[xwiki-users] 6.1rc1 issue

2014-07-06 Thread mctozzy
Is there a typo in the version number of the deb package list for the 
latest 6.1 release?  The version is listed as 6.1~rc+1 instead of 
6.1+rc+1, a consequence of which it's lower than the milestone dev 
releases. (I had to do a 'downgrade' to get it to install)

Re: [xwiki-users] Multiple problems with PDF export!

2014-05-29 Thread mctozzy




* Bold face markup is lost on export.
Hmm... what could account for this difference - perhaps choice of font 
for PDF... I did change it to san serif. Maybe there is an issue with 
selecting the bold version of the font at export time.
* Export of a slab of plain text wrapped in {{{ }}} loses newlines on 
export.
To clarify... ##{{{ }}## was giving trouble. I removed the ##, it 
then worked ok then, but I also had to make sure the blank lines had a 
couple of blank spaces for the monospace to actually not end prematurely.

* Box macro lost on export.
Actually I don't even get a line drawn around in the form  of a box 
outline in web view...just the shading. (And nothing at all in pdf) So 
something not quite right...need to check if something got broke in my 
custom skin css

[xwiki-users] Multiple problems with PDF export!

Arghh! This is a bit disappointing - the PDF exporter seems a bit 
underbaked?

Re: [xwiki-users] Ending tables??

2014-05-21 Thread mctozzy
Hmm... well I'm not getting that behaviour. It's as if something buggy 
is going on. This is with V5.4.4


The problem is not ending the table per se, it's getting a blank line to 
render between the table and the next paragraph?

In other words, you just need one **empty** line. It's enough to leave
a single space on the line after the table and it will be considered
as part of the last table cell, and so the next paragraph. Remove the
whitespace and you should be fine.

Hope this helps,
Marius

In both examples only one blank line gets rendered between.

[xwiki-users] User names may not contain periods

2014-05-11 Thread mctozzy
Why does this restriction exist?  It makes it difficult to map through 
to LDAP if we can't map to AD/LDAP username field that contain periods, 
such as format of firstname.lastname which is quite common. Also, it 
is possible to authenticate to xwiki using email address and password 
rather than user id and password?

Re: [xwiki-users] User names may not contain periods

2014-05-11 Thread mctozzy
I thought that may have been the case...surely there can't be that many 
places in the code where the user id text is validated? (And if there is 
a period then can it not be held internally in escaped syntax?)


In any case, how do we address the consequential issues of this 
constraint on things like ldap as per the rest of my msg?


On 12/05/2014 11:22 AM, Sergiu Dumitriu wrote:

For legacy reasons. A long time ago, having dots in document names was
not really working, since a dot separates the document's space and name.
Plus the fact that users are just documents in the wiki.

This restriction is no longer relevant, except that there's a lot of
code that needs to be revisited to remove this restriction.

See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Model+Module

If you write R12.0.1.WebHome” there’s indeed an ambiguity and in this case 
XWiki will take the last dot as the space separator and thus it would work fine.

However, it’s better to write:

[[HomeR12\.01.WebHome]]


Any other problems you can foresee? Are we going to get ourselves into
trouble doing this? Really would prefer to use periods, but if not,
what symbol is safe, such as a hyphen?

It should work fine and if you find some issue please raise them and they’ll be 
fixed quickly. We want to support any character in space and page names.

[xwiki-users] The skin of the login form

2014-05-06 Thread mctozzy

XWiki 5.4.4

I have a 'locked down' main wiki (i.e. no unauthenticated guest access) 
that has a custom skin and color theme. The login form though has a 
different skin from the wiki itself!


I was thinking this was something to do with a missing right 
somewhere... did try granting view rights on the Skin document to the 
unregistered user but that didnt seem to help.


There is a JIRA for something similar - 
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/CHRONO-274


So what do I need to do so that it uses the correct skin?

It turned out that what I had to do was grant the View right to the 
unregistered user on both:

* The XWiki space
* The ColorThemes space

But leave the right off at the Wiki level. This seems to enforce 
authentication still being required.

Re: [xwiki-users] The skin of the login form

2014-05-06 Thread mctozzy
... and ... because I had explicitly granted View right to the 
unregistered user on those two spaces, I had to do the same for the 
XWikiAllGroup too, even though that group had the View right at the wiki 
level. Otherwise as soon as ordinary user logged in, he lost colors and 
skin!


I think this is because of this rule in the Security Module:

/When a right has been allowed at a given level, it get explicitly 
denied to anyone else at the same level. For example, if edit right is 
allow at document level to userA only, it will be denied to any other 
userB, unless this userB receive an implied edit right with a different 
inheritance policy at a higher level (userB is admin for example).//

[xwiki-users] Groovy console extension - how to get it to work?

Followed the directions to save the two Xuake documents with programming

Anyhow, I'm supposed to be able to bring up the console using F10, but
