Re: [xwiki-users] off-line-Version of XWiki

You could try something like http://www.tenmax.com/teleport/pro/home.htm Just make sure the user has read-only rights, because TPP clicks all the links :) -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of Ashtar Communications Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2013 05:11 AM To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] off-line-Version of XWiki Stephanie, I'm also very interested in anything you come up with, or whether anyone has additional thoughts on making an "offline" copy. I'm not sure whether my situation is similar to yours or not, but I'll explain a few things I've tried so far in case it helps either of us. Short version - has anyone successfully used Wget to mirror an XWiki instance? What I ultimately would like is an offline archive of an XWiki instance that is totally independent of needing a servlet container or database (even standalone). I understand Arnaud's suggestion to use a standalone XWiki instance to create an offline backup, but unfortunately that is too complicated for most of my users to access. In my circumstance, I have an XWiki instance that needs to "reset" at the beginning of each year, and then need to keep an archive of each full year's worth of contributions to the wiki. So I end up with a separate XWiki database for each year. This is quickly becoming cumbersome and eating up a lot of server resources to keep all of them online. I would like for an average user to be able to download an "archive" of a particular year's wiki instance so I no longer need to host it "live." One other consideration - almost all of the page content in each wiki instance is stored in objects attached to each page that are then retrieved with velocity and formatted with javascript. And most pages have a large number of attachments. Things I have tried: 1) HTML/PDF export - Like Stephanie, this doesn't work for me since it doesn't maintain navigation or scripting. 2) Standalone XWiki instance - this has proved just too complicated for my users. I'd prefer some type of archive in a flat file/HTML format if at all possible. 3) Wget - This seems to be the most promising option so far, since it's supposed to make a totally offline recursive mirror of the site. My attempts so far have been mixed - I can get some of the page content to download, but struggle with getting a completely working copy. I've also tried a few other "offline archiver" type programs, but none have worked better than Wget. If someone has successfully used Wget to mirror an XWiki site, I'd love to hear about it. Any other ideas?
