There is this extension
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Flash%20messages%20application
it's not using panels, but has the purpose you want.
it needs to be tested with latest versions of XWiki,

If you want to inherit xwiki.defaultbaseskin then don't put any
skin.properties or an empty one.

A feature. When you set parent to empty string you explicitly indicate you
don't want to inherit any skin (i.e. you disable xwiki.defaultbaseskin).
This is actually important for a skin made from scratch (like flamingo
which do exactly that) which would be broken if the default base skin is
changed.

Re: [xwiki-users] Question to skins and inheriting files

[Interaktionsweise]

I can file a bug report.
Just wanted to add something I forgot to mention and make sure it is still a 
bug.

If I leave the field "parent" within skin.properties empty the error occurs.
If I explicitly add flamingo "parent=flamingo" the error does not occur.

>From the description in the documentation I assumed it is not necessary to add 
>the parent because it is defined in "xwiki.defaultbaseskin" within "xwiki.cfg".

Is it a bug or a feature?

Re: [xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request

[Thomas Mortagne]

Note that MyXWiki.org might not be the best for your use case since
you won't have programming right. In practice it means you won't have
the whole spectrum of possibilities (mainly impossible to install some
extensions, impossible to use some APIs in the scripts).

Still want one ?

Re: [xwiki-users] Installation from .deb packages

[Thomas Mortagne]

I just looked at https://packages.debian.org and from what I
understand the package mysql-server exist in jessie and the package
default-mysql-server is only included in jessie-backports.

However stretch does not contain any package mysql-server, are you
sure you are on Jessie ?

Anyway I will use the following to be safe: "mysql-server |
default-mysql-server | mariadb-server".

Re: [xwiki-users] Question to skins and inheriting files

[Interaktionsweise]

Hi,

I tried two skins with the same edits.
I only changed the file companylogo.vm and added a file logo-company.png.
The skin.properties file points to flamingo as parent.

In one skin folder I copied all of the flamingo files and edited as described.
If I change the skin for the wiki everything is as expected and the changes 
show up with the newly set skin.

The other skin folder only has the edited files
_ companylogo.vm
_ logo-company.png
_ skin.properties

If I switch to this skin, tested changing it only for one page, I see an error 
"You are not allowed to view this page or perform this action" after pressing 
save.
If I try to switch to the changed page from the wiki frontend, I only see a 
blank page.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? Why is there no inheritance?

Regards,
sthag

Yes you can inherit from Flamingo, no need to duplicate it if you just
want to customize some templates only.

Re: [xwiki-users] Installation from .deb packages

Well, I don't know which one is needed. But there is a package called 
"default-mysql-server" maybe it's the one we are looking for here.

I have no time to test it now. But if you've trouble finding the right one, I 
try to find it sometime this week.

Re: [xwiki-users] Installation from .deb packages

[Thomas Mortagne]

The current dependencies in the package are:

xwiki-enterprise-common (= [[version]]), mysql-server, libmysql-java
(>= 5.1.4), dbconfig-common

having something like "mysql-server | mariadb-server" (i.e. need
either mysql-server or mariadb-server) is easy, just want to be what
is the right package.

I'm surprised you are the first one to report that and Ubuntu does not complain 
about this. What is the new package name ?

So am I... Well, when I try to install it, it says that the package got 
replaced by: "mariadb-server-10.1"

But I don't know if that’s true :/

Maybe I'm getting something wrong but it doesn't work for me. Can someone

I have an issue installing the .deb packages from the maven repositories.

The installation of xwiki-enterprise-tomcat8-mysql (and all other mysql 
installations) has a dependency to the old "mysql-server" package from the old 
versions of debian.
It was replaced/removed in debian Jessie. 

It would be great if you could fix the dependency so the automatic installation 
works as it should. :)

Kind regards,

[xwiki-users] News panel wizard

[Sebastian Luna Valero]

Hello,

Is it possible to make announcements to users on XWiki so they can see it
easily when they log in?

Not sure whether this functionality is already available somehow on XWiki
(I'm using version 8.4.5) and I am thinking of presenting the announcements
within a panel wizard similar to one like "recently modified".

Best regards,
Sebastian

Yes you can inherit from Flamingo, no need to duplicate it if you just
want to customize some templates only.

[xwiki-users] Question to skins and inheriting files

[Interaktionsweise]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a new skin. I followed the section Skins within the 
Developer's Guide and also Platform Features / Skins.
The article "How to create a new skin" says to copy the whole colibri (should 
be flamingo by now) skin folder and make an example change. Then there is a 
part about skin.properties. The property "parent" indicates a skin to inherit 
from. It says that it always has a value, even if I don't explicitly enter one 
for myself it will inherit from WAR or whatever is configured in 
"xwiki.defaultbaseskin".
Does that mean I don't have to copy the whole flamingo folder if I reference 
flamingo as "parent"? This way I could only create a custom named folder within 
the xwiki/skins folder with the skin.properties file and for example a logo.png 
file which would replace the flamingo logo.png file.
I don't understand the behavior and the functionality of this inheriting and 
parent child relation of skins from the articles in the documentation. Why have 
a parent if I copy the whole skin folder anyways?
