[xwiki-devs] How to update Groovy from 1.0 jsr 06 to 1.0 stable?

by G.Schoepp

Hi, does anybody have an idea on how to update Groovy to 1.0 stable? IMHO this will affect a lot of XWiki documents. Will this affect the xwiki core library too? Guido

Re: [xwiki-devs] scroll bar

by goldring, richard

Anuj, You can put this on the page: <DIV STYLE="overflow: auto; width: 900px; height: 500; border-top: 1px gray solid; border-left: 1px gray solid; border-bottom: 1px gray solid; padding:0px; margin: 0px"> ...put your page contents here </DIV Only if you edit it with the WYSIWYG editor it reformats this code so there's no overflow i.e. the XWiki style macro doesn't support overflow for scrollbars. Anyone know how the style macro can be updated to support 'overflow'? Could XWiki pages support scrollbars by default? - especially useful for large tables! It would be good to be able to hide the menu bars when not needed - have since this on other wiki implementations. Hope that helps.

[xwiki-devs] Plugins and xwiki.cfg

by Erin Schnabel

I had a thought,as I sit here pulling up 1.1.1(finally), is there a reason we have so many plugins enabled by default? I'm not even sure anyone knows how to use most of the ones that are enabled. AND, as they're plugins, they shouldn't be on or enabled unless they're actually needed. I propose a space: XWikiPluginGuide. Each plugin would have a page in the guide describing: a) how to enable the plugin, b) what options are used by the plugin, c) how to invoke and use the plugin, and optionally d) who wrote the plugin and the version information (which that document could retrieve via a getVersion, getAuthor, or whatever call back to the plugin). A lot of plugins have a place where they check to make sure that document artifacts that they need exist. One of the things they would check is if "PluginGuide.pluginname" exists, where pluginname is what they return in response to getName(). If "PluginGuide.pluginname" doesn't exist, they'll create one, setting the title, etc. They *could*, in theory, either add a field to that document or use the document's inherent version to decide whether or not the document should be all out replaced at some later point, so that when the plugin is updated/loaded, the page is updated. The plugin code itself is the repository of all knowledge as far as what xwiki properties it understands, how the methods should be invoked, etc. That way, if I want to know how to use the feed plugin, I can just go to PluginGuide.feed, and find out. THEN... Since we have options documented in the plugin guide, we can remove blocks like this from xwiki.cfg: # To enable it, add "com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.graphviz.GraphVizPlugin" to the list of plugins # in the xwiki.plugins property. # Uncomment and set the locations of the Dot and Neato executables #xwiki.plugin.graphviz.dotpath=c:/Program Files/ATT/GraphViz/bin/dot.exe #xwiki.plugin.graphviz.neatopath=c:/Program Files/ATT/GraphViz/bin/neato.exe Same with lazlo, captcha, LDAP, etc. Anything that can be turned off should be removed from xwiki.cfg w/ appropriate PluginGuide docs describing how to turn it back on. If we *can't* turn it off, meaning that the default skin needs it, then we should note that, eh? I think the calendar plugin, for example, is used by more than just the EventCalendar pages (though I forget exactly where at the moment.. but it's in the code, not in the templates). If the plugins become too central to wiki function, like the Packager plugin, for instance.. it isn't a plugin anymore, and shouldn't be in the xwiki.plugins list in xwiki.cfg.

Re: [xwiki-devs] [ApplicationManager] [Proposal] Insert matching string in the list of documents

by goldring, richard

Hi, Does anyone know if the bug with XWiki rendering carriage returns has been fixed in the latest version of XWiki?

[xwiki-devs] applications & plugins

by Erin Schnabel

I am just full of feedback today. Is there a reason that an application (which would of course go in a xar) is created so far away from the plugin it's interdependent with? i.e. the Application Manager is one application that consists of both XWiki documents in a xar file and an Xwiki plugin. Having one half in plugins, and the other half in applications doesn't make a lot of sense-- they're one thing. The same goes with some of the other plugins, actually.. Some might have macros associated with them, and maybe they want those macros to be in the DB. A few of the plugins get around this by creating the documents they need programatically (as I suggested with the PluginGuide), but it seems like there has to be a better way of managing "plugins with an application face" then having them in separate trees. Then again, maybe I'm nuts. :-P -- 'Waste of a good apple' -Samwise Gamgee

Re: [xwiki-devs] Ref: Displaying lists of wiki pages given a set of criteria

Thank you Jean-Vincent, I'll try the code out once I've figured it out. It would be useful to have someone who 'knows' to document/write one or more tutorials on how to extract information from the XWiki database.

[xwiki-devs] Ref: Displaying lists of wiki pages given a set of criteria

by goldring, richard

Anyone? Hi all, Does anyone know how to generate a list of links to wiki pages that meet a set of defined features i.e. filter and sort (features defined on the objects or tags on those pages)? Perhaps like the Google search, list the first 20 or 30 pages and have a next/previous, 1, 2, 3, etc buttons to list the next selections of page links (to cope with the display of large numbers of page links). If anyones got any code snipits to get me started then that would be really useful - thanks. The idea is perhaps to explore how to use XWiki to semi automatically generate pages to record tasks or issues, and then to list those pages (tasks/issues) according to say the status or owners of those tasks/issues. For tasks I'm thinking XWiki might be used to help guide users through business processes and semi-automatically document they have followed those processes (for CMMI) so they can be simply audited. Documents generated through users following the tasks/processes can then be generated from templates and stored within the wiki. If anyone else has any ideas/code that could help perhaps realise this then let me know!
