I've already used this instructions to shorten a bit URLs. but I we do feel
confortable with the /bin part of the URL so far... until I make a mistake and
distribute a wrong address in printed material. Thus: I need to find a solution
for a single, at least by now, URL. So, please, allow me to give you some more
details:
1) Some time ago, playing with the instructions so shorten URL, we had a bad
time with our plain old 2.4.30451 server. At that moment, we felt confortable
with URLs like http://www.idisantiago.es/bin/ICT/CSS2, thus we sticked to that
configurations.
2) Some weeks ago I distribute by mistake a wrong URL: it doesn't include the
/bin part of the URL: this is the mistaken address:
http://www.idisantiago.es/BIS2013.
3) By browsing, googling and stuff, I finally understood how to redirect all
requests throwing a 302 error, the referenced above among them, to the right
address http://www.idisantiago.es/bin/BIS2013: nothing fancy, just a simple
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL("BIS2013.WebHome")) in
Main.DocumentDoesNotExist.
4) This solution works fine, but it applies to only to the wrong /BIS2013
address, but to any other URL that doesn't include the struts action. Thus, for
instance, all these addresses are redirected to the same place:
http://www.idisantiago.es/dummy
http://www.idisantiago.es/bread
http://www.idisantiago.es/milk
http://www.idisantiago.es/chocolate
All of then are redirected to
http://www.idisantiago.es/bin/BIS2013
5) While reading the conversation between client and server for this request, I
see that the first piece of the dialogue includes something like this...
Request URL:http://www.idisantiago.es/chocolate
Request Method:GET
Status Code:302 Moved Temporarily
6) And from this I figure out that it could be possible that, once the server
answers the client and says: hei! .../chocolate doesn't exist! I'll invite you
to make a new call and retrive Main.DocumentDoesNotExist and it includes
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL("BIS2013.WebHome")), there must be any way
of capturing and using the requested URL in an Velocity #if() structure.
Something like this...
#if(wrong requested URL is /chocolate)
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL("BIS2013.WebHome"))
#else
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL("ICT.WebHome"))
#end
Beyond finding a the solution for this single use case, I'm imaging a database
of requested URLs being matched to a set of "valid" ones "the TinyURL way"! :-)
Please, forgive me if this is complete no sense! Any idea, or directly call me
stupid if this has no sense at all, we'll be extremely welcome!
Thanks once again,
Ricardo

Re: [xwiki-users] Sub wiki delete of only sub-wiki user deleted all pages in XWiki space
Marius Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I imagine the AllDocs feature depends on code which is in the XWiki space as no documents are displayed, deleted or otherwise. However, I used the macros you suggested and was able to restore all the docs in the XWiki which had been deleted. Thanks very much for your swift and very helpful response :-) (PS I definitely did not delete the space) -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Sub-wiki-delete-of-only-sub-wiki-user-deleted-all-pages-in-XWiki-space-tp7584847p7584855.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
