[xwiki-devs] [ANN] VelocityContext versus ScriptContext
by Thomas Mortagne 01 Aug '16

01 Aug '16

Hi devs, I finally started the long waiting refactoring to deal with conflicting ScriptContext and VelocityContext. * they are now fully in sync (at least that's the goal when you use them properly :)) * VelocityContext moved to a more internal thing or at least very specific (use case where you execute yourself some Velocity code). In general if you want to set or access script bindings, do it trough ScriptContext. * new ScriptContextManager#getCurrentScriptContext which directly return a not updated ScriptContext. To be used when you want to set binding mostly and you don't care if it's up to date or not. If there is any chance you access anything in the script context it's safer to use #getScriptContext So if you have weird behavior with Velocity variable you know who to blame. Please report me anything that looks wrong on this area. -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [Discussion] Committing date changes on document XML files
by Eduard Moraru 25 Jul '16

25 Jul '16

Hi, devs, This interesting discussion [1] came up recently on a github commit that lead us to realise that a practice which we have been doing since forever is not documented in our best practices guides and that we also seem to lack consensus on it. It`s about the practice of skipping date field changes from document XML pages when committing them to source control. This includes doc date and contentUpdateDate fields, but also attachment dates. You can see some arguments on the discussion[1], but I also wanted to mention that this practice goes in line with what we do for document versions (which is handled by the xar:format maven plugin goal which we execute every time, before committing XML pages). If we are to update doc dates, then we should also increment doc versions, otherwise it does not make any sense. The idea was, AFAIR, that XWIki`s code pages should not generate any updates in the user`s wiki content, in any way, and that and update of the code of a "system"/XWiki page should not show up as an update of *the user's content*, since it would otherwise confuse him. What we are currently missing from xar:format is exactly this: the reset of XML page dates to have a clearer and more consistent date for XWiki`s code pages. Your input is appreciated and the result of this discussion would be the update of our Development Practices [2] and Application Development Best Practices [3] pages. Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/1938dd18e1d25b8c03e4cb222862… [2] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices [3] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ApplicationDevelopmentBestPra…

[xwiki-devs] [UX][Vote] Content Templates by default
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 22 Jul '16

22 Jul '16

Hi, By default there are not many page templates an user could see. In order for users to understand the power and purpose of XWiki, it would be helpful to add more content templates by default. Content Templates are templates that don't belong to a particular application, but provides an initial content structure. The templates will be suggested in the creation step. Here are some templates we could add by default: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/TemplatesDefault#HProposal 1. Article 2. Encyclopedia 3. Meeting 4. Simple Page You can test them on http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/TemplatesDefault/ (use the Create button) Please vote if you agree these templates should be added by default or otherwise let me know your feedback. Thanks, Caty
