Hi, I don't know if you're aware of it so I'll tell you either way: when you download the .war and .xar files from the French mirror site i Paris you get .zip files instead of .war or .xar. Caused me a bunch of problems before I realised it... //Karin

Customizing work flow

by Kito D. Mann

Hello, Please forgive me if the answer to this question is posted somewhere (didn't see anything in the archives). I'd like to use xWiki for publishing articles. I'll be using it inside eXo portal (I think xWiki's lightweight approach is more suitable than eXo's CMS for my needs). The only piece I'm missing is how to go about creating a very simple workflow. Basically, I'd like something like this: 1. Author or Editor creates an article 2. Author writes the article 3. Editor edits the article 4. Author reviews the article 5. Steps 3 and 4 can repeat 6. Editor publishes the article Where Author and Editor are roles that can be fulfilled by one or more users, but Authors can only view their articles. And of course, this has to work within eXo. Any suggestions? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kito D.

RE: Virtual XWiki problems

by Esbach, Brandon

Hi Tim, One of the main problems there is that you're using localhost in your configuration - which as it stands is not accessable outside your physical pc by design (this applies pretty much to all operating systems). This is because localhost is treated as a special entity. For XWiki to understand what you're wanting to do, you're going to have to use the actual name of the pc where XWiki is installed (and not localhost or even the ip address for that matter). If you're on a TCP/IP network, each pc on the network requires a name - so you should already have a domain name to work with. In my case, I'm using a deep domain name ([virtualname].servername.d1.d2.domain.com, with altered [virtualname]'s for each virtual xwiki instance) which XWiki uses without any problems. -> Instead of a virtual XWiki, you could try to run seperate full xwiki installations - I'm not sure if the linking is fixed yet (it was a bug when v1.0Beta1 was released); if it is fixed this is as simple as copying the xwiki folder to a new name once the war is expanded by tomcat. Accessing the different xwiki sites would be a matter of changing the \xwiki\ string in the URL (if that makes sense - it's late wednesday and I had an really early morning). -> On the other hand, if you're really keen on a virtual XWiki setup and you've got access to a knowledgable network administrator you'll probably find the configuration will take a few minutes; whether using LMHOSTS (a very bad idea for more than a handful of workstations on a network), or setting up DNS forward addresses. PS: Please keep all replies/queries in the group, this ensures that this problem can be researched in future. Also, as my domain stems from ________________________________ From: Campbell, Timothy D [mailto:tcampbell106@wssu.edu] Sent: 13 June 2007 16:33 To: Esbach, Brandon Subject: Virtual XWiki problems Brandon, While following the documentation, I followed all the steps and created all necessary documents(except for network pointers) and classes but the problem comes when I try to fill in the server spot for the page. I put localhost one time and it gave me the fresh database but replaced my old database. Basically, I need to know how I can do this using Tomcat since the directions are mostly focused on domain names and I am not using a web host for this project.

Can't upgrade 0.9.840 to 1.0 on Tomcat 5.5 and Postgres 8.1

by Ashley Moran

Hi I'm trying to upgrade XWiki 0.9.840 to 1.0 on my FreeBSD 6.2 server running Tomcat 5.5.23 and Postgres 8.1.4. I've replaced the xwiki app, copied (AFAIK) all the settings across, but when I try to access it I get a 500 error from Tomcat. exception javax.servlet.ServletException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3201 in 3: Exception while saving document XWiki.TagClass Wrapped Exception: Could not execute JDBC batch update org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processException (RequestProcessor.java:535) ... root cause com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Error number 3201 in 3: Exception while saving document XWiki.TagClass Wrapped Exception: Could not execute JDBC batch update com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getMainXWiki(XWiki.java:291) ... I deleted my XWiki and Tomcat logs and restarted the server. The attached logs are a fresh server restart and an attempt to view Main/ WebHome. (Not sure if the list allows attachments because this is my first post. Will find out soon!) Anyone have any ideas what is going on? It seems to be failing to enter a row into xwikidoc, but I've looked at the insert statement and I can 't see anything wrong with it. Thanks in advance Ashley

1: overview of registered users: additional fields & 2: changing loginID and email afterwards

by Thomas Krämer

Hello, I have got two minor issues, that some of you probably have encountered as well. 1: I would like to have some more information on the user page xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiUsers : 1 Current Users #set ($sql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='XWiki.XWikiUsers'") #foreach ($item in $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql)) * [$item] #end how can if find out which object each $item has? why is the object tab abesent? has any of you extended that page already? 2: If you want to change a users email in hindsight, there is a faq, that explains how to do this: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowCanIChangeTheEmailOfAnExistingUs… namely, to select the objects tab in the edit mode and change the respective email object. i use xwiki 1.0.3342 (stable 1.0), and there is no such tab.

Usage of DatabaseList property type

by Ute

Hi all, I'm curious about the correct usage of the property type "DatabaseList". Can anyone explain it to me, or -even better- point me to an example? I know that there was already a previous post http://www.nabble.com/Xwiki.com-API-stability-and-Class-Object-model-tf3524… by Sergiu, but unfortunately this still leaves me pretty much in the dark... I understand that the "Hibernate Query" is an HQL statement. Can this be the identical statement that I would use in a call to $xwiki.search() or searchDocuments(), or is there anything special to consider? Can the HQL query refer to any objects/documents in the DB, or are there any limitations? What is the meaning of "XWiki Class Name", "Id Field Name", and "Value Field Name" in the property editor? My understanding is that the HQL query is evaluated dynamically when accessing the value of this property. Is this true? How does this fit to the "Display type" that obviously determines how the user can edit this property? Or is the HQL query only used to determine the possible values of this property, but the user still selects the actualvalue?
