[xwiki-users] Using XWiki for a database application
by dullfig 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Ok. I followed through on the "FAQ" app that is given as an example of a (loose) one to many database app. Worked perfect. But... I want something a little more advanced. I'm writing the company quality manual using XWiki, and I think it would be fantastic if the wiki also was the actual database running the company (like accounting, job scheduling etc). That way it's all integrated and you "help file" is also the company manual. This of course would require a more robust data model with referential integrity and all that. What would be the most elegant way of accomplishing this? is there an add-on to do relational databases? I am running MySQL in the background to store the wiki already. So what I envision is that some of the pages on the wiki would be data entry pages, to input data into the system.

[xwiki-users] Sluggish performance?
by dullfig 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Hello everyone: We have only been using XWiki for a while now (version 6), and it seems to me that loading individual pages takes a while. Not sure how long it should take to load a new page. Seems sluggish, but I don't know what's expected. Any rule of thumb on how long it should take?

[xwiki-users] Deleting admin user blocks execution of some pages
by Mark Sack 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

Due to another issue, I had to recreate some users (including the one I had been using as the administrator). Instead of just hiding the old users, I decided to delete them. It was a mistake to delete the old admin user because, now, scripts that were last modified by that user will not execute (even by the new admin user). The new admin user needs make some new modification to the script in order to execute it. Is there a mechanism by which I could get a list of all the scripts that were last modified by that old user so that I could go in and clean up this problem at one go instead of one by one as I stumble onto those pages? Is there another workaround a person can use when they shoot themselves in the foot like this? Note that I tried restoring the old admin user from the deleted documents. He then appears in the user directory as expected. But the scripts will still not execute. So it appears that restoring a user has the effect of creating a new user with the same attributes as the old one instead of actually recreating the old user. Could this be considered an issue (defect or improvement) worthy of recording in JIRA?

[xwiki-users] Adding items from pages into an app
by dullfig 05 Apr '16

05 Apr '16

I don't have that much experience with XWiki, so I just need a gentle nudge in the right direction I use XWiki to write internal procedures in the company. I also want to do a yearly audit to verify compliance to the procedures. So what I want to do is have in each procedure one section called "audit items", and have any items in that section show up in a master audit list. Also, I want the main audit list to be a live table, so I can check "yes" or "no" each item. Can this be done with the "app in minutes" wizard somehow?

[xwiki-users] Macro Parameter as Array
by Personal 04 Apr '16

04 Apr '16

Is it possible to pass an array as a macro parameter? So far my attempts have failed. Macro code: #set( $a = $xcontext.macro.params.array) $a #foreach($i in $a) $i #end Page code: #set( $array = ['Chapter 1', 'Chapter 2', 'Chapter 3']) $array #foreach($i in $array) $i #end {{test array=$array/}} The array processed in the page works as expected. The array passed to the macro only prints up to the first space between Chapter and 1. I have also tried to enter the array as a string which passes the string but the macro does not treat it as an array, which doesn’t surprise me. The comments from Stefan and Vincent on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WikiMacroTutorial seem to touch on this issue but I do not understand the answer provided. Thank you for any clarification to this issue you can provide. Regards, Jesse Bright
