admin password reset
by john.goetz＠qn.niat.net 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

Hello, I recently inherited a local xwiki site (for internal use), and have no idea of the admin password. Is there any way to recover/reset this? I have a regular user account&password that works. Is there any way to upgrade the user account to an admin account? Alternatively, if I have to reinstall xwiki, is there any way I can save and reload the information? Would mysqldump be useful? Thanks in advance for any help. Sincerely, John G. Apogen Technologies Las Vegas NV Yes, it's hot! I don't care if it's a *dry* heat or not!

Hi Peter, There's a better solution. We now have an #includeInContext macro that would work exactly as you wanted: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/IncludeInContextMacro Hope it helps, -Vincent On Jan 13, 2006, at 11:23 PM, Peter Flynn wrote: > Aha, now I understand what was happening: we were using #includeForm > () as a way of inserting snippets of boilerplate text (like the > “non-neutrality” warnings seen on Wikipedia, etc.).

Can the XWiki syntax list just be removed?

Hi, Vincent, This is still an open issue. The recent unknown changes on XWiki farm made editing pages difficult, since the edit window is covered by XWiki syntax list. Moving just the skin to albatross does not solve the problem, since, as an user, I cannot switch over to albatross, and the new skin does not allow changing menu items and modifying skin. It is not possible for me to really move to albatross. Staying in Dodo is not good, since it is hard to edit and hard to get others to use XWiki. What other options do we have in using XWiki farm sites? Thanks for help.

gpl or creative commons
by Carlos Pruitt 07 Jul '07

07 Jul '07

I am a bit confused. According to the xwiki web site, the xwiki software falls under the GPL. However, there is a creative commons license at the bottom of each page created by xwiki. Does this mean the content and data in xwiki falls under the creative commons license? Can I keep the creative commons license on the xwiki specific documents and remove the creative commons license footer on my on content and data? Kudos to all the developers on the xwiki project. Nice job. Sincerely, Carlos Pruitt

Retrieve list of skins
by Nicolas Réau 06 Jul '07

06 Jul '07

Hello ! Is there a way to retrieve the list of available skins from the wiki? I know i can search the pages from XWiki.XWikiSkins class, but this way i don't retrieve the skins that are stored into a folder (like albatross, dodo..etc in XWiki). Is there a trick to get automatically the list of all the skins (those with a XWikiSkins object + those stored in a folder) ? It would be useful for example if you want to give the possibility to the user to choose his skin into a selectbox, without having to add manually each skin to the box, each time one skin is added. Thanks! -Nicolas- PS: thanks Vincent for your quick answer about velocity-tools last time!

Hi all, I have followed "http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building" to build the default source available at "svn://svn.forge.objectweb.org/svnroot/xwiki/trunks-users". I tried to build everything but the build broke down. Furthermore, I need to build XWiki for Oracle and Weblogic, please help me in the hibernate /maven files and/or WLS related set-up. Any documentation will also be helpful. Thanks Gaurav
