Hi! After a lot of tries I found the reason why it did not work, the problem was the max_allowed_packet settings in mysql. If I can mke a suggestion it would be helpful that the reason why an import did not work is displayed. The tomcat log did not help.

Re: [xwiki-users] Formula Macro - rendering methods
Hello,
As I didn't find a solution about my native renderer problem issue, so I
tried the google charts API one. Unfortunatly, when I write more than a
certain number (not too many) of characters in formula tags, I have an
error. Instead of using the google charts renderer, the snuggletex one is
used...
For instance when I wrote this simple code :
{{formula}}
11\\
11\\
11\\
11\\
11\\
11\\
11\\
11
{{/formula}}
All break lines (\\) weren't rendered. But ! If I write only the four first
lines, all is fine.
Is this a know issue ? What can I do ?
Last question :: When my wiki is local, can it make external HTTP ?
Because, When I want to use the mathtran renderer I have this error :

[xwiki-users] Newbie questions - on-line training
Hello all, I'm a newbie to XWiki, but have used and developed plugins for another Java-based wiki. I've got a few days in which to find out what I'm letting myself in for if I switch from that other Wiki to XWiki. I've spend a couple of hours reading the web site documentation, but can't find out if / how certain features I need are supported. I'd be ever so grateful if someone who knows their way round XWiki could just give me a quick indication of how much is going to be involved to provide the following features. Just a quick 'OOB' (out of the box), 'AP' (available plugin), 'DN' (development by me needed) or similar against each feature I need would be really helpful. The application is an on-line training programme for a closed charitable community. The overall training material is structured into modules. Students have modules 'unlocked' for them on an individual basis as they proceed. Each module contains a number of chapters, each chapter will be structured into sections for readability - a section corresponding to a Wiki page. Now for the unusual (?) features I need: - Single login shared with an associated Database programme (a servlet), using JAAS. (Preference is to run database and Wiki on a single Jetty instance, as I have 6 years Jetty experience). - That shared login also supplies user's group membership (student, editor, admin, etc) - Info obtained from database indicating which module(s) the student is permitted to view (could be done by multiple-group membership), - Security permissions for individual pages inferred by inheriting permissions from the module containing that page, - Inter-page references only shown if user is permitted to read those pages OR (preferably) alternate paragraph-sized blocks of Wiki text are displayed depending on whether an embedded link may be followed i.e. IF page_X_can_be_viewed THEN show_text_A ELSE show_text_B. - Output to database programme (by API or HTML call) or to machine-readable log, on time/date each page viewed by each student, so that student-specific log may be compiled, - 'Print Chapter' command - produces single printable document containing all the sections (Wiki Pages) comprising that chapter, - The above 'Print Chapter' command to omit any embedded 'eye-candy' images from that printed chapter (by use of CSS @media ?) - 'Help me on this topic' button. Sends private email help request to tutor with hot-link annotation showing the tutor where the student was when help was requested. Must at least identify location by Section (Wiki Page), preferably identify by paragraph in section. Preferable: simple, automatic next page / previous page buttons working through - Quality feedback form at end of each chapter, form data sent to database (see linkage options above). Import of pre-written, formatted documents: I've found the XWiki method which uses an Open Office instance running on the server, but I'm not sure if the virtual server we can afford has enough RAM to cope with this. Is there any other way of uploading pre-formatted documents, or of doing the format conversion before upload. I think we only need simple formatting such as headings, bold, italic text. No tables.

Now for the unusual (?) features I need: - Single login shared with an associated Database programme (a servlet), using JAAS. (Preference is to run database and Wiki on a single Jetty instance, as I have 6 years Jetty experience). We don't have a JAAS authentication implementation. To support it you will need to implement XWikiAuthService. http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-core/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/api/XWikiAuthService.java - That shared login also supplies user's group membership (student, editor, admin, etc) There is an interface XWikiGroupService http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-core/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/api/XWikiGroupService.java Another option might be to mirror the users and groups from the database into XWiki using script. - Info obtained from database indicating which module(s) the student is permitted to view (could be done by multiple-group membership), Again you could implement the right service or use script to mirror the permissions from the database in the XWiki system. http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-core/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/api/XWikiRightService.java - Security permissions for individual pages inferred by inheriting permissions from the module containing that page, If the modules are each kept in a separate space, you can set permissions on each space so we can call this supported out of the box. Each page also can have a parent page and you can list all children of a given page. This could be used to represent chapters. - Inter-page references only shown if user is permitted to read those pages OR (preferably) alternate paragraph-sized blocks of Wiki text are displayed depending on whether an embedded link may be followed i.e. IF page_X_can_be_viewed THEN show_text_A ELSE show_text_B. Not supported, changing it could be done with script, the easy way is to use plug in rendering transformations. I don't know much about this topic, maybe others can respond? - Output to database programme (by API or HTML call) or to machine-readable log, on time/date each page viewed by each student, so that student-specific log may be compiled, We have an activity stream which records such data but I imagine you want it in a certain format. You could collect the data from the activity stream table or on your own by modifying a velocity file such as view.vm in the webapp folder. You can write a special XWiki document with script to supply the data on request then get the rendered content using XML-RPC, or plain HTTP. We also support Rest and WebDav but I don't know that they can be used to get rendered content. Alternatively scripts can make HTTP requests so you could also push the data to the database instead of pulling from the wiki. - 'Print Chapter' command - produces single printable document containing all the sections (Wiki Pages) comprising that chapter, Less than 20 lines of velocity script to include the content of each page in the space. - The above 'Print Chapter' command to omit any embedded 'eye-candy' images from that printed chapter (by use of CSS @media ?) We do use CSS @media for the printer friendly pages, I'm not a CSS expert so I would approach the problem by trying to pattern match and remove image tags in the script which bunches the documents together. - 'Help me on this topic' button.

Most of the development for a custom wiki is done not in Java, but in scripting languages on top of Java: Velocity, which is a templating language on top of a public API, and Groovy. I've spend a couple of hours reading the web site documentation, but can't find out if / how certain features I need are supported. I'd be ever so grateful if someone who knows their way round XWiki could just give me a quick indication of how much is going to be involved to provide the following features. Just a quick 'OOB' (out of the box), 'AP' (available plugin), 'DN' (development by me needed) or similar against each feature I need would be really helpful. The application is an on-line training programme for a closed charitable community. The overall training material is structured into modules. Students have modules 'unlocked' for them on an individual basis as they proceed. Each module contains a number of chapters, each chapter will be structured into sections for readability - a section corresponding to a Wiki page. Now for the unusual (?) features I need: - Single login shared with an associated Database programme (a servlet), using JAAS. (Preference is to run database and Wiki on a single Jetty instance, as I have 6 years Jetty experience). The XWiki authentication mechanism is modular, and there are already several bridges between XWiki and external credential services. OOB only LDAP is provided, several others are available at https://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/sandbox/ . I don't think that one for JAAS is already developed, but it shouldn't be too hard to write it. - That shared login also supplies user's group membership (student, editor, admin, etc) Yep, depends on how far the JAAS integration goes. XWiki does support groups, and it does support retrieving group membership from external source. - Info obtained from database indicating which module(s) the student is permitted to view (could be done by multiple-group membership), Aren't access right enough? If yes, then you can query access rights for the current user on different spaces. If you need to do this with different data, then it should be easy to code a small application for this, once you get the hang of how XWiki development works. - Security permissions for individual pages inferred by inheriting permissions from the module containing that page, There are page access rights, space access rights, and wiki access rights. If you split your wiki as one module = one space, this is straightforward. - Inter-page references only shown if user is permitted to read those pages OR (preferably) alternate paragraph-sized blocks of Wiki text are displayed depending on whether an embedded link may be followed i.e. IF page_X_can_be_viewed THEN show_text_A ELSE show_text_B. The normal link syntax doesn't do this, but you could write a wiki macro (see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/DevGuide/WikiMacroTutorial ) that does this using a little bit of velocity and the XWiki API. - Output to database programme (by API or HTML call) or to machine-readable log, on time/date each page viewed by each student, so that student-specific log may be compiled, IIRC, OOB, using the activity stream plugin, but with DN to provide a nice UI for viewing the data. If I don't remember correctly, and this data is not already being recorded, it would be very easy (for a Java programmer) to write it using the observation manager. - 'Print Chapter' command - produces single printable document containing all the sections (Wiki Pages) comprising that chapter, Possible, but no UI for this is shipped by default, although there is an application which does this: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/PDFExportPanelApplication - The above 'Print Chapter' command to omit any embedded 'eye-candy' images from that printed chapter (by use of CSS @media ?) WDYM by eye-candy images? The one from the wiki engine (skin), or images introduced by you? You can check how the printer friendly and the PDF export look somewhere on an existing wiki, for example: - http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Sandbox/ - http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Sandbox/?xpage=print - http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/export/Sandbox/?format=pdf - 'Help me on this topic' button. Sends private email help request to tutor with hot-link annotation showing the tutor where the student was when help was requested. Must at least identify location by Section (Wiki Page), preferably identify by paragraph in section. A bit of DN, mostly gluing existing APIs together: the mailsender plugin, a custom panel with a bit of velocity code, and maybe a bit of javascript
Re: [xwiki-users] Export HTML - Remove Menus at top of page

This is working pretty well, but would like to remove the menus (Export, Actions, Watch,user, Log Out) from the top of each page in the HTML files. I have been playing with view.vm in \skins\colibri of the Zip file, to try and figure out what is controlling that content, but have not stumbled upon any way to disable it. Any help with this would be appreciated. Try playing with #if($context.action == 'export') Thanks, -Rob -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/ ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
