Hi Ian,
Thanks for the clarification.

You are right that this is an annoying bug (see also
http://tinyurl.com/2e69xj) and before fixing such bugs it would make a
lot of sense to build a test that prevents regression in the future.
XWiki developers have a lot to learn once it comes to testing, but we
hope that things will only get better in the future. For now all I can
advise you to do is to make sure that the bug is reported properly on
the JIRA (http://jira.xwiki.org) (couldn't check since the JIRA is
temporarily unavailable).
If you want to discuss more about this bug then please use the thread
I gave you: http://tinyurl.com/2e69xj

As Sergiu suggests this is most likely related to caching. Don't think
that XWiki functionality is coded twice, but if have a concrete
example in the code then we would like to know about it.

Hi All,
I am a user who is developing an xwiki for my research team. I am faced with two tasks that I am baffled by and I did research on the site and still can not find it. I need to put rights on the topmenuheader (meaning only administrator can see it) and I need to embed the calendar on the Main.Home (or dashboard) page. Please help with this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Tim
Hi
I am creating "structured documents" in a particular space say, XSpace, which follows a "document template". But if I try to edit or view a non existing document, say ADoc, in XSpace :
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XSpace/ADoc or
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/XSpace/ADoc
Xwiki allows me to create a new document, but the newly created document does not follow the "document template".
I want to prevent this from happening. Can anyone please tell me how I can do this.
Thanks and Regards
Roopesh
hello all,
besides:
i did a sort of remote control for group and user management using a
rest approach: far from perfect, but working stable. why? you can
syncronize the xwiki users and groups if you integrate xwiki with
another app. haven't had the time yet to add it to the source, but as it
is actually something that is not situated inside the xwiki at runtime
but the other app, i cannot figure out where to put it.
the issues
i try to deploy xwiki on a debian 3.1 web server.
it works almost fine, except two exceptions that keep me worrying:
first, the logger cannot start its work, the xwiki.log is in the xwiki
directory under webapps.
second, the cache can not be configured, even though there *is* a
directory under xwiki temnp/imageCache, that is writeable for
tomcat5:nogroup. stack trace below.
