[xwiki-users] Restricting Images
by Josef Pfleger 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

For a current project, I would like to limit users in the way they use images. I want to 1) allow all users to edit pages 2) disable file upload for all users except my 'ImageEditors' group (i.e. no attachments) 3) make sure users only use images uploaded by an 'ImageEditors' Unfortunately I found it very difficult to implement aforementioned requirements in XWiki. XWiki does not implement a designated 'attachment' access level, turning off images is not trivial and file upload can not be configured. After creating a user group 'ImageEditors', I created two different spaces, 'Main' and 'Images' and set the space rights for 'Images' to 'view' for all users and to 'edit' for 'ImageEditors'. While all users can still edit 'Main'-space-pages, only 'ImageEditors' can edit 'Images'-space-pages (and thus upload attachments to these pages). To restrict image use, I replaced the com.xpn.xwiki.render.macro.ImageMacro with my own code (external jar) that only renders image tags using attachments from the 'Images' space. For every macro call, it checks if a page with the same name exists in the 'Images' space and renders this (parallel) page's attachment (if found). Since 'Main'-space-page attachments are ignored, only attachments uploaded by 'ImageEditors' are published. Finally, I customized the skin in a way that, in edit mode, images can be conveniently picked from the respective (parallel) 'Images'-space-page and also removed all file upload skin code for non-'ImageEditors'. This works and meets my requirements with the minor flaw that all users can still upload arbitrary files to 'Main'-space-pages when posting to the upload URL directly. ---------- Is there an easier/better/simpler way of accomplishing the above? I'd appreciate any comments. Thank you, Josef

Hi, Anyone know the when and why about this..... "Our registration page is currently getting a spam attack. We have needed to disable registration until we find a solution to block the spam attack. We are sorry for the inconvenience but we had to take these measures to keep our platform running." We can't add users to sites on the XWiki farm? Is the problem being worked on? Wei-hsing

[xwiki-users] Is paid support for installing XWiki available?
by Jack William Bell 10 Jan '08

10 Jan '08

I am willing to pay a reasonable amount for someone with experience doing it to install XWiki for me. I have a shared server account with MySQL and Tomcat support (I have my own Tomcat instance). I need XWiki installed so that the front page of the site is the main XWiki page. I could do this myself of course, but am short of time for learning how. I would like to have the site working within a week or two at most. Please respond directly to me with quotes and requirements.

[xwiki-users] New user - LDAP and admin rights
by Gaëtan GUYODO 09 Jan '08

09 Jan '08

Hi, I'm a new xwiki user, I just installed it and configured it to use an active directory authentication. However, none of my existing users have administration rights, and I didn't find the way to give them these rights. Is there any special right to place in the active directory for my admin users ? I just can't access the administration panel of xwiki because of that active directory... thanks to your help.
