Re: [xwiki-users] 4-byte UTF and XWiki (MySQL utf8mb4 encoding)
I have changed my MySQL database columns to support utf8mb4 (4-byte unicode), and I can render chinese characters etc correctly now. When I upgrade my XWiki to a newer version in the future, will this cause issues in the upgrade?

Re: [xwiki-users] 4-byte UTF and XWiki (MySQL utf8mb4 encoding)
Some more information: On my Mac, when I try to set up XWiki with MySQL, I ran the following: # Install mysql and start brew update brew install mysql mysql.server start # Now I can connect as "mysql -uroot" # Create a new MySQL database for XWiki # see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationMySQL mysql -u root -e "create database xwiki default character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_unicode_ci" mysql -u root -e "grant all privileges on *.* to xwiki@localhost identified by 'xwiki'" # Configure hibernate.cfg.xml # This is only the mysql section jdbc:mysql://localhost/xwiki xwiki xwiki com.mysql.jdbc.Driver org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5InnoDBDialect true UTF-8 true 20 Now when I start XWiki, I get the error: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLSyntaxErrorException: Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535. This includes storage overhead, check the manual. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs It looks like whatever creates the XWiki tables is not handling utf8mb4 (see also https://mathiasbynens.be/notes/mysql-utf8mb4 ).

[xwiki-users] 4-byte UTF and XWiki (MySQL utf8mb4 encoding)
I have an XWiki installation, and I noticed that emoji's were not getting saved correctly and were rendering as question marks in XWiki. This is caused by MySQL's default encoding which is "utf8" and not "utf8mb4" (4-byte UTF to store the full unicode character set) To fix this, I am in the process of converting all my MySQL database tables into utf8mb4 encoding, which is turning out to be quite a lot of manual work. When XWiki creates the database tables for MySQL, can it use utf8mb4 encoding by default? Is this something I could open a bug request for? ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[xwiki-users] Moving an XWiki page under source control
Hi For my XWiki deployment, I need the search results to be customized. I would like to move the contents of the search results page under source control, so that I can use our continuous deployment system. What is the best way to do this? I've tried to move the search result page (and its macros) to a skin file and include a #template(filename) link in the wiki page — but I have a feeling this may not be a good way to do it. I've noticed some files under webapps/resources/uicomponents/ — can I add my files there? If I did, how do I let the UI know that it should read a particular file? If there is some XWiki documentation around this, could you point me to it please? I was not able to find anything around that. Thanks in advance Debajit ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[xwiki-users] "XWiki is initializing" message
I am in the process of writing an extension for XWiki. Each time I make some code changes, and then refresh my local instance of XWiki I see the message "XWiki is initializing..." which takes some time to finish. For small code changes, I feel like this "initialization" step slows down my development. What exactly is happening in this "XWiki is initializing..." step, and what could I do to avoid this step entirely, so that I can work faster on my extension? ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [xwiki-users] ScriptService issue --- Cannot access @Named ScriptService object through $services object
Thanks for the suggestion, that worked.
Changing the @Inject to use the @Role (interface) instead of the @Component
(the concrete class) fixed the issue :) Thanks for your help :)
Out of curiosity, how does the Component manager know which concrete
implementation to pick? Since I have only one component, does it
automatically use that for the @Inject?

Thanks for the clarification, Vincent. —Debajit Date: Sun, 10 May 2015 11:02:02 +0200 From: vinc...@massol.net To: users@xwiki.org CC: deba...@outlook.com Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Configuration setting to force reading from database? This would mean never using the document cache when in a cluster which would cause severe performances drop (making xwiki unusable). The problem is that we have only a single API to get a document whereas we would need 2 for your use case:* one to get a readonly document (from the cache)* one to get an editable document (always from the DB) That could be interesting to implement in the future, you could create a jira issue about this if you’re interested.

[xwiki-users] Slow cache sync with JGroups / S3 in an EC2 cluster
We have deployed XWiki over a two-node EC2 cluster. We are using JGroups over S3 for cluster messaging as multicast does not work in EC2. I have noticed that if I edit a page on host A, and then refresh the same page from host B, it shows stale content — it takes up to a minute for the caches to sync. Is this something others have observed when running XWiki over multiple hosts? (I'm wondering if this is a JGroups/S3 issue)For people who are running XWiki in a cluster, how long does it typically take for changes made from one machine to show up in another?Are there any recommendations on how to speed up cache-sync time between XWiki hosts on a cluster? Also, in a cluster, is the default XWiki cache a distributed cache? Or is the same cache content replicated across all nodes in a cluster? ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[xwiki-users] Moving a page and its hierarchy
I have a page hierarchy of the following form: + Parent1- Child1- Child2- Child2 Where one parent page has three children pages. I would like to move this entire hierarchy rooted at Parent1 to another space. If I rename Parent1, then only Parent1 gets moved to the new space, and not its children. Is there a way to move the entire hierarchy of pages (parent page and all its child pages) to another space? ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [xwiki-users] Flagging a page in XWiki?
Do you mean bookmarking the page, watching the page, or do you mean tagging a page, or something else? I was referring to flagging a page for having content that, say, exposes secure information (like login credentials or similar) which should not be exposed to the public or any content that is irrelevant or inappropriate. The general idea is that once a page is flagged, an email goes out to the owners / moderators with a link to the page, and that they can either remove the content or notify the authors to update the page in some way.

[xwiki-users] How to hide Click here to force editing link for restricted pages?
When an unauthorized user visits a restricted page, they see the message Click here to force editing — do users need to belong to a particular group to see this message? What specifically is the intent behind this feature? (I'm curious as it appears to allow other users to, in a way, bypass the security mechanism).
