Hi Vincent,

Sorry for the delay. Let me see if I've well understood what do you 
would like.


A standard XWiki Enterprise installation doesn't include any help file 
but a link to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Documentation in 
the top button bar.


The default set of XWiki pages in the *.xar includes a Panels.SyntaxHelp 
document that is displayed while editing. This same panel includes a 
link to what you call the "official syntax guide" at 
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/UserGuide/XWikiSyntax.


In some installations I also found a Panels.XWikiSyntax what I am 
guessing is a deprecated version of the official syntax guide, isn't it?


The point will be to find how to synchronize the contents of 
Panels.SyntaxHelp with the official syntax guide. Is it the objective?



BTW, I don't find any JIRA XE open issue relate with help. I found at 
least two XWIKI related:


http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-206
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1500

As XWIKI-206 (add support for live syntax helpers) I think is far beyond 
the scope of the present discussion, I think that only to follow 
XWIKI-1500 could make sense here. Couldn't it?


Please, accept my apologies if I saying some stupid thing, but I am 
still trying to understand how JIRA, the mailing lists and the builds 
integrate the development system. Thanks for your patience.


All the best,

Ricardo

It's just not implemented yet. I have wanted to fix this for a long  
time but have never actually taken the time to  do it. I'd like this  
too.

I think that's because that's the way RCS works and we're using RCS  
internally.

[xwiki-users] Why do version numbers increment when nothing has changed in a save?

[Andreas]

Hi,

When I click edit on a XWiki page and "Save and View" or "Save and
Continue", without making any changes, a new version number is
created.  This is contrary to existing conventions in SVN, which will
intelligently check whether there are any modifications that would
warrant a new version number.  Is this a fundamental different view of
the XWiki development team or is it a technical difficulty or simply
something that has not been implemented yet?


Also, why is the first version of a document 1.1 and not 1.0?

Thanks,

That's a nice trick used a lot in TWiki, plugins are based on this.
Related to this there's a nice feature in TWiki I'd like to see in
XWiki: section import. You can declare a section in a page and then
only import that section of a page in another one. In this case it's
really useful because you don't have to use multiple pages for each
five lines of code to insert. In your plugin code page you create a
page section for each plugin function. Then you can import those
sections in your user pages. All code in one tidy place.

In XWiki that could bedone with something like this:

The declaration part:

Some text in a page

{section: MyFirstPageSection}
some text in the section
{section: MyFirstPageSection}

Page continues...

The include part:
#includeTopic("Dev.ScriptPage|MyFirstPageSection")

It must be using some privileged api which require programming rights.  
So just save it with a user having programming rights and it should be  
fine.

[xwiki-users] $xwiki.calendar.getHTMLCalendar

[Esbach, Brandon]

Hi all,
Having trouble finding documentation on this, there is no mention in the
xwiki api documentation (none that I can find at least)

The idea is to add a tootip of the description field to the item's entry
so that a user can look at the calendar, hover over a users' name and
get the description as a tooltip.  
Is there any simple way to add the description (or any field from the
object) to the title?

Something like $xwiki.calendar.calendarParams.put("attribute",
"title=description")

Re: [xwiki-users] Export/Import/Backups

[goldring, richard]

Vincent,
 
The XAR was exported from the same xwiki-enterprise-1.1-milestone-3 version
of our xwik, so it should be ok, but is unreadable.
 
It's great having the Import/Export facility in XWiki but a separate
Backup/Restore facility based on the code behind the Import/Export facility
would be good ... something like
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Administrators+Guide#Administrat
orsGuide-dataandBackups
  (daily backups, etc) rather than having to backup
via a database backup utility, and if you didn't have to attach an XAR file
to import it as a backup you wouldn't have the constraints of attaching a
file and importing/restoring would be more efficient.
 
Being able to backup and restore data easily is very important to my
organisation ... most organisations.
 
Thanks,
 
Richard

Hi,

I had a problem with importing an XAR running
xwiki-enterprise-1.1-milestone-3  and my WinZip program didn't recognise the
XAR as zipped file like other XAR files. Is this a known problem?

You say you have a XAR that you cannot import in XE 1.1.M3. So the question
is: where did you get this XAR from?

Has it been fixed in the latest releases? Is there anyway to recover the
data in this 'corrupted' XAR?

Let's first understand your problem.

 
Could the Import/Export facility be develop to provide proper backups (as
Confluence does) so you don't have to attach an XAR file to restore as a
backup?

Could you describe a bit more what you call a "poper backup". I haven't used
confluence for a while and I don't recall how it does it (I thought it was
generating a zip containing XML files much like what xwiki does).

BTW for large databases we don't recommend using XARs (they should be
reserved for applications import/exports I think) since attaching tens of MB
isn't a good solution. For large DBs we recommend backuping the DB using the
standard DB backup tools.

If you have some ideas for improving backups please let us know. That'd be
cool.

Thanks

[xwiki-users] Xwiki install: Websphere 6.1 & SQLserver

[david bessire]

Hello,

i've gotten my xwiki install running on Websphere 6.1 & SQLserver & just wanted 
to thank the gentleman that helpfully added his sql server configuration 
instructions to the site.  Seems like the biggest change was converting VARCHAR 
columns> 8000 characters to TEXT columns, if i recall correctly.

i still get two exceptions on startup, but they don't prevent using the wiki:
   a. Websphere still complains that it can't find EnumerateTei class file in 
the struts jar.  (It legitimately doesn't appear to be there.)
   b. Websphere complains about a url mapping clash for three url mappings in 
web.xml.

xwiki is quite nice.  i particularly like the Eclipse integration feature.  
Thanks for getting my boss off my back!

Regards,
david bessire

It depends how you configured HSQLDB. AFAIK xwiki configures it by  
default to store to files and not in memory... Now it probably has a  
cache for performance reasons but several weeks of data loss looks  
like another issue. I'd recommend talking to the HSQLDB guys on their  
forums/mailing list. They're the best to know how to fix this I think.


We also recommend making regular backups of your database same as you  
would backup any of your personal files. For HSQLDB it's especially  
easy since you just have to save a directory. I know, it's too late  
now for you but if that can help others...


Thanks

Hi Richard,

Hi,

You say you have a XAR that you cannot import in XE 1.1.M3. So the  
question is: where did you get this XAR from?
Has it been fixed in the latest releases? Is there anyway to recover  
the data in this 'corrupted' XAR?

Let's first understand your problem.


Could the Import/Export facility be develop to provide proper  
backups (as Confluence does) so you don't have to attach an XAR file  
to restore as a backup?
Could you describe a bit more what you call a "poper backup". I  
haven't used confluence for a while and I don't recall how it does it  
(I thought it was generating a zip containing XML files much like what  
xwiki does).


BTW for large databases we don't recommend using XARs (they should be  
reserved for applications import/exports I think) since attaching tens  
of MB isn't a good solution. For large DBs we recommend backuping the  
DB using the standard DB backup tools.


If you have some ideas for improving backups please let us know.  
That'd be cool.


Thanks

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki scripting for end user (not Groovy)

[Guillaume Lerouge]

Yep,
about that the simplest thing to do is to put all your development pages in
a /view/Dev/ space, and then use #includeTopic("Dev.ScriptPage") to display
them in usual content-only wiki pages while preserving the ability to use
the WYSIWYG editor for basic users...

Once you do this the WYSIWYG editor starts becoming useful again... be sure
to use the latest XWiki version too since it usually has had more bugs
corrected :-)

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki scripting for end user (not Groovy)

[BOUSQUET Jeremie]

Hello *,

 

I quite agree with all that's been said in this topic about usability. I
must say also as old 0.9 versions user, that usability,
user-friendliness, have been considerably improved since these old
versions, thanks to xwiki great team ;-) So I believe this will continue
to evolve and be better and better with new releases.

 

About scripting : in my team we had "basic" end-users (not quite
participative to start with), and 2 admins (including me). As admins we
added much dynamic features in many pages, scripting, groovy, HTML, SQL
requests and so on ... Now end-users are much more participative, and
problem is that :

- we broke possibility of using WYSIWYG editor on these highly
dynamic pages

- for end-users, editing these kind of pages is an awful
experience, because it's not human-readable anymore (accepting
developers are not completely human ;) ).

In my opinion with XWiki architecture it should be strongly advised to
separate "pure content" pages and dynamic or complex pages, using macros
for example. It's a good development practice anyway, but you might not
think about it when you start working on a wiki site.

 

Anyway I don't regret using XWiki because it's a great wiki IMO, and I
really appreciate the way it evolves

people from other OW2 projects such as eXo too.

Please let us know whether you'd be interested to attend the conference on
the dedicated XWiki Facebook Event page at
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=14478490493
.


You can check out XWiki's booth location on the floor plan (available on
