Hello All,
I am writing this to be a self introductory mail to the XWiki community. I
am a Computer Engineering student at the University of Duisburg Essen,
Germany.
I am interested in the undertaking the Android related project for Summer of
Code,I am interested primarily in the long term project of building a
library to be used in XWiki android clients.
In the area of programming capabilities, I have experience with the tools
and technologies as detailed on the xwiki development wiki, I primarily use
Eclipse and have used Maven, Ant, Git and others for several school and
personal project (Android applications).
(I am looking forward though to getting more exposure on these and others by
joining and using them in an open source community).
I have been able to checkout the source, but kinda in a jungle now, because
there are a lot of projects. Will be glad if any one can point me in the
right direction, with regards to where I should look first in relationship
to the project I want to undertake.
Regards.

That's not needed. The application logic is already handled by XWiki,
this is by definition what XWiki applications do. I suggest reading and
following the FAQ tutorial in order to understand better how structured
data works in XWiki, and to see in which context the form editor is
needed: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/DevGuide/FAQTutorial

The form editor should not be too complex, it should offer an easy way
of editing simple forms. This allows the UI to remain easy to use and
understand, and also ensures a consistent look of different applications
in the same wiki. For more complex forms, there's the lower-level class
editor and the scripting support in the class sheet. For styling support
in XWiki, you should take a look at SkinExtensions:

Again, follow the FAQ tutorial to see that there's no need for such
low-level database operations. See also a bit more documentation about
the data model: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/DevGuide/DataModel

Hello,
I have gone though the form editing part of the xwiki,where we can include
the fields according to the requirement.
As per the requirement of our project (AJAX FORM EDITOR) we have to provide
one USER INTERFACE for the user through which he can drag /drop the fields
according to his form requirement.
We can extend this idea a little bit .We will not only provide the form
generation part but also include its action part i.e user will give the
name of the database where the action has to take place(if have to insert
the record or update the record in the database).Moreover, we can also add
style for each field where user can define its style according to its choice
and we can also provide the style sheet for the whole form also.
User will select the type of the field for example in the form there are
certain fields which get insert ,some gets updated when the form gets
submitted,so according to the nature and requirement, user will enter the
type of the field.Types can be "INSERT","UPDATE","VIEW" etc.
So for this we can use the resources which is present in the xwiki,in that
we have all the fully functional fields , we can make any field , so our
work will now to provide the interface for the user where he can drag/drop
the fields and also provide the interface for the style part and also to
create the action file and rendering file which would render the
requirement.
Thnx

Note that this not correct and you've just removed one test which was to check that the current tab is the Comments tab.
This needs to be rolled-back (or another test that verifies that the comments tab is the first one needs to be added) and the comments tab needs to be put back as the first tab (this was discussed on IRC yesterday).
Thanks

Hi devs,
I'd like to suggest we use {{dashboard style="colortheme"/}} by default on the main dashboard for the following reasons:
1) the default style has a heading size issue and it's hard for the dashboard to guess the correct size in all situations
2) it clearly shows it's a dashboard
WDYT?
Thanks

Hi devs,
In writing my own auth plugin I want the ability to run XWiki in
anonymous browsing mode as well as the login request triggering my
particular auth jar (much like xwiki.org - you can many pages w/out
actually authenticating). I have two resulting questions.
1)
Is there a magic user name in the form of XWiki."anonymous"/Guest etc..
that I can return in my checkAuth? OR am I thinking about this
incorrectly and xwiki already knows that this user is who the context is
representing..
2)
I see in reading the xwiki.cfg and tutuorials on how to run your own
authentication code that there is a way to override the login page
within the config. Is there also a way to "override" the call to the
login? I know in (cough,cough) confluence they have a seraph mechanism
that you can override what the login action is... looking for something
similar here..
I've thought of perhaps using an apache rewrite rule on the
login/XWikiLogin page to trigger my auth
Thanks guys..

Hi devs,
I was looking at http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5336 and
basically I'm like Jens, I don't understand why we are using creation
date in feed plugin.
So I'm proposing to change it for date (last version date).
FYI I'm planning to change
protected Date getDefaultPublishedDate(Document doc, Map<String,
Object> params, XWikiContext context)
{
return doc.getCreationDate();
}
to
protected Date getDefaultPublishedDate(Document doc, Map<String,
Object> params, XWikiContext context)
{
return doc.getDate();
}
in com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.feed.SyndEntryDocumentSource
WDYT ?
Here is my +1.

I am the beginner contributor of xwiki, and I need to find helps like how to
get the source files, and how to compile them properly , and maybe some
other problems when I am going on. I think most of the quesion at the
begginning might be disscussed before in the mailing list. Is there any
search tools for such kind information?

Hi devs,
I wrote two design proposals regarding the new message stream
functionality (a.k.a. user status).
- http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Design/UserMessagesVisibility specifies
what kind of messages (and wiki activity) should be displayed in
different contexts, like what should I see in my network tab, what
should I see when I visit another user's profile, etc.
- http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Design/UserMessagesPrivacy specifies
some privacy requirements regarding messages, both from the read and
write perspective, like should I be able to see messages for a given
group, can I send a direct message to another user, etc.
Any feedback is welcome.
