[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] New xwiki-text module?

by Vincent Massol

Hi, In the rendering code we have several places where we've had to create generic string manipulation classes/methods (for example a method to remove a single NL at start and end of string). I think it would be better to create one or several components for these string manipulation methods (same as we have xwiki-xml for xml manipulation). The idea is that we should use existing framework as much as possible (StringUtils from commons lang for ex) but when we cannot find an existing framework to manipulate text then we would put it in xwiki- text. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Improvements to the Office Importer Application

by Guillaume Lerouge

Hi devs, based on feedback from our system administrator & project managers, I'd like to suggest the following improvements to the Office Importer application (those improveents were initially suggested in 2 JIRA issues): * Administration - XAOFFICE-13 * - Ability to set the server path in xwiki.cfg or xwiki.properties (already done) - Ability to overwrite the server path in a field on .../xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globaladmin&section=XWiki.OfficeImporterAdmin - Provide an option to set the OOo server to start automatically when XWiki gets started - Ability to define this setting in xwiki.cfg or xwiki.properties - Ability to overwrite this setting on .../xwiki/bin/admin/XWiki/XWikiPreferences?editor=globaladmin&section=XWiki.OfficeImporterAdmin Ideally, we should also allow *remote access to the OOo server*, so that the same OOo server can be used by more than 1 wiki and be located on another machine. Asiri tells me that this is not possible with the current version of JOD converter. However this feature is going to be oft requested. *Is there any other way to make it work?* *User Experience - XAOFFICE-14* Right now, the link to the Office Importer is located in the action bar, under the "Actions" menu. The action bar is meant to let users interact with the current page (context actions), thus the "Import Office Document" link shouldn't be located there. - Move the "Import Office Document" link from the action bar to the Quick Links panel and rename it to "Office Import". - That's what we do with current default applications (Blog) and what we used to do with the Photo album and the calendar. Since the Office Import is a default application as well, I don't see why it should be trated differently. Additionally, it would make it easier for admins to remove the link if needed, by editing the panel (right now the link cannot be removed from the interface, which is annoying if the admin doesn't want to setup an OOo server and rather hide the feature). On the XWiki/OfficeImporter page, the import feature is displayed even if the OOo server is not currently running. Only after the user first tries to import a file is the "Open Office Server not available" message displayed. - If the OOo server isn't running when the user accesses the XWiki/OfficeImporter page, a message should be displayed saying that: - "You cannot import an Office document since the conversion server has not been started. Please ask an administrator to get it started." - If the current user is an admin, the message should read: - "You cannot import an Office document since the conversion server has not been started. You can start the OpenOffice server and manage it from this page (link to the OOo server administration page)." On the XWiki/OfficeImporer page, the user is expected to know the name of the space he will import the file into. This is not very user friendly. - Provide a select box displaying a list of spaces before the input field. If no space is selected (select box left empty), the value in the input field is used. If the input field is empty as well, a warning asking the user to choose a space is returned. - Change the text to read: "Please select a space: [space select box] or create a new one [create space input field]" If the user tries to import an Office Document on a page that already exists, an error message is dislayed but no "next step" is suggested. - Ideally, when the user types the name of the page he wants to create, a live JS validator should tell him whether the page already exists or not - If the JS solution isn't possible: the message should be improved to read: - "The target document Main.WebHome already exists. Please try again (link to the XWiki/OfficeImporter page) and choose another page name." The XWiki/OfficeImporter page offers little explanations as to its purpose and how it works. - An additional line should be added at the top, between the title and the import field, reading: - "This page allows you to import Office Documents into your wiki. It will turn the Office document you uploaded into a wiki page." - "Document" should be renamed to "Select a document to import" next to the input field I'm aware there's a lot of data in here, I'll create a separate thread to discuss a specific point if one of them turns out to be controversial. Thanks for your feedback, Guillaume -- Guillaume Lerouge Product Manager - XWiki Skype ID : wikibc http://guillaumelerouge.com/

[xwiki-devs] [Important] Regression in XE 1.8.1 for multiwiki usage

by Vincent Massol

Hi everyone, We've just found that XE 1.8.1 is having some GWT service initialization issue in multiwiki mode. All applications using the XWiki GWT service fail on XE 1.8.1 (in multiwiki mode only). More specifically this will affects users in multiki mode and using the new WYSIWYG editor or XWiki Watch (both using GWT Services). For those users we recommend to wait for XE 1.8.2 which is planned for early next week (week of the 20th of April). Sorry for the inconvenience. -Vincent on behalf of the XWiki dev team

[xwiki-devs] integrating media streaming with xwiki? (was Re: Problems with scripting)

by Niels Mayer

walid.kharroubi(a)hraccess.com : > but do you think it's possible to implement a streaming service in xwiki > using groovy class with importing a streaming api(the streaming server will > be vlc for example)? > Xwiki is better suited as a framework for creating and presenting streaming applications but not for the actual streaming implementation. It is correct to look at implementations specifically designed for streaming (e.g. VLC, Darwin <http://developer.apple.com/opensource/server/streaming/index.html>, etc) rather than trying to tame performance issues such as object/thread overhead,. out-of-memory and running out of threads -- common issues when many long-running streaming downloads occur in a servlet environment.. On the client end, Xwiki creates the HTML/CSS/javascript scaffolding, with streaming implemented via streaming "plugins" in the web-browser (e.g. mozilla plugin, a java applet or flash). These plugins could be accessed in Xwiki via special velocity macros that cleanly encapsulate all the scaffolding required to achieve this. The macro would allow easy parametrization and placement of these "streaming UI objects" in a Xwiki-based document/application. For example VLC has a mozilla broser plugin that you can control with a javascript API. http://www.videolan.org/doc/play-howto/en/ch04.html#id310965 suggests the following could be encapsulated within a velocity macro to implement this functionality: <embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2" width="640" height="480" id="vlc"> </embed> <script language="Javascript">  </script> In my experience, it is straightforward to integrate these kinds of things with Xwiki, once you get adjusted to the possiblity of "computation" happening in three places and at different times: browser, server and plugin; and figuring out the dependencies and interactions therein. Unfortunately, from a pragmatic perspective, expecting your users to install VLC or other special browser plugins is the kiss-of-death. Most users will just blow it off and move on to something else that uses Flash and "works right out of the box" for the majority of users. (Therefore you can be doctrinaire about being "purely open source" and it just means you'll be strongly limiting your customer base and needlessly limiting your own project's potential for success). It would be nice to have a truly abstract streaming media macro that would implement the same generic API for streaming media within Xwiki. The macro would determine at run-time, whether the browser is enabled with specific plugins needed to display a specific media type (such as the VLC moz plugin); if not available, the macro would dynamically switch-in the flash-based equivalent for people using IE or who don't want to install the VLC moz plugin. For example given a "mp4", the macro would first attempt to use VLC, on failure it might try the platform's browser-embeddable media presenter if media-compatible (e.g. MS windows media), and would finally try a "generic" flash player such as the Jeroen "JW" Wijering players ( http://www.longtailvideo.com/players/ ). Who else is working on streaming media issues in Xwiki? Would love to see some group interest and coding participation towards better integration of streaming media in Xwiki. Niels http://nielsmayer.com PS: some of my work-in-progress on some streaming clients in Xwiki (not actual velocity macros yet, but at least they work). http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/JW-Player?raw=1 http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Macros/YT-Chromeless?raw=1

[xwiki-devs] Need Help to Integrate Date Picker to Poll Application

by Chathura Prabuddha

Hai.. I'm trying to integrate the date picker to poll application date fields. I would like to know is there a way that to set the object property name (like $pobj.pollOpen) as the 'relative' in the javascript. ex: <script type="text/javascript"> var dpicker = new DatePicker({ relative : 'how to set the object parameter', language: "$context.language" }); </script> Also I want to know that can we use the date picker inside the #info macro. ex:#info("The poll is open from $pobj.pollOpen to $pobj.pollClose.") Thank you. ~ Chathura Prabuddha Ganegoda~ Undergraduate, Department of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. http://gacpganegoda.blogspot.com/
