Hi
We like to use the xwiki as our Intranet solution.
Currently it's setup as one global xwiki where people find downloads and the
dashboard.
Also each department use a subWiki, which uses local dashboard and infos.
Maybe we need some help on howto configure/setup these requirements:
1. subWiki send messages should be visible local only. Currently they are
seen also on global xwiki as copy.
This is the easy part :)
Go to the "Dashboard" in the main wiki, edit that page,
open the gadgets showing the activity stream, look for the "Wikis" parameter,
and fill in the value "xwiki"
(which is the id of the main wiki)
After saving the activity stream on the dashboard stream should only show events from the
main wiki.
2. global xwiki send messages should be visible also
at local xwiki
dashboard. If possible as Reference, not as copy.
this turned out to be trickier, because the activity stream in the subwiki by default
only looks for events in the subwiki.
One option is to go to the dashboard of the subwiki, and replace the activity by an
include the activity stream for the main wiki (which then will display all messages, but
only page edits from the subwiki):
To do this:
- edit the dashboard of the subwiki
- remove the existing activity stream (no worries, if things go wrong you can just
restore it from the page history)
- add a new "include" gadget and fill in the values:
-- "Gadget Title" (whatever you want)
-- "context" : New
-- "reference" : xwiki:Main.Activity
and leave the other fields empty / at default
This will work only if all your users have access to the main wiki, however. (Otherwise
they just see an error message)
If this does not work, the alternative is to edit the "Activity" macro in the
subwiki ... which is a bit more work and might cause problem when upgrading to an newer
version.
I could post hints how to do this, but it is a bit lengthy and technical, and I would
prefer to see if the first option works.
hope this helps,
clemens
Final question:
If the mailing list could give us some advise how to setup xwiki, GREAT.
Otherwise we also may accept an on-site workshop, depending on the costs.
Kind regards

New subject: [xwiki-users] xwiki as our Intranet
Hi Clemens,
thanks for your advise.
1. point
Works great as you described (ok)
2. point "global xwiki send messages should be visible also at local xwiki"
We follow your recommendations.
if we use "reference" : xwiki:Main.Activity
- we see subWiki Activities (ok)
- but we miss the main Activities listed here
If we use a wrong "reference" : xwiki:MainXX.Activity
- we see a clear error msg on GUI (ok)
We try to change "administration.users"
The option 'what kind of users can access the wiki' to
- only global users
But it makes no difference.
Kind regards
Rolf LANG
