Hi,
I'm feeling a little dumb at the moment since I expected doing the action I'm
struggling with to be so obvious as to be almost default, but I would
appreciate being pointed in the right direction. I have not found a specific
answer by searching the FAQ or this mailing list so maybe I'm experiencing
something abnormal or haven't configured something correctly.
In Xwiki workspaces after installation I get to the page:
The organization's space has not been created yet
As a member of the group of Administrators, you are allowed to create the
Organization's own workspace. Click the link below if you wish to create the
organization's own workspace.
Create the organization space $newspace.set("spacetype", "workspace")
Warning: You have not created your personal space yet.
http://myserverip:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?section=OrganizationSpace
and I see:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Show the available categories
* General
* Workspaces
* Users
* Groups
$newspace.set("spacetype", "workspace") $newspace.set("spacetype", "workspace")
Click on this button if you wish to create your organisation's space. The
organisation's space includes every user on this XWiki Workspaces. It features
a blog, a wiki, a file manager and a photo album. You may want to create it if
you wish to publish information meant to address all your users at once.
Define your new workspace's basic settings
Space name
Mandatory - You can enter up to 50 more characters for your new space title :
$newspace.display("displayTitle","edit")

below :

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Its not clear to me how to create this Organization Space.
Apparently the above is giving me the syntax I can use, but where is it entered?
It doesnt appear to be as simple as clicking on the button 'Create the space'
because that does nothing for me. I can see the browser showing the ip of the
xwiki server when I click but I get no feedback from the server telling me
there's a problem or even that it received my mouse click.
Then higher up on the page there's some text with a light bulb which states
Click on this button if you wish to create your organisation's space. Well I
don't see any suitable button near this text only a button much further down
the page - the one I described above.
To get to this point I installed Ubuntu 8.10 server in a VM, added Java 6,
Tomcat 6, Postgresl8.3 and setup the xwiki database and
xwiki-enterprise-web-1.8.war in the container and also loaded
xwiki-enterprise-wiki-1.8.xar default pages. I can login as Admin, create new
users, groups, import the Word addin, etc but didnt see much in the way of user
workspaces, so then loaded xwiki-workspaces-wiki-1.2-milestone-1.xar which duly
overwrote some of the existing enterprise xar default pages and I logged in as
the default Admin user.
I'm not getting any errors reported, everything appears to be working, but
despite rummaging around the xwiki website I havent found any comprehensive
admin doc that explain the way forward for a 1st time admin/user. e.g.
http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ tells me hardly
anything. I am using Firefox 3.07 both on localhost Ubuntu and remote client
Windows to access XWiki. As far as I can tell Firefox is not blocking any pages
from loading. I also tried IE7, same results.
After failing with the above I guessed that maybe the plugin to do this wasnt
loaded by default, so from rummaging I guessed that
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Plugins/SpaceManagerPlugin
might do the trick, so I did:
* Copy xwiki-plugin-spacemanager-1.1.jar to Tomcat-Xwiki's WEB-INF/lib
directory
* Edit WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg file
I added
com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.spacemanager.impl.SpaceManagerImpl
to the plugins list
* Restart your XWiki instance
Restarted Tomcat6
Made no difference.
I'm running out of ideas here.
What method *should* I be doing to create the Org space and then obviously
following on from this the user sub-spaces?
Thanks
Cheers
