. The admin user should named 'elgonzo' as well as the the URL prefix, if that is possible. Thank you very much! Lutz Griesbach
