[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Title improvements (for 4.2 or 4.3)

by Vincent Massol

Hi guys, Some time back we started improving title handling, I'd like that we continue this and I'm proposing some further improvements below: * Make the title field contain wiki syntax (same as the content field) instead of just velocity * Make the title field a textarea so that we can have more than 1 line * Display a textarea of 1 line initially (to preserve space) but enlarge the textarea visibility by several line on the first Enter keypress in the field * Stop trying to extract title content from the doc content * Have a backward compat param to still support the old mode, but have it off by default in 4.2/4.3 <side> * Introduce a {{i18n}} macro (or {{translate}}, or …) </side> Advantages: * Same as the content field - More consistency * More power since we use wiki syntax and we can use any script language * Removes the WTF symptom when a user edits a page having velocity script in the title since they'll see it displayed in WYSIWYG mode with the title content evaluated * Removes the uncertainty about title extraction (for ex if some macro generates headings) but still allow it if it's really needed - Since the user will be able to write scripts in the title textarea and those scripts can extract stuff from the doc content if they really need it * We'll be able to add a l18n macro and thus display the title translations nicely in the wysiwyg editor WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

Re: [xwiki-devs] [GSoC] Responsive Skin

by Jonathan Solichin

Hello Friends, > What about having a drop down of recently used spaces under the space > menue > and wikis under wiki menue on the top.. It currently has document index > only. That's a good idea I think. I'll do one (better?) and put it under the quicklinks, since it is pretty relevant there and will be more visible, what do you guys think? Thanks. I'll take some time to look into this deeper. Maybe you could start > committing the row HTML/CSS/JS in a repository on your github account, so > that it's easier to collaborate on. Sounds good: https://github.com/jssolichin/xorange Unfortunately, I have yet integrate to XWIKI, but for the most part most the skin is as it was in the mock up (desktop). The menu, the issue I had with the scrollbar, and so forth has been resolved. Again http://jssolichin.com/xwiki will show the latest version of where I am at. My next step is to begin down scaling--testing compatibility with tablet (which should not take too long (starting with the 2 column collapse, line breaks etc. )), then finally to mobile and enabling the hidden sidebar function. There are some closer refinements such as font detail etc. that I will begin to compile as I do the next few steps and then I will clear them out together. The community can help me to find these refinements as well. Interestingly, this small library has just been published today: > http://fat.github.com/coffin/ > It might be interesting for you as either inspiration or even support for > implementation.

Sasinda, thanks, that is really cool. Although I agree with Jerome that it's not the best for this, it is good to know that it is out there. Thank you for chiming in! Personally Arch Linux and Open JDK, but that should not change anything. Yea, i know technically it shouldn't. But i've been having a few problem with my present distro, so i'm trying to remove any differences and what not. Thanks for the info.

Great! Thank you for that clarification. Thanks again for all the help everyone, Jonathan Solichin

[xwiki-devs] clone xwiki-platform fail

Re: [xwiki-devs] [GSoC] Responsive Skin

by Jonathan Solichin

Hello friends and Jerome, Thanks for the response. > Can you describe us the issue you are trying to address regarding this > sidebar and the associated javascript ? > It looks like unnecessary complexity for me. Aren't media queries just > enough to have the sidebar resize/move when the viewport size changes ? > I'd like we keep things simple as much as possible, so tell me if I'm > missing something. So the reason i am using javascript, is because although media queries handle viewport changes, its adaptation is does not completely work in some scenarios. Eg. the sidebar scrolling area (for when there's a lot of things on that topic), would require a fix height to get the overflow to work (or else it will stretch along and will no longer be a "fixed sidebar"). However, if we have a fixed height, during viewport size change it would cause an issue (of it no longer being a fixed sidebar since it's longer than the viewport). i think there is a couple other issue that prevented me from using straight up html/css, but I can't think of it at the moment. Let me know if you have a better suggestion! Additionally, I want the sidebar to be resizable at least a desktop/tablet level where there is a good amount of width so that if you're more concern on reading the additional info, you can get more space for it. The great thing (or the idea behind) the sidebar was to allow supplemental info to be viewed along with the content (think Microsoft SmartGlass if you've learned about that aha). But the issue is that the size of a sidebar is not always optimal for reading long contents, so i want it to be resizable to accommodate. So this resizing thing will also be done via jQuery. In any regards, I have been to resolve most of the issue and it seems to work well atm (let me know any bugs that i missed). Again you can check out the working demo that i'm working on at: http://jssolichin.com/xwiki . Unfortunately the code behind is a bit ugly right now, and need to be cleaned up. My next step is to finish up the navigation (the mouse over event revealing different sections and the icons indicating content on each section) and making it look like the mock up. Most of use are using either OSX or Linux. Are you following > http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building ? I am. Which distro? and oracle or openjdk for java? What module are you trying to build exactly ? Most of the times you don't > need to build everything, but just the module(s) you are working on (and > possibly the final distribution, like XE). I'm trying to build your Lyrebird (from its source) to learn about creating VMs. I think I am able to build it now actually. I am going into the lyrebird directory and running "mvn clean install -Phsqldb,jetty" to build it. But I am still not sure what to do next? Can you point me in the right direction? Thank you again!

[xwiki-devs] Resolve/Serialize entity references on the client side (JavaScript code)

by Marius Dumitru Florea

Hi devs, While fixing http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7889 I introduced an API to resolve and serialize entity references on the client side (JavaScript code). See https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/cfa8ec3315a32fed875949ff21a5…. XWiki Explorer tree has an input displayed at the bottom where you can type a _pseudo_ entity reference which is parsed and the specified entity is selected in the tree. The basic problem (very simplified) was that this reference was parsed on the client side and the parsing code did not handle special characters in entity name (no escaping). Of course, I had to options: * add a service (REST?) to resolve/serialize the reference on the server or * (as I did) port part of the code from xwiki-platform-model (with unit tests!) to JavaScript to be able to resolve/serialize entity references on the client side. There are pros and cons for each option but for me the main reason was that it is painful to modify xwikiexplorer.js to make AJAX requests each time you type into that input box (the tree node is selected as you type). An almost complete rewrite was needed and since we're looking to replace that tree I thought the second option was better. Would be great if you can review my commit. I'm interested in the API naming and places where I put the JS code. Also, I'm not sure where to document the new API (that is if no one is against it). Thanks, Marius

Re: [xwiki-devs] Access password of current user

by David Delbecq

Hello all, if someone has access to restricted xwiki area (escalation or any other way), this someone could just create a javascript wiki page using skinextension, that will grab password from login form and send it anywhere in the wiki for later retrieval. So i don't feel like i create any security hole there. If a user has access to the server, he could just feed it with it's own XwikiAuthService or LDAP server that record password before forwarding to real ldap server. Our company has no kerberos, ntlm, etc server running, so i can't easily use such solution. Removing password for authentication on background service is no option either, as wiki will be a portal to those services, but some operation still need user to navigate to those services. For example, a webdav service: listing in xwiki page of a folder content should be done using xwiki current user's priviledges (xwiki is the http client), but when user want to retrieve a specific file or want to mount the webdav service on his workstation, he access the webdav service directly. Using "unsecure" password is no option either, all users in the company are supposed to use same password for all services (ldap central authentication). Keep in mind, the only things i have write access to is a few jboss servers, their configuration, and the webapp running on them. All applications (except unfortunately xwiki) use container based authentication. If someone has doc on how to forward credentials from one webapp to another over http(s), i'll be glad to prefer it, but the only documentions on jboss/sso i have found so far assume all request come from browser! Kerberos or similar service, while a good solution as supported by jboss (but "experimental" in xwiki), afaik, requires to add additionnal schemas to ldap so tickets can be stored. And i know from experience that if i request such service installed and configured on our central server, i am not sure to get them before next year. I understand your concerns, i do not like the idea of storing password in memory. But i see no viable solution for now to have our xwiki be a portal to various services on behalf of it's current user.

If you store passwords in the session, some XWiki applications could read them, someone in your organization with programming access level can access them, a hacker that escalate to have access to the machine or to programming rights in the application can read them, etc. Jerome > > Regards, > David Delbecq > > ----- Mail original ----- > > De: "Guillaume Lerouge" <guillaume(a)xwiki.com> > À: "XWiki Developers" <devs(a)xwiki.org> > Envoyé: Mardi 19 Juin 2012 14:40:16 > Objet: Re: [xwiki-devs] Access password of current user > > Hi David, > > which SSO service dou you use internally?
