Hi xwiki developers! My employer (the University of Oslo, Norway) just asked me to implement the following in xwiki for use in a research project: - When viewing a blog entry, show a list of it's tags along with a link to that tags page. - On a tag page (/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Tags?tag=hotdog), make an input field that will be used for defining that tag, along with the list of the other docs with the same tag. - While editing a blog entry, enable the editing of tags at the same time. So my questions are: 1. I've done the first part writing veolcity code and an xwiki-plugin code. How can I ensure that this list is displayed for all blog entries, new and old? 2. How can I enable the editing of tags along with the editing of the actual text of a blog entry? 3. What kind of persistence (the xwiki db, some other db, xml etc) would be good to use for storing the definition of a tag? 4. It would be nice if I could somehow configure in these changes so I don't have to change so much of the actual xwiki source code and thus make updating to a newer version a lot harder. How can I go about doing this? Any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated! cheers :-) Thomas

uses cases for collaborative tools on top of xwiki

by ioana boureanu

Hi everyone, At http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Idea/UsecasesforCoW I have written the use cases of my project at XWiki. Please send me any remarks you might have about it. I am planning to implement most of the drawing functionalities with Dojo toolkit, but there are some problems with the differences between handling vectorial drawing in IE and mozilla (one uses vml, the other svg). If you have some advice for me in order to overcome these problems, please do not be reluctant in paying it to me. All the best. Ioana Boureanu

What version of XWiki are you using? AFAIK the oracle supports is working fine since 1.0 RC1 (I do know several users working happily with Oracle and XWiki). If you're using some old version I'd suggest you try with RC4. Now Oracle support has been tested only on Oracle Express 10g (see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/InstallationOracle), so maybe there's an issue there. Of course it's possible that there are still issues even on RC4. We would love to know about them and even better work with you to fix them. Thanks a lot -Vincent

[Vote] Remove Dodo out of the trunk

by Sergiu Dumitriu

Hi, Dodo has already been deprecated. Now it's time to decide when do we remove it from the trunk, as it's getting harder to maintain it. Since 1.1 is about having a better wiki, would it be OK to remove it in the 1.1 release? Or should we wait until 2.0? +1 to remove Dodo from the trunk. Thanks, Sergiu -- http://purl.org/net/sergiu

Re: [xwiki-dev] [VOTE] Release 1.0 - full polish translation

by Mariusz Olejnik

Hi Sergiu, No problem, translation patch: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1254 I am starting implementing XWiki in my company and I'm sure that I will make more patches (I'm Java programmer too, we use JBossSeam/Ajax4JSF/RichFaces + Oracle). Thanks, Mariusz >>> sergiu.dumitriu(a)gmail.com 20:46 2007-05-22 >>> Hi Mariusz, Don't be upset, the resource files are a complete mess right now. The focus in XWiki 1.0 was on creating a good functionality, which developers can use/adapt. The focus in 1.1 will be on creating high quality content/presentation. Refactoring the skin (and resources) is among the planned issues for 1.1. We'll probably need your help after the cleanup.

It's been too late for the past month already... Since we've entered the RC phase we've only included important bug fixes. In addition XWiki 1.0 is already staged and ready for being released on http:// www.xwiki.org/xwiki-1.0/. I'm just waiting for some confirmation all is fine and I'll upload it on ObjectWeb. However the good news is that you can use this properties file in your own installation for now and if you create the jira issue and if your patch is good (haven't checked yet) then we can include it in 1.1B1 which, again, is going to be released before end of may (that's in less than 2 weeks). Last we have a feature in xwiki for adding resource bundles in a xwiki page itself (http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/ InternationalizingApplications) so you could always use that for now till 1.1B1 is out.

As always, we're interested in contributions. If you're interested in participating to an open source project and working with a nice, friendly and open team, come help us. If you're a XWiki user, please add yourself on http://www.xwiki.org/ xwiki/bin/view/References/.

Re: [xwiki-dev] [VOTE] Release 1.0 - full polish translation

Hi, Is it too late to replace one static file ApplicationResources_pl.properties? I don't understand... I was in a hurry with it... it was a Hard Day's Night! Please consider this again, this is only translation - much better than previous (my too). Regards, Mariusz >>> vincent(a)massol.net 13:47:08 2007-05-22 >>> Hi Mariusz, Thanks but sorry, it's too late to include in 1.0. However could you please create a jira issue and attach your patch to it (as described on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Contributing)? We're going to release 1.1 B1 very soon (end of May) so your change could be in that release.
