Re: [xwiki-users] Dashboard customization

Hi,
how do you change the default dashboard layout ?
Simply Edit the home page in Inline mode and you'll be able to drag and drop
gadgets around, removing a column, adding a new one, etc.
I mean dashboard source shows :
{{dashboard source=Main.Dashboard/}}
and Main.Dashboard has:
{{dashboard/}}
How do you change for example the dashbord layout or limit the liste of
spaces shown ?
The spaces are listed with the spaces gadget. Just go to MAin.Dashboard and
edit in Object mode.
In the near future, Anca is going to commit gadget edition (she has it on her
machine but still requires some testing).
Thanks

[xwiki-users] WatchListRss and virtual wiki
Hello, we are using XWiki 2.7.0 with farming activated and are observing problems regarding the WatchList feed. We are observing 2 problems: - the link in the generated feed points to the master wiki - the feed is empty We don't use virtual domains, so perhaps this is the problem? The Blog Rss feed has the same problems while the RSS feed (WebRSS) with full activity has no problems at all. I had a look at the velocity code of WatchListRSS an WebRSS: the former is much simpler, but I don't have a clue regarding velocity. XWiki 2.7.1 (no farming activated) shows no problems. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen Werner Greßhoff Dezernet 2 - Digitale Dienste Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Münster ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hi,
we're using Xwiki as our main local knowledge repository (kind of) and
we've started some gardening.
We did some assessment and some minimal cleanup but as far as we can
see we'll need to do some automated wiki gardening : broken links
detection, duplicated content, etc.
Do you use some automated tools to do it ? or simply do the cleaning
manually ?
No, not really. What can be done is to detect such content.
There's the Orphaned Pages tab in Document Index, which can list
pages which don't have a valid parent.
This snippet can detect broken links:
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Extension/All+Broken+Links
Thanks a lot, I'll take a look to the extensions
Duplicated content is harder to find, and depends on what you understand
by duplicate content. If that's exact copy, character by character,
you could use something like this: (works on mysql, depends on the rdbms
implementing MD5 method)
{{velocity}}
#foreach($doc in $xwiki.search(select doc.fullName from XWikiDocument
doc where MD5(doc.content) in (select MD5(d.content) from XWikiDocument
d group by MD5(d.content) having count(*) 1)))
* [[$doc]]
#end
{{/velocity}}
This only checks the content field, and will report all documents based
on the template+sheet pattern.
If you mean fairly similar to, then that's not something that can be
done out of the box, but you could integrate a third party tool
dedicated to finding similar documents, feed it the content of the wiki,
and check its results.
Agreed, it's a kind of ambitious goal
As for the cleanup part, that has to be done manually. Or, with a bit of
scripting, you can do whatever you want with the reported documents.
Thanks a lot for your help !

Re: [xwiki-users] Drop mailing lists in favor of a forum software
Hi,
IMO it makes a lot of sense to use a forum solution for users (when it does
not for devs). When I was working with WordPress software, I was reading a
lot forum threads (they are using their other product, bbPress). I wouldn't
have thought about subscribing to a mailing list, I didn't even know they
existed. I was not Open Source minded, so are a lot of people using XWiki
and willing to contribute good feedback. A forum is so much easier to read
(topics, dates, tags, rates) and much less geek.
I am +1 for a forum solution for users.

I'm not sure how to read your last 2 paragraphs.
Just note that fro my POV there's no you and me here. There's only a
global community and you're part of it. That said at some point some people
are going to need to work to make it happen, this is where the distinction
will happen. How far are you willing to help? Maybe a first step would be
that you help find either a forum software that fits the bill or a hosted
service that would work for us.
From the people who answered so far my feeling is that:
* people seem to agree in general that at least for users a forum would
be nicer
* since xwiki committers provide a substantial amount of answers to the
user list as of today it would be nice that they can continue to have the
information coming to me
For my own FOSS project I'm hoping to start soon - I'll be going with
http://stackoverflow.com. Providing support means checking the site for
tagged questions a couple of times a day. It's just one mouse click. For
me it makes no real difference in getting mails or checking a forum as
long as you have a one-click list of open topics.
Gathering all the information about all possible options and criteria
can get very time consuming so I think we should try to rule out
something first.
Forums that are operated by other providers (getsatisfaction,
stackoverflow, ...) might
* be discontinued without warning (see jive)
* change their policy later (no more free forums)
* not expose user mail addresses and forum content (or might change that
policy) so you're locked in.
* not be as flexible as own forums if you want to change something (add
category, ...)
OTOH operating an own forum
* requires admin efforts (must be maintained and updated, backups, ...)
* may not be as publicly visible as that of other providers (because of
their advertisements ...)
* may not be as innovative as special forum operators ('awarding for
active participants', ...)
In addition there are concerns valid for both:
* Is it important to somehow import the existing mail archive ?
So IMO this is the first decision - is it ok to rely on somebody else ?
and then decide which one.
I'd be ok to spend time on it once its clear which way to go.
However - as for me - nothing will happen fast as beside of my daily
work I already have a side project so this is kind of
side-project-side-project.
Now for getsatisfaction - I don't know anything about it except that
what can be found on their site.
They don't seem to offer free accounts for open source. I've also seen
no indication you can get mail alerts for new contributions.
So how do we approach this ?

My personal POV is indeed that I'd like a forum for both the
participation part (ie awarding status/points to active participants to
surface them) and the categorization part but indeed I don't see myself
going to the forum so it has to come to me. I think this is easy to achieve
since on forums like getsatisfaction you can subscribe to the whole forum
and thus receive all posts. What would be even better is if I could post or
reply by replying to the mail.
Now back to getsatisfaction I think before we could use it we'd need to
check:
* are there any limitations for free open source forums? What's their
position on open source?
* how can we get all the posts in a neutral and standard format should we
want to move to another tool later on?
