Oktober 2015 17:38 An: users@xwiki.org Betreff: Re: [xwiki-users] xwiki as our Intranet Hi Rolf, for use case 2: actually I did not realize that the main wiki:Main.Activity page still uses my locally adapted "activity" macro ... that is why it worked for me, and not for you. So, it seems we need to get our hands dirty and modify the "activity" Macro: a) in the subwiki, go to the .../Main/Activity page b) go to "Edit" -> "Objects" c) click "Objects of type XWiki.WikiMacroClass d) this opens several text fields; the big field for "Macro code" contains, unsurprisingly, the code for the macro which makes sure we only see messages from the local wiki. Here we need to make some changes: d1) just at the start: {{velocity output=false}} ## add a line remembering the current wiki, so it looks instead like: {{velocity output=false}} #set($currentWiki = $xcontext.getDatabase()) ## d2) look for the code ## Always assume access to messages. For the rest of the documents, check access. #if ($pageName.matches(".*:XWiki[.][0-9a-z]{8}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{ 4}-[0-9a-z]{12}") || ($xwiki.hasAccessLevel('view', $xcontext.user, "${xcontext.database}:${pageName}") && !$iterationDocuments.contains($pageName))) insert five lines of code in between so it looks like: ## Always assume access to messages. For the rest of the documents, check access. #if ($pageName.matches(".*:XWiki[.][0-9a-z]{8}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{ 4}-[0-9a-z]{12}")) #set($myWiki = "xwiki") #else #set($myWiki = $currentWiki) #end #if ($pageName.matches(".*:XWiki[.][0-9a-z]{8}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{4}-[0-9a-z]{ 4}-[0-9a-z]{12}") || ($xwiki.hasAccessLevel('view', $xcontext.user, "${xcontext.database}:${pageName}") && !$iterationDocuments.contains($pageName))) what it does: prepares to set the "right" wiki/database: if it is a message, look it up in the main wiki (which knows all messages), for all other events, stay at the local wiki d3) look a few lines below for: #set ($discard = $subqueryParameters.addAll($filterParameters)) #set ($events= $xwiki.activitystream.searchEvents("$!whereClause", false, 0, 0, $subqueryParameters)) in between them insert a line actually setting the wiki to look up the event; it should looks like #set ($discard = $subqueryParameters.addAll($filterParameters)) #set ($discard = $xcontext.setDatabase($myWiki)) #set ($events= $xwiki.activitystream.searchEvents("$!whereClause", false, 0, 0, $subqueryParameters)) this actually sets the wiki to the one where the event is looked up. d4) at the very end replace: #end {{/velocity}} with: #end #set($discard = $xcontext.setDatabase($currentWiki)) {{/velocity}} this sets the "current wiki" back to the original wiki, just in case (I think XWiki does it for you, too, but I prefer to be polite and clean up after myself ;)) press "Save and View" If you see horrible, horrible error messages, something went wrong; to back to the object editor and try to find the missing " or ), or use the page history, to get back to the last version before the edit. If you do not see any error message ... you should see that nothing has changed, yet. That is because by default the activity stream only looks up events for the subwiki ... we need to change this, too, but that goes without wild coding Go to the "Dashboard", edit the page, and edit the Gadget "Activity stream" Find the input field "wikis", and type in "xwiki,mysubwiki" (replace mysubwiki with the name of the current wiki) Close the dialog to edit the gadget, save the dashboard, and it should work. hope it works this time.
