[xwiki-devs] Update on the work on a new Skin for XE 2.0

by Guillaume Lerouge

Hi Devs, here's a quick update on the current work being undertaken to bring a new skin to life for XWiki 2.0. The aim of this new skin is to provide XE with a fresh / new look & feel for the 2.0 release. The main items, ordered by their priority, are listed here: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/NewSkin It's broken down into 2 sets: hard requirements (XE 2.0 can't ship without meeting them) and soft requirements (we can do them later if needed). Its main aims are: - make it easier for a new wiki user to change the look & feel of the wiki using its own color set - move the action bar closer to the content area and make it scroll with the page (removing the flickering issue in linux) - make it possible to automatically display a page's title when its title field is filled (configuration option) - replace the stripped background images with a plain color background Those items are those that we run into when trying to customize skins and should help users make their wiki look nice more easily. Cati & I will keep you posted about the skin's progress. Guillaume -- Guillaume Lerouge Product Manager - XWiki Skype: wikibc Twitter: glerouge http://guillaumelerouge.com/

Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Hide Office Importer Features when the OOoserver isn't running

I agree with Vincent about the hiding way. I would prefer a message instead of not knowing the existance of this (great) functionnality.

How will a user know there's an office import feature? I prefer that the menu entry stays and the page explains that the office importer is not started. I'd like to add a new behavior though (if it's not already done): - if the office importer app is not installed (we can test for the main office importer page availability) then the menu entry shouldn't appear.

[xwiki-devs] on new rendering

by [Ricardo Rodriguez] Your EPEC Network ICT Team

Hi all, Since almost two years ago you has done a lot of work to develop the new rendering system based on components. I can found two documents I'd been following to understand how this work has been done and what was its development state. Those are: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewRenderingArchitecture and http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Configuration#HCustomiz… I am trying now to catch up with this thread due mainly to two reasons: * At least a couple of new XWiki installations will be made public in the following weeks. It seems logical to use the last available version and take profit of all the new features. We do need to serve XWiki pages rendered as plain text. This was simple done working with XWiki 1.0 syntax. It seems to work the same way while working with XE 2.0m1 when using XWiki 1.0 syntax, but xpage=plain it is not enough when working with XWiki 2.0 syntax. I've read a number of thread related with issue in the devs list and, if I've well understood, there will be new parameters introduced in 2.0m2 to * We do need to control at least rtf and pdf outputs. So, please, are these two links still valid to follow the development of the new rendering architecture and how it affects/will affect the production of rtf and/or pdf files? What other locations I must follow, if any, to follow this development? I hope I've been able to explain what I am trying to do! All the best! Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez Your EPEC Network ICT Team

[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Name threads from request URL

by Thomas Mortagne

Hi devs, When we have farm like xwiki.org or myxwiki.org stuck we usually kill the jvm and look at its last state to see if we can find some lock etc... Most of the time if the issue is in a specific script and not a platform bug it's unreadable. To make it more easy I propose to rename thread created by the application server based on the URL. Basically it means something like adding: Thread.currentThread().setName(request.getRequestURL() + "?" + request.getQueryString()); in XWikiAction#initializeXWikiContext. I tested it on tomcat and it works well. WDYT ? Here is my +1 for this -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] Question about AbstractMacro API

by Asiri Rathnayake

Hi all, While working on macro categories implementation I came across a small problem that made me little uncomfortable with AbstractMacro API. I'm writing this email just to make sure that I'm not making things worse in the public API. Currently AbstractMacro has 4 constructors: * public AbstractMacro(String description); * public AbstractMacro(String description, ContentDescriptor contentDescriptor) * public AbstractMacro(String description, Class< ? > parametersBeanClass) * public AbstractMacro(String description, ContentDescriptor contentDescriptor, Class< ? > parametersBeanClass) Now, I wanted to introduce a MacroDescriptor::getDefaultCategory() method and I also wanted to make this new parameter available in AbstractMacro constructors (makes sense). Now the problem with this is, If I introduce an optional 'defaultCategory' parameter into AbstractMacro, this will make the total number of constructors 8. What will happen if someone wants to introduce a MacroDescriptor::getIcon() method some time later? One solution is to have setXXXX methods for those parameters instead. But then a slight problem occurs where AbstractMacro needs to somehow call setXXX methods on it's internal MacroDescriptor instance. It's not that we can't cook comething up, but it's going to look hackish. My question is, why do we have to make AbstractMacro constructors so simple? Can't we have these two constructors only? * public AbstractMacro(); * public AbstractMacro(MacroDescriptor); The problem with this approach is that a client will have to do little more work like; ContentDescriptor myContentDescriptor = new DefaultContentDescriptor("This is my content", true); MacroDescriptor myMacroDescriptor = new DefaultMacroDescriptor("This is my macro", myContentDescriptor, beanManager.getBeanDescriptor(MyParametersClass.Class)) super(myMacroDescriptor); Even though this is too much of work, I think it will make the API more extensible an clean. This is only my opinion. I didn't want to drag this issue this far but I just couldn't feel myself comfortable with the way I'm going to implement the macro categories support. Up to you. Thanks. - Asiri

[xwiki-devs] [DESIGN][PROPOSAL] Macro Categories Implementation

by Asiri Rathnayake

Hi, I would like to introduce a MacroCategoriesManager component for managing macro categories. We already have a MacroManager component in place but I think seperating out the concern of macro categories management into a seperate component creates a more extensible design. Following is a basic outline for implementing MacroCategoriesManager component: * Introduce MacroDescriptor::getDefaultCategory() method which returns a String. The purpose of this method is to allow macro author to supply a default category under which his macro should be listed. This method can virtually return any string. Following three steps I'm not very confident about: * Duplicate each existing constructor in AbstractMacro and add a 'category' parameter. * Make AbstractMacroDescriptor constructor accept a 'category' parameter. * Duplicate each existing constructor in DefaultMacroDescriptor and add a 'category' parameter. If a macro author does not specify a default category, the "Other" category will be used. * Introduce the MacroCategoriesManager component with following methods: List<String> getMacroCategories() List<String> getMacroNames(String category) List<String> getMacroNames(String category, Syntax syntax) Each of these methods will give priority to admin configured macro categories. That is they will discard MacroDescriptor::getDefaultCategory() return value if the wiki admin has configured a different category for a given macro. * A macro category can be overwritten by specifying the configuration parameter "org.xwiki.rendering.macro.<macro_name>.category" using xwiki's configuration mechanism (Ex. xwiki.properties). This is my initial design idea, please let me know what you think. Thanks. - Asiri

[xwiki-devs] [DISCUSSION] Macro categories

by Asiri Rathnayake

Hi all, This is about implementing back-end support for macro categories. My understanding of macro categories and it's implementation is bit vague at this point, hopefully this email will set things straight. To understand the usefulness of macro categories, have a look at confluence macro browser: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Working+with+the+Macro+Browser We can identify several categories by looking at confluence but XWiki will need several other categories as well. I can think of few XWiki macro categories: * Presentation - Macros that allow presenting document content with various styles. Like box & code macros * Document content - Macros that add stuff into a wiki page, like image, video & office macros. * Scripting - HTML, Velocity, Groovy, Ruby etc. * Visualization / Reporting - Chart macro and the like. * External content - Macros that fetch content from external sources. Like Rss macro. * Development - Macros in development / introductory stage. I'm pretty sure there are more categories to consider (please list them). Now for the real questions that are troubling me: * Should these categories be statically defined inside the rendering module? This would mean that the macro author gets to select which category his macro belogs to, which in turn means we should have a method like: MacroCategory getCategory() inside the Macro interface. Using this information MacroManager will present different macro categories to the outside world. * The other approach is to keep this categorization inside some wiki pages and allow administrators to manipulate it: Create / Edit categories, assign macros to categories etc. I'm not sure what problems this would create when implementing macro browser though. * Another (very hackish) approach would be to use the component role hint in the same fashion it is used to specify macros for different syntaxes. I think this is enough to get the discussion started. Thank you very much for your input. - Asiri

[xwiki-devs] [UX][Standards] Vertical Forms + (Primary / Secondary) Buttons

by Ecaterina Valica

Hi Devs, I made on incubator (http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/) a Standards page. This is a work in progress and lots of things need to be added. We really need some standards in order to have consistency throughout the platform. So, for now I propose to use 2 standards: 1. (Primary / Secondary) Buttons http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/Buttons 2. Vertical Aligned Forms http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/Forms I hope you will agree and start integrating these concepts in the development of new/existing components. Thanks, Caty
