Hello, I am working on creating blog entries using xwiki. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a template for the blog entries so that they will be more structured? Thank you for your time and help! Hande Aksac

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XWiki "2.0" Syntax

by Vincent Massol

Hi, Since I'm rewriting the new Rendering component (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewRenderingArchitecture) , we need to finalize the new syntax we want to have. Right now I'v planned to use the same wiki syntax as now (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ XWikiSyntax#HTextStyles) with only one change: all macros now need to be closed. For example: {macro}...{/macro} and {macro:text|param=value|.../} Is that ok with everyone or do we want to make changes? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Deprecation strategy

by Vincent Massol

We need a deprecation strategy, i.e. decide for how long we keep @deprecated methods/classes. I propose to keep them for 2 full releases after the current version is released as final. For example if a method is deprecated in, say Core 1.3M2 then the method will be removed in 1.6M1. Of course any major new release can deprecate anything so a XWiki 2.0 is expected to break backward compatibility. So for methods deprecated in 1.0 we can remove them in 1.3M1, M2, etc. WDYT? If ok then I'll add this to our dev practice guide too. Note that for this to be easy anyone deprecating methods should add the information of when it was deprecated. For example: /** * @param time the time in milliseconds * @return the time delta in milliseconds between the current date and the time passed * as parameter * @deprecated replaced by {@link com.xpn.xwiki.api.Util#getTimeDelta(long)} since 1.3M2 */ public int XWiki.getTimeDelta(long time) { return this.util.getTimeDelta(time); } Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

LANG property in startup script in standalone version

by Vincent Massol

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

Re: [xwiki-devs] ntlm with xwiki [END]

by Colin Tay

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

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] Wysiwyg editor plans

by Stéphane Laurière

Hi everyone, It's getting clear from the dev and user communities that the wiki editor module is getting kind of bottleneck for document editing and advanced apps writing. So this is one of the hottest XWiki development topics this year. Ludovic prototyped a new generation editor entirely based on GWT 1.4 + GWT RichTextEditor featuring also real-time collaboration capabilities. On his side, Mikhail from Cognium Systems investigated several strategies. All current partakers in this project, can you update the following page with your ideas and links to existing prototypes? http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorBasedOnGwt Let's discuss the various strategies on the list, with pointers to Web pages whenever possible (yes, email is obsolete [1], we'll have to bootstrap the new communication tools, and this wysiwyg will be a big part of them). Beside the technical aspects, we'll have to discuss also the licensing and the hosting (XWiki versus other independant forges) aspects.
