Thanks for the response!! sorry to reply so late...... I will try deriving a table in html also and seeing if I can use html tags to centralize the table. That would be really cool if it works. P.s. I'm also not sure if my emails are coming through properly on the list as they don't come back to me after selecting the "ON" button in the mailing list config???? As a result I don't think my first email got through; titled: Tomcat error: 500 Could not initialize main XWiki context I managed to sort it out however but still it is strange!

Hi there,

finally after managing to get XWiki installed on my FreeBSD system I am trying to create a tree where information will go under according to the specific type and heading:

Basically what I'm after it this:

Main -> Howto's -> FreeBSD Solaris OpenSolaris Linux

So far I managed to get the desired affect by: creating a new space called Howto's and then linking in the rest of the items as pages spanning downwards from the main root in the tree.... is this correct or can I created spaces within spaces??

This is correct. At this time you cannot create spaces within spaces.

Also I am wondering how to centrally align a table? I have attempted the

...

following syntax as I couldn't find any graphic buttons on the editor to perform the task:

(% style="table-align=center" %) |[[[[image:freebsdlogo2.png||alt="freebsdlogo.png" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400"]]>>FreeBSD]] |[[[[image:logomed2.jpg||alt="logomed.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400"]]>>Linux]] |[[[[image:solarislogo2.png||alt="solarislogo.png" height="208" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"

width="400"]]>>Solaris]]|[[[[image:OpenSolarisLogo2.gif||alt="OpenSolarisLogo.gif" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400"]]>>OpenSolaris]]

This however doesn't work as the table is still left aligned???

I'm not sure how to help you with this. You could try using Firebug to change styles affecting a table in view mode and then using the resulting code to achieve the desired effect in wiki syntax.

...

Any advise is much appreciated as I am struggling to find much documentation on this wiki at all and what is around seems to be really lean. If I manage to get as far as creating what I want with a custom look then I will definitely create a manual on it as that's my intention for the WiKi in the first place!!

That would be very nice of you. XWiki definitely needs more documentation and every helping hand matters! We'll be looking forward to your contribution on XWiki.org

Guillaume

Many thanks,

Well, the following works fine for me: (% style="text-align: right;" %) Some text Guillaume On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 10:07, Kaya Saman <[email protected]> wrote:

Also just as a demo am attempting to start my manuals here:

http://wiki.optiplex-networks.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Dashboard

under Howto's!

I really wish that I could align text and other information though as left, centered, or right. I would be really cool!!

Anyway, hopefully I will be able to get this going properly and get some people looking at it when they are in need of help.

Regards,

Kaya

The buttons to align text are disabled by default, but you can enable them easily by following http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/EnableAligntoolbaronWYSIWYGeditor (let me know is something is not clear enough). Now, even if you enable the align tool bar, you still won't be able to center the table, because the alignment will affect the table cells and not the table itself. In order to center the table you have to :

(% style="table-align=center" %)

(% style="margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto" %) Hope this helps, Marius

Hi Marius, I just attempted to enable the justify toolbar and the text color toolbar and so far I did this: Changed the plugin statement to include: plugins: '$xwiki.getXWikiPreference("wysiwyg.plugins", "submit line separator text *color justify* list indent hi and the toolbar statement to include: toolbar: '$xwiki.getXWikiPreference("wysiwyg.toolbar", "bold italic underline strikethrough | subscript superscript | unorderedlist orderedlist | outdent indent | undo redo | hr symbol | *backcolor*")', am using XWiki 2.0 however, and currently the only thing that actually made it on the WYSIWYG editor is a little box saying "highlight text" which changes background color but that's it?? The actual page you gave me on changing the "*Justify*" setting was pretty lean as to what and how to do!! A more howto like approach similar to: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/WysiwygEditor#HEnabletoo... would have been better for me to aide with understanding. Maybe this page could be edited to include all "enable" options for the toolbar?? Thanks, Kaya On 24/08/2010 11:32, Marius Dumitru Florea wrote:

Changed the plugin statement to include:

plugins: '$xwiki.getXWikiPreference("wysiwyg.plugins", "submit line separator text *color justify* list indent hi

and the toolbar statement to include:

As written on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/WysiwygEditor#HEnabletoo... tool bar features are provided by plugins. To enable a tool bar feature to have to:

1. Make sure the plugin that provides the feature is loaded, i.e. the name of the plugin is listed in the "plugins" configuration parameter.

2. Make sure the feature is placed on the tool bar, i.e. the name of the feature is listed in the "toolbar" configuration parameter.

You did the first step correctly but you haven't completed the second one. You added only "backcolor" feature to the tool bar. Here http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/WysiwygEditor#HPluginsan... you can find what features provides each plugin. So to have justify features on the tool bar you have to add "justifyleft justifycenter justifyright justifyfull". Also, color plugin provides "forecolor" besides "backcolor" so you should add it too.

Hope this helps, Marius
