Re: [xwiki-users] XOffice not downloading pages, missing attachments
The killer feature is that normal users can create a document and copy-paste screenshots into a wiki document. That cannot be done with (almost) any web wiki editor I can find at present. Every person we showed it to loved it, and was willing to try editing a document on the wiki. Everyone we talked to about editing a wiki document via the web interface was simply not interested. We work with people who have almost no free time and are not interested in learning yet another program (ie web-wiki)... They know MS Word well, they are already read to write content. I don't understand why you aren't pushing this simple but powerful component more. I don't see it mentioned on wikipedia, or wikimatrix. I think if you made sure xoffice worked, and let people know it existed, then more people would use xwiki. Its a killer feature and I don't understand why its not on billboards on the sides of freeways.

If you use MS Office for advanced content, you will have issues pushing that content to the wiki anyway. I created XOffice a few years ago, when MS Office was a lot more dominant and web editors were still weak(including the one used by XWiki), but the situation is quite different now. Indeed there was no development on it for the past year. If you have critical issues with XOffice, it may be one of the following: - you are using a localized version of Office or Windows (there are older known issues with those) - there is a conflict with newer XWiki versions. The MS Office and Windows behavior and security settings are different for versions released on other languages. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's the way it is. I've been receiving quite a few requests for a new release. However I could only do some bug fixing only for the En/En environment, since it's a pain to test and fix other versions.

The only alternative would be someone stepping up and willing to work on it and ensure it works with latest XWiki Enterprise versions. See that we have nobody active on it, we could throw a vote to grandfather that person as an XOffice committer so that he/she can easily work on it.

I would post a bug to JIRA if it were a single problem, but it appears that xoffice is fundamentally broken as I can't go longer than 30 seconds without hitting a road block.

Re: [xwiki-users] xoffice install not working
Hi Aaron, Thanks for that link, I did not see that page at all. I notice that the link on the Install guide is pointing to xoffice 1.0. I find that the xoffice part of the website very confusing : To get to the 1.1 version, I googled xoffice download which takes me here: http://xoffice.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome Which has a link to here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download#HXWikiOffice note that the anchor doesn't seem to work, there are two links for xoffice, the first takes me back to WebHome (infinite loop), the second is the last link on the page, and takes me here: http://xoffice.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Repository/WebHome#HLatestSnapshots which doesn't have an install guide link, but does have version 1.1 mixed up with the rest. So anyway, I now have it installed, but there seem to be lots of problems which I'll address in another email. thanks!

(I think I found it via the Document Index and scanning hundreds of docs in the XWiki space) XWiki.Import page is not part of the standard XAR. I don't have it on a fresh XE 3.1. Moreover, the XARs I import are attached to XWiki.XWikiPreferences page so for me the Import administration section is synchronized with http://host/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?viewer=attachments XWiki.Import page is either from your previous XE 2.6 (which you said you upgraded to 3.1) or was created by an application (extension) that you have installed on top of 3.1. Hope this helps, Marius I started with a blank web folder and extracted 3.1... How can I find out where it came from? The pages are not saved on the file system but in the database. So if you haven't modified your DB when you upgraded you still have the same data there. You could just delete the XWiki.Import page IMO. Shouldn't this have been handled by the Migration thing? Ideally yes but that's not implemented at the moment. We're introducing the notion of extension manager to manager extensions and as part of it there'll be a notion of an application (ie a set of pages) and when an app is installed or upgraded it'll have the ability to run some script. I am struggling with a similar design issue in one of my projects. I am currently thinking along the lines that: * If there are a set of pages, keep them bundled together - don't unwrap them. The moment you unwrap them, and someone modifies a page, then you can't upgrade the package without stomping on the changes. * Allow pages to be extracted if the user really wants to hack. * Don't store configuration within pages that are part of an upgrade. Instead, separate structure and data, and put the data in a configuration file (or a configuration page that is NOT EVER overwritten during an upgrade). Then, if there is an upgrade, add a mechanism to upgrade the configuration file IF REQUIRED. How can I find other pages are lingering? You could compare the two XARs using either http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/XAR+Diff+Application or the Admin Tools which reuse this XAR Diff app code (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/AdminTools). urgh What I did was Imported and opened the latest 3.1.xar to see the contents. What I found interesting is that there are a lot of pages (eg Blog.BlogParameters) that are not listed in the Blog-Space-Index Are these pages? How does one see the hidden pages? thanks Paul I checked those diff tools... one of them says only for developers!! you must modify your webhome page so I avoided that one. I tried the AdminTools one, but both the Diff tools don't work. The velocity-based one fails with a StringIndex = -1 and the groovy one just shows the code, it doesn't actually run. I tried to put the code into a page to make it go, but that didn't seem to work either. ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hi guys, I installed the Admin Tools plugin http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/AdminTools And found that half the stuff didn't work anyway. Regardless, carrying on, I am hoping the User Rights tool will be helpful, however it can't seem to check the most important user: the Unregistered User And what is worse, I discovered by accident that the Unregistered User can access the space! For example, an unregistered user can access the /xwiki/Admin/RunQuery page, which could be used to run queries directly on the database, for example select * from xwikipreferences Does this give anyone else a heart attack too?? WHY is there no default cannot view unless admin says so mode? This is a problem with all of my spaces. When I create a space, I want to then have to go and ALLOW people to access it. Not open by default, that is much harder to configure. Can someone please look at rights management, it seems to be insecure by default, and makes me scared. thanks.

I can only tell I have a problem when I start getting can't parse vm whatever code messages in the webbrowser. I'm not sure if this is a memory leak issue... I found that repeatedly clicking Export (in export-PDF) would increase the resident memory (in linux) all the way up from maybe 130mb to 1008mb (the virtual memory size) in jumps of over 50mb.

[xwiki-users] Empty Trash Can extension doesn't work
Hi, I couldn't even backup my sql database anymore because there are large pages (with attachments) in the recycle bin -- at least thats what I gathered from the mysqldump error message: mysqldump: Error 2020: Got packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes when dumping table `xwikirecyclebin` at row: 45 I will have to adjust the max package size (again), but I want to move to file-system attachments.

I found this extension: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Empty+Trash+Bin I installed the Groovy Console and copy-pasted the code into the box, and clicked Execute... and nothing happened. I looked at the code, and executed the sql command directly in mysql: select distinct ddoc.fullName from XWikiDeletedDocument as ddoc where not exists (from XWikiDocument as doc where doc.fullName=ddoc.fullName); But it doesn't work - invalid SQL. I adjusted it to: select distinct ddoc.fullName from XWikiDeletedDocument as ddoc where not exists (select doc.fullName from XWikiDocument as doc where doc.fullName=ddoc.fullName); but it says XWikiDeletedDocument doesn't exist anymore.

I would guess not, since you turned off comments on your WebHome page. I find it very scary how easy it is to leave doors and windows open. I can shut the doors I find open, but I have no way of confirming that I have closed all the doors, especially the back doors that I do not know about (eg whatever is in the XWiki space) cheers Paul Hi Paul, well you can make a philosophy out of what information should be allowed and restricted ... As for shept.org as an open source project I'm pretty fine with the current setup. I get regular notifications about what's beeing changed and should there be some offending stuff there's always the option to delete it. I'm running other XWiki sites with more restricted rights. My approach for getting more confidence about security settings was studying the server logs and understanding what the robots find out. Of course you can also do the same before going public with some site-copy tool ... ciao Andreas In your secure wikis, did you check this page: http://shept.org/docs/XWiki/Import#Attachments An Unregistered, un-logged on user can download any .xar that you have uploaded and imported... which means if you have imported content from eg another wiki, then the user could download the .xar and load all of your content onto his own xwiki instance, and see all of your secured content. I'm not happy about allowing View access on the entire XWiki space, there are a lot of things in there that probably shouldn't be accessible ... but its hard to tell ! ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[xwiki-users] Import confusion
Hi again, I wanted to delete all the packages I had uploaded for Import. If I go through the XWikiPreferences -- Import, I can't see any packages... the link is: http://HOST/xwiki/import/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globaladminsection=Import However, if I go to this page (which I can't remember how I got there): http://host/xwiki/import/XWiki/Import?editor=globaladminsection=Import I can see a dozen packages that I uploaded. Whats the difference between these two imports, and how do I get to the second one without knowing the link beforehand?

[xwiki-users] Bug in Filesystem Attachment Porter
Hi again, I tried to transfer all my attachments to the filesystem with the script: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Filesystem+Attachment+Porter#Attachments which IS a core extension (at least developed by the dev team). I'm using jetty, and it fails with this error: /var/cache/jetty/tmp/work/storage/xwiki/XWiki/XWikiSyntax/~this/attachments/img.png/img.png~tmp (Too many open files) I found that jetty had many many open files - it had created and left open the handle on hundreds of files in /var/cache/jetty/data/upload__* Was this tested against a full sized wiki? My wiki isn't very big at all yet, maybe a few dozen pages at the most. Does this happen on a tomcat server? Maybe noone checked it on jetty? Seems like leaving the handle open isn't a scalable solution ... I'm looking at the code for the script, I'd like to fix it somehow... Can someone please give me a tip? cheers Paul ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[xwiki-users] file attachments deleted when jetty restarts
Hi all, I guess there is some trick that I'm not aware of... I have switched to file databases (but cannot copy the existing ones to the filesystem yet, due to problems discussed in another email). When I upload a file, it is created on the filesystem here: /var/cache/jetty/tmp/work/storage/xwiki/Website+Admin/attachment+porter/~this/attachments /var/cache/jetty/tmp/work/storage/xwiki/Website+Admin/attachment+porter/~this/attachments/myrightstoadmin.png /var/cache/jetty/tmp/work/storage/xwiki/Website+Admin/attachment+porter/~this/attachments/myrightstoadmin.png/~METADATA.xml /var/cache/jetty/tmp/work/storage/xwiki/Website+Admin/attachment+porter/~this/attachments/myrightstoadmin.png/myrightstoadmin~v1.1.png /var/cache/jetty/tmp/work/storage/xwiki/Website+Admin/attachment+porter/~this/attachments/myrightstoadmin.png/myrightstoadmin.png but, when i do /etc/init.d/jetty stop it deletes that entire /var/cache/jetty/tmp folder ! Seems obvious to me that since its called /tmp, it means its for temporary storage. So when I start jetty up again, the file attachments cannot be found. Design flaw? Where do I configure the location of the file attachments? Theres nothing in the documentation. cheers Paul ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hi all,
I want to change the primary space name from Main to Public to make

I've tried changing every mention of Main to Public in the WEB-INF
directory, restarting jetty and refreshing the webbrowser, and STILL it
redirects to Main.
I've adjusted web.xml, portlet.xml, struts-config.xml, xwiki.cfg
is this hard-coded into XWiki?
I'm not able to answer your question but why not create a new space
Public and redirect calls to the default space to there?
Simply put this in your Main.WebHome...
{{velocity}}
$response.sendRedirect($xwiki.getURL('Public.WebHome'))
{{/velocity}}
Of course this not solved your doubt, but could be used as a workaround.
I've tried to use xwiki.defaultweb to set a different space when the URL
doesn't include one and it doesn't work for me either (XE
2.7-SNAPSHOT.33223)
Hi Richard,
I saw that tip, the reason I don't want to do that is because now you have a
space that exists only to do redirects...
AND worse, I'm using ShortURLs, which means domain.com/Public is condensed
down to the URL domain.com/ ... which due to the problem/bug, renders the
Main/WebHome page instead of Public/WebHome, which redirects to Public which
condenses down and... etc I think I ends up with a redirect loop.

Still more problems,
I just created a new space (called space to delete - i'm trying to figure
out how to delete a space, is it enough to just delete all of the content?
do i need to delete something else to clear the Rights settings for the
space out of the database?)
Then, first problem, I noticed on the Recent Changes section of the front
page that the space was created 6 hours ago. Is this a UTC/GMT thing? But
that doesn't make any sense either, because local time is 2pm, UTC is
earlier at 6am.
So I went across to check Timeline, and it gave me the v1 is null error
again.
I watched in Firebug and identified that point of failure, see attached
screenshots.
In short, it checks typeof v1 == object before it calls n1=v1.getTime()
HOWEVER, when v1 is null, v1 is also an object! So this test is invalid.
Yes, this is a fault with the timeline javascript, however why is there
null date/times being passed to the javascript in the first place?
thanks
Paul
I discovered the source of this problem...
Timeline requests this document:
http://domain.com/xwiki/Website+Admin/Timeline?action=xmlxpage=plainoutputSyntax=plainchangesNb=200
And this is the top of the response (from Firebug):
?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?
data
event start=9 Dec 2010 05:49:44 GMT end=9 Dec 2010 05:49:44 GMT
isDuration=false title=Setting up the feature Import in whatever
When converted to XML, there is a parser error:
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location:
moz-nullprincipal:{fa165dd4-2c64-4d46-bc4f-d1764daf2b60} Line Number 3,
Column 112:
...4 GMT isDuration=false title=Setting up the feature Import...
...-^
So, this is not handling the case where the title of the page has a in it.
There was another email today about a page with a / in the name, eg
up/down
it sounds like XWiki is not escaping the names of the pages in all the
places it should be.
I managed to fix it this time, i added an escape-xml call in this line:
event start=$rcDoc.date.toGMTString() end=$rcDoc.date.toGMTString()
isDuration=false title=$escapetool.xml($rcDoc.getDisplayTitle())
I'm fiddling with the size of fonts etc now, once thats done I'll adjust the
wiki page about it

Checking the website logs reveals a boat load of errors, I've attached them in a text file. I can't see how XWord could do things better... its asking the xwiki for the correct syntax, and its passing valid html. ideas?

This is totally wrong for me. I'm using xwiki + Jetty + lighttpd on
Debian stable/testing.
The correct entry into web.xml is to add:
servlet-mapping

url-pattern/skins/*/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
in addition to:
servlet-mapping
servlet-nameaction/servlet-name
url-pattern/*/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
It would also help if someone wrote WHERE to put these things in the
web.xml file. I guessed, and it appears to work.
Further to this, I discovered this fix does not work, as the
/resources/*
mapping seems to conflict with the *.gwtrpc mapping (mentioned in
another
email).
When you Create A Link in the wysiwyg editor, it POSTs to:
/resources/js/xwiki/wysiwyg/xwe/HTMLConverter.gwtrpc
how do I set up my web.xml file so that both the static resources, and
these apparently dynamic resource are able to both work?
Please help, this is very frustrating.
Ok, I have a solution that works for me.
HOWEVER, it will only work if ALL of the gwtrpc requests will be to urls
such as
domain.com/resources/blah/blah/file.gwtrpc
In the default XE distribution the WYSIWYG editor is the only one making
GWT-RPC calls and they all go to *.gwtrpc URLs so you're safe.
This is the way I could have done it, if I had known where to put that
java
code etc:
http://www.kuligowski.pl/java/rest-style-urls-and-url-mapping-for-static-content-apache-tomcat,5
The fundamental problem is due to the limited power of servlet mapping
rules.
ANY mapping to *.gwtrpc will not work if there is a /* mapping or a
/resource/* mapping, as file extensions are always the lowest priority.
So, instead of going the java-path, I used lighttpd since I am using it
anyway.
My new lighttpd rules are:
$HTTP[host] =~ ^www\.domain\.com$ {
# ensure all requests for .gwtrpc files go through
$HTTP[url] =~ \.gwtrpc$ {
proxy.server = ( = (( host = 127.0.0.1, port = 8080
)))
}
# otherwise, we can handle the static resources
else $HTTP[url] =~ ^/resources/ {
alias.url += ( /resources =
/usr/share/jetty/webapps/root/resources )
}
# otherwise, we can handle the static resources
else $HTTP[url] =~ ^/skins/ {
alias.url += ( /skins =
/usr/share/jetty/webapps/root/skins )
}
# and here is the primary server
else $HTTP[host] =~ ^www\.domain\.com$ {
proxy.server = ( = (( host = 127.0.0.1, port = 8080
)))
}
}
else $HTTP[host] =~ \.domain\.com$ {
url.redirect = ( ^/(.*) = http://www.domain.com/$1; )
server.name = www.domain.com
}
else $HTTP[host] =~ domain\.com$ {
url.redirect = ( ^/(.*) = http://www.domain.com/$1; )
server.name = www.domain.com
}
so lighttpd will serve static content from resources and skins, EXCEPT if
it
ends with .gwtrpc
THEN in web.xml: I change the gwtrpc mapping to:
servlet-mapping
servlet-namegwtrpc/servlet-name
url-pattern/resources/*/url-pattern
url-pattern/skins/*/url-pattern
/servlet-mapping
because we know that anything that makes it past lighttpd in the
resources
or skins folder MUST be a gwtrpc file.
AND then I do not need the skins/resources mappings (that I mentioned

please put this up on the wiki for ShortUrls, it might save someone like

If I remove the ShortURL adjustments (for bin in particular) that I talked about in a prev email, then it works. It seems that /resources is both a static path, and also used for redirecting to *.gwtrpc files. my addition of /resources as a static path seemed to stuff things up. So does it work now with your new lighttpd configuration?

[xwiki-users] View rights and Edit rights... and some weird stuff
Hi again, I wanted to protect my Website Admin from any non-admins, So I edited the Rights to that space, and clicked the 'View' button on 'XWikiAllGroup' until it was a red cross. Then I checked in the other webbrowser (logged in as a regular user), and sure enough, I couldn't view the page. However, I then went to this address: http://domain.com/xwiki/edit/Website+Admin/ and the regular user was able to edit the page! which also includes a 'Preview' button, which shows them a View! not good. then it gets weirder, in a different way. So far, as regular user, I've gone to Edit, then clicked Preview, and now I clicked the back button, and I notice the status bar is going to my redirect.com website... I have set up my webserver (lighttpd), so that if anyone tries to go to http://domain.com/ then it'll redirect to http://redirect.com - that way noone can see the site until I am ready to make it live. The site currently lives at http://domain.com/xwiki So for some reason, going to Preview and back again has generated URLs that are missing the xwiki part of the URL. So anyway, I watch the page, and the usual Edit page reappears correctly, but the CONTENT in the Edit window is wrong. I am able to do this over and over again in Chrome, but not in Firefox. If I go to Preview, then clear the Cache, and then hit the back button (on browser, in Chrome), then I get a lot more rubbish in the Edit window: plt;pgt;amp;lt;pamp;gt;amp;lt;!lt;delgt;startwikilink:false|-|doc|-|Timelinelt;/delgt;amp;gt;amp;lt;span class=wikilinkamp;gt;amp;lt;a href=/xwiki/Website+Admin/Timelineamp;gt;amp;lt;span class=wikigeneratedlinkcontentamp;gt;Timelineamp;lt;/spanamp;gt;amp;lt;/aamp;gt;amp;lt;/spanamp;gt;amp;lt;!lt;delgt;stopwikilinklt;/delgt;amp;gt;amp;lt;/pamp;gt;amp;lt;pamp;gt;amp;lt;br class=spaceramp;gt;amp;lt;/pamp;gt;amp;lt;pamp;gt;amp;lt;!lt;delgt;startwikilink:false|-|url|-|lt;!delstartwikilink:false|-|url|-|! startwikilink:false|-|url|-|http://yahoo.com-\span class=wikiexternallinka class=wikimodel-freestanding href= http://yahoo.com-;span class=wikigeneratedlinkcontenthttp://yahoo.com- /span/a/span!stopwikilink\-\/delgt;lt;span class=wikiexternallinkgt;lt;a class=wikimodel-freestanding href=! startwikilink:false|-|url|-|http://yahoo.com-\-\span class=wikiexternallinka class=wikimodel-freestanding href= http://yahoo.com--;span class=wikigeneratedlinkcontent http://yahoo.com--/span/a/span!stopwikilinkgt;lt;span class=wikigeneratedlinkcontentgt;!startwikilink:false|-|url|-| http://yahoo.com-\-\span class=wikiexternallinka class=wikimodel-freestanding href=http://yahoo.com--;span class=wikigeneratedlinkcontenthttp://yahoo.com--/span/a/span! stopwikilinklt;/spangt;lt;/agt;lt;/spangt;lt;!delstopwikilink/delgt;amp;gt;amp;lt;span class=wikiexternallinkamp;gt;amp;lt;a href=lt;!delstartwikilink:false|-|url|-|!startwikilink:false|-|url|-| http://yahoo.com-\-\span class=wikiexternallinka class=wikimodel-freestanding href=http://yahoo.com--;span class=wikigeneratedlinkcontenthttp://yahoo.com--/span/a/span! stopwikilinkgt;lt;span class=wikiexternallinkgt;lt;a class=wikimodel-freestanding href=!startwikilink:false|-|url|-| http://yahoo.com--span class=wikiexternallinka class=wikimodel-freestanding href=http://yahoo.com;span class=wikigeneratedlinkcontenthttp://yahoo.com/span/a/span! stopwikilinkgt;lt;span class=wikigeneratedlinkcontentgt;! startwikilink:false|-|url|-|http://yahoo.com--span class=wikiexternallinka class=wikimodel-freestanding href= http://yahoo.com;span class=wikigeneratedlinkcontenthttp://yahoo.com /span/a/span!stopwikilinklt;/spangt;lt;/agt;lt;/spangt;lt;!

[xwiki-users] Parse error when calling xmlrpc
Hi again, I'm investigating the problem with Publishing via XWord (with images), and it appears to be a problem with XWiki rather than XWord * Edit Sandbox Test Page1 in XWord * Clear entire document with ctrl-a, delete * Insert an image * Click Publish I hacked XWord a bit so I could see what it was doing. in XWikiXMLRPCClient.cs around line 220 in method SavePageHTML(), it does this: page.content = proxy.Convert(token, page.content, xhtml/1.0, syntax); lets break it down... proxy.Convert calls: /// summary /// Converts a wiki source from a syntax to another syntax. /// /summary /// param name=tokenThe authentication token./param /// param name=sourceThe content to be converted./param /// param name=initialSyntaxIdThe initial syntax of the source./param /// param name=targetSyntaxIdThe final syntax of the returned content./param /// returnsThe converted source./returns [XmlRpcMethod(confluence1.convert)] String Convert(String token, String source, String initialSyntaxId, String targetSyntaxId); Looking on the webserver logs, I see a call to xmlrpc I hacked XWord a little so it told me what page.content originally was... this is what was sent to xmlrpc div class=WordSection1 p span !--startimage:image001.png-- img width=236 height=158 src=image001.png alt=demo_image.png / !--stopimage-- /span /p /div so thats very simple. I've checked with another document that just contains text, and what proxy.Convert() will return is the wiki-code equivalent of the HTML that it was given. HOWEVER, with this as the input, the xmlrpc call NEVER returns - the dialog box stays stuck, and I know it never returns as i asked a messagebox to appear after the call, which never appears. Checking the website logs reveals a boat load of errors, I've attached them in a text file. I can't see how XWord could do things better... its asking the xwiki for the correct syntax, and its passing valid html. ideas?

Re: [xwiki-users] Timeline and snippets
Still more problems, I just created a new space (called space to delete - i'm trying to figure out how to delete a space, is it enough to just delete all of the content? do i need to delete something else to clear the Rights settings for the space out of the database?) Then, first problem, I noticed on the Recent Changes section of the front page that the space was created 6 hours ago. Is this a UTC/GMT thing? But that doesn't make any sense either, because local time is 2pm, UTC is earlier at 6am. So I went across to check Timeline, and it gave me the v1 is null error again. I watched in Firebug and identified that point of failure, see attached screenshots. In short, it checks typeof v1 == object before it calls n1=v1.getTime() HOWEVER, when v1 is null, v1 is also an object! So this test is invalid. Yes, this is a fault with the timeline javascript, however why is there null date/times being passed to the javascript in the first place? thanks Paul ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

See http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5554 . Starting with XE 2.5 image and link markers (the XHTML comments used by the rendering module) use the same syntax. Let me know if you need any help. Indeed, this could be the cause of the issue. I would have expected this behavior to be backwords compatible or having the old one deprecated for several XWiki versions as we receive this 'formated' XHTML trough public APIs. At this point the conversion will simply crash when used by an older client. IMO we should check the version of XE when XWord connects to it and if it's not compatible mention it. WDYT? XOffice already checks the XE version for several reasons. For this particular issue, I'd prefer to implement the fix it rather then saying it's incompatible. First thing to do until a release is done, is to at least document this on the wiki. The client relies on the XML-RPC and REST APIs which means that it should be compatible with the server as long as nothing changes in the API specs. I cannot confirm the exact cause of the issue yet. But based on the hint from Marius I could say that the xhtml parser should have accepted the old image marker for several versions. XML-RPC is a backwards compatible API, once we introduced the conversion methods, it means we commit to having them working properly across several XWiki versions. On the server side, in the rendering module, we have *voluntarily* broken several APIs. See the release notes for 2.5: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ReleaseNotesXWikiEnterprise25#HAPIBreakages I don't know how this can affect you (i.e how this can affect the XMLRPC module). But if you produce XHTML on the XOffice side and if this XHTML contains markers then the marker syntax has changed in 2.5.

I dunno why hsqldb was included in the windows installation file, but not in the .WAR... Read the description for each downloadable item from http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download#HXWikiEnterprise . The windows installation is a standalone package that includes a Jetty container and an HSQLDB database all set up. The war is generic package: A database also needs to be set up and configured. Hope this helps, Marius This does explain things, but it would be nice if something were added to the Upgrade page, since thats where I looked in order to upgrade... maybe something like if you are upgrading the default Windows Installed package, then use the windows.zip and copy the xwiki folder across, or something like that. What fooled me was that the upgrade page said it was better to extract it afresh rather than copy over the top, as you don't want old files lying around. This is still true, but it gave me the impression that the war would have everything needed. I'm not familiar with Java, containers and HSQLDB, so I wasn't aware of where these things lived - I did not know the hsqldb lib was in the same area that the WAR covered. Why not always distribute the hsqldb lib anyway? its just 1 file out of 83 ! thanks, I'm looking forward to learning more.

Re: [xwiki-users] Confusion over XWord versions
Hi Florin, I checked the RoadMap, it looks a bit out of date. Is there anyone working on XWord? This is a killer feature! I don't see any other wikis with this sort of feature. I am the main developer of XOffice, but its development hasn't seem much activity in the past months. There seem to be some issues when using XOffice with newer XWiki versions. These will be fixed in the future but I cannot give a clear date of the next release at this point as I am focusing on other XWiki SAS responsibilities. well you should be very proud of XOffice, my friends nearly fell out of their chair when they used it. you mean I can edit the wiki from within word? they love to cut and paste images into word, which is not as easy and quick to do via the wiki web interface. I hope you are able to spend some more time on XOffice :) thanks Paul ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[xwiki-users] Confusion over XWord versions
Hi all, I've been looking for a wiki that simple MS Office users can use. XWord is a brilliant idea and my friends jumped into it like ducks into a pond! The familiarity of the MS Word really helped break down the barriers of learning wikis. However, I am totally confused about what version of XWord should be installed. On the one hand, there is this version that I assume is old: http://xoffice.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/XWord/ the links point to IP addresses rather than a host name!! then there is two versions here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download#HXWikiOffice For XOffice 1.2 M1, the link points to XWord 1.0 For XOffice 1.1.1, the link points to XWord 1.1 so the Latest seems to give me an older version. I believe this is the one that I installed, and we have found problems with uploading images from XWord. We are going to try the other version, but now I'd like to know: where is version 1.2M1 ? Which one should I be using? I checked the RoadMap, it looks a bit out of date. Is there anyone working on XWord? This is a killer feature! I don't see any other wikis with this sort of feature. cheers Paul ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[xwiki-users] Problem with upgrading demo on windows
Hi, I installed xwiki-enterprise 2.5.0 but had problems. I followed the upgrade instructions and copied the two cfg files (which hadn't changed), but it complained it couldn't create a DBCP or whatever. So I looked around, and had a guess... I copied the file hsqldb-1.8.0.7.jar from WEB-INF/lib in the old xwiki to the new xwiki, and it started to work. I dunno why hsqldb was included in the windows installation file, but not in the .WAR... Could someone please at least update the wiki? thanks Paul ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users

[xwiki-users] Attachment sizes
Hi again, As you might be able to tell, we are trying out xwiki and on a learning curve. We hit the 10mb upload restriction and would like to increase it. We are using the windows-installer version of xwiki, 2.5.1. I tried to follow the instructions here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/Howtoincreasethemaximumattachmentsize But have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. I've gone to the Administration page in the xwiki but don't see anything that refers to Objects Could someone please post a screenshot or something? thanks Paul ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [xwiki-users] Attachment sizes
On 11 November 2010 13:51, Caleb James DeLisle calebdeli...@lavabit.comwrote: The first thing I should tell you is with the windows installer, all of the wiki is kept in ram so you adding large attachments will soon put you in a position of being unable to load the wiki and exporting (to move to a .war with a real database) will become very difficult. So you are saying, if I can't run the wiki, I won't be able to export it and thus can't move the server to a new platform? I assume, that once its running in a real database, I will not need to export it, but instead I can just use the normal database backup/restore right? That said, the page you want is http://yourwi.ki/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=object Expand the section called XWikiPreferences 1 and you should find the setting you are looking for. ok got it, seems to be 33mb limit. In a postgres database with 1024MB of ram, you will still find a limit around 50MB, something we are working to change. ouch, how can that be? thats nothing, I know people who want to upload multi-gigabyte files (rather than posting them on a DVD via snail mail). I wrote a little C++ cgi app with libcurl, and that uses a streaming technique so the data is streamed out to the http client, so it doesn't require any more ram than to load the index of files. Can't you do something similar in Java? Don't load the file off the harddisk, instead stream it from the harddisk/database. ___ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
