Hi Graham, If you are looking for consultancy, I am sure http://xwiki.com is the right place to start with. If you are simply asking if what you are looking for is possible with XWiki, I think yes. I think it is worth you take a look to Virtual servers (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowToSetupVirtualWikis) and XWiki Enterprise Manager (http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/). XWiki has a huge number of features, many of them not obvious by now for a regular user like me, that allow fine grained access control and a complete separation between business rules, presentation and data. I think we need a better understanding of the available tools and a lot of imagination to put things together! :-) Hope this helps, Ricardo creegers wrote: our the domains, products different. through countries -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Look at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/LuceneSearch?text=lucene&x=0&a… for example. In a wiki farm, the wikis can "communicat" with each other meaning that you can link other wikis content (with the syntax: [A link on wiki "wikiname">wikiname:SomeSpace;SomePage]) and you can also have rights on a wiki for user or group from another wikis etc... deploying 4 xwiki would This would be difficult to do because each instance will have it's own caches for lot's of thing so when you modify something on a instance the other instance will be aware of that. For that you can use cache clustering but it's really easier to user XEM for such a use case.

Cool! Don't you think this is worth a FAQ entry? Look at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/

I have added a bunch of extra properties to users to store more information by changing XWikiUserSheet and use velocity to display the information in useable ways. Below is the basics of a page I have for simply displaying all the info for every user of the wiki, although in our case it has a bunch of custom properties. Following that is some code to show users in each group. > /**Start code here**/ > > All Team Members on the Wiki (using velocity) > > #set ($sql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='XWiki.XWikiUsers'") > #set ($allUsers = $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql)) > > Click User name to get more information or edit profile > > <table id="userTable" class="grid sortable filterable doOddEven" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" nowrap> > <tr class="sortHeader"> > <th>User</th> > <th>Project</th> > <th>Email</th> > <th>Company</th> > </tr> > #foreach ($user in $allUsers) > #set ($userdoc = $xwiki.getDocument($user)) > #set ($em = $userdoc.display("email","view",$user)) > <tr> > <td>[$userdoc.first_name $userdoc.last_name | $userdoc] </td> > <td> $userdoc.display("other_info","view",$user)</td> > <td>[$em | mailto:$em ]</td> > <td> $userdoc.display("company","view",$user)</td> > </tr> > #end > </table> > /**END xwiki code > > /**Start code here**/ > Get the email of all users in a group (using velocity) > > #set ($sql = ", BaseObject as obj where obj.name=doc.fullName and obj.className='XWiki.XWikiGroups'") > #set ($allGroups = $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql)) > #foreach ($group in $allGroups) > 1.1 $group > #set ($groupdoc = $xwiki.getDocument($group)) > #set ($groupMembers = $util.sort($xwiki.rightsmanager.getAllMembersNamesForGroup($groupdoc.name))) > #foreach ($mem in $groupMembers) > #set ($userdoc = $xwiki.getDocument($mem)) > #set ($em = $userdoc.display("email","view",$mem)) > $em<br> > #end > #end > /**END xwiki code > > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: users-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:users-bounces@xwiki.org] On >> Behalf Of [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team >> Sent: Thursday, December 11, 2008 1:56 AM >> To: XWiki Users >> Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] advice on wiki structure >> >> Hi Graham, >> >> If you are looking for consultancy, I am sure http://xwiki.com is the >> right place to start with. >> >> If you are simply asking if what you are looking for is possible with >> XWiki, I think yes.
