Re: [xwiki-users] problem getting inline edit for pages with objects
Hi Regan,
the solution provided by Sergiu does work (I've used it a number of times
already).
You have to add the XWiki.SheetClass object to the page that is called by
the include (which in your case seems to be 'Projects.TestRequestClassSheet'
).
Are you sure you:
1. Added the object to the right page?
2. All your application's pages are in syntax 2?
3. You tried clicking on 'Edit' once on your test page (and not directly
on 'wiki' or 'wysiwyg')?
You can check out how this works in the latest version of the bulletin board
application:
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/BulletinBoardApplication
(look at BBCode.CategoryClassSheet)
Or by looking at the FAQ tutorial:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial#HCreatethePageDesignSheet
Hope this helps,
Guillaume

Hi,
I apologize in advance for the lengthy email. I am using XWiki
Enterprise 2.0.24043 now, after upgrading from 1.9.2 recently. I have
some custom classes created a year ago and I have tried to convert all
their pages to 2.0 syntax. There have been quite a few problems I have
been able to solve, but there is one that I am quite confused about.
I need the pages that have these class objects to default to inline
edit
mode since that is the only useful way for the users to enter the
data.
In the older (pre 2.0) version this happened automatically -- although
I
don't know why, it was like magic -- and things were fine. Now when
the
user clicks the edit menu it automatically goes to WYSIWYG (or wiki
depending on the user). I thought I could get around this by
redirecting
the edit to inline, I think I was able to do this in older versions of
xwiki. I have tried many versions of code like this:
{{velocity filter=none}}
## check for admin is so that I can still edit pages in wiki as
normal,
## but non admin users should get the inline version
#set($hasGlobalAdmin = $xwiki.hasAccessLevel(admin, $context.user,
XWiki.XWikiPreferences))
#if($context.action == 'edit' !$hasGlobalAdmin)
## for redirection, I tried a few different methods like
## $response.sendRedirect($doc.getURL('inline'))
## and this
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL($doc.name, 'inline'))
## tried with and without the stop
#stop
#else
{{include document=Projects.TestRequestClassSheet/}}
You must add an object of type XWiki.SheetClass to the
Projects.TestRequestClassSheet document. No need to do anything else.
#end
{{/velocity}}
but instead is does this crazy thing of sending the entire page to a
WYSIWYG editor (meaning the entire xwiki page with the top menus,
panels, everything) with the page I am trying to edit showing as if it
was inline but not actually editable. The URL in the browser doesn't
change at all.
However if I just choose the inline edit mode to start or type in the
url /xwiki/bin/inline/Projects/mynewtestrequest for example that
works
like it should.
I tried upgrading to XWiki Enterprise 2.0.3.24848 and the behavior
persists. I fear I am going to have to get into the java code to find
a
solution, which means a lot more work -- so I am appealing to the
group
to see if there is something easier that I am not seeing. It appears
to
me that the $redirect support has changed somehow.
TIA for your help!
Regan

Please let me know your views on this one If there is a work around to this. As Guillaume already hinted, the username/password for HTTP basic authentication are the same as the XWiki username/password you use to login to your XWiki using the web interface. To be more precise the XWiki REST authentication works in the following way (priority order): 1) If an authorization header is present the provided username/ password are checked using the XWiki auth service. As said before these credentials are the same of the ones you will use to login using the web interface. 2) If an authorization header is NOT present, but in the request there are session information about a previous login, then this information is used to authenticate the user. 3) If everything fails (neither HTTP basic auth headers nor session information are present), then the request is associated to the Guest user In all cases, XWiki auth components are used to perform authentication so, at a lower level, authentication works exactly as the one in the web interface, using the same usernames and passwords. Hope this helps. -Fabio ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki REST authentication
Hi Fabio Guillame, It was fairly simple after all. J My bad that I confused XWiki authorization with tomcat basic authorization which we would configure in the tomcat-users.xml. Also, if I am not wrong, I could set the host, port to null authscope to ANY_REALM in the following snippet (apache httpclient authentication methods): Credentials defaultcreds = new UsernamePasswordCredentials(username, password); client.getState().setCredentials(new AuthScope(myhost, 80, AuthScope.ANY_REALM), defaultcreds); As always, thank you for your detailed timely response Fabio Guillame.

[xwiki-users] declare sections in the page
Hello i saw some posts here for defining page sections. (http://n2.nabble.com/some-questions-concerning-editing-pages-more-specific-section-behaviour-XWiki-1-8M1-td2197026.html#a2197026) what i did and fail apparently was: have some tables in a page and i wanted to define each table as a section, so that when to edit, the user cand edit just the specific table he wants to. not the hole part. so i created for test 2 tables with titles: 1. section 1 ..the actual table 1.1 section 2 ..the actual table but the sections weren't created. Is there any documentation for this, please?

[xwiki-users] [ANN] New Top Level Project : XWiki Contrib
Hello all, We are happy to inform you a new Top Level Project as been created : XWiki Contrib. (see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Forge for a list of all Top Level Projects). As its name state, The *XWiki Contrib Project* provides hosting for projects related to XWiki. These projects are not part of the official XWiki distributions and are not maintained by the XWiki development team. The idea is that anyone with a project can be hosted in the XWiki Contrib project. XWiki Contrib can provide projects with: * A SVN directory in the XWiki repository * Issue tracking on XWiki's JIRA instance * Documentation pages on xwiki.org websites. To find out more about it and get the all the details, we encourage you to read the XWiki Contrib introduction at http://contrib.xwiki.org/ Now don't hesitate to request hosting for your project on the dev list or to bother us with any question related to this project. Thanks, Jerome, on behalf of the XWiki Development Team. ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [xwiki-users] [ANN] New Top Level Project : XWiki Contrib
Side note mainly for people working in the former SVN sandbox : The sandbox is now part of the XWiki Contrib project, which means your project has been moved. Likely under http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/sandbox/ if it has not been inactive for a too long period, under http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/retired/ otherwise. Four projects have been promoted directly in the projects directory (at http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/projects/ ) since they have been released already (in their case, they were available for download on code.xwiki.org ; note released could also mean a first working version is tagged in SVN). Those projects are : - xwiki-application-meetingmanager - xwiki-application-multipageexport - xwiki-application-recruitmentmanager - xwiki-macro-todo Jerome.
