[xwiki-users] Xwiki in FreeBSD jail?

2017-01-30 Thread Oliver Angélil

Dear all,

I am reading these

installation instructions. Is installing Xwiki inside a freebsd jail
 the recommended method? I.e.
is it "strongly" recommend or is there not much to gain either way.

Thanks,
Oliver

2017-01-31 Thread Oliver Angélil

Thanks Vincent and Patrick,

Maybe I'll try this docker thing that Vincent provided. Installing all the
components separately before installing the Xwiki .war seems laborious.

Now I wish I had Ubuntu so I could use app-get to install Xwiki ;)

[xwiki-users] Tomcat Error number 11007

2017-02-06 Thread Oliver Angélil

The full exception report is pasted below.

I've followed the tomcat

 and mysql

installation
instructions. I can see the tomcat homepage when navigating to h
ttp://192.168.1.8:8080/ in my browser, however
http://192.168.1.8:8080/xwiki-enterprise-web-8.4.4/bin/view/Main results in
the error attached.

The output of *SELECT User FROM mysql.user; *in mysql is:

+---+

| User  |

+---+

| mysql.sys |

| root  |

| xwiki |

+---+

Although I'm not sure if this is a mysql problem. I'm running tomcat
v8.0.39 and mysql57-server v5.7.15_1

Thanks,
Oliver

Ignore the "kokopu". The exception should actually be *Host ''192.168.1.8'
is not allowed to connect to this MySQL server. *I had *1**92.168.1.8
kokopu.ddns.net <http://kokopu.ddns.net> kokopu* in /etc/hosts (in the
jail) for no good reason.

*SELECT host FROM mysql.user WHERE User = 'xwiki';*

Here are the mysql database creation instructions on FreeBSD that finally
worked for me:

*In the mysql console...*
*mysql -u root -p *
(enter password in *.mysql_secret* file)
*SET PASSWORD = PASSWORD('my_new_password');*
*exit*


*In the FreeBSD command line...*
*mysql -u root -p -e "create database xwiki default character set utf8
collate utf8_bin"**mysql -u root -p -e "grant all privileges on *.*
to xwiki@192.168.1.8  identified by 'xwiki'" **(Where
192.168.1.8 is the local IP. Replacing "192.168.1.8" with "localhost" did
not work for me.)*
*mysql -u root -p -e "flush privileges"*


*Check what things look like...**mysql -u root -p -e "select host from
mysql.user where user = 'xwiki'"*

[xwiki-users] How to use PDF viewer macro

2017-02-23 Thread Oliver Angélil

Hi all,

I'm using xwiki enterprise 8.4.4.

I've installed the PDF view macro
extension
(it appears as "installed" in the extensions manager).

How do I now view a PDF using it? See the attached screenshot. When I click
on the PDF, the file is downloaded locally. How can I view the PDF in the
browser?

[xwiki-users] Tagging user to get their attention.

2017-03-05 Thread Oliver Angélil

Is it possible to do this on a page to alert a user if you would like to
get them to view some page/comment? I.e. this is a useful feature on
Facebook, but then I guess most of don't use Facebook. ;)

Thanks,
Oliver

Re: [xwiki-users] Tagging user to get their attention.

2017-03-06 Thread Oliver Angélil

I feel it would be extremely handy to be able to tag someone's name in the
xwiki and the next time that person logs in, he/she will be notified and
directed to the page/comment where that happened. Perhaps a feature request
:)

Thanks,
Oliver

Re: [xwiki-users] Tagging user to get their attention.

2017-03-08 Thread Oliver Angélil

Hi Vincent,

This is getting closer to what I had in mind but not exactly. What I am
suggesting is the ability to tag a user's name anywhere on the xwiki\. It
would work as follows:

   - type "@"
   - a dropdown menu appears with all usernames
   - select a username
   - that user will then be notified that his/her name has been mentioned,
   with the link the the location of the mention.

For example I could write in the comment section:
"John, should we meet tomorrow to discuss this page?"

The tagged name "John" could appear in a different colour being a link to
his profile; and he will somehow be notified of this comment when he logs
in. Without this feature, he may not notice my comment.

Thanks,
Oliver
