[xwiki-users] Installing and running XWiki on Windows Vista
Hi, Some user observations on installing and running XWiki on Windows Vista: I tried installing (as administrator) the latest version of XWiki (using the slick looking Windows installer) on Windows Vista and it seemed to install ok, but when I tried running it up using the XWiki starup shortcut on the desktop it couldn't find the start_xwiki.bat in the XWiki directory. I looked and found it under the jetty directory, so moved them to the XWiki directory and tried again, but got access denied errors and can't write to the log file errors in the startup window. When I ran the the start_xwiki.bat directly from a command window it started up correctly and worked fine. So it looks like some configuration, permissions issues need addressing in the next release of XWiki. To simply things is it possible to install XWiki directly as a Windows service so it always comes up when Windows starts? Does anyone know how to do this? Maybe this could be done for the next release of XWiki? The easier and quicker XWiki can be installed and run up then more likely it is to be used by more users. New WYSIWYG editor Like the new editor ... but it's still got a long way to go ... I'd like to see some easy WYSIWYG way of laying out tables, columns, rows, frames by being able to drag them to the desired positions and sizes. Document storage in XWiki Like to have the option to store attached documents external to any XWiki database in some sort of directory structure, for ease of backup and to ease performance issues when the database gets stuffed with huge documents.

Re: [xwiki-users] Installing and running XWiki on Windows Vista
Hi Richard, I've got a quick question : since XWiki Enterprise uses a client - server architecture and is meant to be installed on the server and accessed through a browser over the network, why would you need to have XWiki Enteprise start each time windows start ? Why don't you simply keep your windows server up all the time, with XWiki Enterprise running on top of it all the time ?

Re: [xwiki-users] Problem with class sheet
John Carroll wrote:
Hi all,
I have a problem with a class sheet. I have been working on a project for
the past few weeks. The class sheet has been edited many times. But
after doing the last edit the following happens.
1.
I can not access the class via the class editor page where all classes are
listed, so i cant see the class sheet or the class properties page. The
same error is displayed when accessing any document created using this
class. I get this error:
Detailed information:
Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while reading document
XWiki.ExpenseClass
Wrapped Exception: Error number 2002 in 2: Error parsing xml

0
com.xpn.xwiki.objects.classes.StringClass
SuppBusiConfTotal

0
SuppBusiConfTotal
30
etc... for every property in the class (150 or so).
I can access the class sheet by using its URL. Editing or changing the
class sheet makes no difference.
I cannot access the class property page using its URL.
2.
The bread crumb link where parent and space is displayed for documents
created using this class shows this:
Scheduler: ${pdoc.displayTitle} $tdoc.displayTitle
3.
I can not see the Expense.webhome page.
In this page I use seachDocuments to find all documents associated with
XWiki.ExpenseClass.
It looks like a class property has been corrupted and any attempt to read
any document associated with the class fails.
Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing velocity page Expenses.WebHome
Wrapped Exception: Failed to evaluate content with id Web Home
com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 4001 in 4: Error while parsing
velocity page Expenses.WebHome

com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException: Error number 3202 in 3: Exception while
reading document Expenses.Expensecarrollj15330323092008dgs
4.
To get around this problem I created another class, matching the
properties of the first class. That worked fine for a little while, even
after editing the class sheet many times. This second class is now doing
the same thing as the first class.
Just to let you know; in the class sheet i am using searchDocuments to
find documents created using other classes.
So what am i doing wrong? Is there any way i can fix this?
With help from Ludovic Dubost i managed to fix the class.
The XWD_CLASS_XML field in the class document has a limit of 65Kb.
Looking at the XWD_CLASS_XML field for XWiki.ExpenseClass showed a size of
65353 bytes.
Any text over 65Kb didnt seem to save properly. The xml close class tag was
missing which caused my problems.
It would be nice if xwiki warned the user that they have exceeded the
maximum size of the XWD_CLASS_XML field.
I noticed alot of space was used up when databaseList was used. The query
is saved with the property.

Re: [xwiki-users] Hidden input after select, radio or checkbox, why ?
Sergiu,
Do you means that this trick is used because the save action of XWiki
is unaware of the list of field shown to the user by the preceding
inline action, and you do not know if a field should be updated or
left unchanged when it is not sent back ?

I really wonder what is the need for that, and if I can remove it,

Thanks in advance for any advices.
It is needed because of the way HTML forms work. Without the empty
field, you would not be able to unselect all options, because the
browser does not send back the field name if it doesn't have any value
to associate with it. The empty hidden field is used by the wiki
engine
to detect if it is a field with no values selected, or no field at
all.

Re: [xwiki-users] localization of XWiki into Arabic
Hi Alberto, Thanks so much for your quick reply. You have to translate the applicationResources.properties file. There's a component in XWiki Core called Internationalization and Localization in Jira: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI/component/10290 There you can find other translations and useful information on the translation. I have done the translation into Galician, so if I can be of any help, just tell me. I installed the xwiki-workspaces-distribution-hsqldb-1.0 version with windows installer. As I'm using XWiki since many years, I'ven't faced any problems with new versions. But I'm trying to find the application resources that you pointed out in your mail. I couldn't found them. May I have to download and install them to get the localized version. Another important things related to its localisation, It is known that localization is not only limited on the translation of resources files (Key=Value). The process is little bit more complex: How about the consistency between documents and GUI strings and those of the system messages? How about the translation of installation Wiki pages? They are not in the resources! For example, where could we find strings of the main pages when XWiki is installed for the first time? Adding to that and according to your experience in its localization, I would like to know if you got well localized version into Galician when you translated these resource files? Finally, what kind of methods have you used for managing consistency between GUI and documentation strings? In the process of localization, It is very important to translate documentation and keep consistency (doc-GUI) since it is an integrated part of any software. The encoding of these files are not UTF-8, then how it will be possible to manage multilingual content by shifting from one language to another during runtime? Thanks in advance. Sincerely yours.
