[xwiki-users] [myxwiki] new wiki request

2011-01-26 Thread Michael Bützer
Hey there

We are interested in having a wiki hosted on this farm.

The Association of Swiss Communes (www.chgemeinden.ch in German oder French) is 
a small non-for profit organization that defends the Swiss Communes interests 
at the federal governmental level in Switzerland. The Associations' executive 
office would like to add this Wiki for internal use in order to enhance our 
internal commnication and mutual exchange of information. We already registered 
on myxwiki.org with the user chgemeinden and would like to use the server name 
chgemeinden.myxwiki.org to access the wiki. 

Thanks in advance to the community Admins to create it for us!

Best regards,

Michael Bützer

Re: [xwiki-users] XWiki IntenseDebate integration

Hi Alessandro,

 Dear XWiki users,
 
 I'm developing on XWIKI and I would need to ask you for a specific  
 information about comments management I haven't been able to retrieve.
 
 I need to understand if together with the XWiki user registration an  
 IntenseDebate account could be automatically created as it is  
 currently for Wordpress.
 
 I really would need for this solution in order to avoid XWIKI users to  
 create two separate accounts and then to link them.

How do you create an intensedebate account automatically? REST? SOAP? etc
Once you find out you can have a script in a xwiki page call it when a user 
registers in the wiki for example.

Thanks

Re: [xwiki-users] Doing a File Exchange App

2011-01-26 Thread Scardino, Leonard R Jr ERDC-ITL-MS Contractor
Ok, so I've talked to my people, and a limit of 20 megabytes isn't going to
cut it.  Looks like users will be uploading how-to video's and PowerPoints
that will exceed 20 megabytes.

I'm going to start researching alternatives, but I thought I'd ask this group
if you had any suggestions on how to proceed.  It's looking to me like I'll
need another system, but I'm not certain what would be best.  Any
suggestions?

Lenny

You can use WebDAV to access the wiki.
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Features/WebDAV

You can do some custom UI on top of the basic attachment feature.

But note that the current attachment storage is not that memory efficient, so
it won't work well if the attachments are big. If you have attachments less
than 10-20 megabytes, that's OK, but bigger than that requires a different
approach. This will improve in the near future (3.0 / 3.1 hopefully).

Another alternative is to implement the file exchange using another system,
maybe even plain old FTP, and only provide an UI for it in XWiki. How exactly
this can be done depends on the service you want to use and what remote
access APIs it provides.

When are you willing to release?
The file-system-storage would avoid the 20 Mb limit I think but it'll only be 
in beta or alpha at next release.

Unfortunately they want to demo the wiki pretty soon.  It would depend on how
long before the next release.  My guess is, I don't have time.

Re: [xwiki-users] Doing a File Exchange App

2011-01-26 Thread Ludovic Dubost


I don't think it exists.

But it should not be too much work. You can use the built in 
PARENT-CHILD relationship between pages for your folder structure and 
the built it file upload for adding files.
Each page would be a FolderClass and use a FolderSheet which would 
display all it's children and attachments in folder mode.


You can then have a tree view or a browsing view.

Sorry, I realize the way I worded it I wasn't very clear.  I do want to do
this within XWiki, not a separate application.  Basically I'm curious if
there is an existing XWiki app that would work for me that I didn't see
perusing the extensions page, or some way within XWiki already that would
accomplish this.  So any suggestions along that lines would be most helpful.

I know I can write my own if necessary, but I'd like to not have to re-invent
the wheel if possible.

Thanks,

Lenny

Outside of XWiki?
I doubt it's as intuitive as XWiki but jFM did a good job for us.
