[xwiki-devs] [UX][Consistency][Vote] "Page" vs. "Document" consistent naming

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi, We are using mixed naming when referring to a document/page, not only on different pages, but also in the same context (Rename step for example). There is also an issue referring to this problem XWIKI-5401<http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5401>and we need to find an answer in order to move forward consistency. So the question is which version we prefer: "Page" or "Document" ? I'm voting +1 for "Page". "Page" is more used IMO, especially in the "Space"/"Page" context. "Page" is more general than "Document" and better fitted for a platform that encapsulates all kind of content (not just documents). Please cast your vote. Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] Questions about fixing getRenderedContent() bug

by Vincent Massol

Hi, Im trying to fix http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4274 Basically if you do $xwiki.getDocument("someDoc").getRenderedContent() it'll get executed in the context of the current doc which I believe is wrong especially since other signatures of getRenderedContent() execute in the target document's context. I have fixed this locally but found that admin.vm for example is assuming that getRenderedContent() will get executed in the context of the calling doc (i.e. XWiki.Import when doing an import for example). FYI the chain flow is admin.vm -- getRenderedContent() --> XWiki.AdminSheet --> XWiki.AdminImportSheet --> importinline.vm, which requires the current doc to be XWiki.Import (to get/put attachments from/to it). I can fix this easily using a new getRenderedContent signature I've introduced. However I'm wondering if we have other places that incorrectly use getRenderedContent() and assume it won't be rendered in the context of the target document. Is this change too dangerous to make? If not know, we'll need to it quickly (2.1M1?) since it's an important bug IMO. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Pretty Time library

by Vincent Massol

Could be useful: http://ocpsoft.com/prettytime/ Idea of usage: For ex we could use that to show the last modified document dates for dates in the past week (for ex): "Document created 2 days ago" It's in the maven central repo and it's under LGPL -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] How to load GWT application on Xwiki pages?

by Leon Wang

Hi Everyone! I have read this document "Writing GWT applications in XWiki" ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/WritingGWTApplicationsInXWiki) And I know how to develop GWT module for xwiki now. I also have read the document "WYSIWYG Editor Module" ( http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Modules/WysiwygEditorModule). I followed the instruction which tried to integrate the WYSIWYG editor(GWT application) in wiki pages, and I put the following code in my wiki editor: "{{html}} <script type="text/javascript" src="XWikiWysiwyg.js"> alert('WYSIWYG code is loaded!'); </script> <textarea id="demo"></textarea> <script type="text/javascript"> Wysiwyg.onModuleLoad(function() { new WysiwygEditor({hookId:'demo'}); alert('WYSIWYG code is loaded!'); }); Wysiwyg.onModuleLoad(function() { editor = new WysiwygEditor({hookId: 'demo'}); }); }); </script> {{/html}}" After saved, it only display a blank text area without any sign of WYSIWYG editor, also there is no alart 'WYSIWYG code is loaded!' popup. Can you help me figure it out what is wrong with it? I am planing to develop a tree view using GWT to display Design Rationale Element. Could you give me some ideas of after my development, how can I embeded the GWT application into Xwiki pages and interact with the GWT application? Thank you very much! Leon

[xwiki-devs] XWiki logo around

by coldserenity

Hi, I remember once there was a contest for new XWiki logo but due to elections fail (there would have been too many unsatisfied people if any of newly suggested logos had been approved) the process has gracefully ended (which, in my opinion, was a good decision) I also think that it would be worthless to conduct another competition/election amongst users because as the saying goes - tastes differ. The only thing users can contribute are their ideas (which might be accepted or might not which is fair) regarding shapes and symbols to use. Decision about visual design should be made within very very small circle of visual designers probably with one or two people involved in the project to chill down designers' burning imagination :) Having all of the above said, I would suggest to collect a set of shapes and symbols for new XWiki logo each supplied with description of underlying meaning. And then (having revised all of the comments in some of the former posts regarding what new logo should be: symmetric/asymmetric, complex/simple, round/firm) provide all that to a designer to draw several sketches. And then by internal vote (at maximum the development team members involved) choose the new logo. This thread is for storing all of the ideas on the new XWiki logo. At least that's what I (as a user) will be using it for may any ideas to come. Join :) Regards, Roman -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/XWiki-logo-around-tp6074956p6074956.html Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] How to use RESTFUL API to insert Objects on Pages

by Mark Wallace

Hi all. Short version of my question: Can anyone point me to an example of adding object of a custom class to a page via the ReSTful API? And now for the long version of my question: I can successfully create a page using REST, but can't add an object. Here is the problem step by step. 1) Using this XML definition in a file called AlinaPage.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xwiki:page xmlns:xwiki="http://www.xwiki.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xwiki.org C:\Users\mwallace\ Desktop\xwiki_rest_model.xsd"> <xwiki:link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey/o…" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/o bject"></xwiki:link> <xwiki:id/> <xwiki:fullName/> <xwiki:wiki/> <xwiki:space>Main</xwiki:space> <xwiki:name>Alina Frey</xwiki:name> <xwiki:title/> <xwiki:parent/> <xwiki:parentId/> <xwiki:xwikiRelativeUrl/> <xwiki:xwikiAbsoluteUrl/> <xwiki:translations/> <xwiki:syntax/> <xwiki:language/> <xwiki:version/> <xwiki:majorVersion>1</xwiki:majorVersion> <xwiki:minorVersion>0</xwiki:minorVersion> <xwiki:created>2011-07-02T12:32:00-04:00</xwiki:created> <xwiki:creator>XWiki.mwallace</xwiki:creator> <xwiki:modified>2011-07-02T12:32:00-04:00</xwiki:modified> <xwiki:modifier/> <xwiki:content>{{include document="XWiki.PersonSheet"/}}</xwiki:content> </xwiki:page> 2) I do the following command, which adds the page successfully: C> curl -u mwallace:password -X PUT --data-binary "@AlinaPage.xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey 3) The resulting page from a HTTP GET is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <page xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org"> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/space"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina%20Frey…" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/history"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/syntaxes" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/syntaxes"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey" rel="self"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/classes/Main.Alina%20Frey" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/class"/> <id>xwiki:Main.Alina Frey</id> <fullName>Main.Alina Frey</fullName> <wiki>xwiki</wiki> <space>Main</space> <name>Alina Frey</name> <title>Alina Frey</title> <parent/> <parentId/> <xwikiRelativeUrl>http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Alina+Frey</xwikiRelativeUrl> <xwikiAbsoluteUrl>http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Alina+Frey</xwikiAbsoluteUrl> <translations/> <syntax>xwiki/2.0</syntax> <language/> <version>4.1</version> <majorVersion>4</majorVersion> <minorVersion>1</minorVersion> <created>2011-07-02T12:45:12-04:00</created> <creator>XWiki.mwallace</creator> <modified>2011-07-02T21:33:48-04:00</modified> <modifier>XWiki.mwallace</modifier> <content>{{include document="XWiki.PersonSheet"/}}</content> </page> 4) But then, using this definition of an object in file AlenaObject.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xwiki:object xmlns:xwiki="http://www.xwiki.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xwiki.org C:\Users\mwallac e\Desktop\xwiki_rest_model.xsd"> <xwiki:id/> <xwiki:guid/> <xwiki:pageId>Main.Alina Frey</xwiki:pageId> <xwiki:wiki/> <xwiki:space>Main</xwiki:space> <xwiki:pageName>Alina Frey</xwiki:pageName> <xwiki:className>XWiki.PersonClass</xwiki:className> <xwiki:number>0</xwiki:number> <xwiki:headline/> <xwiki:property name="_knows"> <xwiki:value>Main.Alena</xwiki:value> </xwiki:property> <xwiki:property name="_knows"> <xwiki:value>Main.Judi Wallace</xwiki:value> </xwiki:property> <xwiki:property name="name"> <xwiki:value>Alina Frey</xwiki:value> </xwiki:property> </xwiki:object> 5) I try the following command, which does NOT insert the object properly: C> curl -u mwallace:password -X PUT --data-binary "@AlinaObject.xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey/o… 6) Rather, I get this error message: <html> <head> <title>Status page</title> </head> <body> <h3>The server has not found anything matching the request URI</h3><p>You can get technical details <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.5">here</a>.<br> Please continue your visit at our <a href="/">home page</a>. </p> </body> </html> What am I doing wrong? -- Mark Wallace Principal Engineer, Semantic Applications Modus Operandi, Melbourne, FL, USA

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Use artifact id as directory names

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, The proposal is to use artifactid as directory names. Note that this is what I did for commons and rendering when I did the move to top level project. You can check how it looks like here: http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/commons/ http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/rendering/ I suggest we keep one strategy only for consistency. Some discussion here too: http://www.sonatype.com/people/2011/01/maven-tip-project-directories-and-ar… I know there are some cons (see my comment in the link above) but overall I find it simple to implement and with autocompletion not such a big issue. WDYT? If you don't like this then please propose an alternative solution and remember that we'll need to refactor commons and rendering in this case too. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Create xwiki-contrib organization on GitHub + move retired platform modules to it

by Vincent Massol

Hi, I'm proposing to move the following modules from xwiki-platform-core to separate git repos in a xwiki-contrib organization on GitHub: xwiki-platform-calendar xwiki-platform-exo xwiki-platform-adwords xwiki-platform-alexa xwiki-platform-photoalbum xwiki-platform-s5 xwiki-platform-workstream Rationale: * They're no longer working or supported * We can move them back if the xwiki dev team wants to support them again in the future * It's cleaner than having a retired module in the xwiki organization since a) it's not "polluting" the list of repos supported by the xwiki dev team and b) it allows them to be separated in repos Future: * Also move modules currently in svn contrib to xwiki-contrib org. Note that we need to verify if the svn app works with the GitHub svn integration too since several users of svn contrib are using it. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent
