Re: [xwiki-users] In the XE Manager, how is the control site selected?
Hi Lee, I'm no expert on this by any means, but I suspect that removing the Admin page (I assume you mean the XEM main page) will cause you problems in that you would find it difficult-impossible to administer your created Wikis (i.e the wikis in your 'farm') Why not just give your users the direct link to their wiki home page they want and leave the XEM wiki admin login for yourself. In my case I havent setup host/domain names (the default XEM approach) so I am using the URL approach to get to my wiki home pages - i.e. the pages the users are going to see and work in. So for me I use (assuming I'm at the server) I use custom port 8380 so you may need to change this your side, and of course the access IP as well. http://127.0.0.1:8380/xwiki/bin/view/Main gets me to the Welcome to Wiki administrator page - the farm management page I then created ia 2 wikis - one called 'home' and the other 'projects' so now. http://127.0.0.1:8380/xwiki/wiki/home gets me to my first wiki of the farm - which I called home http://127.0.0.1:8380/xwiki/wiki/home gets me to the project specific wiki of the farm --------- to get the above working requires about 3 line edits in xwiki.cfg the docs for it are at http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/AccessWiki --- Alternatively there is the host/domain approach where I could have something like home.mydomain.local or projects.mydomain.local This is the default approach used by XEM. It looked to be a bit more RTFM to setup so I've skipped trying it for now. See http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/AccessWiki#HThedomainname... HTH Cheers
I want the first page that comes up on this wiki to be a custom page I made in lieu of this admin page. I tried to just edit the page, but it started throwing velocity exceptions...
Manfred thanks for the response. It's so hard to try to get all the relevant facts in an email. In my situation, the main wiki site is operational with it's own home page. On the site I'm trying to recover, it also has the same "main" wiki homepage as the xwiki site. I think what I want to do is get rid of this page and replace it with a custom page. I'm just not sure how to do this. Lee -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/In-the-XE-Manager%2C-how-is-the-control-site-selected--...

Any wiki page is just a wiki page. "Everything is a document", as our internal motto goes. To be on the safe side, start by renaming the current main page to a place where you'll find it when needed, and where it won't get in the way of your future busy & happy workers. This is located in the Action->Rename menu entry (on the top of the page, if you have administrator rights). After that, when you go back to the main page it should be nice and empty ("This document does not exist"). You can indeed edit it, and put whatever content you want in it. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
