Re: [xwiki-users] Error in creating a blog article

Thanks, Guillaume - it worked!! Obviously the special characters have been the problem. So, am I correctly understanding that string length doesn't matter and spaces are OK, but special characters shouldn't be used? Since I have to instruct the future users of the blog... Thanks again for the help, Darina ________________________________ From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On Behalf Of Guillaume Lerouge Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2008 5:34 PM To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Error in creating a blog article Hi, have you tried entering the same title but removing out special characters such as "," and ":" ? They might be the cause of your problem. -> you may want to prefer using "IdentityHowToNameItHowToFindIt" to create new pages (because that's what will show up in the URL) and then use nice name and special chars only in the title field of your blog post once on the blog article page...
