Hi Ruslan, there indeed is a problem with some of the links on XWiki.org right now. It's apparently a problem with our virtual wiki setup on XWiki.org. We're working on changing the configuration back to normal and will keep you informed once it's done. Thanks for reporting the issue, Guillaume On 09/02/2008, rssh <[email protected]> wrote:

Looks, that link for Enterprise from http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ is point to self: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/

Humpf... Someone deleted the other wikis? We're trying to understand what happened right now.

Fixed. It was just a cache problem. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

Hi again, I wonder if anybody had an idea whether this is possible? Thanks, Darina ________________________________ From: Dicheva, Darina Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2008 9:28 AM To: XWiki Users Subject: Categories in a second blog Hello, I created two blogs (XWiki 1.2, MySql, Tomcat), which show properly their entries, but have a problem to separate their categories, so that when you want to create a new blog entry you are presented only the categories for that blog to select from. Is there an easy way to do that? It would be great also if one can define two different category spaces, but I guess this is impossible ... Thanks, Darina

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...

Hello,

I have installed a virtual wiki (using XWiki 1.2, MySql, Tomcat 5.5.17), with a blog with editing rights given to only a specific user group. Sometimes (but not always) there is a problem in creating new blog entries (the error doesn't occur each time and it occurs also if the admin creates the entry ...):

The latest: when trying to enter an article with posttitle "Identity: How to Name It, How to Find It" I am getting the error:

Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Wrapped Exception: Invocation of method 'getDocument' in class com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki threw exception java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -10 @ [47,21]

The stack trace is bellow.

I have entered before articles with longer titles - is there a restriction for the length? Any idea what could be the reason for this error?

Thanks, Darina

Thank you so much, for your explanation and for advice about naming articles - it is all very clear now. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the code you referred to, on the SubmitArticle page I found: 1 Submit New Article <form method="post" action="$doc.getURL("view", "xpage=create")" onsubmit="cancelCancelEdit()"> <div class="plainmessage"> <input type="hidden" name="tocreate" value="post"/> $msg.get("posttitle"): <input type="text" name="title"/> <input type="submit" class="button" value="$msg.get("create")"/> </div> </form> Should I have looked at another place? Darina ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Guillaume Lerouge Sent: Sunday, February 17, 2008 6:44 PM To: XWiki Users Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Error in creating a blog article Indeed. You can create blog titles as long as you wish them to be, but the best is to avoid any character outside aA - zZ & 0 - 9. If you use spaces in your titles they will generate URLs such as xwiki/bin/view/Blog/My+New+Blog+Article. The best way to keep URLs clean is to ask your users to write MyNewBlogArticle as their title, and then change it to something nicer. One thing I find weird is that usually a js function is called to clean the name of a page before the page is created to help prevent such problems as the one you encountered... Can you check whether new blog posts name go through the xwiki updateName() jc function ? Your life would get much easier if they did, as in : <form action="" id="newblogarticle" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="template" value="Blog.ArticleClassTemplate"/> <input type="hidden" name="sheet" value="1"/> Article Name : <input type="text" size="40" name="articlename" value="Your blog article"/> #NOTE HOW updateName() IS USED BELOW <input type="button" value="Add this blog article" onclick='if (updateName(this.form.articlename)) {this.form.action="../../inline/" + this.form.space.value + "/" + this.form.articlename.value; this.form.submit(); }'/> </form> Hope this helps, Guillaume On 18/02/2008, Dicheva, Darina <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks, Guillaume - it worked!!
