Internationalization
by Pavel 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Hi all. While xwiki looks good to me in general, I was somewhat disappointed to see "CHARSET=latin1" in dump for 1.0-beta-1. I want to set up wiki in russian and wondering if/when full out of the box I18N support is planned for general availability. Can anyone comment on this? Thank you, Pavel

Admin rights
by Daniel Marre 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Hello, Waiting for some solution under Debian and having some "chidren excitation" in this Christmas period, I installed Xwiki on my Mac OS X top lab, allways with the standalone distribution to discover the tool. It runs well ... congratulation for all developpers ! It's a very nice tool. I try some editing features but I have a problem when try some Admin features with the Admin password ... what is it ? The access to some Admin Guide part are requiering also the Admin passwd .... (the configuration part for example) (this passwd is allso required on Xwiki site Admin Guide -> Configuration ) thank's you for help.

On-The-Fly/Generic Permission
by Esbach, Brandon 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

In version 0.9.840 there was the ability to generically add a permission as required; by putting any selected text in place of "view/edit/programming/etc". This has worked quite well for us to date on the older version. I guess the question would be, is there a way to add to the permissions list on XWiki1B1? Part2, related query: Is there a way to show a specific panel depending on your permission? For example, if the user is an administrator I'd like to show an Admin Panel; or if the user has Workflow rights I'd like to show a panel with Workflow features. While I know I can protect the content of a panel by checking certain values (permissions/etc); this would still mean that an empty panel is shown for the user.

Xwiki Beta1
by Esbach, Brandon 21 Dec '06

21 Dec '06

Assuming now that the links are up, the file is released? I have some observations, certainly not exhaustive but from a "first look" perspective. * PDF/Printing * Fails for me on trying (Firefox 2.0.0.1; no plug-ins as yet). Says the document is invalid - this can be due to a number of factors, however my old 0.9.840 in the Production environment works fine (ruling out browser/local issues) * WYSIWYG * Doesn't seem to work right, documents become corrupt after adding any text via this method.. I noticed that there is both a "tiny_mce" and a "tiny_mce_2" folder in the Xwiki root - I seem to remember there was a bit of an issue with the one or the other, can this be the problem? * Admin user * Might be useful to put the default name+password in front of the user when they implement a blank wiki. I just assumed the password was the same; though many newer users may not. Didn't see the user account mentioned in the documentation, but then I didn't specifically search for this. * Importer * Importer works well. A bit of confusion at first as I didn't expect the blank wiki - but it's fairly user-friendly as the user gets taken to the Preferences first in a new wiki instance. * Part of the import into a new wiki is the admin user (or so it seems), basically you are connected as a guest then import as the guest user. This has two side-effects which maybe could be reworked: * The user gets a "lock" on the Preferences page as Guest, so when they login as Admin then the page is locked by default. Could be handy to have an "unlock page" tool that sets the lock flag off. * After the admin user is "loaded" into the database (and I would assume due to the permissions module getting loaded too), the guest user doing the import gets a permission error; and is required to login as Admin and restart the import. It might be more user-friendly to simply log them into the admin account at that point automatically (they're the owner of the XWiki anyway), and continue with the import (just my own thoughts, sure there could be some turmoil over how that works in the group though). * May be wrong on this, but it doesn't seem to export attachments for documents? * History/Workflow * Documents seem to start at 1.1, is there any way to make them start at a different number (eg, 1.0/0.1/etc)? The reason for this, is that some of my tools require workflow management to become version 1.0 (they are considered non-release until approved). Is it possible to reach 2.0, or will 1.99 roll into 1.1 again? * Xwiki**.war file * I usually like to remove this file after tomcat has done it's installation. When you do this however, the XWiki folder starts removing files from itself (for me anyway). Would be nice if I can point the application to another location to look for a war file, as I may have several instances of XWiki running on the same tomcat server. * "On Top" toolbar * Looks really smart on Firefox, however does not keep on top in Internet Explorer 6 (don't have access to 7 yet, so cannot test that). It's not a showstopper by any means though, but would be nice to have the two consistent (or option-based floating). * Login without the "Remember Me" * Does not happen anymore (this checkbox seems absent now), though I have since updated to Firefox2 which could be why. * Xwiki.org * Seems to cause a script error in IE6 (may happen in other versions too). Firefox works as expected. Have to say again, this release so far has been worth the wait on my end. Also, thanks to the XWiki team for their work and efforts to date, into the new year and beyond! Last but not least, Merry Christmas/Seasons Greetings to all!

New Xwiki: Remember me option
by Esbach, Brandon 19 Dec '06

19 Dec '06

Just noticed that if you don't set this option, xwiki won't log you on (well, for me anyways). Using: Firefox 1.5; default cookie options. Also: Seems the new skin does not want to initialise on my existing wiki, not sure what I need to do to enable? I have managed to change the Preferences to point to the MySkin, but am only receiving an all-text layout.

Restoring a broken XWikiSkins class
by Peter Flynn 19 Dec '06

19 Dec '06

Hey everyone, Sorry to be posting yet again, but... I seem to have broken my XWikiSkins class and am looking for a way to restore it to the out-of-box default. Can this be done easily? The story is this: I've been trying to set up a new skin for my XWiki instance, based on the default one. This has been tricky since the default skin imports a bunch of extra CSS files which are not shown in the skin-editor form that XWiki uses. I edited the XWikiSkins class to add some of these files to the display. But that didn't work as well as I'd hoped, so I wanted to delete these properties from the XWikiSkins class. Seeing nothing in the UI to do that, I tried clearing all the form fields and saving it. I got an error that property names can only be "A-Za-z0-9", which makes sense. However, it looks like something went really wrong behind the scenes. When I viewed this class again, it was missing all of the properties except for one ("Page Menu"). This seems like a serious bug in the Class Editor, but I am less concerned about that than I am about getting the skins class back to normal. So, is there any easy way to do this? Thanks again, - Peter

WYSIWYG editor often eats paragraph breaks
by Peter Flynn 19 Dec '06

19 Dec '06

I am using the new WYSIWYG editor that will be in 1.0 beta. When I add a new paragraph using the WYSIWYG editor and then save the page, the paragraph has often been merged into the preceding paragraph. For example, if I have the text: abc def ghi I place the cursor after "def" and hit enter (I've even tried hitting enter twice to create an extra blank line). Then I type "xyz." In the editor, this looks as expected: abc def xyz ghi But then when I hit Save, I see the resulting page as: abc defxyz ghi If I go back into the editor and try to correct the problem, it still happens when I save again. Has anyone else experienced this? Any luck working around it if so? Thanks, - Peter Flynn
