LANG property in startup script in standalone version
by Vincent Massol 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hi, Does anyone know why we have the following LANG property defined in our startup scripts: #!/bin/sh export LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-1 JETTY_HOME=. JETTY_PORT=8080 JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx300m java $JAVA_OPTS -Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-1 -Djetty.port=$JETTY_PORT - Djetty.home=$JETTY_HOME -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar I think this is bad as it's french and I don't think we should set it for the user. That said, if it's there its probably because it was required in the past, hence my question here. To summarize: anyone sees any issue if I remove that "export LANG" line? Thanks -Vincent

Hello, I have managed to authenticate users with the Active directory through LDAP. However, all the users i login were shown the error message "You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action." when i am at http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome. I pressume the users records are not in the Xwiki database. Where and how do i create these records when the user first logon onto xwiki?

Attaching an image from another document?
by Vincent Massol 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hi, I'd like to attach an image to the current document but the image is attached to another document. I couldn't find the answer in the FAQ. It would be great if the {image:} radeox macro allowed for this. Right now the only solution I'v found (which is a bit ugly) is to use an HTML <img> tag as in: <img src="/xwiki/bin/download/XWiki/Toolbar/image.gif" /> Any other solution I would have missed?

[xwiki-devs] [proposal] JS and CSS improvements
by Ludovic Dubost 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Currently the albatross skin loads around 10 js and 10 css, which is quite a lot. We can improve loading time by: - compression and cache (raffaello will provide Apache configs specific to XWiki to help for that) - merging and optimizations of css/js (I've published http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/MergeCSS to help on that) - removing unused css/js (now we need to find which one are unused) - conditional loading of css and js. This last improvement can help us a lot since some of the css/js are not even used in view mode, or are only used by a specific panel. For this my proposal is to add a feature to the core to allow conditional loading of CSS and JS files. The current macros in the header would instead of putting CSS and JS add a placeholder for additional CSS and JS. Then everywhere where we need these CSS/JS (in a panel, in a wiki page, in a template) we would call a macro #includecss or #includejs This macro would add in the context the CSS and JS to add. At the end of the template rendering the placeholder would be replaced by the added CSS and JS. The page would be served. This would allow to manage the way CSS and JS are added. WDYT ?

[Proposal] Internationalizing XWiki Applications
by Vincent Massol 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi, Here's my proposal for internationalizing XWiki apps. The idea is to propose several solutions for XWiki apps writers: * Use case 1: I have lots of text on my page - solution: use XWiki's mechanism for translating page by creating several editions of the page in the different languages * Use case 2: I want translation resources for my application only and I'd like to share resources between pages - solution: use: $msg("mykey", "MySpace.MyTranslationDocForThisApplication") - MySpace.MyTranslationDocForThisApplication is a standard document to which a XWiki.PropertiesClass object is attached - It'll search first in that doc's PropertiesClass and if not found in XWiki's registered document bundles and if not there in XWiki's static resource bundle files * Use case 3: I want translation resources only for a given page - solution: use: $msg("mykey", $doc) - You'll need to have attached a PropertieClass object to the page where $msg is used - It'll search first in that object and if not found in XWiki's registered document bundles and if not there in XWiki's static resource bundle files * Use case 4: I want to have a global translation resources for all my apps in the wiki - solution: use: $msg("mykey") - You'll need to have created ad registered resource bundle documents in the Wiki preferences - It'll search first in XWiki's registered document bundles and if not there in XWiki's static resource bundle files Implementation details: * Add XWikiMessageTool.get(String, String) API * Add XWiki.PropertiesClass class in XE in the Administration Application + a class sheet for presenting the properties nicely WDYT?

[xwiki-devs] Single SVN repository vs several
by Vincent Massol 25 Feb '08

25 Feb '08

Hi, We need to decide if we want to have a single SVN repository or several. Right now we have 4: - main xwiki: XE, XEM, Watch, Curriki - chronopolys - xwiki workspaces - sandbox I prefer to have a single one for the following reasons: 1) Simpler Admin 2) Consolidate history 3) Ability to move sources from one project to another. For example the fact the sandbox is in a separate repo is a real pain since it's not possible to perform a svn move so we loose the history when we move things around 4) Complex to configure. You have to configure all your tools to point to several repos (IDE, etc) 5) Hard to configure external tools and no consolidated search, stats,etc. For example: ohloh, sourcekibitzer Note that Apache has a single repo for all its projects so it's not like this is something that is weird and that hasn't been done before. To be honest I don't see a single advantage to have several repos. However we would need to configure the SVN hooks to send svn commit emails to different mailing lists and do the user authentication based on *.xwiki.org mapped to directories in SVN, but that's not a problem. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] annotation plugin: how to access properties of a plugin
by antoine SEILLES 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

I have an AnnotationPluginApi.java class and i have a method to get all the annotations associated to a document: public Vector getAnnotations(Document doc){ return doc.getObjects("AnnotationClass"); } Now i'd like to have a method to get all the annotations associated to a document having a specific value specified in parameters for one field : public Vector getAnnotations(Document doc, String field, String value) Wich should return all the annotations having the value "value" for the field "field". How to do that? In fact, how to access fields of my objects "AnnotationClass"? Thank for your time. Ps: in AnnotationPlugin i have this method: public BaseClass getAnnotationClass(XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException { XWikiDocument doc; XWiki xwiki = context.getWiki(); boolean needsUpdate = false; try { doc = xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.AnnotationClass", context); } catch (Exception e) { doc = new XWikiDocument(); doc.setSpace("XWiki"); doc.setName("AnnotationClass"); needsUpdate = true; } BaseClass bclass = doc.getxWikiClass(); bclass.setName("XWiki.AnnotationClass"); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField("author", "Author", 30); needsUpdate |= bclass.addDateField("created", "Created", "dd/MM/yyyy"); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextAreaField("comment", "Comment", 40, 5); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextAreaField("selection", "Selection", 40, 5); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextAreaField("reformulation", "Reformulation", 40, 5); needsUpdate |= bclass.addNumberField("begin", "Begin", 100, "integer"); needsUpdate |= bclass.addNumberField("end", "End", 100, "integer"); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField("emotion", "Emotion", 30); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField("judgmentUniversel", "JudgmentUniversel", 30); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField("judgmentParticulier", "JudgmentParticulier", 30); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField("domain", "Domain", 30); String content = doc.getContent(); if ((content == null) || (content.equals(""))) { needsUpdate = true; doc.setContent("1 AnnotationClass"); } if (needsUpdate) xwiki.saveDocument(doc, context); return bclass; }
