Re: [xwiki-users] Printing pages as displayed
Hi Mahomed, I just know an answer about the last one ... I hope the rest will be answered by others. If you want your skin customizations visible on the login page, too, then you need to make sure the anonymous user can view the page with the modifications. Giving the XWikiAllGroup view permisisons is not enough, but you are in the right place; if you look at the top of of the list showing all groups and their permission, you should find a button to switch from groups to users - there you can give the anonymous user view rights, too. This should work, unless you have secured the wiki in the adminstration with the black checkboxes preventing any anonymous access, independent of view rights. If you have done the latter, then the wiki content is fully protected, including skin customizations, and unfortunately you cannot have both a wiki completely closed to anonymous visitors and still have them view that single attachment on the login page; you would have to patch things by editing the webapp on the file system directly. Cheers Clemens That’s cool. Thanks Vincent ☺ I finally got some time (and was forced to) look at implementing changes to the print formatting. I had some mixed results. I’ll document what I’ve done below and the bits I am having some trouble with and hopefully someone can provide me with further tips. 1. I managed to format the PDF Export output by attaching a pdf.css file to my custom skin application (as per http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Skin+Application). This has mostly worked for straightforward items like headers and font. But I am having trouble with some of my tables and it would help if I could reduce the margins of the page. QUESTION: Is there a simple way to modify the margins (I need narrower margins) 2. I tried to format the printed output but found that attaching a print.css to my skin application did very little/nothing to format the output. I tested by creating an article in the Sandbox, Clicking “More Actions” “Print Preview” Press Ctrl+P. This was testing in Chrome and Firefox with the same effect/results. 3. I then found that there were several @Media=”Print” sections in the Style.css file. So I downloaded this, removed the @Media sections and re-attached my new style.css to my skin application. This now allowed my formatting in the attached print.css to take effect. So this now works and looks as I would expect. But I don’t really like the idea of having my own style.css as it’ll make it more difficult to take advantage of any new formatting changes that may be added later (unless I’ve missed the point here) 4. I have locked down the xwiki so that only registered and logged in users can view any of the documents. Unfortunately this now means that style.css is not accessible on the login page. I have modified the access rights on the skin application and given view permissions to XWikiAllGroup but I suspect I need to somehow give access to guests but I can’t see how to do that. Sorry for the long email and I hope I’ve explained clearly. Any help greatly appreciated (as always).

Hi Clemens Thanks for the response. quoteThis should work, unless you have secured the wiki in the adminstration with the black checkboxes preventing any anonymous access, independent of view rights. /quote Unfortunately this is exactly what I have. It's important that even if users have access to our LAN, only authenticated users can view the documents. Interestingly, if I use the default skin style.css then it works fine. In the meantime, I have cheated and replaced style.css in /usr/lib/xwiki/skins/flamingo I am assuming I need to create my own skin folder and not use the skin app (though to be completely honest, I am a bit confused which is the recommended way).

Re: [xwiki-users] Printing pages as displayed
I am always a bit uncertain which way is the best, too. However if you want to close your content from anonymous users, then you must go to the file system to make modifications to the style in any case. Maybe the following works for you: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Skins I see this recommends copying over all files from the base skin - I guess that is necessary in some cases, especially when all the LESS to CSS compilation takes place. But if you only want to adapt e.g. the print.css, you can: - create directory /usr/lib/xwiki/skins/myskin - add a /usr/lib/xwiki/skins/myskin/skin.properties with 'parent=flamingo' - copy and adapt the print.css from the flamingo dir into myskin - test the new skin via e.g. http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?skin=myskin - if this works, edit the XWiki.DefaultSkin to use myskin as base skin instead of flamingo That way you avoid patching the original skin from the distribution and minimize duplicate file contents.

Note that you don't have programming right on myxwiki.org so you can't install jar extension or a XAR with a page that require programming right. Tell me if you still want it.
