Is it possible for xwiki to simply use the local server php email system
without need of configuration?
The smtp option is useless because these days most organisations use smtp
servers requiring authentication and xwiki is not offering this at present
(an essential IMHO)

Using an xwiki space for help documentation for a product. The issue being that the entire help documentation for an older version of the product still needs to be available for people using that product.
My current plan is to have one main space for all the documentation, then add a new space for each version, and do includes for the proper documents using their revision numbers.
Space versioning would make this easier, or basicallty a space variable that has a record of the revisions of all child documents at the time the space version was... versioned.
My questions are:
1. Is there a better way for me to do this?
2. Would space versioning, or something of the like be easy enough to implement that I could just make my own plugin that handled it. (An intermediate java dev, but a xwiki novice)
3. Should I really be viewing multiple revisions at all? The rollback function works fine, but I've noticed issues in viewing revisions, and I'm wondering whether it was intended only for revision comparison.

Hi
I have noticed there is a "captcha.vm" file in my installation of xwiki.
Does this mean that I can add a captcha to a registration form?
Thanks
Edward
There *is* a CAPTCHA option somewhere. Doesnt appear on my installed products right now but that could be because I've disabled 'public' user registration so it might only kick in then. I'm very new to the product so as far as config goes I dunno, I've just seen it and was confronted with it in a form in Xwiki so it certainly exists, if that helps any.

Hi,
I'm trying to combine Xwiki products into an intranet collaboration solution and would appreciate advice on good practices for this. We're talking a manufacturing organisation, about 500 users, divided into a dozen production departments with users working on various departmental and organisation-wide projects.
I was thinking one could have Xwiki Enterprise operating as the portal containing all the common enterprise info, then have Workspaces for departmental document use and Chronopolys for Project management. I'd love to have a single install product but that doesnt seem to be possible as I understand it. I also don't forsee any more wikis than the above 3 being required.
Using the 'quick links' shortcut menu on XE I can add the URLs to the XWS and Chronopolys spaces and provided one saves login details its pretty seamless to transition between the products while working.
At the moment I have the 3 Xwiki products running on separate virtual machine servers i.e. separate IP's, Tomcat6 or Jetty app server, Java6 and Postgresql databases.
I'd like to know how much of this can be practically integrated. I realise I can most likely combine everything into a single VM, running a single app server with different URL paths and separate databases but ...
more importantly how can I get more synergy with the 3 products working together?
Q's like:
1. Could all 3 products run on the same Xwiki database in Postgres or would there be conflict with users, tables, etc. If not all 3 how about just XE and XWS on the same database? Is this possible or am I looking for problems?
2. I'm not sure where the user uploaded wiki attachments are stored, if in the db then ignore this Q, but if they are stored in the OS file system then is it possible to have a common uploaded file space for all 3 platforms?
3. Also, there seems to be some sort of integration possible with Alfresco CMS stored files - is this for XE or could XWS/Chronopolys also access Alfresco docs?
Thanks
Hi!
How can I specify that all users found in AD will map to
XWikiAllGroup?
I do have a group AAA in AD with specific users, and if I specify it
for mapping, all works ok.
// cn=AAA, ou=Group1, dc=domain, dc=com
I also have a group ALL, which contains all groups found (e.g. group
AAA is member of ALL) in AD. If I specify it for mapping, even login
doesn't work.
// cn=Users, dc=domain, dc=com
XWiki Enterprise 1.8.17790
Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Mike
Hi Jerome,
Thanks for your continued interest. I have managed to work out installing Chronopolys on Linux - the double mouse click didnt work but the terminal commands did and its looking 90% good for our application so will go with that for now.
You appear to be part of the xwiki organisation so I'll just throw in my 0.03 FWIW ;-)
Having trialed a fair number of wiki related tools recently, I must admit that Xwiki's approach is a little disorienting to me. Obviously as an organisation you have good reason for how its various offspring are designed, but in my opinion a less confusing approach would be if you offered the market something like:
1. Xwiki enterprise - the core wiki application
then users can select from add on wiki modules to customise things further if they desire.
e.g
2. want project management - then add Chonopolos addin
3. if you want workspaces - then add Workspaces add in
I'm sure you get the idea ...
Obviously it would be nice if all these add ins could play nicely together as well because I can find areas where all 3 of the products could be useful, but if they were integrated that would be so much neater IMO.
Still, please keep on refining an already excellent product.
Really the only plugin missing from my end is a Gliffy flowcharting equivalent of that available for Confluence, so maybe you could encourage Gliffy a bit. I have already asked them and the Mockups developer to think about an Xwiki inline page flowchart tool.
Cheers
> If you are familiar with Chronopolys - what install route would you recommend - Enterprise or Workspaces first?
What do you want to do exactly ?
The jar you refer to (installer-generic) is an installer for a
self-contained Chronopolys application, meaning that you just have to
execute it and you will have a setup wizard to install Chrono.
Same as for XWS, Chronopolys is built on top of XWiki Enterprise
(although they both come with their own custom skins, so it's not
obvious and users do not necessarily realize the application is built on
top of a wiki engine).
