I cannot reproduce either. I tried both when the context language is the
default language and when not. I get only one page.

Hope this helps,

I’ve tried to reproduce on XWiki 8.2.1 but couldn’t. Here’s what I did:
* Set up multilingual to true
* Set languages to be "en,fr”
* Default language: en
* Then I create a new blog post

I could only find one page created.

Would be great if you could find the steps to reproduce the problem, maybe by 
trying on a fresh instance and progressively working towards your config.

Thanks

Re: [xwiki-users] Blog categories

[bobino]

It seems it's been a while since this discussion was last looked into. I used
the blog application management page to create a blog that has its own
space. I would like the blog within that space to use its own categories to
implement some kind of taxonomy (possibly like
http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Add-collaborative-categorization-in-xwiki-td510778.html;cid=1438742496286-532#a510779
not sure since the code does not seem available).

Here is my question:
What do I need to do in the code to implement this? Do I need to copy the
category class over into the new space and tell the new blog to use this
class instead, if so, how. The new space only has WebHome, I would have
expected other pages of the original application to be copied as well.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

 Subject: [xwiki-users] Blog entries for specific category

  Hi,
 
  I'm missing an option to show recent blog entries for a specific
 category,
  e.g. in a panel. Is there such a feature available? I can imagine others
  have needed/used such a feature before.
  Right now I'm just trying to hack Blog.RecentPostsPanel to filter on
  category, but I can't wrap my head around the query needed.
  In 'getEntriesForCategory' (Blog.CategoriesCode), the query is:
  #set($query = , DBStringListProperty as categories join categories.list
 as
  category${query} and obj.id = categories.id.id and
  categories.id.name='category'
  and category in (${parameters}))
 
  But that's about 10 degrees too difficult for me to comprehend :)
 

 This could help:

Thanks, I've stared at that many times but I just can't comprehend how to
filter on a value in a the 'Category' object, which is of the database tree
type.

It's actually pretty complex. I tried to do it myself a couple times, but I
never managed to make it work.

Could someone who knows how to do this please update the query guide with
an example?

Thanks in advance,

I guess this means the WYSIWYG editor fails to load. Can you edit a

I can reproduce it on any page. It's clearly a bug. It seems that the 
comments are not rendered in the context of the document they are 
attached to. You should report the problem on jira.xwiki.org . In the 
mean time you can use the full reference like this as a work around:

Please, could you edit the in trouble entries in object mode and 
check the content of the summary/extract field? In the sample I've

content and ellipsis is shown even though this field has not actual

Upgrading to Xwiki 2.6 
http://localhost:18080/wiki/bin/view/Blog/Upgrading+to+Xwiki+26

Good news, I have upgraded my wiki to the latest stable version 2.6 from 
the version 2.0-milestone-1.*CONGRATULATIONS*.

The new version of xwiki is more beautiful and more powerful, which 
provide several out of box skin and, also, you still customise your own 
skin. It's so funny!!! Thanks xwiki team! Good Job!

But unfortunately, currently, the new post which I have just created 
don't display the summary on the blog main page, just display a 'Read 
the Full Entry' link with three dots, such as the blow post. And other 
old posts work fine, display both summary and the link, such as the 
above post.  I have never edit the blog main wiki page,  I don't know 
what's going on.

Does I miss some configuration for the blog application?

BTW: the attachment of my previous email is just a screen capture of my 
blog main page, the content is similar with the above. And sorry for 
that I don't have Internet address for my wiki, I am just using it for 
investigating the xwiki for my self.


Thanks for your time.

Please be free to contact with me for any question or suggestion.

Thanks  Best Regards,

 Hi All,

 I got a problem with my xwiki blog, all of the created new post just
 display a link 'Read the Full Entry' within the main blog page, don't
 display the content of post, but the post which I created two weeks
 ago can be display correct. I didn't updated any blog related document
 such as Blog.BlogSheet and Blog.BlogCode.

 Does anyone get this problem or knows how to fix it? Please help me, I
 am a stranger with xwiki although I like it.

 I've just tried in a couple of installations running here to see if any
 problem could be derived from the change of the year and all is running
 fine as far as I see. So, please, could you describe your environment to
 help other to identify the problem?

 Please refer to attachment for details, Thanks.
 Sorry, attachments are filtered out by the list service. Please, could
 you upload the image/file somewhere in a accessible server and send us a
 link?

 Even better, is your server accessible from the Internet? I think it
 could help if we could see the actual server in action. Thanks!


 Greetings,

 Ricardo

Re: [xwiki-users] Blog application Document creator

Hi,
Most of your advise was accurate and has helped,
Thank you,

XWikiDocument articleDoc = vArticle.getDocument();
articleDoc.setAuthor(user);
articleDoc.setCreator(user);
aticleDoc.setContentDirty(false);
aticleDoc.setMetaDataDirty(false);
xwiki.getXWiki().saveDocument(articleDoc, xcontext.getContext);

In Groovy; should I add the semicolon at the end of each line?
Should I add this piece of code after the vArticle.save() statement?
When I did I get the following error:
Script22.groovy: 73: unable to resolve class XWikiDocument 
 @ line 73, column 15.
   XWikiDocument articleDoc = vArticle.getDocument();

the category and hidden tip did work

Using the public API it's impossible to set a different creator/author

something like:

XWikiDocument articleDoc = vArticle.getDocument();
articleDoc.setAuthor(user);
articleDoc.setCreator(user);
aticleDoc.setContentDirty(false);
aticleDoc.setMetaDataDirty(false);
xwiki.getXWiki().saveDocument(articleDoc, xcontext.getContext);

 So I would like to set the category attribute, where the class-attribute 
 definition of the post = Database Tree
 
 {{groovy}}
 ...
 vObjArticle.set(Category,'???')
 ...
 {{/groovy}}
 Does any body know what to put in '???', since a category can be multiple 
 entries ???

If you want to put just one category, you can use the document name 
where the category is defined (in the blog each category is a document, 
look at the existing categories to see how they look like):

vObjArticle.set('Category', 'Blog.MyNiceCategory')

If you want to put multiple entries, you can use an array:

vObjArticle.set('Category', ['Blog.Cat1', 'Blog.Cat2'])

 When I run the script a postpage is created, I see a link in the new 
 documents frame.
 When I go to it it displays OK, but when I go to the blog application it does 
 not show in the blog indexes (recently, categories (explained under 2)) or 
 historical)
 Only when I go to the page, click edit object and directly click save it will 
 show up in he blog
 What could be the reason for this,

Try also setting a value for the 'isHidden' property.

 The code looks like ( = title of the post)

You should not keep the vArticle.save() line, since the block that I 
gave you is exactly for saving the document.

 When I did I get the following error:

You should import com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument;

 OK.  I'll give this a try.  In theory the engine could be smart enough 
 to know if it is going to truncate in the middle of markup and adjust 
 accordingly, but having people provide a summary is a decent alternative.

 But what I'm trying to do is create the blogs, but then be able to list 
 the blogs on another regular wiki/content page - either in a list or a 
 summary format.  I don't want to force the user to go to the blog page 
 to get the teasers for that content - I'd like to be able to tease the 
 content on another page or two (where relevant, by category, or blog, 
 etc) and let them click to read the full thing.
 By the way, I'd be interested in hearing your feedback about XWiki as
 compared to Confluence. Specifically, if you were to name one thing you like
 best in XWiki vs Confluence and one thing you like best in Confluence
 compared to XWiki, what would those be?
 
 First let me thank you a lot for the feedback, that's really useful for us.
 
 Well, it's probably too soon to tell as I'm very new with XWiki and very 
 comfortable with Confluence.  My sense is that XWiki has a long way to 
 go - Confluence's markup language is excellent,
 
 In term of markup language, we had XWiki syntax 1.0 which was close to 
 confluence's syntax (since both depended on Radeox). However we've seen lots 
 of limitations and have created XWiki Syntax 2.0 which we believe is the most 
 powerful markup language (basically we can do back and forth from HTML and 
 not loose content which isn't true for the other syntaxes we know of).
 
 The new syntax is described here:
 http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax
 
 I'd be happy to know if you still think there are things better done in the 
 confluence syntax and that xwiki's syntax cannot do (I believe the opposite 
 is true).
 

 Also, to be noted, is that XWiki is polyglot ie it supports several syntaxes, 
 amongst which Confluence syntax (although if you use it you won't be able to 
 use our new WYSIWYG editor since right now it only supports XWiki Syntax 1.0).

Correction: the new WYSIWYG editor works best with XWiki Syntax 2.0 but 
it's not restricted to this syntax. The WYSIWYG editor understands and 
produces annotated XHTML thus it can work with any syntax that has a 
parser from and a renderer to annotated XHTML. Of course, if the storage 
syntax is less powerful than XHTML you'll loose information during page 
save. The editor can be adjusted to restrict some XHTML constructs in 
order to reduce the information loss.

 
 and you can do pretty 
 much anything you want with the macros they provide and the parameters 
 for them.  
 
 I agree that confluence has an edge in term of number of macros. Where XWiki 
 catches up I believe is with the ability to write velocity/groovy/ruby/python 
 scripts directly in pages along with a powerful API accessible from theses 
 scripting language which makes it relatively easy to script any missing 
 macro. However this is no substitute for more macros since standard users may 
 not have the skills to write such scripts.
 
 For example with the blog issue you simply use the blog macro 
 on any page and pass it the parameters for which blogs you want 
 (category, space, date ranges, what kind of listing, etc) and voila.  
 
 I remember using the confluence blog a long time ago (around 2005) and I 
 didn't like it because it was something part of the Confluence core and you 
 couldn't modify it to your needs. For example it had not ability to modify 
 the date of a post (that's probably been added since then) and there was no 
 way I could add it (except to go in java dev mode and rewrite the blog 
 provided I had access to the sources). In XWiki the blog application is 
 contained in wiki pages and you can edit them and modify them to suit your 
 exact needs, where needed.
 
 In due time we'll probably make the most obvious features available directly 
 as macros or as configuration options but this example highlights one main 
 difference of confluence vs xwiki IMO. Confluence

on any page and pass it the parameters for which blogs you want 
(category, space, date ranges, what kind of listing, etc) and voila.  
There's no need to know Velocity to do anything so you don't have all 
this code that regular editors and site maintainers won't ever have a 
prayer of knowing all over the place.  XWiki's preview doesn't work 
correctly - often you will preview and want to go back to editor and 
it's broken.  For example, edit a blog and then preview, and when you go 
back to edit it will have a different look (no 'summary' and 'content' 
pane, just one pane, and an error in it).  Very annoying.  The number of 
plug-ins and add-ons to confluence is massive - it allows a richness of 
content that is unmatched by pretty much any other product on the 
market.  It's something that, if I were XWiki, I would target to make 
plugins compatible with Confluence's.  Confluence's permissions seem to 
be easier to use and apply to discrete pages, spaces, and functions 
within than pretty much any other product's.  Confluence's macros around 
inclusion of Confluence content really set it apart from XWiki.  Pretty 
much anything in Confluence can be included on a page through a macro.  
That's something that really helps.  I know you can code it in XWiki but 
that really is not something that makes sense for a site managed by end 
users.

See:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/XWikiSyntax
versus
http://sandbox.onconfluence.com/renderer/notationhelp.action?section=all


The panels on XWiki are awesome.  That's really an easy way to create 
that sort of thing - Confluence can't do it - you have to do sections 
and such and it's not perfect.  You can do it, but it's not as easy as 
XWiki's. 

Again- take with a bit of a grain of salt because I'm much, much more 
familiar with Confluence.  I'm using XWiki for a client who doesn't want 
to pay the license fee, which is a major advantage for XWiki.  But right 
now, it's not quite there as far as ease of use or richness/completeness 
of features.

usability and it's starting to show. We still have the powerful engine but now 
features are also much more accessible/usable than before. Obviously there are 
always improvements to be done and we have lots of ideas on stuff to do :)

 There's no need to know Velocity to do anything so

Cheers, Vincent.  I'll take a look at this in more depth.  One question 
- does the WYSIWYG support pages that use the XWiki Syntax 2.0 though?  
I'd avoid using confluence syntax on XWiki personally, and will 
recommend my users to do the same.

Note: I am having trouble right now having two separate named blogs in 
one space.  I figured out how to do it in theory by renaming Blog to 
whatever I want it to be, but since it relies heavily on templates and 
what not from the Blog _space_, it doesn't actually work in practice.  
But I will mess with the macros to see if this is necessary because if I 
can control the display of blog teasers by category using an XWiki 
macro, I'll do that.

Inline scripting is a bad idea, though.  But one thing that you might 
want to do - and maybe you have it already, but the default pages don't 
seem to make use of it - it allow user macros and global macros that are 
code/markup/macros that can be referred to as a standard XWiki macro w/ 
parameters.  Confluence does this - you can put the scripting and stuff 
in the user macro or the space macro - which isn't Java code, but this 
kind of code - and then users use the resulting macro w/ parameters in 
the actual pages.  This is much better as it's easier for end-users to 
understand and work with.  Code inline in the page - they'll just back 
away from the keyboard and call someone else, which defeats the purpose.

No, I think even in 3.1 you can't back-date the blog post, which is 
stupid.  I really like that you can do that - we're starting a new site, 
we have extant blog posts - I want to preserve the continuity.  Can't do 
that on Confluence, so you're correct.
   
   
  XWiki's preview doesn't work 
 correctly - often you will preview and want to go back to editor and 
 it's broken.  For example, edit a blog and then preview, and when you go 
 back to edit it will have a different look (no 'summary' and 'content' 
 pane, just one pane, and an error in it).  Very annoying.
 

 This is strange. Could it be that you're using a version of XWiki where the 
 blog was still using the old wysiwyg editor? What version of XWiki Enterprise 
 are you using?

   
XWiki Enterprise 2.1.25683


   
  It's something that, if I were XWiki, I would target to make 
 plugins compatible with Confluence's.
 

 Yes we wanted to do this at one point but it's not something easy to do. We'd 
 need a confluence runtime, ie implement all APIs available from confluence 
 plugins which is probably the whole platform if we wanted to be 100% 
 compatible.

   
Yes, that's the problem.  Perhaps a JAR with a package that would allow 
developers to map functions or something- something to make it easier to 
port to XWiki.  If it's easy, they'll do it.  Since many (most??) 
Confluence add-ons are open source you guys could do 5-10 and release 
them with lots of code comments and documentation to show how easy it 
is. One thing that is clear is that XWiki CAN do whatever Confluence can.
 I also agree here. XWiki permissions are probably more powerful but still too 
 complex to use. We have scheduled to work on this in the near future.
   
That's great news!

   
 Yes I know this confluence page but you shouldn't compare it with our syntax 
 page. On our syntax page we only describe the syntax not macros (we only 
 refer to it).

 Our macro page is here:

 No problem.  As I continue to learn I'll give more.
 I'd be happy to know if you still think there are things better done in the 
 confluence syntax and that xwiki's syntax cannot do (I believe the opposite 
 is true).
 
 Also, to be noted, is that XWiki is polyglot ie it supports several 
 syntaxes, amongst which Confluence syntax (although if you use it you won't 
 be able to use our new WYSIWYG editor since right now it only supports XWiki 
 Syntax 1.0).
 
 
 Cheers, Vincent.  I'll take a look at this in more depth.  One question 
 - does the WYSIWYG support pages that use the XWiki Syntax 2.0 though?  

Yes.

 I'd avoid using confluence syntax on XWiki personally, and will 
 recommend my users to do the same.

I agree since the xwiki syntax is more powerful, our support of the confluence 
syntax is not complete (maybe around 70%) and as I said our wysiwyg editor 
won't allow editing anything other than xwiki syntax for now).

 Note: I am having trouble right now having two separate named blogs in 
 one space.  I figured out how to do it in theory by renaming Blog to 
 whatever I want it to be, but since it relies heavily on templates and 
 what not from the Blog _space_, it doesn't actually work in practice.  
 But I will mess with the macros to see if this is necessary because if I 
 can control the display of blog teasers by category using an XWiki 
 macro, I'll do that.

I'll let Sergiu answer this since he's the blog app author.

 I agree that confluence has an edge in term of number of macros. Where 
 XWiki catches up I believe is with the ability to write 
 velocity/groovy/ruby/python scripts directly in pages along with a 
 powerful API accessible from theses scripting language which makes it 
 relatively easy to script any missing macro. However this is no 
 substitute for more macros since standard users may not have the 
 skills to write such scripts.
 
 Inline scripting is a bad idea, though.  But one thing that you might 
 want to do - and maybe you have it already, but the default pages don't 
 seem to make use of it - it allow user macros and global macros that are 
 code/markup/macros that can be referred to as a standard XWiki macro w/ 
 parameters.  Confluence does this - you can put the scripting and stuff 
 in the user macro or the space macro - which isn't Java code, but this 
 kind of code - and then users use the resulting macro w/ parameters in 
 the actual pages.  This is much better as it's easier for end-users to 
 understand and work with.  Code inline in the page - they'll just back 
 away from the keyboard and call someone else, which defeats the purpose.

Definitely, that's what wiki macros are for (the link I gave in my first 
reply). Here it is:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WikiMacroTutorial

 I remember using the confluence blog a long time ago (around 2005) and I 
 didn't like it because it was something part of the Confluence core and you 
 couldn't modify it to your needs. For example it had not ability to modify 
 the date of a post (that's probably been added since then) and there was no 
 way I could add it (except to go in java dev mode and rewrite the blog 
 provided I had access to the sources). In XWiki the blog application is 
 contained in wiki pages and you can edit them and modify them to suit your 
 exact needs, where needed.

Hi Rick,

 Hi,

 I'm new to XWiki but know Confluence pretty well.  I'd like to be able to

 something similar to what Confluence does with their blog macro - be able
 to
 show 1..n recent blog posts on a page, either just showing the titles
 (which
 we can do with Velocity as per the default Dashboard), or showing a
 teaser
 that shows the title, date posted, poster, and a small intro snippet of the
 post...

 Format would be like:

 TITLE
 snippet...
 ...
 ...
 Posted by user at datetime (possibly comment stats etc)

 Is there a way to do this in XWiki?


Yes, definitely. The blog actually used to do this but we changed it some
time ago because when content got truncated sometimes markup was no longer
closed properly, which led to wome weird display on the blog homepage (half
of the text getting underlined, stuff like that).

With the new rendering engine, it could be possible to write a smart
snippet algorithm that would cut the markup in the right place. In the
default version, you'll notice that if you manually fill the summary field
of a blog post it gets displayed on the blog homepage instead of the actual
article content, which I believe is close to the behavior you're looking
for. If that's what you want to do, follow the indications on
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/BlogApplication to create
a blog out of any page.

By the way, I'd be interested in hearing your feedback about XWiki as
compared to Confluence. Specifically, if you were to name one thing you like
best in XWiki vs Confluence and one thing you like best in Confluence
compared to XWiki, what would those be?

Hope this helps,

Guillaume

You could try this:

- Add this at the start of the content (before the {{velocity line):

- Add this where you want the blog posts to be displayed:

 Hi all,

 I just did something like this recently and think I can explain it
 briefly.
 It's a bit of work and I get some errors I do not understand, but it
 works.
 Here's how I did it:

 1. Make a complete export of the Wiki in the admin backend.
 2. Extract the XAR you have.
 3. Edit package.xml : remove all lines NOT referring to the Blog
 space.
 4. Delete all folders except the Blog one.
 5. Decide the spacenaam you would like to give it: I chose Blogboek
 (let's
 call it that for the rest of this explanation).
 6. Change the foldername to Blogboek.
 7. Change all references to Blog in Blogboek. I did that by running
 a script
 on the commandline (using Linux) that replaces .Blog by .Blogboek.
 8. You should now have the package.xml containing the subscription
 of the
 files in the Blogboek folder. Note that this also contains all the
 Blog-posts that were in the Blog space.
 9. To get the categories displayed properly, change line 113 in
 CategoriesPanel.xml:
 #getCategoriesHierarchy('Blogboek' $tree)
 10. When ready, put everything in a zip and rename it to XAR. MAke
 sure the
 folder and file are in the root of the zip, not in a folder (chack
 by view
 it).
 11. Now you can import the XAR in the Xwiki admin backend.

 The only error I encounteres was a list of files named Blog.xxx.xxx
 that
 were not imported.
 It seems somehow there is metadata that knows the files came from
 the Blog
 space.
 The other files (Blogboek.xxx.xxx) are imported correctly, so the
 result was
 what I wanted:
 a seperate space with the complete Blog functionality, seperate from
 the
 Xwiki core.

 Note that Blog is in development and there are irritating bugs in  
 the
 editor.

 I really hope a syntax 2 version will be in a coming Xwiki release
 using the
 new editor.

 The syntax 2.0 blog is planned to be in the XE 2.1RC1 release later
 today :)

 We'd love if you could try it out and let us know if there are any
 issue so that we can fix them before the XE 2.1 final planned for  
 next
 week.

The form was not exactly matching our needs, because it leaves the
categories in the Blog space, while the document are in another (as far I

We have a seperate space for all our documents, because we prefer to not be
forced to update standard components that we use.
Since Blog is in the XWiki core now, an update of the core might change our
functionality, which we would like to keep in our own hands.

I am lloking forward to the Blog being included as a seperate space,
especially because there are many changes in it related to the XWiki 2
syntaxis.

 Hi all,

 I just did something like this recently and think I can explain it  
 briefly.
 It's a bit of work and I get some errors I do not understand, but it  
 works.
 Here's how I did it:

 1. Make a complete export of the Wiki in the admin backend.
 2. Extract the XAR you have.
 3. Edit package.xml : remove all lines NOT referring to the Blog  
 space.
 4. Delete all folders except the Blog one.
 5. Decide the spacenaam you would like to give it: I chose Blogboek  
 (let's
 call it that for the rest of this explanation).
 6. Change the foldername to Blogboek.
 7. Change all references to Blog in Blogboek. I did that by running  
 a script
 on the commandline (using Linux) that replaces .Blog by .Blogboek.
 8. You should now have the package.xml containing the subscription  
 of the
 files in the Blogboek folder. Note that this also contains all the
 Blog-posts that were in the Blog space.
 9. To get the categories displayed properly, change line 113 in
 CategoriesPanel.xml:
 #getCategoriesHierarchy('Blogboek' $tree)
 10. When ready, put everything in a zip and rename it to XAR. MAke  
 sure the
 folder and file are in the root of the zip, not in a folder (chack  
 by view
 it).
 11. Now you can import the XAR in the Xwiki admin backend.

 The only error I encounteres was a list of files named Blog.xxx.xxx  
 that
 were not imported.
 It seems somehow there is metadata that knows the files came from  
 the Blog
 space.
 The other files (Blogboek.xxx.xxx) are imported correctly, so the  
 result was
 what I wanted:
 a seperate space with the complete Blog functionality, seperate from  
 the
 Xwiki core.

 Note that Blog is in development and there are irritating bugs in the
 editor.

 http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XABLOG-63

 I really hope a syntax 2 version will be in a coming Xwiki release  
 using the
 new editor.
 
 The syntax 2.0 blog is planned to be in the XE 2.1RC1 release later  
 today :)
 
 We'd love if you could try it out and let us know if there are any  
 issue so that we can fix them before the XE 2.1 final planned for next  
 week.
 
 Thanks

 Thank you all for your help, hope this is usefull!

 Anyone up for this? :)

 hi Vincent,

 Thank you for your response.
 I have a full agenda these days, but I will try to evaluate 2.1RC1.

2.1 final is now out... :-)

-Vincent

 We will probably upgrade from 1.9.3 to 2.1 release anyway when it  
 comes out,
 but I am waiting for servers to be made ready to do a new install  
 and off
 course we will report issues on that.

 Thank you (and your collegues) for all your work!
 Given there are some issues with XWiki, we do really like the  
 product and
 the way it is built!

 Kind regards,
 Vincent Gerris

Agreed. We have Blog Categories right now in the admin. Maybe this

Re: [xwiki-users] Blog with wiki 2.0 syntax

 Hi
 
 After a while I figured out how to add code blocks etc to a blog  
 entry. This seems to use the wiki 1.0 syntax and I was wondering if  
 there is a chance to use 2.0 instead because I only use 2.0 for the  
 wikis and I would love to keep one syntax around.
 
 Cheers

The 2.0 syntax (and renderer and wysiwyg editor) are still in 
development, so we didn't switch applications to the new syntax yet. 
Thus, all the supporting code of the Blog application is written in the 
1.0 syntax. While theoretically you could use 2.0 documents for blog 
posts, it won't work 100%.

Make sure you have created the indexes of your DB

If you have more than 500 docs this is absolutely needed.

 As per this bug, this is a known problem:
 http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3022

 Can you start by verifying if the problem is in your database, in  
 your
 web server (if you have any) or in XWiki?
 Is this a large wiki?

 From the bug above:
 
 A load of the front page (which includes the blog on my site) takes
 24,452 calls to MySQL with 22,940 calls recorded in the query log  
 before
 the limit statement.
 I've got about 800 blog posts on my site so this seems a little
 excessive.

 During the time when it's doing the heavy querying, one core is  
 stuck at
 100% utilization.
 

 For me, it can take 20-30 seconds to load that page. The workaround  
 I'm
 using is to cache the page, but that's only so effective.

 Unfortunately, I've got a lot of things going on so haven't thrown
 dtrace at it yet.

If you install XWiki Enterprise you don't get this behavior so there  
must be something happening. Do you have a way to reproduce this  
starting with a clean install?

Alternatively if you could attach a DB dump that reproduces the pb  
maybe someone here could have a look see if it can be reproduced.

Paul, is this caused by the number of blog posts?

Last, we have a new Blog application which is going to be released  
real soon now. Would be good if you could try it and see if it helps.

For xwiki.org the page is cached and it would be normal since it's  
remote so you need to add up network times.

Ok so that's probably the reason then. We must have some bugs in the

lots of blog posts.

Fortunately we've fully rewritten it from scratch and improved it a

Since this is quite long, a short summary first:

1. The old blog app is buggy, in Blog.WebHome #includeMacros should be
replaced with #includeTopic.
2. With several thousands articles, most of the time is spent in
searchDocuments (just this one call takes more than 90% of the time).
3. Still, the query is not that complex, and with 2000 documents * 2000
objects a serious database should not have any problems.
4. The new blog application is slightly slower than the old one (if the
bug in point 1 is fixed) as an acceptable cost for the new published
feature.



I just ran some tests on the old and new blog applications, with the
following results:

- The old blog application had a bug which caused all the articles to be
displayed in a discarded buffer. The problem is that Blog.WebHome uses
#includeMacros to include the Blog.Macros page (which behaves more like
a sheet than a macro container document). The current rendering engine
pre-parses all the documents included with #includeMacros, and for the
initial parsing the $nbstart and $nbitems variables are not defined, so
#blog($category $nbitems $nbstart) will actually process all the blog
entries (but in a discarded buffer, so nothing gets printed to the
user). For the second run, when the result is actually printed, the
correct values are used for $nbitems and $nbstart, so only 10 items are
displayed. A quick fix is to replace #includeMacros with #includeTopic,
which works just fine.

After fixing this bug, some performance numbers:

- With 1000 documents it takes about 0.4 seconds to display the blog
homepage in both applications.
- With 2000 documents, it takes about 1.5 seconds to display the blog
homepage in the old application, and a bit more (but still under 2
seconds) in the new application. Most of this time is spent in the
getDocuments call (1.3 seconds), due to the large number of entities
that have to be joined (2000+ XWikiDoc * 2000+ BaseObject * many
thousands properties). This time was achieved on a laptop (2.26GHz dual
core) with the default jetty + hsqldb distribution.
- The new blog takes more to run the search query because it also has to
join with the 'published' and 'hidden' properties, which is a new
feature of the new application. The performance penalty is not that big,
so this is IMHO an acceptable cost.
- I didn't run a performance test on Glassfish+Derby or on Tomcat+mySQL,
but I think that with the right indexes in place it will be a lot
better. 2000 documents is not that much for a serious database, but it
seems to be quite a lot for hsql.

OK, no one answered me yet :-( But I discover a matter.
When I restarted Tomcat, I can see all messages at once. Probably a matter
of caching?
How it is possible to disable a cache for blog before I execute a command
getFeed()?
Yes, it is a very strange behavior  :-( Help me!
So no one have made a panel with blog/rss headers yet?

 Interestingly my own blog has 3 messages and I can enumerate only one. 
 But, test with the blog from xwiki.com is right.
 Any help?

Re: [xwiki-users] Blog categories in 1.2rc3 broken?

[Dean Sellers]

k, straight to the source, oh well it's about time I moved on from the ANSI 
C world :-)
let the learning curve begin, at least now I have something else to get in 
trouble for 'wasting' my spare time on.
 
I assume on the xwiki site there are guides for setting up an IDE(eclipse?), 
downloading and building the source.

Hi Dean,

Greetings fellow xwiki'ers,
I have just installed 1.2rc3 with the default database under 
linux/mysql/jboss, all is now working a treat! If anyone thinks it is 
worthwhile I can post a how-to but the instructions in the xwiki uide are 
pretty spot on now.


cool


 
One issue though, the blog categories seem a little screwy, there are 
three News, Personal and Other but they don't display very well in the 
breadcrumbs, or the category editor in the Admin centre. Can anyone point at 
why this might be happening? I don't mind fixing it as it helps me understand 
how it works, but pointer as to what/why would be appreciated.


Yes it's been somewhat buggy in the display for some time now. I didn't get the 
chance to look into it so any help here would be most welcome :)

The page that doesn't render nice is:
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/Categories

This page includes the http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/CategorySheet 
page which uses the form macro. It seems the form macro has some problems. It's 
 as if it generated code using the {table} macro but that later doesn't get 
rendered.

Thus you should probably check the FormMacro.java source.

Thanks
-Vincent




To reproduce start from a fresh 1.2rc3 enterprise .war and import the 
.xar go to Admin-Categories and you will see what I mean, hopefully. I have 
done two seperate server builds and the get the same behaviour, both 
jboss/mysql, I haven't tried the standalone jetty install though.
 
I am investigating xwiki as an exercise really, I do plan to deploy it 
as a public/private site once I have worked it out and re-skinned it.
 
Thoughts, comments, he?
 
TIA,
Dean.

Hi Tim,
 
If you look through Nabble, this has been described a few times before.
It's fairly easy to do.

Has anyone successfully created a second blog in a single wiki? If so,
please give me some guidence on how to do this task. Also, what could be
a source of a velocity parsing error while creating a class sheet?
Please respond to help progress my research.

Re: [xwiki-users] Blog/Clone

[Vincent Massol]

Since this is such a frequently asked question it would be nice if  
someone could:

1) document it on xwiki.org, either:
- in the FAQ
- as a code snippet on http://dev.xwiki.org

or even better:

2) create an application (XAR) that does this and upload it on 
http://code.xwiki.org

Anyone up for this? :)

Thanks
-Vincent

 documentation?

 Thanks in advance,

Re: [xwiki-users] Blog

Hello,
 
When you state to clone the two classes, do you mean clone as in Java 
programming or clone as create inside the wiki itself? 
 
Thanks, 
Tim
 
 Vitantonio, Thanks for the response.
 
 So, let's say my space is called Schedule.
 
 Do I clone Xwiki.ArticleClass, Xwiki.ArticleClassTemplate and 
 XWiki.ArticleClassSheet
 as Schedule.ArticleClass, Schedule.ArticleClassTemplate and 
 Schedule.ArticleClassSheet
 and create an equivalent to the XWiki Latest Articles page that uses them?
 
 Looks like I would also need to create a clone of Blog.Macros as maybe 
 ScheduleBlog.Macros.
 
 Then if I want this for twenty other spaces, I would repeat the exercise 
 twenty times.
 
 I wouldn't mind too much doing this, but it seems there ought to be an 
 easier way.

Clone within the wiki itself.

Re: [xwiki-users] Blog

[Campbell, Timothy D]

thanks for the advice but when I try to do that it will not let me create a 
class or a class template. I recieve an error. What could be the cause and 
solution for this? With this error occuring, I will not be able to clone it. 
 
Thanks, 
Tim
