[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Add JAR resource HTML extension in SX

by Jerome Velociter

Hello everybody, Right now with Skin eXtensions we can hit "jsx" and "ssx" action URLs to retrieve JavaScript and CSS files, that either comes from XObjects (the original SX idea) or from JAR resources (since SX 1.3). I'm playing with the idea of adding a new action that would return text/html, possibly available as JAR resource extension _only_. I explain below how I came to this need. This morning I gave some thoughts on the behavior the {{map}} macro should have when the Internet is not reachable, but the wiki is (any resemblance to actual facts is... not coincidental;)). The only alternative I found not to have the macro blocking the whole page loading until the HTTP requests gives up trying to get the library from the service provider (google, yahoo, etc.) is to have it being loaded in an iframe (and then display the map in that iframe, too). For this to happen however, I need to pass an URL to that iframe which will give the html needed (<script> tag for the library, <script> to consume the library, and probably a <div> container for the map itself, etc.) Since I work with the constraint of being to publish the macro as a jar only, I would like this HMTL file to be a resource file of my macro (otherwise, a simple wiki page called with "xpage=plain" would do the trick, obviously). Since ssx and jsx returns content type according to the resource they provide, we cannot use them for this purpose (and it would be hackish use anyway). Thus I propose we add a new action "hsx" for example, to return "text/html" content. This extension does not have much sense as a document extension (since we don't know where to inject the result, unless the new XClass has a "extension point" field but then it becomes somehow an IX class), so I it would be available only as JAR resource extension. Did I miss something there ? Sergiu what do you think ? Others ? Jerome.

[xwiki-devs] [Rendering] Refactoring Idea: JCR...

by Vincent Massol

Hi, One refactoring idea: we could probably replace our Block implementation by the JCR API. This would allow to benefit from already existing code (JackRabbit for ex) such as the query manager, navigation in the XDOM tree, etc. Pros: - less code to write - more powerful API - standard-based Cons: - Need to rewrite our Block implementation - more external dependencies (jackrabbit and what it draws) WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Resolving the mismatch between an xwiki page and a dav collection resource.

by Asiri Rathnayake

Hello Devs, In webdav view of xwiki, a wiki page (document) is represented by a webdav collection resource (somewhat like a directory). This collection resource is comprised of wiki.txt, wiki.xml, attachments & child pages. As you can see, there is a mismatch between these two concepts: without wiki.txt & wiki.xml (children), a wiki page (the parent) cannot exist, but this is the otherway around in a filesystem like structure. So a question arises, in webdav space what does it mean to delete a wiki page ? 1. We can treat deleting wiki.txt and/or wiki.xml as deleting the whole page. But deleting the parent when only the children were asked to be deleted is wrong. And most of the webdav clients go insane. 2. We can prohibit wiki.txt & wiki.xml being deleted (i.e. throw an exception). But this would prohibit users from deleting pages on some clients because they use a recursive delete procedure (i.e. delete children first and then delete the parent). When deleting children fails, the whole operation fails. 3. We can trick the clients to believe that the delete was a success (repport AOK) and continue like nothing went wrong. This way a recursive delete will succeed. But if the client re-request the resource just to make sure the delete was a success, the deleted wiki.xml and wiki.txt will appear again. Some clients indeed behave like this and they fail. This is the current approach we have taken. 4. We can put wiki.txt & wiki.xml inside the HttpSession object the first time we initialize a particular resource. This way, the deletes will succeed and even if the client re-validates the delete, those child resources will not appear again. This approach seems to prevent all of the above mentioned problems but again, we're using a hack. Also, this implies that a page (dav collection) can exist without wiki.txt & wiki.xml. I voting in favour of the 4th option. Do you see any other way to get around this mismatch ? Thanks. - Asiri [image: Asiri Rathnayake's Facebook profile]<http://www.facebook.com/people/Asiri_Rathnayake/534607921>

[xwiki-devs] [Rendering] Honor whitespaces in cells or not?

by Vincent Massol

Hi, Do we want to honor whitespaces in table cells or not? The main advantage of trimming them is to get aligned cell symbols. See http://www.wikicreole.org/wiki/Creole1.0#section-Creole1.0-Tables Right now we're honoring whitespaces (they are significant). If we want to be consistent with normal wiki text we should honor them since we're honoring spaces in wiki text. However we just need to agree that it won't be possible to get nicely aligned cell delimiters then. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Rendering] Refactoring Proposal

by Vincent Massol

Hi, I'd like to propose refactoring the Listener/Renderer classes for the following reasons: * too hard to write renderers since they're using a "streaming" API which makes it very difficult to have lookaheads * streaming api not required since we're using a XDOM object which "breaks" streaming anyway Thus I'm proposing to: * Remove Listener interface * Modify Renderer interface to have a single method: render(XDOM, WikiPrinter) * Rewrite existing Renderers and make them components (it would now be possible) I have brainstormed on this with Thomas Mortagne and we have both agreed that we don't see any problems with this since we absolutely need the XDOM object for: * ability to have macro priorities (TOC, Include macro, etc) and powerful transformations in general * ability to cache parsed content Let me know what you think quickly since I'd like to start the refactoring ASAP since it's a prerequisite for doing another refactoring (moving the XWikiXhtmlEscapeHandler to the XWikiSyntaxRenderer) which itself is required for solving this issue: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2851 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Translations : syntax to use (msg.get values) to internationalize pages

by Thomas Eveilleau

Hello, I'd like to work on translations of default XE pages (pages that are not internationalized yet) like Photos.WebHome, Main.Tags, Panels etc. In order to do things correctly I'd like to now the syntax I should use for the $msg.get values. What we have in a page like XWiki.XWikiUserSheet is : "platform.core.profile.firstname" for the firstname 1 ) Should I use the same syntax ("platform.core.tags.title" for the title of Main.Tags - if i keep my example) ? 2 ) Or should we use more scalable values (tomorrow we will have a core and applications on it : should we consider the Panels as an application and have something like "application.panel.panelname.element" ?). 3 ) Maybe that we also can use things like the fullname of a page in the value (to quickly identify it) and having something like : "appplication.panel.Panels.Search.title" I'm waiting for your advices on this (1 / 2 / 3 or another proposal). Thanks, Thomas Eveilleau

This is acceptable since 'colspan' is a structuring element rather than styling element. Then rowspan should be allowed, too. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
