Hi!
Can you explain me, how XWiki binds to AD with an appropriate
password?
I mean, in xwiki.cfg we don't specify what field XWiki should look
for a password in Active Directory.
There is a line:
xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_pass={1}
And in AD I have a field userPassword containing a user password.
So, where it's specified?
Ar cieņu, Mihails
Hopefully I haven't caused any work for anyone as I have found the
solution to the problem. The instructions on the xwiki admin page may
need an update/clarification.
The answer is to name the directory you expand the .war into with a .war
extension as per;
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ExplodedDeployment
I renamed the directory from;
$JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/xwiki
To;
$JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/xwiki.war
And hooray, http://myserver.mydomain:8080/xwiki is alive! Also I don't
have a massive server.log and 85% processor usage on the server anymore
either.
I will add this to the FAQ on the xwiki site, might help someone.....

Subject: [xwiki-users] Help deploying xwiki under jboss/mysql/linux
Greetings fellow earthlings,
I am hoping some generous soul can help me here, I am a thin-client app
noob, but (IMHO) not a complete muppet. What I have is a brand new Linux
(Ubuntu 6.06 server distro) server, Jboss 4.4.2.GA, mysql 5.0.22, xwiki
1.1.2, java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.13.
My goal is an xwiki based site for the service and support department of
the company I work for. I have installed xwiki on my local PC using the
stanalone distro, all good. Now I want to get a server running so I can
start to show the interested parties how it might work and get some
feedback on the thing.
I have followed the instructions on the xwiki and jboss sites pretty
faithfully (multiple times) and can't seem to get xwiki to deploy under
jboss. I have set mysql user and priviledges, downloaded the connector,
modified hibernate.cfg.xml blah, blah. I can see the jboss default pages
(at http://myserver.mydomain:8080/) when I start the jboss server, but
no xwiki at http://myserver.mydomain:8080/xwiki I get http 404. I
haven't got to the stage of importing the default enterprise database
yet.
Can someone help by first suggesting where I should start looking. I
have had a look in the server.log and boot.log but they all seem like
gobbly-gook to me. I won't post here as the server log is huge, 5MB, but
I can filter it to something sensible if only I knew what to look for.
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction,
Thanks in advance,

Hi everybody,
Sorry for the silly question, but i have an annoying problem on custom icon visualization.
The background of them appear correctly transparent in firefox, instead in explorer it appear as "lightgrey" (as shown in the image attached)
The png have been created with Paint.NET 3.0...
Does anyone had the same problem? How do you solve it?
Thank you!!
Mattia

Vincent,
Yes! From a users point of view improving the following areas would make a
huge difference in useability:
* A super slick WYSIWYG editor providing similar functionality as offline
web page editors/word processors to enable users to easily and quickly enter
(and cut and paste text/images from Word, other web pages, etc) and
structure and layout the content on a page would help win over non-techie
users who don't like the wiki editor.
WYSIWYG java based web editors:
http://www.technobulls.com/2006/06/23/top-5-free-javascript-wysiwyg-editors/
For instance perhaps use an html editor like this with features added for
XWiki linking, etc:
http://www.fckeditor.net/ and http://www.fckeditor.net/demo
This editor supports cut and paste from Word. It could be offered as an
alternative to the current wiki and WYSIWYG editors?
A WYSIWYG editor doesn't have to translate everything to wiki markup does
it? - couldn't be a mixture of both to take advantage of both and existing
html WYSIWYG editors - of course it wouldn't translate over to edit in the
wiki editor - but would you need/want to?
* A flexible means to quickly customise a wiki skin (fonts/colours/page
layouts/menus/indexes/stats/etc) to be customised for a particular wiki site
without resorting to hacking css files would be useful.
* A wizard to install XWiki on apache tomcat or other and hook it into a
database would also help eliminate common setup/installation
issues/problems.
On another note - have you seen the wiki daskboard on wikipedia by PARC
research?
http://wikidashboard.parc.com/
and an example

Right now you can do what you suggest as a customization of your
instance (for example forcing the use of the WYSIWYG editor or forcing
the use of the wiki editor only).
But the main problem is that there are a few annoying bugs in the
WYSIWYG editor which can be fixed. Actually there aren't that many to
make the WYSIWYG editor really slick (probably 3-4 main ones I'd say).
Only issue is that it's a bit tricky to fix and the TinyMCE
architecture isn't really scalable for the longer term future so
that's why we've decided to implement a new WYSIWYG editor in Java
using GWT.
Now back to the current WYSIWYG editor, the XWiki project is welcoming
all patches to fix it so it's only a matter of someone with Javascript
skills providing some patches.
We're also thinking about setting up some bounties and offering some
money for people to work on specific parts of XWiki. This could be
such a domain. Another one would be about creating new skins. Do you
think this would help?
Thanks
-Vincent

Just a thought:
Perhaps XWiki should either allow users to edit a page with the wiki editor
or the WYSIWYG editor BUT NOT BOTH and not provide translation between them.
My reasoning is:
* that swapping between the editors can mess up the formatting - which
annoys users no end.
* the WYSIWYG wiki output can sometimes be hard to read and even unreadable!
* the WYSIWYG could then provide additonal formatting not currently
supported by the wiki markup more easily (in HTML directly)
* first time users get confused with the two editors and swapping between
them and they'd prefer the WYSIWYG editor as long as it didn't mess up their
formatting
Of course it would also be useful to provide some means via the WYSIWYG
editor to add velocity, groovy code, HTML, etc to the page to retain the
freedom and flexibility of the wiki editor.
What do people think?

Richard

IE 6 and earlier don't know about alpha-transparent PNGs. That's the
most annoying thing web designers hate about Microsoft and its browser.
In IE7 it should work.
If you don't need full transparency (meaning semi-transparent pixels)
but jost 100% or 0% transparency, then that you can do. I never used
that program, but i guess it should have an option for this.
Sergiu

IE doesn't support transparency very well in
PNG's (all IE versions prior to IE7) - you can get around it though
using some script.
Gif transparency works to some decent extent in most
versions of IE.
Check here for more info, and a possible workaround for the
PNG problem:
