Re: [xwiki-users] Search subwikis from main wiki
Sorry, you are right, but I see a strange behavior for the search results popup which is shown while typing. It seems it has to do with the chosen search word or something. I created a subwiki where I have a space named Testspace and in there I have a doc Testpage. Typing test in the upper right search box on the main wiki shows no results found (or similar, I'm on German language). Typing testpage shows the page as a result on the search popup. It's the same when I'm in the test wiki, test won't show results, testpage shows results. Is there any minimum size of the search word the users have to be aware of? Sorry again if there is a misunderstanding from my side and thanks for feedback in advance. 2014-11-26 16:30 GMT+01:00 Thomas Mortagne thomas.morta...@xwiki.com: Well that's exactly what the default search is doing by default.

[xwiki-users] Theme not respected on login page
Hi all, I set up a subwiki where the content is restricted to registered users. Only global users (authenticated via LDAP from the main wiki) are allowed. I also set up a color theme and logo. Now when the subwiki is accessed you are automatically redirected to the login page but there the default xwiki theme and logo is used instead of my own. I have to change the permissions for XWiki/DefaultSkin and allow unregistered users and XWikiAllGroup to make the login page respect my theme settings. Is this by design or should I create a Jira bug report? BR, Dennis ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

On Mon, Nov 24, 2014 at 9:46 AM, Gerritjan Koekkoek gerritjankoekk...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm trying to understand the new SOLR search (i did not understand the old Lucene very well) My use-case is the following. We have a special FAQ application where the object has, amongst others, the following attributes: - Subject - Topic-group - Language - Question - Answer he default search returns page-title/name, but this is in our case a non-informational, generated by the system code. So instead of Page name we would like to show: Subject You have 3 options: (1) Use Velocity to output the value of the subject property in the FAQ title. See https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-blog/xwiki-platform-blog-ui/src/main/resources/Blog/BlogPostSheet.xml#L36 . (2) I doesn't make sense to have a separate String property to store the subject when you can store it in the document title. (3) Customize the entire search page just to change the way the search results are displayed As facets we would like to show Topic-group and Language, Default (on entering the page with search box) we would like to set the context-language as a search filter... So when reader is reading french the result only shows french FAQ (with a french subject title) if english only english. By checking and unchecking languages in the facets the user could extend or reduce the search. This is already the case with the default search. The context language is checked by default in the locale facet. See https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-search/xwiki-platform-search-solr/xwiki-platform-search-solr-ui/src/main/resources/Main/SolrSearchConfig.xml#L74 . A challenge is the topic field, this is a list with translation key. So if user is french-language the list will show french topics, but if he/she check english as well in facets things get complicated. We have a business-rule that the english collection of FAQ's is the baseline, and most comprehensive. The other languages are only translations of the same. So another languages can not have a question not translated. So my question is: How to define the search http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Solr+Search+Application#HForDevelopers http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/SolrSchema http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Solr+Search+Query+API http://lucene.apache.org/solr/ How to modify the output so page-title is no longer showing How to modify facets so only the two fields can be set See https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-faq/xwiki-platform-faq-ui/src/main/resources/FAQCode/FAQSearch.xml#L49 .

What you have in XE_WAR_HOME/WEB-INF/lib is loaded by Tomcat at

But you can install your jar as an extension using Extension Manager
as long as it's on some supported repository (which mean a Maven
repository or XWiki repository, see
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Repository+Application
for this last one) and you indicate your repository in
xwiki.properties.
Note that Extension Manager is not the best fit right now to test

Having been put off writing Java components a number of times I've
decided to really tackle the problem head on. I would greatly appreciate any
help in this.
I've been following the advice in
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents and I
have compiled a Jar identical to the Hello World example except that the
class and method names differ, hopefully consistently. I've placed the jar
in XE_WAR_HOME/WEB-INF/lib and written a page, which consists only of
{{velocity}}
$services.mycomponent.greet()
{{/velocity}}
The output when viewed is simple $services.alertdb.greet(), so nothing
seems to have happened. However, if I restart Tomcat (and then wait a minute
or so for XWiki to restart) the output is Hello, as desired.
So is a restart of Tomcat always required? This wasn't mentioned in the
guide. And since extensions can be added via the extension manager without a
restart, is there a sneaky trick to doing the same with my own components.
Also, is a restart necessary when I update the Jar, either with fixed
methods or modified interface?

Re: [xwiki-users] Getting user name with a Java Component
I wrote: What's the right way to get the current user from the execution context within a Java component? Thomas Mortagne replied: For what you need the simplest in a component is usually to use org.xwiki.bridge.DocumentAccessBridge component (from xwiki-platform-bridge module) until a proper user manager api is introduced. OK, so I should not use ExecutionContext at all? It looks the the approach you're suggesting is: 1) Inject a DocumentAccessBridge instead of an Execution, e.g.: @Inject private DocumentAccessBridge bridge; 2) Get a reference to the current user (According to http://maven.xwiki.org/site/docs/xwiki-javadoc-5.0.x/org/xwiki/bridge/DocumentAccessBridge.html which might be out of date but I can't find a more recent API doc) DocumentReference userDoc = bridge.getCurrentUserReference(); 3) Presumably the document reference captures the full location of the user's profile page. The DocumentReference API doesn't appear to have a page name accessor, so presumably to extract the user name I need to pull it out of userDoc.toString(). Is this right? Conceptually I find this less intuitive than using a context object, so it's a pity if that's been deprecated.

[xwiki-users] Handling exceptions from components
What's the preferred way to deal with errors occuring in Java components? Is it OK to throw an exception from within the component, and can this be caught within the Velocity or Groovy code that calls it? ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

The DocumentReference API doesn't appear to have a page name accessor, so presumably to extract the user name I need to pull it out of userDoc.toString(). What information do you need precisely? The user alias (what the user uses to log in)? Or the user pretty name? The user alias is the name of the user profile document. bridge.getCurrentUserReference().getName() For the pretty name you need to get the value of the first_name and last_name properties from the user profile document for which you have the reference: the user reference. bridge.getProperty... Hope this helps, Marius Is this right? Conceptually I find this less intuitive than using a context object, so it's a pity if that's been deprecated.
