Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki Enterprise Manager 4.5.1: Editing a user profile
Thank you for the explanation, Marius. So, if I'm installing Xwiki on a system that does not have Internet access, should I simply ignore this message? Or can I place the required file(s) in a local directory and point Xwiki to that directory? Thank you.

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki Enterprise Manager 4.5.1: Editing a user profile
I think that the simplest solution in my scenario is to edit the xwiki.properties file and leave the extension.repositories property empty, as suggested. As long as the data is migrated properly to the new release, I don't think that I need to run the distribution wizard. What does the Distribution Wizard do? It seems that it's mostly used for migrating extensions, but I'm not sure what else it does. Thank you.

If you don't plan to use the distribution wizard (you will need to cancel it the first time) or extension manager then you can ignore it or even better make sure XWiki does not try to access those repositories by setting extension.repositories= in WEB-INF/xwiki.properties. This will tell XWiki there is no repositories, not even the default ones. XWiki can also support a repository you would have on your side but the hard part would be to get the required files, we are not really talking about a few files to put in some folder. The simplest would be to mirror http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/ and that's only if you plan to install nothing else than XAR extensions release by the XWiki team or by official contrib on Maven (it's enough for Distribution Wyzard for example). The next level would be to mirror the Nexus[1] repository on http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/content/groups/public/ (best probably being to use Nexus itself for that). Mirroring http://extension.xwiki.org would be quite complex, XWiki access it using REST, it require a running instance of XWiki Repository[2] and most of all there is no tool right now do the synchronization (even if that should not be too hard with a script). And I wouldn't really recommend mirroring any of the xwiki servers since that's going going to be expensive for us and if we find people doing this we will need to take some measures to forbid it (as they did on maven central).

[xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.5 - Group Admin page not displayed properly
Hello I upgraded Xwiki Enterprise from 4.5-milestone-1 to 4.5 today. When I click on the Add new group button in the Administration: Groups page, the resulting page contains a lot of empty space that preceeds the actual page. So, I have to scroll down a lot to actually see the page (including the header). Also, the Create new group field and the related buttons appear before the page header. I think that I had noticed this in 4.5-M1 also. Other pages are being displayed properly so far, but I'm not sure whether this is the only page on which this is happening. I have noticed this in Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 18.0.2. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Thank you.

[xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.4: Customizing Velocity macros
Hello
I'm using XWiki Enterprise 4.4 and I'm customizing the XWiki skin by using the
Colibri skin a as a base. Looking through the menuview.vm Velocity template, I
found out that the #xwikitopmenuentry macro is being used generate the HTML for
the ADD, XWIKI, Space and Page menus. I have added a Macros
attribute to the XWikiSkins class, created a copy of macros.vm into the
/xwiki/skins/myskin/templates, and set the Macros attribute to
#renderTemplate('templates/macros.vm'). I then wrote a new Velocity macro
inside this file (called #xwikitopmenuentry2) and modified the menuview.vm
file to call #xwikitopmenuentry2 but I still see the old code being generated.
So, it doesn't seem that I'm doing this the right way. Any idea how I can do
this?
Thank you.

[xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.4: Using Velocity variables inside a custom CSS file
Hello
I have created a custom CSS file (/xwiki/skins/myskin/css/mystyle.css) and I
created a Velocity template to reference this css file
(/xwiki/skins/myskin/templates/customcss.vm). Inside the Velocity template, I
have the line
link rel=stylesheet href=$xwiki.getSkinFile('css/mystyle.css')/
and it works fine.
Now I want to able to use the $theme variable inside my CSS file to use
attributes like $theme.pageBackgroundColor and $theme.textColor;. However, I
can't seem to get the theme variable to be passed into the CSS file. All
references to these attributes return a null value inside the CSS file.
In the customcss.vm file, I added the line $theme.menuLinkColor for debugging
purposes and it returns a non-null value. So, I know that the value of this
variable is available within the Velocity template.
Does anyone know how I can do this?
Thank you.

You should also put this at the start of your CSS file:

Re: [xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.4: Custom skin for a space
I figured out how to do it and I'm responding just to provide the solution, in
case someone is trying to do the same thing. In my template page, using the
inline editor, I set the Base Skin field to myskin, which is the name of the
skin directory that created inside /xwiki/skins. Then in the Header field, I
used either $xwiki.renderTemplate('templates/header.vm') or
#renderTemplate('templates/header.vm') - both of them work.

and I copied my custom code into the header.vm file. Now, I want to modify

You could use http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/DebugSkinto
see the part you want to change in what template is defined.
Also take a look at the current style for Colibri

So, I would like to try to override a skin. Regarding the Toucan

I finally understood how to use class properties to override the skin.
I have been able to attached a logo to the skin document and reference it.
Now I'm trying to use custom CSS files and it doesn't seem practical
to attach CSS files to the skin document. So, here's what I would like to do:
1. Upload my CSS files to the server (ex. to /xwiki/skins/myskin/) 1.
Use class properties to override various Velocity templates 2.
Reference the CSS files from the inside the Velocity templates that I
will write using the inline editor
Question: How can I reference them from within the Velocity template?

I finally understood how to use class properties to override the skin. I have been able to attached a logo to the skin document and reference it. Now I'm trying to use custom CSS files and it doesn't seem practical to attach CSS files to the skin document. So, here's what I would like to do: 1. Upload my CSS files to the server (ex. to /xwiki/skins/myskin/) 1. Use class properties to override various Velocity templates 2. Reference the CSS files from the inside the Velocity templates that I will write using the inline editor Question: How can I reference them from within the Velocity template? Thank you.

Re: [xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.4: Custom skin for a space
Hello again I have created a templates directory inside my custom skin directory (i.e. /xwiki/skins/myskin/templates), I created a file called header.vm inside it, and I copied my custom code into the header.vm file. Now, I want to modify the Header attribute in my skin page (using the inline editor) so that it simply contains an import or include statement that references the file /xwiki/skins/myskin/templates/header.vm file. I think that I saw this somewhere but I can't find it now. I have made several attempts but I can't find the right statement. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thank you.

XWiki skins are much more than just some css and js files, writing a full skin from scratch requires quite a lot of work. Could someone please tell me how I can create a custom skin? I don't mind doing it either through web interface or by editing files directly on the server. To solve your issue you have 2 options from my point of view: 1) If you want to have different look for each space, you should use the ColorTheme application (bundled by default), and create custom themes which can be applied on a per space basis. This is the easiest way of achieving what you want. For more info, look http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Color+Theme+Appli cation 2) You can follow the tutorial on Overriding a skin and override the parts which you want to change. This approach is a little bit harder. Hope it will help Regards, Sorin B. Thank you.

[xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.4 doesn't run on Apache Geronimo 3.0
Hello
I have deployed Xwiki Enterprise 4.4 on Apache Geronimo 3.0 and I've noticed
that the logging error that was preventing Xwiki Enterprise 4.3 from starting
has disappeared and the application now starts. Thank you for resolving the
issue (XCOMMONS-315). However, exceptions are still being generated and I
can't get Xwiki to run properly. Once I get it running, I can look into the
logging feature at some point.
This time, I'm getting a chain of exceptions that end with the following:

After doing some research, I discovered that the org.w3c.dom.ElementTraversal
class is in the xml-apis-1.4.01.jar file which is included in Xwiki
Enterprise's lib directory. So, I can't figure out why it's not finding the
class. I tried copy the JAR files xml-apis-1.4.01.jar and
xml-apis-ext-1.3.04.jar into {geronimo_home}\lib\endorsed but this prevented
Geronimo from starting up. So, I then moved the files into
{garonimo_home}\var\shared\lib but the exceptions are still appearing (the
files seem to be ignored).
I have also tried adding the dep:inverse-classloading/ tag to the
geronimo-web.xml file but this didn't help.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you.

[xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.3 fails to start on Apache Geronimo 3.0
Hello I am interested in running Xwiki Enterprise using the WAR file on an Apache Geronimo 3.0 server. I have been trying to do so for about two weeks now but haven't been able to start Xwiki successfully I initially tried with Xwiki Enterprise 4.2 and then with 4.3 but with no success. Here are the steps that I have performed in my most recent attempt: 1) Installed a MySQL server, created an xwiki database, defined an xwiki user (with password xwiki), and granted the user all permissions to the database. I am able to successful connect to the xwiki database using a database client. 2) Downloaded and extracted the Apache Geronimo 3.0.0 ZIP file 3) Placed the dependency JAR files in the appropriate directories inside the Geronimo repository directory. 4) Created a geronimo-web.xml file and copied-and-pasted the complete sample file contents provided at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationGeronimo. I updated the version numbers in geronimo-web.xml file to match the versions of the JAR files that I placed in the repository. 5) Defined a JDBC datasource in Geronimo using the procedure described in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationGeronimo 6) Downloaded the XWiki 4.3 WAR file and deployed it on the Geronimo server (specifying the customized geronimo-web.xml file on the deployment page). The deployment was successful. 7) Modified the hibernate.cfg.xml file by commenting out the default database configuration and specifying the appropriate parameters for the MySQL database (which is what I'm using). 8) Copied the modified geronimo-web.xml file into Xwiki's WEB-INF folder. 9) When I tried to start the XWiki application, the following errors were generated in the log file: 2012-12-06 16:27:01,000 INFO [KernelContextGBean] bound gbean default/xwiki43/1354828503390/war?J2EEApplication=null,WebModule=default/xwiki43/1354828503390/war,j2eeType=ValidatorFactory,name=ValidatorFactory at name jca:/default/xwiki43/ValidatorFactory/ValidatorFactory 2012-12-06 16:27:10,000 ERROR [[/xwiki43]] Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class org.xwiki.container.servlet.XWikiServletContextListener java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to find the Observation Manager component at org.xwiki.container.servlet.XWikiServletContextListener.contextInitialized(XWikiServletContextListener.java:101) ... at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: org.xwiki.component.manager.ComponentLookupException: Failed to lookup component [org.xwiki.observation.internal.DefaultObservationManager] identifier by [role = [interface org.xwiki.observation.ObservationManager] hint = [default]] at org.xwiki.component.embed.EmbeddableComponentManager.getComponentInstance(EmbeddableComponentManager.java:348) at org.xwiki.component.embed.EmbeddableComponentManager.getInstance(EmbeddableComponentManager.java:155) at org.xwiki.container.servlet.XWikiServletContextListener.contextInitialized(XWikiServletContextListener.java:99) ... 82 more Caused by: org.xwiki.component.phase.InitializationException: Failed to lookup Event Listeners at org.xwiki.observation.internal.DefaultObservationManager.initialize(DefaultObservationManager.java:139) at org.xwiki.component.embed.InitializableLifecycleHandler.handle(InitializableLifecycleHandler.java:39) at org.xwiki.component.embed.EmbeddableComponentManager.createInstance(EmbeddableComponentManager.java:323) at org.xwiki.component.embed.EmbeddableComponentManager.getComponentInstance(EmbeddableComponentManager.java:378) at org.xwiki.component.embed.EmbeddableComponentManager.getComponentInstance(EmbeddableComponentManager.java:346) ... 84 more Caused by: org.xwiki.component.manager.ComponentLookupException: Failed to lookup component [role = [interface org.xwiki.observation.EventListener] hint = [LogbackEventGenerator]] at org.xwiki.component.embed.EmbeddableComponentManager.getInstanceMap(EmbeddableComponentManager.java:187) at org.xwiki.component.embed.EmbeddableComponentManager.getInstanceList(EmbeddableComponentManager.java:169) at org.xwiki.observation.internal.DefaultObservationManager.initialize(DefaultObservationManager.java:135) ... 88 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.ops4j.pax.logging.slf4j.Slf4jLoggerFactory cannot be cast to ch.qos.logback.classic.LoggerContext at org.xwiki.logging.logback.internal.LogbackUtils.getLoggerContext(LogbackUtils.java:50) at org.xwiki.logging.logback.internal.LogbackUtils.getRootLogger(LogbackUtils.java:58) at org.xwiki.logging.logback.internal.LogbackEventGenerator.initialize(LogbackEventGenerator.java:96) at org.xwiki.component.embed.InitializableLifecycleHandler.handle(InitializableLifecycleHandler.java:39) at

Re: [xwiki-users] Xwiki Enterprise 4.3 fails to start on Apache Geronimo 3.0
I believe that Geronimo uses Log4j for logging. Aside from configuring Log4j to be used by a Java web application that I wrote, I've never implemented a log manager before so I don't know much about loggers. I'll look into it. Thank you.

But as Vincent said you will get a degraded XWiki so the best in your case is to make sure Geronimo is letting XWiki use logback. Either that or provide an XWiki log manager implementation for whatever log system Geronimo (i.e. convert https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-commons/tree/master/xwiki-commons-core/xwiki-commons-logging/xwiki-commons-logging-logbackto a Geronimo version) is using which would be even nicer ;) Thank you.
