asyd - (26/06/2008 09:34): hmm
asyd - (26/06/2008 09:35): I changed the default theme to the dodo one, but now I'm not able to find the page to change theme. And If I hit admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences i just have "hello"
asyd - (26/06/2008 11:18): hmm there is something I don't understand with the ldap authentication mechanism
asyd - (26/06/2008 11:18): xwiki.authentication.ldap.bind_DN are used to authenticate the user ? or it's only the binddn/password use to query the ldap, to then use user's credentials
asyd - (26/06/2008 11:28): why you proceed a compareRequest on the userPassword attribute? it's very strange
asyd - (26/06/2008 11:30): ah my  bad, I was using the old implementation
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:33): Hello
asyd - (26/06/2008 11:33): hello _steffen_ 
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:38): vmassol: Yesterday we have talked about the new administration interface. Where is it?!? :)
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:38): hi _steffen_ 
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:39): have you installed 1.5M2?
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:39): vmassol: Sure.
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:39): _steffen_: then just click on the administration button in the action menu bar
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:39): And now, the documentation link located in the upper right corner has changed to administration.
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:39): Ok.
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:39): yes
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:39): So there is only import displayed?
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:39): no
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:39): that's because you have an empty wiki
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:40): you haven't imported the XE XAR
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:40): Nope. About 100 documents inside my wiki.
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:40): ok so can you tell me what you've done to isntall it?
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:41): (maybe we have a pb with upgrades?)
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:42): i've downloaded xwiki-enterprise-1.5-milestone-2.war from xwiki.org, moved my old xwiki directory out of way and created a new one, where I've extracted the downloaded file.
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:42): After this, I've setup hibernate.cfg.xml and xwiki.cfg to fit my old setup.
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:42): jvdrean: we need your help
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:42): jvdrean: hi btw ;)
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:43): And I've edited web.xml for UTF-8 support.
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:43): In older versions, this way has worked for me without problems.
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:43): yes that's the way to do it
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:43): away for 5 Minutes.
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:43): jvdrean: you there?
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:44): vmassol: yep
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:44): _steffen_ is trying 1.5M2 to give us feedback on the new admin
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:44): however we have our first problem
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:44): he can only see the Import feature un the admin
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:44): s/un/in
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:45): he's just changed the WAR
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:45): that's the behavior when the admin app is not installed
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:45): ok then I'd suggest that 1) we explain it in the release notes 
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:46): and 2) maybe display an info box when the admin app is not installed, telling the user to install it?
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:46): actually I was planning 2) for RC
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:46): wdyt ?
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:46): 1) is required too 
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:46): both are required IMO
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:47): there's also a 3) option, idea default settings causes me not to delete the old admin templates on the svn
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:47): so we could even display the old admin if the new admin app is not installed
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:47): in 1.5
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:49): btw do we still have the old rights mgmt ui too?
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:49): I think I'd go with the 3 options: 1) + 2) + 3) and create a jira task for 1.6 to remove the old admin templates
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:50): _steffen_: so you need to import the new Admin app in the default XE XAR.
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:51): jvdrean: how is it named? (this new admin app)
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:51): Administration Application
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:51): I mean int he XAR
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:51): how will steffen know what to import
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:51): ?
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:51): http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/AdministrationApplication
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:51): ok
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:52): do you confirm it's also in the default XE XAR?
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:52): there are several pages : Admin(.*)Sheet
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:52): I confirm
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:52): what's the space it's in?
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:52): XWiki
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:52): ok cool
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:52): I was going to say we need to secure it if it was in a new space
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:53): _steffen_: let us know once you've installed it
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:53): jvdrean: can you do 1) quickly so that users who install 1.5M2 are not lost?
vmassol - (26/06/2008 11:53): (well for those who read the release notes at least ;) )
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:55): vmassol: ok. Thanks
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:56): vmassol: sure
asyd - (26/06/2008 11:56): ouah !
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:56): A note on installing the administration app on the page mentioned by jvdrean would be good, I think.
asyd - (26/06/2008 11:56): the new admin ui seem very nice
asyd - (26/06/2008 11:56): nice job guys
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:57): thanks
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:58): I'm not able to import the administration app.
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:58): ouch, what does import says ?
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:58): After uploading it into xwiki, it's displayed as with other files in old version, but I can't select it for import.
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 11:59): nothing happens when you click on the xar in the list ?
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 11:59): jvdrean: Yes, but only in Firefox 3.
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 12:00): In Konqueror 4 it's working.
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 12:00): I think it's a cache issue
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 12:00): with JS
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 12:00): jvdrean: Will check.
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 12:01): jvdrean: After closing Firefox and open it up again, it's still not working. It's working in Konqueror and Internet Explorer.
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 12:02): try ctrl + shift + r on the import page
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 12:02): jvdrean: Works. Thanks.
vmassol - (26/06/2008 12:02): jvdrean: another thing to mention in the release notes?
jvdrean - (26/06/2008 12:03): actually you have to clear your cache to see the new logo too
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 12:03): looks good. Now it is working. Will play a little.
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 12:04): One thing: "Show the available categories" is underlined (the text on the button). On other buttons, this is not the case...
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 12:06): Nice work. Seems more user-friendly than the old one.
vmassol - (26/06/2008 12:06): jvdrean: on the home page of XE we have a link to http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Panels/PanelWizard?forceLeftPanels=1&forceRightPanels=1 but it doesn't display very nicely (look at the title for ex)
vmassol - (26/06/2008 12:07): I guess we have the same link on the Panels.webHome page too
_steffen_ - (26/06/2008 12:07): If I click on a new category after displaying them with "Show the available categories", the new page gets loaded and the categories are not shown anymore. Is this an expected behaviour?
vmassol - (26/06/2008 12:07): jvdrean: on Panels.WebHome it's a link to http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/admin/Panels/PanelWizard which doesn't go to the panel wizard page
vmassol - (26/06/2008 12:07): _steffen_: yes
vmassol - (26/06/2008 12:08): you don't like it? it's to have the full space for displaying the category data
