Re: [xwiki-users] using PHP on Xwiki farm?

Hi, Vincent, Thanks for the answer. I am interested in formmail function using PHP, is there a proper and safe solution on XWiki already?

The reason is that we're not allowing users to use script macros such as PHP, jython, ruby and groovy. Only the Velocity macro is made available. The reason is that those script macros are very powerful and anyone could easily break the security of the farm or do dangerous things (like wipe all data on the server's hard disk for example). Thus we've not giving programming rights to users on the myxwiki farm. In the future we'll be working on defining a way to be able to restrict what you can with programming languages so that only edit rights would be necessary to use them in a "sandbox mode" but we're not there yet. Right now the only way for you to use the PHP macro is by installing XWiki Enterprise or XWiki Enterprise Manager on your own machines (and thus have programming rights). Sorry about that.
