I saw that someone submitted some promising new LDAP code that I'm very
interested in. Because I'm supporting a production wiki, I can't
experiment with code until its formally adopted into the project. Any
idea when that will be? I also heard that there were plans to re-do the
authentication mechanisms in XWiki, perhaps to user JAAS.

Brian.
Hi
In my project there is a necessity of allowing the users to rate documents. Say a rating scale from 1-5 will have to appear in each document (created using a template). Users can rate a document and an overall rating appears after calculating all the ratings. At present I did the whole thing using servlets. But is this the preferred way to do this in xwiki.
Can this be done by making use of xwiki plugin or so, so that it will be useful for others also? Any hints ?
Regards
Roopesh
Sorry for my unclear expression! I'll try to rephrase my original questions:
- Is the capability to choose between sorting directions going to be implemented in the lucene plugin?
- Is the default query type going to stay an OR-query? I would vote for AND by default and at least there could be a possibility to choose between them on the api-level.
- Could it be possible to index all page data, it's object's properties and attachment data into one lucenedoc so I would not get a separate hit for page, it's object and attachment (if the search words are found in each of them). This feature makes the paging impossible (see Michaels description below) if I want to show just one pagehit regardless if searchwords are hit within the page itself or it's attachments or objects. (I hope this was understandable...) Surely there are arguments for and against but I would like hear yours. Or has somebody solved this issue perhaps somehow?
I've been customizing the plugin for my needs yet there are still some features I'm working on. I'm willing to contribute if needed but on the other side, if these features are going to be implemented in the plugin core anyway by somebody else I could spare my time for something else.
Thanks,
Petteri

I still have questions about how that's done: Is there a tutorial on how to apply it, or even a XAR to import a new search page?
Or is that what Petteri is asking for?

I hope xwiki will use the lucene search in future as default search engine!
At least just because of the result score..

The XWiki development team team is pleased to announce the
availability of the final 1.0 release.
Go grab it on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download
See the full release notes on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/
Main/ReleaseNotesXWiki10
XWiki 1.0 is the result of the collaboration of hundreds of people
and we would like to thank the whole XWiki community for it. We've
all been hard at work. We have fixed 615 issues for the last 5 months
(since 1.0 Beta 1)!
We've already started development of XWiki 1.1 and we're planning to
release a first Beta version around end of May/beginning of June. We
have lots of improvements planned already . Our main focus is going
to be the default Wiki. We now have a very strong XWiki platform and
we want to make the default Wiki even better: better UI, improved
usability, more polished.
As always, we're interested in contributions. If you're interested in
participating to an open source project and working with a nice,
friendly and open team, come help us.
If you're a XWiki user, please add yourself on http://www.xwiki.org/
xwiki/bin/view/References/. XWiki is currently used by hundreds
(possibly thousands) of companies around the world but, being an open
source project, in most cases we don't even know about it. Adding
yourself is a form of contributions and it help the project being
successful. Add yourself now and spread the word!
Enjoy XWiki 1.0!
-The XWiki development team
Hi
In the FAQ tutorial, the FAQs(documents) and class, classsheet, document template are present in the same space. How can I create the class, classsheet and template in one space and the documents (FAQs) in another space ?
I want to prevent users from modifying the classsheet, template etc. but want anyone to modify the documents.
Regards
Roopesh
Hi!
I've discovered that I need a lot less choices in my xwiki instance than
what the default xwiki installation offers. Now, the PanelWizard is a
good tool for shuffling about the big blocks, but how can I remove
"Knowledgebase" and "Photos" from my right hand panel if I still want
"blog" to be there? And can I somehow rename the "Blog" title?
Also, I'm trying to clean up a bit within the blog menu. By default, all
blog entries seem to be thrown into the menu together with choices like
"Categories", "Create Blog Post" and "Web Home". This looks a bit messed
up after a while, as the menu is sorted alphabetically (and also, spaces
are removed from titles). Where do I go in order to organize and
configure the blog sub-menu?
Sorry for the n00b questions, I'm really trying to pick up on this!
best regards :-)
Thomas
