Re: [xwiki-users] [Proposal] Improving the User Guide documentation
Please somedbody of the long term addicts should write a book about XWiki.

Re: [xwiki-users] Damaged wiki-pages because of getURL returns incorect URL
Hi,
your screenshots remind me of a problem I had one month ago configuring
public xwiki access
for my local installation.
I finally solved it by modifying the section of the httpd
deamon which serves
all my incoming internet traffic.
Although my situation may not apply in detail to yours it might be a
"hint" for further research with
your system administrators.
Heres the link:

Re: [xwiki-users] Changing the default home in 2.2
Hi,
yes, unfortunately the hyperlink on the logo is hardcoded to Main.WebHome.
You'll find this in the file global.vm in the templates / skins folder
of your xwiki installation.
Extract from that file:
#set($logoname = $xwiki.getSkinPreference("logo", "logo.png"))
#set($logo = $!prefdoc.getAttachment($logoname))
#if(!$logo)
#set($logourl = $xwiki.getSkinFile($logoname))
#else
#set($logourl = $prefdoc.getAttachmentURL($logo.filename,
"download"))
#end
companylogo
company
You can change this in your installation, there is more than one option.
One way to override skins is documented here:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Skins#HD.OverridingtheSkincomponents
It would be more consistent imho, if the default implementation of
global.vm would refer the settings
xwiki.defaultweb=MySpace
xwiki.defaultpage=WebHome

[xwiki-users] HTML Macro browser dependent ?
Unless I'm doing something very stupid I'd think the HTML macro shows
some weird browser dependent behaviour:
{{html}}
SomeText
{{/html}}
Works as expected with firefox 3.x / Safari
Doesn't work in IE 7/8 and Chrome.
The {{html}}-embedded code is missing in the page output for these browsers.
When examining the page with Firebug I also noticed that the *listItem*
example on
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/HTMLMacro
renders unexpectedly.
Firebug reveals
...
listitem>/li>
...
Neither nor 'class="star" ' are part of the example source so
this example is either a fake or the macro shows undocumented behaviour.
IMHO the macro should just write its raw output to the page not
depending on any other circuumstances.
The macro example page and I guess all of
http://code.xwiki.org are looking crippled on IE7 as the content area is
clipped.
Wiki version is 2.3 M1

[xwiki-users] XWiki going out of resources
Hi XWiki users, fwiw I just want to share my experiences and observations with XWiki instance running out of memory. I was having a hard time to track this down but in the end I could successfully isolate the problem. For quite some time my XWiki instance was getting unresponsive to requests sooner or later. The Wiki was hosted on a VirtualBox VM and in most cases the VM guest was just freezing and needed to be restarted leaving no usable traces in the logs. In some cases I even found JVM crash reports so I first checked different JVMs and VirtualBox versions (PUEL and OSE licences). I had no success with this approach and so I moved the XWiki directly to a host environment (Ubuntu 10.10). I added Server instrumentation (VisualVM) but still the wiki got down after a while. Surprisingly the system was hanging although in many cases there was even enough memory available (I checked different VM settings up to 4GB). Finally a VisualVM thread dump showed what happened: When the robots came visiting my service they query a large number of pages and among them was one user-url: .../XWiki/someUser which ran into an infinite looping condition when rendering the page. I don't know how this could happen but as a result the whole memory was consumed and partly released afterwards so it seemed that there is still enough space available. Once this happened however the Webserver needed to be restarted because it wasn't responsive any more. Since I have deleted this user account everything is running ok for a couple of days now - I still have to move the service back into the VirtualBox guest VM. What puzzles me finally that its possible that one single request can kill the service by going into an infinte rendering loop. I would have thought that at some level there is a depth limit to prevent such conditions. Hope these observations help someone though enjoy Andreas ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [xwiki-users] evaluating xwiki for our needs
Hello Scott, similar situation here - small consulting shop running a couple of XWiki instances here since ~2 years. Sort of love-hate relationship. What worries me most is that's quite cumbersome yet almost impossible to create a sleek skin without a routined designer in your team. I am kind of envious about the sleek wordpress designs of other peoples interactive sites where you can pick a design from the many free (and commercial templates). Skin creation is sort of moving target as it changes from version to version meaning migration efforts of a customized site cannot be predicted. Some people suggested some time ago to add support for design creation tools like Artisteer but that's obviously not on the roadmap. OTOH it fits in our consulting repertoire Java Spring Postgres Tomcat and I think we will still go ahead with it. FWIW one of our playground sites is teamsched.com the 'docs' part is powered by XWiki. have fun Andreas Am 29.12.2010 23:02, schrieb Scott Serr: > Greetings XWiki Users, > > We are a small company of 3 people.

Re: [xwiki-users] Executing Velocity on Multiple Pages
Hi, If you don't mind providing the change on the server side then I'd suggest copy the template 'layoutExtraVars.vm' from the template folder of your wiki into your skins folder (if you don't have your own its possibly 'colibri').

[xwiki-users] Drop mailing lists in favor of a forum software
Hi everyone, I'd like to make the proposal to drop the existing mailing lists in favor of a forum (bulletin board) software. The objective is to promote the XWiki community discussions to a broader audience. 1) A forum serves like an advertising window as anyone can read the contributions without subscription. 2) Anyone can judge the activity by reading the view count. 3) New users can get in touch with the community without being urged to subscribe to a mailing list. 4) Many people consider mailing lists as spam and prefer not to subscribe 5) Contributions have a longer visibility and older entries will get responses 6) Communication gets more efficient as the same topics won't get repeatedly discussed 7) To my experience forums get much better indexed by google as mail collectors like Nabble , Markmail, e.t.c. 8) Forums encourage user to user discussions and you will see new users taking an active role 9) There should be at least one additional category IMHO: administrators 10) A forum is more pleasure to read once a topic split into many threads 11) A forum is beneficial when expecting increasing support requirements - some real large scale forums were run by just a few moderators 12) More people will see what a teriffic job the XWiki team does.

I might not have written my proposal if I were. But shouldn't the forums be mentioned / linked in a more prominent place on the homepage ? However as I wrote - the objective was "to promote the XWiki community discussions to a broader audience" as part of a strategy to make XWiki aware to more users that don't already subscribe and that my not already be aware of XWiki.org. I have no numbers at hand - its just my feelings - that indexing of markmail and nabble to google compares badly to other forum software. But so what - except for the ugly reading of large threads and the meaningless statistics of a threads view count because of the many different access methods - there is not that much left over I guess. > See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/MailingLists > And more specifically: > http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Forum > > Now if this forum doesn't fit your needs could you explain what requirements > you'd have for a forum and which solution you'd pick? > I personally liked jive forums but it doesn't exist anymore (it's folded into > a full collaboration suite now). I have a personal favorite - that is stackoverflow.com. Its fun to read - encourages exploration - there are numerous indications for the relevance of a contribution. I've been pointed to by google a couple of times and for many purposes it became my primary forum website. Many people there that are seeking advice a la 'whats the best tool to ...' However its a developers forum and from a project "owner" perspective I'd hesitate to recommend it as a support forum. Its backed by VC and soon they will need to make money one way or the other.

Re: [xwiki-users] Drop mailing lists in favor of a forum software
Hi everyone, as for your morning entertainment I'll tell a little shortstory. Get yourself a coffee - relax - and a few mins to read and think about it. Back in 2004 2 Java Developers that were upset about EJBs published a book with their thoughts and recommendations about how J2EE software developement should be done in their minds. The 2 guys were Rod Johnson and Juergen Hoeller, the book was "J2EE Development without EJB", and they created the spring framework. Right from the beginning they were sharing their thoughts with a community that quickly became larger. I think every Java Developer knows the rest of the story - spring is the leading free open source framework used in enterprise java dev and it is today a subdivision of VMWare. Left aside I have liked it more in its earlier days when it was not so crowded - checking the numbers from their forums there are roughly 80.000 members, the forum which is run by vBulletin flags 5.500 as active. http://forum.springsource.org The interesting story about that is that there was an impressive flow of knowledge from the masterminds to the people that joined in in a way a pyramid of knowledge was building up. The senior members trained the newbies and the newbies trained the next generation and so on. Some members had their own ideas and started subprojects - I remember about security - workflow -webservices and toolSuite. Once these subprojects got a certain size they became an own module in the spring ecosystem with an own forum (and their initiators became employees of springsource and later VMWare). Why am I telling this ? This apporach feels much more "community" to me as the XWiki "community". The Xwiki community seems to be of 2 parts: On one side a small group of people developing the code and giving answers. On the other side questioners that soon drop out once their problem is solved. I wouldn't regard those being part of a"community" - I'd say they are "requesters" - users just having a service request. It may have to do with the media we are using - mailing lists - which is not encouraging to keep a thread active (or easily visible) over a longer lifecycle. In the years I've been working on spring based projects I have done very rare contributions (requests and answers) to the forum - most of the time a solution to my problem could already be found in the existing contributions. What irony that Sergiu was the only one to remember/find out that this topic had been deeply discussed in 2007 ? Of course you can't compare a framework like spring to a solution like Xwiki and it may be due to the inspiration and charisma of Rod that so many people followed his voice and helped to build a community. Although he was not as democratic as the XWiki founders - a lot of things weren't discussed with the community. In the end it has been to everybodys benefit I guess. Coming back to my topic i cannot imagine how they could have done it just with a mailing list. One final word on the concern that running 2 different systems (a mailing list for devs and a forum for users) might be too much of a burdon for the poeple maintaining it: As for the example of spring there weren't these 2 systems - it was all transparent on the forums. And I'm still very much for hoping this pyramid to build up - at least for the users stuff - that would be a relief for the devs ! Please think about it and reconsider your votes still here is my +1 for the forum (which one to be decided in another thread) with a seperate developers list or not Andreas ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[xwiki-users] Off-topic: Xwiki and VMs
Hi Johannes, everyone, actually this is sort of repsonse to Johannes @jstoldt contribution here http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Back-to-the-future-of-XWiki-tt6084764.html regarding VM's and it is off-topic in either dev and user. Johannes, why not drill deeper into this VM stuff ? If you have spare time leftover and want to contribute - why not be the first one to create an Amazon EC2 xwiki image ? For newbies there are free Amazon EC2 accounts: http://aws.amazon.com/de/free/ When creating a VM I'd check for an Ubuntu Ready-to-go image - there are several hanging around. Check the Ubuntu website for a recommendation. Of course Linux background is beneficial - might be mandatory. However with Ubuntu many installations are pretty straight forward and well documented - installation of database (postgres ?) - webserver (tomcat ?) and an XWiki .war should be straightforward. When you're are done and all is running fine you can make a template of it for others to use. I'd be interested in a report. I'd love to do it but I'm lacking time now ... As here is no real forum for this we might continue correspondence in another place. WDYT ? Andreas ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

For my own FOSS project I'm hoping to start soon - I'll be going with
http://stackoverflow.com. Providing support means checking the site for
tagged questions a couple of times a day. It's just one mouse click. For
me it makes no real difference in getting mails or checking a forum as
long as you have a one-click list of open topics.
Gathering all the information about all possible options and criteria
can get very time consuming so I think we should try to rule out
something first.
Forums that are operated by other providers (getsatisfaction,
stackoverflow, ...) might
* be discontinued without warning (see jive)
* change their policy later (no more free forums)
* not expose user mail addresses and forum content (or might change that
policy) so you're locked in.
* not be as flexible as own forums if you want to change something (add
category, ...)
OTOH operating an own forum
* requires admin efforts (must be maintained and updated, backups, ...)
* may not be as publicly visible as that of other providers (because of
their advertisements ...)
* may not be as innovative as special forum operators ('awarding for
active participants', ...)
In addition there are concerns valid for both:
* Is it important to somehow import the existing mail archive ?
So IMO this is the first decision - is it ok to rely on somebody else ?
and then decide which one.
I'd be ok to spend time on it once its clear which way to go.
However - as for me - nothing will happen fast as beside of my daily
work I already have a side project so this is kind of
side-project-side-project.
Now for getsatisfaction - I don't know anything about it except that
what can be found on their site.
They don't seem to offer free accounts for open source. I've also seen
no indication you can get mail alerts for new contributions.
So how do we approach this ?

[xwiki-users] CSS customization and themes
Hi again,
in my ongoing efforts in customizing the appearance of the pages of my
wiki I've followed the steps of the skin extension tutorial:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/SkinExtensionsTutorial
I've created a StyleSheetExtension and selected 'Use this extension'
'Always on the wiki' and it works as expected.
However I've started to replace fix color settings by references to the
themes settings
e.g. $theme.borderColor ... $theme.titleColor
and also I've checked 'Parse content' 'Yes' and disabled caching this
doesn't work.
Velocity statements seem not to be processed or I am referring to
invalid property names.
(I have been trying the ones from /templates/colorThemeInit.vm)
What am I doing wrong here ?
In the example the page is laoded on demand with
$xwiki.jsx.use("XWiki.MyFirstStylesheetExtension")
so I would assume there should be a document named
"MyFirstStylesheetExtension" in XWiki space (or maybe some other space).
Thats not the case for my own instance of
XWiki.MyFirstStylesheetExtension that I've added.
Shouldn't I be able to find the instance as a document somewhere in the
spaces ?
Thanks for your support

[xwiki-users] What is the best strategy to document multiple versions (of a software) with XWiki ?
Hi, I'm wondering how I should document multiple versions of a software with XWiki. 1) Each versions documentation should be accessible under a version name that is part of the url http://www.thesoftware.org/version1/Reference_page1 2) Current version should point (redirect ?) to the most recent version http://www.thesoftware.org/currentVersion/Reference_page1 (Note that I have left off any parts of the url requried by XWiki (bin ...) Its important that all pages of a version can be referenced as a permalink. I'm thinking to do it this way but I'm wondering if there are any side effects I haven't thought of: - Versions are space names - Create a new version by copying the space from the last version - Copying the space is done by exporting the xar, renaming the space to the new version, then importing the .xar to recreate the last version. Any changes in the new version shall not modify documents of the last version (incl. attachments) - Change 'DocumentNotFound' template of 'currentVersion' (in a way that needs investigation) that it redirects all page requests for the space 'currentVersion' to a configured version --- or --- - handle requests to 'currentVersion' in an upfront (Apache httpd) Proxy Server redirecting to a configured version Is this a reasonable approach to document multiple versions or do i miss something ? Any ideas welcome ! thanks Andreas ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [xwiki-users] Changing the link behind the logo
Hi Wouter,
maybe there are other ways but that's how I've done it:
Search in global.vm for the line:
and replace 'Main.WebHome' with 'YourSpace.WebHome'
Other option might be to leave global.vm as it is
and redirect from Main.WebHome to your location.
You'd need to insert this code on top of 'Main.WebHome':
{{velocity}}
#if (!$hasEdit)
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL("YourSpace.WebHome"))
#end
{{/velocity}}
enjoy

Re: [xwiki-users] Show-Hide Text Content
Hi Wouter,
mmm I think you need to use the {{html}} macro instead of {{script}}
And - if you plan to switch multiple boxes individually you should
replace occurrences of "DIV ID" with "idOfBox1" e.t.c.
or you might do it with inline styles and groups so you can avoid
cluttering your page with html:
(% id="woutersId" class="hidden" %)(((
Another box that gets hidden when clicked below
)))
(% onclick="toggleClass($('woutersId'), 'hidden')" %)(((
[[Show/Hide the other box>>#]]
)))
have fun

Re: [xwiki-users] User Interface
Hi Gerrit,
i can give you a partial anwer to your questions as I have also been
struggling to adapt look & feel of one of my sites.
I tried as much as possible not to change the code in the VM templates
as this requires access to the server and makes it harder to document
all the places and survive a version upgrade.
Basically I've created a page containing a velocity macro that contains
all the restrictions.
This page needs to be included in all pages where the restrictions shall
apply.
The restrictions are just css selectors to suppress visibility:
{{velocity}}
#if (!$hasEdit)
{{html clean="false"}}
#hierarchy {display:none;}
#document-title {display:none;}
#mainmenu .leftmenu {display: none;}
#contentmenu {display: none;}
{{/html}}
#set ($docextras= "[]")
#end
{{/velocity}}
No hierarchy, document-title, e.t.c. if you have no editing rights ,
e.g. you are not logged in.
However you need to include the page on all pages where the restricitons
shall apply:
{{include document="Main.Restrictions"/}}
You might have a look at the results at http://shept.org
enjoy

Re: [xwiki-users] xwiki.defaultweb?
Hi Stephanie, that's what I did to replace default Main.WebHome with another space of my choice: in xwiki.cfg set xwiki.defaultweb=MySpace then go to your skin directory. If its colibri the path should be something like /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/xwiki-shept/skins/colibri (of course a better solution is to copy colibri to another skin dir and use the copy - the process is documented somewhere in the xwiki docs) In the *.vm's there are unfortunately several hardcoded references to 'Main.WebHome' that need to be replaced. I found them with a grep Main.WebHome * from a linux command line In my XEM 2.633065 installation there where 3 occurrences in 2 files: global.vm and menuview.vm and replaced all occurrences 'Main.WebHome' with 'MySpace.WebHome' et voila - your wiki will come up with MySpace and you still have access to the Main space - but only if you point an explicit url to it. you can see it public at http://shept.org I think that's all there is to it. enjoy Andreas Am 01.06.2011 13:54, schrieb li...@yhmail.de: > Hello everyone, > > I wanted to ask if there are any news concerning the ?Changing the > default Space?issue?

Re: [xwiki-users] Crazy-bad security
Paul, actually XWiki offers quite some fine grained rights administration. Go to the XWiki administration page and then to 'rights' administration. There you should see a couple of 'Prevent unregistered users from ...' options. Prevent unregistered users from viewing pages, regardless of the page or space rightsno Prevent unregistered users from editing pages, regardless of the page or space rightsyes Require unregistered users to solve a captcha when posting a comment on a page yes (this is from XE 2.6. but I guess that hasn't changed since then ...) Actually I'd recommend not to overuse the 'rights' stuff and keep it as simple as possible. When you have pages that include other documents hunting for missing rights can get tricky ...

As for shept.org as an open source project I'm pretty fine with the current setup.

Re: [xwiki-users] Integration of my webapplication with xwiki.
Hi mohit, I think I have done something similar a while ago. Look at http://www.teamsched.com. The explanatory stuff is hosted on an xwiki that is identified by the http://www.teamsched.com/docs part of the url. The real application based on shept.org (spring, hibernate, e.t.c.) (when you press 'Gettings started') http://www.teamsched.com/app It works more or less seamless yet the level of integration of both apps is a little shaky. There are no user accounts handed over from one to the other app. That should be possible but I hesitated to invest the necessary effort to figure it out.
