I really would like to have a indicator that some advanced rights has been set locally or not without having to go advanced mode. Else, you will have to expand all rows to check that information, which is not practical. Order of right are not significant, so I would prefer that in all view, these where in the same order, with the basic right first (V/C/E/D/A/P) and the additional right in their order of registration (hope that it will stay constant... or we will have to find a way to keep them ordered). The right part of each icon should be grayed if the right is inherited and not grayed if the right is set locally, this improve the information provided in V3. http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Rights43Proposal#HAfterclick The problem with this icons (taken from Silk) is that there is little difference for View, Comment, Admin icons between the two states (inherited, locally set) - but this is something we can easily improve (by changing the icons and looking for some more contrast). Example: This is how they look when all rights are set locally (full color) http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/Rights43Proposal/fullColors.png I also think that the +/- (which is never grayed) could be nearer to the right icon. Maybe you could use a green V and a read stop in place of +/- ? The other mockup versions (like http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Rights41Space) used v/x for the allow/deny representation, and yes, I agree that they are more suited than +/-. The problem is that we are using in XWiki, X to represent delete, so having two xX was too much, that's why I introduced +/-. Maybe we can find another solution. I think we need some polishing on the icons used. Building them specifically would be nice, but I do not know if you or anyone want to have a try at that. My feeling is that the couple +/- or better v/x and the right icon should be built together and closer to each other providing the information as a whole and not giving the impression of two part. Using a v for suggesting the menu is nice, could be even improved by styling some button like borders on hover. All menus could also be improved by using the inheritance arrow married with +/- (or v/x) to show immediately what will be the right if inheritance is used. Regarding the collapsed view, I see three possibilities to investigate for allowing edition while improving readability

Re: [xwiki-users] log4j doesn't log information about LDAP connection
Hey,
there are some good news and some not so good ones.
After I upgraded xwiki to Version 2.3.1 and reconfigured xwiki.cfg the
ActiveDirectory-Authentication works. User now can login. But has no rights.
Now of course, I have to set some groupmapping. I did it like that:
xwiki.authentication.ldap.group_mapping=XWiki.GruppeA=cn=Standort,ou=Standortgruppen,ou=Gruppen,ou=Another
Group
So now, that doesn't work. There are three things I want to know:
1. do I have to add the dc=domain,dc=suffix string at the end?
2. the last group contains a space - can that be a problem?
3. are there any other things that can be wrong?
By the way, GruppeA exists in the wiki. I created it and granted some rights.
Best Regards :-)

Try setting trace level instead of debug and see if you have
Starting LDAP authentication to really make sure you don't have log
because of some very magical authenticator bug, that way we will at

I'd made the icons larger (at least 24x24) and add more contrast (right now inherited rights look like disabled GUI controls to me), especially to the dropdown menu, view right icon and inherited right arrow from the menu. The main disadvantage of this proposal is it's contrast: ColorThemes variables (highlightColor, secondaryBackgroundColor) and icons. I choose the icons form Silk set, because they are used everywhere in XWiki. The rationale was the consistency and lookfeel. That's why they all are 16x16. If we choose this version as the final one, but we are not pleased with these icons, we need to find another set (maybe as you suggested with 24x24 size) or create it from scratch (then we need to think about the icon representation). The new set should have high contrast between inherited/overridden state.

Re: [xwiki-users] [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Rights Management UI
Hello all, I really like the last proposal, Caty :) On Fri, Jun 4, 2010 at 8:57 PM, Alex Busenius alex.busen...@xwiki.com wrote: Hi Caty, This version is really cool, just some minor comments: When I mouse over some right icon (FF 3.6), the dropdown menu with allow/deny/etc. is shown, but this menu is very hard to see, because it has almost the same color as the background and the icons are right above the right icons from the line below. The popup with the hint what right it is and why it is inherited is really helpful, but to open it I need to hit the small triangle near to the icon, otherwise only the dropdown menu is shown (but maybe its just because it is not the final version). This might be quite hard for some people. I'd made the icons larger (at least 24x24) and add more contrast (right now inherited rights look like disabled GUI controls to me), especially to the dropdown menu, view right icon and inherited right arrow from the menu. I think that the tooltip can be added on mouse click. This would imply adding a nice question mark instead of that small arrow, and the user would click anywhere on the span with the class name summary. And another improvement would be to add more padding to the drop down menus. Caty is currently using the secondary background color, right? Maybe we should use the highlight color, but I'm not sure of that. Raluca.

[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request
hey guys, I'm an individual interested in developing an open-source solution for a referenced, collaborative textbook. I think that the Xwiki platform is extremely exciting, and would be ideal for my needs. I would love to use your community farm to develop and prototype. If you could host me on your server, that would be excellent. Hopefully, when my skills have developed more, I could contribute to some of the community project.

Re: [xwiki-users] Importing a blog from Blogger
I would write a groovy script to pull the files in. You can run the script on an XWiki installation on your desktop computer. Maybe use use java's File to get the directory containing all of the pages and then file.listFiles to get the files inside of the directory. Use standard java fileIO code to read the content. The loop will look something like: newDoc = xwiki.getDocument(documentName); newDoc.setContent(contentRenderedToXWiki2Format); newDoc.save() I know there is an XHTML parser and an XWiki2 renderer, you'll have to experiment with getting them working (I haven't used them). The javadoc: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/DevGuide/API/xwiki-core-rendering-api-2.3.1-javadoc.jar/index.html Once you have them on a local machine you can export as an xar and then move them to the server (if you don't have programming access on the server.) Great to see you're upgrading to better blogging software ;) Caleb timothygordon32 wrote: Is there an easy way to systematically copy the date, content (and maybe comments) of my posts on Blogger into a blog I've created in XWiki?

We may even imagine that only advanced user (those marked so in their profile), has access to the expanded view. I think that the collapsed view missed an additional icon that summarize the rights that are not shown. This one would only be shown if there is any non-defaulted additional right in action. This is a signal that extended rights are in use (See it like the grey box of Windows when special rights are setup, which is inviting to go into advanced view to know more). This one would be obviously not editable, and should probably work like the ... or replace it ? In place of the ... . Concerning the ..., I am not sure, but I would also prefer to see a textual link advanced in small font, and only visible when row is hovered. http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Rights43Proposal#HRowhover Sorry to insist, but the information regarding the advanced rights is still missing in collapsed mode. I really would like to have a indicator that some advanced rights has been set locally or not without having to go advanced mode. Else, you will have to expand all rows to check that information, which is not practical. Order of right are not significant, so I would prefer that in all view, these where in the same order, with the basic right first (V/C/E/D/A/P) and the additional right in their order of registration (hope that it will stay constant... or we will have to find a way to keep them ordered). The right part of each icon should be grayed if the right is inherited and not grayed if the right is set locally, this improve the information provided in V3.
