To: is not populated any more when using $xwiki.xWiki.sendMessage?
by Esbach, Brandon 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

Hi All, Wondering if this is due to an API update, or just some odd co-incidence, but since going to Beta4 any email message sent from Xwiki now has no to: address. Our corporate Junk Mail settings then trash the email.. Guess the question is, am I mucking up the call (see below), or was this an API update since 0.9.840 (last test was done pre-Beta1 on 0.9.840)? $xwiki.xWiki.sendMessage("esbachb(a)tycoelectronics.com", "esbachb(a)tycoelectronics.com", "blah blah blahdablahblah:subject is here", $context.context) Brandon Esbach Software Engineer Tyco Electronics LoughMahon Technology Park, Skehard Road, Blackrock, Cork, Ireland Tel +353 21 4808305

resource file is not translation friendly.
by Natto Lover 27 Feb '07

27 Feb '07

Hi. I wondered if I could help translating the resource file to Japanese. But I noticed some problems, so I want to let it to be known. First, I couldn't find a preferred way to contribute resource file translations. Its a common topic in a project like this, so I think it should be clearly documented in an easily found place. Second, I found out that in a couple of cases, the resource string items contain small fragments of sentences, rather than full sentences. This makes it impossible or hard to provide a meaningful translation in languages that have different syntax structures like Japanese. You need to make much more use of the parameters like {0} and {1} and write the full sentence. I will show the ones that I noticed. helponsyntax=Help on the I haven't seen this on the xwiki UI yet. I think this sentence is followed by a text box or a pulldown. So the actual sentence is probably like: Help on the [____]. But in Japanese the sentence structure has to be something like [_____] no help wo hyoji. So adding the label on the left of the UI doesn't work. For very simple statements, english has the structure Verb + object. Japanese has the structure Object + verb. Also I noticed a line: youcan=You can In English you write "You can [do something]", but in Japanese, you write "[do something] dekimasu". So a successful resource string would be youcan=You can {0}. and the Japanese version would be youcan={0} dekimasu. If the "You can" was followed by a structure of UI elements such as a list of checkbox items, A translation friendly label would be a full sentence like "You can do the following:". I stopped translating the file after working on it for about 3 minutes because I felt that there would be many of these. I hope the structure gets revised. I hope even more that someone else translates it to Japanese :-P I like the software itself. It has features that I am looking for. -- natto is japanese food. I chose it for my alias. -- _______________________________________________ Surf the Web in a faster, safer and easier way: Download Opera 9 at http://www.opera.com Powered by Outblaze

Wysiwyg - losing data
by Esbach, Brandon 26 Feb '07

26 Feb '07

On a few of our pc's (those with lower memory), for Beta2 and Beta3 the main problems experienced with the wysiwyg editor were mainly revolving around updating or adding large data (100lines+) in a news item. Mainly, it took several minutes depending on styles applied (understandable). On Beta4, we're experiencing data loss in place of this; which has my users quite concerned. Just to clarify: this is only affecting users using the wysiwyg interface. Before loging a JIRA issue (I could not find a similar one in the logged issues already there), I'd like a show of hands if anyone else has experienced either problem?

Persistent cache of compiled HQL queries?
by THOMAS, BRIAN M (ATTSI) 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

In developing my servlet filter, I created some HQL queries against the XWiki object store. These apparently get compiled and cached somewhere in generated code, because when I had an error in a query, changing it and rebuilding the project had no effect on the query text, so that it evokes the same exception and reports the same query text as before, unless I clean my project every time I change the text of the queries. Apparently the dependency of the compiled queries on my class needs to be stated in a way that it isn't currently. Any clues on how to do this? brain[sic]

by gleeb＠mediaprint.at 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hi, I migraded a mysql based 0.9.840 XWiki to 1.0B3. I need to keep the old Style/Layout. Unfortunately, I do not get the XWikiPreferences Page. Therefore, I cannot import/export admin pages. Calling http://localhost:8001/xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences leads to a strange Page containing just 'Hello'. After migrating the configuration und preferences pagesare still like in 0.9.840. How can I get the XWikiPreferences page and/or upgrade the admin pages to use the new features? Regards, G Leeb

Questions on setting up virtual servers.
by Duncan Wilson 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Hi, I'm trying to add a second xwiki server to the server I am currently using. I'm running tomcat and using mysql as the database on a linux machine. I know this is going to seem like a huge barrage of questions, but I'm new to this, so please bear with me. First, all the instructions use different subdomains for the different xwiki servers. I know very little about DNS, and was hoping there might be another way. Right now the current xwiki is usually accessed just using localhost in a browser, is there some way I could set up the second instance to use a different address or port or even just a different folder name without having to mess with DNS? Would it be easier to set up my own internal DNS server? Second, I've added the second database to mysql, and granted all privileges to the xwiki user. So now there are two databases, xwiki (the old one) and publicwiki (the new one). What I'm hung up on is creating a new class called "XWikiServerClass". I've created it in the class editor, but I'm not sure what the guide means by "add a string property" for server and owner. From the guide it looks like the plan is, once I get XWikiServerClass set up, to create two pages, Xwiki.XwikiServerXwiki and Xwiki.XwikiServerPublicwiki. I then attach the XWikiServerClass object to each page and set the owner and server fields. Then change the xwiki.virtual entry from 0 to 1 in xwiki.cfg, restart tomcat. Does this sound right? Any and all help is greatly appreciated, Duncan

life time of log-in
by Uwe Kleinschmidt 23 Feb '07

23 Feb '07

Gents, I am using BETA 4 and encountered the following problem: Once logged on there seems to be an inactivity period, which forces a log out w/o warning. The editor for an entry is open, accepts entries but once you want to save what you edited and you took a break of > 10 minutes in between, everything is gone. On the other end with previous betas, I could leave the xwiki for hours go to different URLs, and go back to the Xwiki and I was still logged-on. What are the policies here and IMHO both cases described above should not happen. Thanks Uwe
