New subject: [xwiki-users] When adding a new page, can a standard template be used?

26 Sep 2007

Thanks Wei-hsing,

In my XWiki setup I've set it so all users have to login and so when its
their first login to the XWiki they end up at
http://167.138.122.17:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiLogin%3Bjsessionid%3D7s
or9btuj7s6d with a message saying "The requested document could not be
found." Any ideas?

I have found though that I could edit the CSS login.vm albatros skin file to
add an email link (for users to request an XWiki user account from the
administrator i.e. me) onto the login page if that's of any use to any other
users out there.

Regards,

Richard

Hi, 
One way to direct user to a certain page after login is to make that page
require a login (guest view denied), a link to that page, say "Members,
enter here," will cause the login page to show up, after login, they will be
directed to that first member page. This method is not the best, but cost no
effort.

 Hi all,

 Anyone know the answers:
 * Does anyone know how to update the text on the login page with say an
 email link for people to request an account, etc?
 * Redirect the user to a certain initial page when they login?
 If anyone has any answer I can paste them to the FAQ section of the XWiki
 website.

 Regards,

 Richard

 Ok, so I figured it out.  The tutorial should be updated for the latest
 release.  It doesn't describe the process to associate the object very well.
...
  Anyhow, thanks just the same.
