Hello,
Is there any way to add some code without recompiling xwiki-core
(plugin? component?) that could register a listener for any changes
in
documents (preferably by mask / type, as in "listen for added
comments
on Main.* and Blog.*") and optionally veto (and/or flag for
review?) them?
If not, please consider adding it - it would be a very nice way to
make
writing things like spam- and vandal- filters easier.
It would also allow making such things more modular - if any plugin
could register such a listener, then there could be (for example) two
independent plugins running at once, one handling scenarios like "bad
source" - "bad ip", "possible anonymous proxy", the other
"bad
content"
- "bad words", "structure looks like spam" or "too many
links".
Yes, there is the old notification API in xwiki-core, and the new
observation component that handle this scenario (see
http://maven.xwiki.org/site/xwiki-core-parent/xwiki-core-observation/apidoc…
for the documentation, and
http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-localization/s…
for usage example at the end of the file). And yes, this is one of the
(three) best approaches to the anti vandalism project. The veto-ing
part
is not yet written, I remember proposing it initially, but Vincent
opposed the idea,
