Problem with dots in titles [solved]

Help / Discuss
1

Hi there!

XWiki Version: XWiki Enterprise 8.2.1

We have a big issue with dots in the title. I try to explain that on an example:

  1. We create a new Page with a dot in the title: “Title.Something” - So far so good.
  2. Now we put a child blow: “Example child”

Result in navigation panel:

Title.Something

  • Userpage of user1 → link doesn’t work
  • Userpage of user1 → link doesn’t work
  • some other random page1 → link doesn’t work
  • some other random page2 → link doesn’t work
  • Userpage of user1 → link doesn’t work

There is no child “Example child” and Xwiki shows some random stuff that doesn’t exist on that path.

I think it is something like this Allowing “/” in page names

So, is there an equivalent or other solution for that problem?

hi, I tried your example and everything I tried was working. So you need to explain better what you mean since it’s hard to understand your message above.

For example WDYM by “Userpage of user1 → link doesn’t work”?

Why do you repeat twice the same thing above:

Regarding:

No I don’t think it’s related since “/” is a Tomcat security limitation that needs to be enabled.

So I’m using XWiki 10.1-SNAPSHOT and I cannot reproduce your problem ATM.

Since 8.2.1 is very old now, I’d suggest you upgrade or try to reproduce with XWiki 9.1.2 and tell us how it goes.

Thanks

Sorry for the multiple answers, but it wasn’t allowed to me to post more than one picture -.-
And yes, I wish I could force an update. But this isn’t one of my responsibilities :confused:

I followed your steps and I can’t reproduce on XWiki 10.0 so it may be a bug that was fixed in the mean time but I can’t tell in which version exactly. You should check with XWiki 8.4.6 (previous LTS) and XWiki 9.11.2 (current LTS).

@vmassol, @mflorea thank you very much for testing it.
I forwarded it to our server admin. Hopefully it results in an update. :slight_smile:

We have tested an update to version 9. There doesn’t exist that problem anymore. Thanks again for your time.
