URLs
by Hans Gerwitz 20 Mar '07

How can I turn off the "shortcut" URLs where /bin/Space/Page is interpreted as /bin/view/Space/Page? (Specifically, I'm using mod_redirect to clean up the URL architecture and need to assume that anything prefixed /bin that isn't /bin/view needs to be passed through as an action.) - - - Hans Gerwitz http://phobia.com/

what to do with xwiki.org
by jeremi joslin 07 Mar '06

07 Mar '06

Hi, I'm working with some contributors (Antoine, Lawrence and Jim) on the new version of the website. It will be more focus on the community, documentation and the developpement of the software. I want to separate the demonstration of what XWiki can do and the sandbox from this website. So the website we are working on, will replace the current one, and we will put all others pages to another one. What do you think about it?

XWiki licence changed to LGPL
by jeremi joslin 27 Feb '06

27 Feb '06

Hi all, i've changed all headers of xwiki to LGPL. I do it by script, so if you find a mistake, tell me. I use the svn to generate the @author header, so if someone commit the file for you, tell me, I will add your name to the header.

security hole?
by Matthew Conway 25 Feb '06

25 Feb '06

Isn't it a potential security hole for com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki.searchDocuments(*) to return a list of XWikiDocument instead of wrapping them in a Document like the other API methods do? Matt

Other way
by Antoine Faucher 17 Feb '06

Hello, I used to code in php/mysql. But since i discovered xwiki, I really think it's more powerful. But, in my opinion there is a thing can be upgrade to facilitate developtement for webmaster. as we know There is several URLS : * view * edit * inline * save * login * logout and others like : * addcomment * addobjects * upload * delete I was thinking why some URLs which don't show anything to the users should not be replace by a more complete Save action programming. When you save, you can decide - in which page - which content - which objects - which Files - can be add, edit, or delete It will be more clear to understand and to program this kind of thing ? "Vive xwiki !" Antoine

BaseProperty
by Michael Reinsch 16 Feb '06

16 Feb '06

Hello! While implementing something I came around the BaseProperty and while reading the code I found several strange things. I agree with the comment above BaseProperty that this class should be abstract, mainly because getValue() always returns null. Then PropertyClass can be made abstract as well. But then I'm stuck a bit with the stuff in XWikiHibernateStore, which creates also new instances of BaseProperty and PropertyClass. It looks to me like the code there is simply cloning those objects - but why is it not using clone() then? Well, it is doing some strange stuff there anyway. While looking at all this stuff, I also found several other things which could be cleaned up to avoid bugs, to increase performance and to make things easier understandable. But before I get really started: is this kind of work wanted? I am aware that with a code base of this size it is easy to break things... -- Michael Reinsch <mr(a)uue.org> http://mr.uue.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Developers, I've created yesterday a new plugin to resize image to add XWiki a king of thumbnail feature. A short doc (for a small plugin) is availalble at the plugin documentation: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Plugins+List The plugin is already used in the ObjectWebCon '06 website to display Photo Album: http://objectwebcon06.objectweb.org/xwiki/bin/Photos/ Enjoy XWiki Ref: http://mail-archive.objectweb.org/xwiki-commits/2006-02/msg00002.html -- Xavier MOGHRABI - Consortium ObjectWeb

Plugin integration
by Xavier MOGHRABI 14 Feb '06

14 Feb '06

Hi XWiki developers, I'm preparing a small plugin for thumbnails as explain in my previous mail. The image is resized by adding a parameter heigth at this end of a download URL (eg :xwiki/bin/download/Photos/Seychelles1999/DSC04010.JPG?height=550) To call the plugin I need to add a piece of code in DownloadAction class. Do you think : - is it better to add the dependancy to the plugin in the DownloadAction class such as : // Sending the content of the attachment - byte[] data = attachment.getContent(context); + byte[] data = null; + + // Resize if imageplugin is on + ImagePlugin imageplugin = (ImagePlugin) context.getWiki().getPlugin( + "image", context); + if ((request.getParameter("height") != null) && (imageplugin != null)) { + try { + int height = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("height")); + data = imageplugin.createThumbnail(attachment, height, context); + response.setContentType("image/png"); + } catch (NumberFormatException e) { + } catch (Exception e) { + e.printStackTrace(); + } + } + + if (data == null) data = attachment.getContent(context); + - or is it better to add a generic method in the plugin Interface class (XWikiPluginInterface) with a method : startDownloading(byte[] data, XWikiContext context) and to call it after in DownloadAction ?
