Hi all, Is there a date property I can use to automatically display the current date on a page? I would do it in javascript but you can't embed <script> tags in {{html}} so is there a way of doing it in velocity? I can't seem to find any info on this.

Hi Lockie ! You can use $xwiki.getDate() inside your velocity code in order to display the current date. Stefan On 10/28/2010 09:06 AM, Lockie wrote:

This is really deprecated stuff and shouldn't be used. Instead you should use $datetool. http://velocity.apache.org/tools/releases/1.4/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/t… Thanks -Vincent

$date, in velocity context, doesn't return any value. It just prints "$date". What am I doing wrong? I want date in the format: yyyyMMdd, but $date.get('yyyyMd')doesn't work here either. 2010/10/28 Vincent Massol <vincent(a)massol.net>

Use (XWiki 2.0 Syntax) {{velocity}} $datetool.get('yyyyMd') {{/velocity}} Also, see http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5610 HTH!

I'm using #set($data=$datetool.get('yyyyMd')) successfully, but i can't compare dates with $data, because it is not a date, i think it is a string. How can i convert it to a date? 2010/11/29 Paul Libbrecht <paul(a)hoplahup.net>

This has always shocked me as being inefficient since it reparses and re-allocates. I planned to write a little plugin where that would be cared for but never found the time. Isn't there a standard (cached) date-format? paul _______________________________________________ users mailing list users(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Erica, Google: "datetool velocity". First results: http://velocity.apache.org/tools/releases/1.3/javadoc/org/apache/velocity/t… Gives you all the luxury (date objects, calendars, longs....). And make sure the IDE you use remember the class of date-tool for the next time you use it! paul Le 9 déc. 2010 à 19:19, Erica Usui a écrit :

New subject: [xwiki-users] java.sql.SQLException PoolablePreparedStatment

I have a new instance of XWiki running on Tomcat 5.5 / Mysql Server 5.1. The wiki appears to be running fine, no errors being shown to the user. However, in the tomcat log I'm getting a bunch of java.sql.SQLExceptions like the following: java.sql.SQLException: org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolablePreparedStatement with address: "com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement@1f07f48: insert into activitystream_events (ase_requestid, ase_stream, ase_date, ase_priority, ase_type, ase_application, ase_user, ase_wiki, ase_space, ase_page, ase_url, ase_title, ase_body, ase_version, ase_param1, ase_param2, ase_param3, ase_param4, ase_param5, ase_eventid) values (** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **, ** NOT SPECIFIED **)" is closed. and : java.sql.SQLException: org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolablePreparedStatement with address: "com.mysql.jdbc.PreparedStatement@cbe525: update xwikiproperties set XWP_CLASSTYPE=** NOT SPECIFIED ** where XWP_ID=** NOT SPECIFIED ** and XWP_NAME=** NOT SPECIFIED **" is closed. I looked around the archive and didn't see anything. I'm concerned that this is important even though it doesn't seem to be affecting the usability of the XWiki. Can anyone tell me what the deal is?

First of all: this message appears in my Thunderbird email client threaded with "[xwiki-users] Display current date on page" message. Have you use this message to post your first one on this topic? If yes, it must be avoided in the shake of clarity and to ease people willing to help you, and XWiki Community in general!, to follow independently each thread. Thanks! About the logged error. Both activitystream_events and xwikiproperties are XWiki tables, thus it seems something is going wrong when inserting in activitystream_events and when updating xwikiproperties. Well, nothing fancy to say this! :-) I do think that it is worth to create a Jira Issue (http://jira.xwiki.org) detailing what XE release are you using. The suitable place would be: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XPAS
