Web urls that point to the same host replaced with non-working links
by Kalle Korhonen 16 Feb '07

16 Feb '07

Upgraded to beta 4 from beta 3 and it was exactly as easy I had hoped for. It does fix some of the most annoying things, thanks for that! However, one simple thing it didn't change is this: we are displaying links to other services on the same server (like maven-site, maven repository etc) right on the home page. Now, if I edit that document again, the WYSIWYG mode replaces all links with ../../../.. in an obvious attempt to make them relative instead of absolute as XWiki figures they must be links pointing elsewhere in the XWiki itself. Saving again renders the links non-working. Is there a way to enforce the links remain absolutely or should I open a bug? Kalle

Trackback in XWiki?
by Frank Häfemeier 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hi, is there a functionality in XWiki to send link information to a trackback enabled application like Jira or receive this kind of informations? And if not, what would be the easiest way to do this? We would like to use XWiki in our company as a knowledge base. And if there are automatically created links between jira and XWiki (in both directions) this would be great. For all of you who don't know what trackback is: http://www.sixapart.com/pronet/docs/trackback_spec Bye Frank

Email Plugin - working?
by Esbach, Brandon 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hi folks, Wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to use the email plugin at all on B2 or B3? Specifically, I have two things I'm trying to acchieve: 1) Setup email notifications for changes to specific parts of a document (eg, change occurred to field x in document y). Can't seem to find anything specific for details on this,- if there is something there, please point me in the right direction. 2) Emailing from the Xwiki system directly (documentation/faq for which seems to have disappeared since I last used it to implement on 0.9.840). The origional sample which Ludovic wrote up is still there (http://old.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Demo/SendMail on the old xwiki site), but configuration documentation seems to be missing, From recollection, there was a few things we had to configure - as the default HELO is sent using a combination of fields which includes the version number (and naturally gets rejected by our SMTP server as it is not a valid email address supplied as origionator).

Image added in TinyMCE editor is removed
by Ronald Borman 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

I am implementing XWiki as an internal knowlegde base for the IT department I work for. The installation was straightforward and went relatively smooth. We are using XWiki 1.0 Beta 3 / MySQL 5.0.27 / Tomcat 5.5.17 on a Windows machine and after exploding the war file I have imported all of xwiki-1.0-beta-3.xar. However, when I edit a (new) page with the WYSIWYG editor and try to insert an image, the (uploaded) image is displayed correctly in TinyMCE but doesn't show when I save the page. The html source code only shows an <br/> tag where the image was. When I add an image in the Wiki editor, the tag '{image:example.jpg}' is inserted and after changing the file name (in WYSIWYG or Wiki editor) and saving the page, the image is properly displayed. But when I try to edit and save the page, the image is again removed. This behavior is a real show stopper for us. I searched the user email list and JIRA but can't find anything about it. Does anyone recognize this and knows a solution or workaround? Thanks in advance! Ronald Borman The Netherlands

Re: [xwiki-users] A couple of questions after migrating xwiki from 0.9.840 to 1b3
by jimmy＠comkraft.com 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hi, Vincent and Jean-Vincent, One thing I really like xwiki is that almost all questions posted in the user list will be answered by others in a timely fashion. Thank you for your help and my problems are pretty much solved by your answers. My previous category->blog post mappings are lost actually due to my blind import of the 1b3 .xar file. I later on unchecked the Blog.* section and now I can have my mappings bag via jean-Vencent's code snippet. I now can access the Tags section via the URL Vincent sent to me. I also found out I can access the Tagged pages via the Tag page in the Main space. I played with the Panel wizard a bit and can get the XWiki space back there. The drag and drop layout tool is so cool. I also have modified the skin and did a little customization based on Vincent's answer. Now my xwiki has been almost up with the 1.0b3 code base. Sorry to hijack the session, i thought that was not hijacking but didn't know that still left some inaccurate meta data in the thread. I will start a new thread in the future.

Need emollient for minor skin irritations
by THOMAS, BRIAN M (ATTSI) 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

I really like the new skin, especially the comments/attachments/history display handling, and I don't want that to be missed. I have two difficulties, however, both related to the elimination of the More Actions menu: First, I can't find a direct link to the Edit Objects URL for the page. It works if I enter it manually (and let me gratefully note here that the new skin has made the editobject template *much* more friendly), but none of the menus seems to offer a path to it. Second, the More Actions menu had an item that mitigated an existing annoyance, which was that, if a page had objects (other than comments) displayed on it, the URL in the Edit link was changed to /inline/ from /edit/. To me it was annoying, but to many users, it was confusing, which is worse, of course. It got to the point where I always used the More Actions menu to select inline or edit myself, but now that option is unavailable. Of course, I can always enter the URL by hand, or use FoXWiki if I'm opening it from a link, so again it's not a show-stopper for me but a problem for the Great Unwashed (or, as they say in Ludovic-land, the sans culottes)... I know how I can provide these, so I don't need that advice, but it would, of course, be good to have them available in the default skin, so I would like somebody to: 1) point out where they are if I've just missed them; 2) discuss where you think they ought to be from the user's perspective (especially if, for example, you have already re-implemented them); and/or 3) suggest a JIRA item to provide them in the default skin. brain[sic]

Using XWiki expressions and double quotes
by Kalle Korhonen 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Hello, I'm new on this list, so forgive me for asking this, as I'm sure it's answered before (but couldn't find it in FAQ). It took me a long time to figure out how to create a link to the registration form, but finally found it in one bug report: $xwiki.getURL("XWikiRegister", "register"). However, now if you put it in a href it works the first time after saving, but if you edit the same document in (in Wiki view) you see it's getting cut by the parser at the first double quote, like $xwiki.getURL(". Saving the document again understandably renders the link non-functional. Is there a proper way of doing this and/or is there a reason why I couldn't use single quotes instead of double quotes (as you would commonly circumvent the same problem in Javascript implementations).

Xwiki SSO and how to integrate inside another system?
by Franklin Samir 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Hi guys, this is my first message here. I would like to integrate Xwiki inside of my system, using SSO, sharing stylesheets, menus and things like that. Anyone knows if there is documentation about that? I've searched in the web-site, but without results. Thanks, Franklin Samir http://jnuke.dev.java.net

RE: [xwiki-users] Side-Panel Grouping
by Dandre 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

Thanks alot guys. I discovered the PanelWizard Page and I played around with it a bit. What I did was add the expand/collapse header to it, and instead of showing all the spaces and eliminating a few, I chose only to show the spaces I wanted with the Navigator Panel. Looks pretty nice. Its got some potential if you take the time to play around with it some more, will see how much time I have left for it. Regards, Dandre

Looping through staticlist contents; and others
by Esbach, Brandon 12 Feb '07

12 Feb '07

Hi All, I was wondering if there was a simple way to get all the options for a static list - eg, via a query? In a few of my custom classes, I have several staticlist properties - I need to cycle through the available options of each within velocity.
