RE: [xwiki-users] New Xwiki: Remember me option

It was available for a short time a few days ago in the download section (Fri I think). Size of WAR file is 42,522,873 bytes; if that helps. I think I was likely a little jumpy and kept a bit too sharp an eye on the links, they were disabled again later that day. I tend to use the WAR file, not the installer; as we have an existing installation and from what I could tell, the .exe installer is a standalone (not upgradable) version? In my case, this is the short version of what I did: 1) Exported my database manually via MySQL to our test server. 2) Setup username/etc in MySQL to be default (which I'd checked by expanding the WAR temporarily on the test server). 3) Copy over the old xwiki folder from our live server to test that the data connections are working. 4) Stop tomcat, dropped the XWiki .war file into the tomcat installation already there, and start tomcat. At this point, the only thing different between the old XWiki and the upgraded one, is the xwiki files (which we don't alter directly, we use the skin to modify files as we need). 5) Connect to Xwiki. By default, the old skin was used (no surprise as our old database was used). To get around this, I used the old ?skin=MySkin and typed in the preferences link manually to change this to MySkin. I didn't know the new skin was called xwiki10b1 though - this could be why my skin didn't work right (0.9.840 default skin was called MySkin, so this probably was used as far as possible). I'd like to know though, is there more work being done on this version since Friday's download? Or is the one I have the released b1? ________________________________ From: Vincent Massol [mailto:vincent@massol.net] Sent: 18 December 2006 15:46 To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: RE: [xwiki-users] New Xwiki: Remember me option Hi Brandon, From: Esbach, Brandon [mailto:Esbachb@tycoelectronics.com] Sent: vendredi 15 décembre 2006 14:18 To: xwiki-users(a)objectweb.org Subject: [xwiki-users] New Xwiki: Remember me option Just noticed that if you don't set this option, xwiki won't log you on (well, for me anyways). Using: Firefox 1.5; default cookie options. I've just tried it with a fresh xwiki install, using the installer for 1.0 beta 1 and it worked fine. I'm using FF2 though but I don't think it matters. Please try it when the beta 1 is available and if it still doesn't work please raise a bug in jira. Also: Seems the new skin does not want to initialise on my existing wiki, not sure what I need to do to enable? I have managed to change the Preferences to point to the MySkin, but am only receiving an all-text layout. How did you get the new skin ? Normally the way to upgrade to it is to upgrade your xwiki install to 1.0 beta 1 and then change your skin name to xwiki10b1. But as beta 1 is not released yet, I'm not sure how you got it? J From SVN? Thanks -Vincent
