Joining two fields;
by Esbach, Brandon 11 May '06

Hi all, I guess this is more a hibernate query than an Xwiki one, but here is what I'm trying to do: We use a simple project management class currently to keep track of projects/engineer assignments/etc - currently managers type in freeform names... as you could imagine this is a bit of a problem with adding some more active content relating to the user (we're adding a 'workdesk' feature on login so that engineers/managers can see what projects/tasks/etc are assigned to them, without having to browse around and search). What I thought of doing was adding a dropdown with the user details - allowing me to create a solid link between user and project. Now here's the problem... I need to associate the firstname+lastname in the query - so that the manager/etc will pick a name they recognise immediately, instead of relying on them to know login names. Initially, I had thought to use a Map or List to request multiple fields - but this does not seem to be understood by the renderer when it creates a list dropdown - I get immediate errors Getting first name, no problem: select prop.value from BaseObject obj, StringProperty prop where obj.className='XWiki.XWikiUsers' and prop.id.id=obj.id and prop.name='first_name' EG output in the list: 'Brandon' 'UserXFirstName' Getting Last name, also no problem: select prop.value from BaseObject obj, StringProperty prop where obj.className='XWiki.XWikiUsers' and prop.id.id=obj.id and prop.name='last_name' EG output: 'Esbach' 'UserXLastName' Now it gets sticky. Join the two fields with a space between them, so that instead of 'Brandon' or 'Esbach' I get 'Brandon Esbach'.. This I cannot seem to figure out using Hibernate, so any hints/tips/suggestions would be appreciated. Problem number 2: Another small catch I have is mapping this entry so that I can query on it. Normally with data representation one would have a 'display' value and a 'link' value - kind of like the 'pretty name' and 'real name' facility of class objects; only the 'pretty name' gets shown when using automatic rendering - but the field is updated based on 'real name'. Erm. Hope that makes sense. eg if my Xwiki name is braesb, firstname Brandon, lastname Esbach I could have a list looking like this: 'Brandon Esbach' 'UserXFirstName UserXLastName' Selecting 'Brandon Esbach' would then look to my 'link' value of Xwiki.braesb, and store this with the record. Querying on this then becomes no problem - but can this be done in Xwiki?

How can I move to a two-column view?
by Adrian Hall 11 May '06

11 May '06

When I am viewing pages (as opposed to editing pages), I wish to display a two-pane view (the left hand nav and the main content area) and remove the right hand piece. When I am editing a page, I want to have the right hand explanatory text on xwiki notation. How can I do this? I'm using 0.9.840 on Jboss if it matters. -- Adrian Hall Sr. Product Line Manager, Administration and Identity Management e. ahall(a)mirapoint.com; t. +1 (408) 720-3856; c. +1 (408) 667-4977

Is the XWiki site down?
by Brian Knorr 10 May '06

I cannot get to http://www.xwiki.com or my xwiki site...I can get everywhere else on the web. Does xwiki go down often? I am a little concerned about availability of my xwiki site. Thanks, Brian

RE: [xwiki-users] JAAS Integration with XWiki
by THOMAS, BRIAN M (SBCSI) 09 May '06

Thanks, Charles. I left a similar request as a comment on your wiki. I am actively working on a JAAS implementation of XWiki's interfaces. Or rather, I have begun by subclassing the XWiki*ServiceImpl classes because that's how some others are done and there may be things that XWiki needs there. It may actually be that it makes more sense just to implement the interfaces directly. This is probably not the venue for continued discussion in this vein, so I'll do this directly, but thought I'd let the list know that this is going on in case anyone wants to share in the effort and results. I'm not on the developers list; are you, Charles? Would that be the best place to carry on? I suppose if you didn't intend it to be an "official" part of XWiki it might not be, but on the other hand it looks like a good place for the XWiki developers to start if nothing else. The only jGuard-specific code should be connected only by the configuration files. Alternatively, perhaps the jGuard wiki would be a good place to discuss and develop the overall design. Does that sound like a good idea? I'm sorry for the delay in responding; I started this reply on Friday and then forgot about it over the weekend. Though I never completed it, I found it, marked unread, in my Sent Items folder... brain[sic] -----Original Message----- From: charles gay [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2006 3:13 AM To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] JAAS Integration with XWiki Hi, i'm part of the jGuard project and a user of Xwiki (through our website www.jguard.net hosted and powered by XWiki). jGuard implements JAAS and provide an easy way to use it in a webapp context. that's right that Xwiki security apis differs from the JAAS apis. but the concept involved in the Xwiki apis, are closed of the JAAS and jGuard ones. if you've got some interest by adapting the XWiki apis to JGuard (an JAAS implicitly), i can help you to do it. but this adapter will not be an "official" Xwiki way.... hope it helps, Charles GAY(jGuard team).

I thought I heard that XWiki supports the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) standard, but haven't found any reference to it in the docs. Further, there are some articles out about integrating JAAS into Tomcat, which is another thing to think about. We actually are considering at least two methods here - a centralized PIN server and a RADIUS server for SecurID access, and both have clients that implement the JAAS interfaces. There are a couple of strategies that I could probably try: one is just to use the JAAS/Tomcat integration route. That would seem to give the most bang-per-buck, but that would (I think) not allow controls at the level of granularity that XWiki does, or would actually take controls away from the XWiki rights system. Another (actually my first idea) is to implement the various com.xpn.xwiki.user.api interfaces (XWikiAuthService, XWikiGroupService, and XWikiRightService) with JAAS calls. Anyone have any experience with this? brain[sic] -- You receive this message as a subscriber of the xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org mailing list.

Hey guys, Anybody knows where I can found the documentation about XWiki codes? Ex.: What's it: Where's the docs about this? #includeForm("XWiki.XWikiUserSheet") #includeMacros("XWiki.TagMacro") #ShowEditTags() #set($recentlyviewed = $xwiki.getRecentActions("view", 5)) #foreach($docname in $recentlyviewed) Att, Filipe Fumaux

Skinning Sections
by Jason Koeninger 08 May '06

08 May '06

Based on the "Sectioning Preferences" UI, it looks like XWiki intends to support the ability to skin "Sections". The only problem is that I haven't been able to get it to work. Being a developer, I checked out some of the code, and from what I've seen, the Skin setting in Sectioning Preferences appears to be ignored. I've even gone so far as to make some changes to try to pick up my skin setting for the section, but my changes haven't worked. Obviously, I don't fully understand the data model. If anyone has any pointers on how to get this to work, I would appreciate it. It's the only thing holding me back from adopting XWiki for one of our sites. Thanks, Jason Koeninger J&J Computer Consulting

Whats in the TOC?
by Adrian Hall 08 May '06

08 May '06

According to the Javadoc, there is a TOC associated with each document, and it is retrieved by getTOC() I understand it is a map of a map. Can someone shed some light onto how it is organized? What I am trying to do is use velocity to get the first heading in a document. i.e. every document starts with 1 <heading> and I wish to display this in RSS and search results. -Adrian -- Adrian Hall Sr. Product Line Manager, Administration and Identity Management e. ahall(a)mirapoint.com; t. +1 (408) 720-3856; c. +1 (408) 667-4977
