We are looking for xWiki training. We are looking to extend xWiki. Is there a xWiki development training available or a consultant willing to work with us to get us started with the xWiki infrastructure? Our development team comprises of Java developers, and a front end web developer. Am I using the correct mailing list for my questions? Thanks, Mary Beebe

[xwiki-devs] [Contrib] New repository for SysAdmins scripts

by Guillaume Fenollar

Hello there, We (XWiki SAS's SysAdmins) would like to put some useful scripts about the use of XWiki in a new xwiki-contrib github repo. The goal is to share our (mostly bash and python) scripts to make them available to everyone, and permit commiters to bring new ideas and improvements. They will be mostly made to run on Debian-based distributions, but if it's necessary, we can imagine having different folders for different distribution (even if all scripts should be compatible) About the name, we were thinking of "xwiki-contrib/sysadmin-tools" or "xwiki-contrib/admin-scripts". I personally prefer the "tools" word. WDYT? Thanks in advance Guillaume Fenollar & Daniel Patriche XWiki SAS SysAdmins

[xwiki-devs] Ready for XWiki 5.1M1 release?

by Marius Dumitru Florea

Hi devs, I'd like to release XWiki 5.1M1 ASAP (today if possible) but there are still opened issues planned for 5.1M1. See http://jira.xwiki.org/issues/?jql=Project%20in%20%28%22XWiki%20Commons%22%2… . Please close or move the issues that are assigned to you. Is there any work in progress that you would like to include in 5.1M1? We're already late by one day so, unless it's really needed, it should be postponed to M2. Did you notice any blocker issues on the recent 5.1-SNAPSHOT builds? As usual, any help in stabilizing the build is highly appreciated. Thanks, Marius

[xwiki-devs] New version of the GitHub App

by Ludovic Dubost

Hi, A new version of the GitHub app has been released with some improvements: - lower number of calls to github for large repos by only loading spaces and page specified - allow to commit one or more specific pages - better comparaison of pages ignoring formatting changes, including those introduced by mvn xar:format (for now we cannot yet format like mvn xar:format) - allow to commit a github descriptor with the application (but without user/pass) which can help developers commit to github using the github app with the right settings - fix diff in later version of XWiki (it was not colored anymore) http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/GitHubApp Ludovic -- Ludovic Dubost Founder and CEO Blog: http://blog.ludovic.org/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost GTalk: ldubost

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] New User Directory module in platform

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, I'd like to move the user directory feature currently located in XE into platform. I'm proposing the following directory structure: xwiki-platform-core |_ xwiki-platform-user |_ xwiki-platform-user-profile |_ xwiki-platform-user-profile-ui |_ xwiki-platform-user-profile-test |_ xwiki-platform-user-directory |_ xwiki-platform-user-directory-ui |_ xwiki-platform-user-directory-test |_ (future) xwiki-plarform-user-api This means: * Moving current xwiki-platform-user-ui to xwiki-platform-user-profile/xwiki-platform-user-profile-ui * Moving current xwiki-platform-user-test to xwiki-platform-user-profile/xwiki-platform-user-profile-test (and sub dirs) * Adding new xwiki-platform-user-directory/ (and sub dirs) * Adding the proper EM aliases for moved extension ids Rationale: * XE is not the right place * This allows to be able to install/uninstall the user directory app separately from the rest * I feel user directory app is different from the user profile app which is why I'm not proposing to group them together WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Switching from semantic media wiki to xwiki

by Beebe, Mary J

Xwiki developers, Our company develops wikis. We set up the core wiki, and then write extensions to add specific tools depending on the subject of the wiki . All of our wikis have been developed with the MediaWiki platform, which is written in PHP and prefers the mySQL database. We need to convert over to a Java and Oracle solution; XWiki is a contender for us. To help us decide on xWiki, Do you mind answering a few questions for us such as the following? 1. One advantage of wikis for us is the revision history, fast creation of content, media uploads, and the user management. Are these things solved well with xwiki? 2. We need to add some custom tables to the wiki database and then save to those tables from a page form. Is that possible? 3. We need to develop forms for particular categories. The fields within the forms will be saved to your tables and our custom tables. Is this possible? 4. It looks like xWiki has components. We are just starting to experiment with your components. Are they helpful with your product? 5. Do you have hooks in the code or other possibilities to extend code without changing it? 6. Is it possible to change core code? User mark up differences between your xWiki and mediaWiki is not a big factor for us. Thanks, Mary

[xwiki-devs] HTML form which redirects user to UNC folder

by Hamster

Hi, I am creating an HTML form which should redirect a user to an UNC folder after they have clicked on a button. I got everything setup, but the $response.sendRedirect($folder) doesn't open the folder. If I just put $folder on the page, it shows the UNC-path (and when I click that link, it takes me to that folder) So I know that the link $folder is correct...but how can I open that folder automaticly? Should I be using redirect or something else? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/HTML-form-which-redirects-user-to-UNC-fol… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] [UX][Iteration] Solr Search Proposal 2

by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica)

Hi devs, This is an _alternative_ proposal to what is currently implemented in our Solr Search. For the current implementation there is another proposal [1] that is already partially integrated. The current Solr implementation is focused on Facets search. This means that not all possible filters are revealed, but just those that match the current query, letting the user narrow the results. This alternative proposal will display all the possible filters and will let the user make his own selections instead of auto-selecting for him. This proposal is inspired from JIRA's filters. Although being able to customize and to refine the filters to exactly what you need will be great for developers and advanced users, please keep in mind that normal users will be more comfortable with the faceted search since it's more 'standard' in the wild (in the e-commerce and product-related websites). Advanced user know exactly what they want in comparison with normal users that rely on the first 3 results. You can see a screenshot at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/SearchProposal… and read the whole proposal at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/SearchProposal3 Thanks, Caty [1] http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/du4dknibbgxx6pdn
