[xwiki-devs] [Discussion] Designing the new Rendering/Parsing component/API
by Vincent Massol 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

Hi, I've started working on designing the new Rendering/Parsing components and API for XWiki. The implementation will be based on WikiModel but we need some XWiki wrapping interfaces around it. Note that this is a prerequisite for the new WYSIWYG editor based on GWT (see http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ NewWysiwygEditorBasedOnGwt). I've updated http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ WikiModelIntegration with the information below, which I'm pasting here so that we can have a discussion about it. I'll consolidate the results on that wiki page. Componentize the Parsing/Rendering APIs ================================== We need 4 main components: * A Scripting component to manage scripting inside XWiki documents and to evaluate them. * A Rendering component to manage rendering Wiki syntax into HTML and other (PDF, RTF, etc) * A Wiki Parser component to offer a typed interface to XWiki content so that it can be manipulated * A HTML Parser component (for the WYSIWYG editor) Different Syntaxes =============== Two possible solutions: 1. Have a WikiSyntax Object (A simple class with one property: a combox box with different syntaxes: XWiki Legacy, Creole, MediaWiki, Confluence, JSPWiki, etc) that users can attach to pages to tell the Renderers what syntax is used. If no such object is attached then it'll default to XWiki's default syntax (XWiki Legacy or Creole for example). 2. Have some special syntax, independent of the wiki syntaxes to tell the Rendered that such block of content should be rendered with that given syntax. Again there would be a default. XWiki Interfaces ============= * ScriptingEngineManager: Manages the different Scripting Engines, calling them in turn. * ScriptingEngine o Method: evaluate(String content) o Implementation: VelocityScriptingEngine o Implementation: GroovyScriptingEngine * RenderingEngineManager: Manages the different Rendering Engines, calling them in turn. * RenderingEngine o Method: render(String content) o Implementation: XWikiLegacyRenderingEngine (current rendering engine) o Implementation: WikiModelRenderingEngine * Parser: content parsing o HTMLParser: parses HTML syntax o WikiParser: parses wiki syntax o Implementation: WikiModelHTMLParser o Implementation: WikiModelWikiParser Open Questions: * Does WikiModel support a generic syntax for macros? * Is the Rendering also in charge of generating PDF, RTF, XML, etc? o I think so, need to modify interfaces above to reflect this. * The WikiParser needs to recognizes scripts since this is needed for the WYSIWYG editor. Use cases ======== * View page o ViewAction -- template -> ScriptingEngineManager.evaluate () -- wiki syntax -> RenderingEngineManager.render() ---> HTML, XML, PDF, RTF, etc * Edit page in WYSIWYG editor o Uses the WikiParser to create a "DOM" of the page content and to render it accordingly. NOTE: This is required since rendering in the WYSIWYG editor is different from the final rendering. For example, macros need to be shown in a special way to make them visible, etc. o Changes done by the user are entered in HTML. Note: it would be better to capture them so that they are entered in the "DOM". Is that possible? If not, then the HTMLParser is used to convert from HTML to Wiki Syntax but they're likely be some loss in the conversion. The advantage is the ability to take any HTML content and generate wiki syntax from it. This is my very earlier thinking but I wanted to make it visible to give everyone the change to 1) know what's happening and 2) suggest ideas. I'll refine this in the coming days and post again on this thread. Thanks -Vincent

Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-notifications] [Issue] Updated: (XAPANELS-22) Add spac e selection combo box to the "Create" Panel and using Templates
by goldring, richard 01 Oct '07

01 Oct '07

All, A space selection combo box could be useful. I've revised the New Page panel code (see below) to provide functionality to create a new page or space based upon a page template (from a Template space or where ever). Its not perfect, but maybe it can help. If you or anyone can do any better then let me know! Paste it into the New Page panel code area to see it work. Also I'd like a pop up (or something) to appear when a user clicks on a ? link so they can select a template to base the new page on - but I don't know how that could be coded. Creating a series of page from a template page (by reading the template pages the top level template page) would also be a good feature or having a template space from which to create new space e.g. template project spaces/pages which can be reused for new projects, etc. Best Regards, Richard Revised New Page panel code: #if($hasedit) #panelheader($msg.get("Create")) <form method="post" action="$doc.getURL("view", "xpage=create")" onsubmit="cancelCancelEdit()"> <br>Create: <div class="left"> <select name="tocreate" class="panelselect"> <option value="page">New Page\*</option> <option value="space">New Space</option> <option value="post">New Blog Post</option> </select> </div> #set($spaces = $xwiki.spaces) #set($currentspace = "Templates") #set($currentdoc = "-- N/A --") #if ($request.sourcedoc && $request.sourcedoc.indexOf(".") > 0) #set($currentspace = $request.sourcedoc.substring(0,$request.sourcedoc.indexOf("."))) #set($index = $request.sourcedoc.indexOf(".") + 1) #set($currentdoc = $request.sourcedoc.substring($index)) #end #if ($request.selspace) #set($currentspace = $request.selspace) #end <br><div class="left">Space:</div><br> <select name="selspace" onchange="location='?selspace=' + this.value;"> <option value="$!{request.selspace}">$!{request.selspace}</option> #foreach($space in $spaces) #if ($space == $currentspace) <option value="${space}" selected>${space}</option> #else <option value="${space}">${space}</option> #end #end </select> <br>Page Template: <select name="template"> <option value="" selected="selected">-- N/A --</option> #foreach($subdoc in $xwiki.getSpaceDocsName("$currentspace")) #if ($currentdoc == ${subdoc}) <option value="${currentspace}.${subdoc}" selected>$subdoc</option> #else #if ($request.selspace) <option value="${request.selspace}.${subdoc}">$subdoc</option> #else <option value="${currentspace}.${subdoc}">$subdoc</option> #end #end #end </select> <br>Page/Space Name: <div class="left"> <input type="text" name="title" value="Title" class="panelinput" style="margin:left;" onfocus="if(this.value=='Title') this.value=''" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Title'"/> </div> <div class="padded centered" style="text-align:center;"> <input type="submit" class="button" style="margin:left;" value="$msg.get("create")"/> </div> <p style="font-size:0.75em;padding-left:8px;">*New pages are created in current space</p> </form> #panelfooter() #end -----Original Message----- From: notifications-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Vincent Massol (JIRA) Sent: 01 October 2007 11:33 To: notifications(a)xwiki.org Subject: [xwiki-notifications] [Issue] Updated: (XAPANELS-22) Add space selection combo box to the "Create" Panel [ http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XAPANELS-22?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin .system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Vincent Massol updated XAPANELS-22: ----------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 1.2 M2 (was: 1.2 M1) > Add space selection combo box to the "Create" Panel > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XAPANELS-22 > URL: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XAPANELS-22 > Project: XWiki Panels Application > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 1.0 RC4 > Reporter: Vincent Massol > Fix For: 1.2 M2 > > > Right now it's very difficult for new user to find out how to create a page in a given space. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira _______________________________________________ notifications mailing list notifications(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/notifications Thales UK Ltd (Wells) DISCLAIMER: The information contained in this e-mail is confidential.
