     The installation instructions are useless. How about writing a shell script to do the installation instead of guessing what order or what packages to install? How about step 1, step 2, step3, etc. The installation instructions are all over the board. I can't figure out if I need three SQL Servers or just MariaDB or just mySQL or just PostGREsql or if all of them are needed. I can' t tell if I need tomcat if I use jetty. The instructions are just bad.

     In version 15.8 (Linux) it is not that easy to add code as a block of text. For that I need to dig into the source of a page. I don't mind doing that, as xWiki syntax is very easy to follow. But if it would be a 'nice-to-have' if this was part of the GUI editor.
     I really do like xWiki so much more than any other wiki solution I used (BlueSpice can't hold a candle against your product). Not much of a Confluence fan either. xWiki, in combination with OpenSearch and LibreOffice, is a very solid and dependable product.

     Being able to sort Nested pages by dragging and dropping them from the menu bar. Copy/pasting (or drag and drop) images from computer should work. Currently, by doing so there are not saved in the DB.
     Thanks for this great open source project.

     Hard to say how to improve a user feeling, as everyone is different, I find it sometimes hard to find how to edit an article correctly AND find a correct stylesheet

     Realtime WYSIWYG Editor: This function is the one big feature that is still missing to replace Confluence with XWiki. I hope it works soon.

     a working "Realtime Collaborative Editor" (our developer could not succesfully integrate so far) default autosave better distinguished headings (text layout)
     Big thanks to erveryone for developing and keeping up XWiki! It's so useful to our project.

     Text edition could be a little richer (like Office Word) and tables are not easy at all to be used

     A) is it also possible to have docker instances for low-power computers like raspberry pi (arm / v7) I try to run services on as low power as possible. B) I still have a lot of content in twiki. However the twiki language support is quite slow. Is it also possible to convert to xwiki instead of stay on using twiki?
     Thanks for a great product. I use it every day for storing and organizing information als knowledge base and lookup. It is a great help.

     Code Macro doesnt seem to use a mono-spaced font by default, which is ming boggling to me. Code macro seems to get confused and produce multiple disconnected short lines quite frequently. inserting one should be bullet proof. if it offers two styles, it should make you choose the style, or offer a way to change styles in its editor, it should not be trying to auto-choose for me, as that inevitably chooses poorly.
     all in all, a great, simple to setup wiki! well done!

    Answer from Vincent Massol (XWiki Core Dev):

     The code macro does use a monospace font by default.
     The code macro can work inline and standalone.

     Improve documentation. I have been struggling with the error shown below for a long time and have not been able to find anything that shows how to fix it. "Unknown macro: notifications. Click on this message for details." , "The [notifications] macro is not in the list of registered macros. Verify the spelling or contact your administrator."
     Thanks for your hard work.

     Ways to link to gitlab

  • Sent 10.05.2023 18:36:03:

     1 - sometimes, a page/document IS an external document like a PDF or another file. In that case, users should only see the last version and the versioning of the page should be linked to versioning of the file.
     2 - copy control. In the cases users must print a page (to take to an offline worksite for example) it would be nice if the version was printed in it as well as some tag "controlled copy" so user knows it should check fi there is a new version once in a while. Maybe a Copy Control system, where every page printed results in a record of who printed, when and version. And it sends email to the person who printed it when new version is released, so he must destroy the old version copy.

     I often use tables I would like to see improvements there, some of which include table sorting, table formatting for altering cells, and table headers.
     Windows plugins to display Excel and other office products with the ability to edit within the wiki.

    Answer from Vincent Massol (XWiki Core Dev):

     For Excel and other MS formats, you could use the OnlyOffice Extension.

     To improve: More easy to configure, better overview of deeper admin actions

  • Sent 20.03.2023 13:55:02:

     I'm using the Docker version. Whenever there's an update, I find the upgrade wizard very confusing. Sometimes there are non-fatal errors. There are questions about plug-ins that I don't understand the consequences of. Generally, I don't like the upgrade experience.
     Even though I've got "remember me" checked on the login form, I still do get logged out from time-to-time. Then, the only way that I find out is when I go to edit a page and notice that the button is missing. I wish "remember me" would last forever and that if I was logged out that I would see a login page, instead of taking me to the wiki in read-only mode.

     Since I'm new to XWIKI may be the feature exists, I haven't gone through all der extensions yet. Anyway here it is: Let me call it "compliance tracker" Acting as a knowledge base within a company, certain know-how articles are a must read for a certain group within the company. Let's say a warehouse operator of a chemical company need to read an instruction what to do in a chemical incident. The wiki can provide the know-how article, but is it possible to let the warehouse operator actively confirm, e.g. with a button, to confirm he has read the instructions. And second, to report, who in the group has already read the instructions and who has not. Another example would be an onboarding of a new employee. Thank you.
     I think it is a mature and very helpful pice of software and it was a lot of work. I'm glad about it exists ;-) Keep on doing such great effort! Thank You !!!

    Answer from Vincent Massol (XWiki Core Dev):

     There's no OOB extension that does this but it's quite easy to implement with XWiki (which is very extensible and made to implement this type of features). Please post on the XWiki forum and we shall be able to help you out by explaining how to implement it. If you don't have technical skills, you could contact one of the companies sponsoring the development of XWiki and sponsor the feature.
     EDIT: A forum post has been made!

     @XWiki @xwikiorg It's been a while since I've frequented the room, but figured I would at least stop by real quick on here and let folks know -- XWiki is *still* the hill I will die on when it comes to Wiki software.  Nothing else compares.
