Static snapshots of XWiki spaces

by Stephen Schaub

I thought I would share a tip for downloading a static HTML snapshot of an XWiki space. I've had pretty good success using wget: wget -E -r -k -p --no-parent http://myserver/xwiki/bin/view/MySpace/ When this is done, wget produces the following directory structure: \myserver \xwiki \bin \download \MySpace (attachments placed here) \view \MySpace (wiki documents here - look for index.html) \skins \default This works pretty well, except wget doesn't get all of the necessary skin images and css files. So, I copy from the xwiki installation directory: skins\default\* to the downloaded \myserver\xwiki\skins\default folder, and things usually work pretty well. Hope this is useful to others.

"Inline" mode

by Peter Flynn

Hi everyone, I'm wondering about the "inline" view of pages -- i.e. when the URL contains "xwiki/bin/inline". There are certain pages on my wiki where the "Edit this Page" link sporadically redirects to this view rather than the usual "xwiki/bin/edit" URL. Does anyone know why this might be? Thanks, - Peter

WYSIWYG editor deletes content

by Peter Flynn

Hi everyone, We're having some major issues with the WYSIWYG editor deleting content that it doesn't understand when you save a page. For example, in order to link to an image on another page, we add something like this to the code: <img src="$xwiki.getAttachmentURL('MyPage','my-image')" /> That works great, until you edit this page using the WYSIWYG editor. Savings your changes just deletes the whole tag. The page basically cannot be edited (other than as raw code) once it links to an image this way. We have the same issue with the <form> code suggested in the FAQ for document templates - you can't edit the template page in WYSIWYG mode anymore because if you do, it'll delete the form. Is there any way around this? - Peter

Avoiding spaces in page names

by Peter Flynn

Another issue, albeit more minor: Is there a way to have XWiki not insert spaces into the page name when there is a capitalization change? For example, we have a page titled "iTunes", but all the links to this page are rendered as "i Tunes". I've edited the iTunes page and manually typed "iTunes" into the Title field on the form, but this did not help. We can always manually change all the links to "[iTunes>iTunes]"... but it seems like there should be a way to make XWiki respect the title that I entered. Any ideas? Thanks, - Peter

Xwiki RSS

by Esbach, Brandon

Hi Xwiki.. I have been toying about with the RSS macro on Xwiki; and it looks like the macro only talks to one channel. Is this a limitation of Xwiki, or the ROME plugin (if memory serves, Xwiki uses 0.6)?

Re: WYSIWYG setup

by Ludovic Dubost

Hi Peter, Sorry for answering late.. The schedule to 1.0B1 is tough.. You should actually ask your questions in the XWiki users list. Some other users and developers will help answering. The link is here http://forge.objectweb.org/mail/?group_id=170 Peter Flynn a écrit : > Great! I have been playing with the wiki today and am liking it a lot. > > I have a few questions still that I am hoping you can answer: > > 1) Locking: Whenever I begin or end editing a page, the browser locks up for about 15 seconds. It looks like there is some AJAX code on the page that makes synchronous requests (which freeze the browser) when the page loads and unloads. This seems related to locking a page during editing. Can I disable this feature, or change the requests to asynchronous, to avoid the long freezes? > Right. I've seen that.. This is the document locking and unlocking using AJAX to have unlocking when people leave pages. It should be aync at least for locking. This needs some Javascript changes in the edit template. You should submit this as a task in http://jira.xwiki.org However it should lock everything for 15 seconds. This shows either that your server is very slow or some other thing being wrong.. > 2) Macros: I'm looking for a way to insert basic boilerplate on multiple pages. E.g., on Wikipedia you can add "{{cleanup}}" to add a warning about the article needing cleanup to the top of the page. It looks like macros are XWiki's version of this, but how do I create one? > > You create macros using the velocity syntax (scipting) or using Radeox (java) A velocity macro is for example: #macro(hello $firstname $lastname) Hello $firstname $lastname #end You can then use it using #hello("Ludovic" "Dubost") (carefull no commas between variables, which is odd for developers) You can write your macros in the page that use it or in a page that you include using #includeMacros("XWiki.MyMacros") or in /template/macros.vm (needs a restart) or another macro file you specify in WEB-INF/velocity.properties There is a neat feature which we need to document more which allows to transform radeox syntax on the fly to velocity and allow macros to appear in the WYSWIYG Editor (the last button of the toolbar) In the XWiki Preferences / Advanced section you should add hello=velocity:hello:first_name=First name|last_name=Last name (not 100% sure about that.. you should use it when it's properly documented. > 3) Email notifications: I noticed a blank FAQ entry (http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Doc/CommentNotifierUnChangementAuWikiAU…) about the ability to send an email notification when a page changes ("watching" a page). Does this feature exist? > > No we only have RSS right now > 4) Styles: Is there a way to add a new paragraph style that will appear in the WYSIWYG editor's dropdown? > Not yet.. we are working on adding a style macro {style:type=div|class=mystyle} Text {style} and will then allow a predefined list of styles to appear in a new drop down > 5) "What links here": http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-20 says this feature can now be enabled via Preferences, but I don't see it anywhere. Can you point me in the right direction? > > xwiki.backlinks=1 in the xwiki.cfg the display backlinks script is here http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Doc/HowDoIFindTheBacklinksForAGivenPage > 6) Categories: Is there a way to tag pages as belonging to a category, and then go to the category and see a list of all its pages? It seems like a "What links here" macro could be used for this, but is there an easier way? > > There is a new tag field in edit mode.. We haven't worked yet on displaying all pages matching a tag and add an RSS feed for this..

XWiki.com Upgrade

by Ludovic Dubost

Hi all, XWiki.com has been upgraded to the latest SVN version (which is close to 1.0B1). This upgrade was partly forces upon us because of incompabilities between certain wikis running the most recent version and others running an older one. Due to changes to the class definition system, this was not possible anymore. Let us know if you see any problems on the hosted wikis This also means that when an XWiki is upgraded to 1.0B1 it will be be downgradable. This means admins need to be carefull and backup the database.
