Right... I'm working on implementing the new strategy agreed on so far with H1/H2 but I need more input to ensure everyone agrees - please comment on http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4552 I'll update the CSS in other skins at the same time.

But whenever I try to click on any of the spaces or history or any link available on the welcome page, it redirects to login page. I tried with different users logins but the problem is same and I am not able to do anything. Whenever I click somewhere it redirects to login page. Have I missed something? Regards Jasvent Singh

[xwiki-devs] Some serious I18N bugs
by Zhaolin Feng 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Hi, everybody. I'm new here and trying XWiki right now. I used TWiki before and considering switching from it. The main reason is better I18N support. And the underlying code and architecture seem to be more solid. But I found some serious bugs. Some of them are related to I18N. I've submit them to the JIRA. But before the next major release, I hope someone can post a patch or walkaround. Thanks. 1. In inlined form edit mode, can't select --- normal --- format. ====== http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4562 2. Ctrl+G with Asian characters cause AJAX: "Internal Server Error" ====== http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4561 3. i18n. In Blog Application. Can't create a catagory with Asian characters. http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XABLOG-86 Problem 1 is a very sever bug. Other than that, I encountered some problems with picture alignment and something else here&there. It's seems to have more bugs than the normal wysiwyg editor mode. So please someone tell me how to disable it in favor of the normal mode wysiwyg editor. Thanks again. -- ZhaolinFeng. -- -- Currahee! We stand alone together!

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Following Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
by Vincent Massol 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Hi devs, We've always tried to follow standards in the XWiki project. I'd like to propose that we start adhering to the WCAG ones to make XWiki even more accessible. The reason I'm proposing this is because XWiki SAS has been contacted by some Dutch organization promoting the usage of standards in Netherlands and they're interested in using XWiki for their site. As such they need that the wiki they use also follows the guidelines... They've found XWiki since it was one of the wikis out there that follows most closely the guidelines. This is our opportunity to meet the WCAG guidelines and go even beyond (since the Dutch guidelines go slightly further I believe, see http://www.webrichtlijnen.nl/english/guidelines/) . We would be the first wiki to meet this! If we agree we'll need to find some ways to automate the execution of the verifications. Right now we can test pages using this validator: http://www.webrichtlijnen.nl/english/test/ I've started verifying this page: http://playground.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ Result: http://www.webrichtlijnen.nl/english/test/report/74721/179372/ Some examples of failing stuff: 1) Style attribute forbidden. Everything from CSS. Ex from home page: <div id="globallinks"> <form action="/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebSearch" style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"> <div id="globalsearch"> <input id="globalsearchinput" type="text" name="text" value="search..." size="15" class="withTip"/><input class="button" value="Go" type="image" src="/xwiki/resources/icons/xwiki/search.png"/> </div> </ form> </div> ... <div class="hidden" id="spSpaceCreateForm"><form action="/xwiki/bin/ view/Main/?xpage=create" method="post"> <div> <input name="tocreate" type="hidden" value="space"></input> <input class="panelinput" name="title" onblur="if(this.value=='') this.value='Space name'" onfocus="if(this.value=='Space name') this.value=''" style="margin:auto;" type="text" value="Space name"></input> <input type="submit" value="Create"></input> </div> </form> </div> ... <p style="font-size:0.75em;padding-left:8px;"><a href="/xwiki/bin/ inline/Panels/QuickLinks">(Edit this panel)</a></p> 2) Need to run CSS Level 2.1 validation. Lots of error. For ex on home page: http://bit.ly/4x9YlM 3) Apparently we made a mistake by choosing to have 2 H1 (one for title and for headers). "The document hierarchy contains more that one h1 tags .". Before going further I'd like to ensure that we all agree to follow these guidelines and put in our best practices (and ensure we verify with some automated tests later on). Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

Hi, I was looking for yesterday for a widget/macro/application in XWiki that could provide a nice looking slideshow for some images (with transitions) with no success.

[xwiki-devs] Lucene search as default search?
by Vincent Massol 10 Nov '09

10 Nov '09

Hi, Should we make the lucene search the default search or not? In the default XAR the Lucene search is marked as experimental. This has been the case for a long time now. I think we need to do something about this. Do you think the Lucene search is working well enough to be set as the default? WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] How to import an i18n translation file?

Hi, everybody. I'm doing some translations in l10n.xwiki.org. I found there is a link "Get as application resource". Its contents are: ## XWiki Translation for language zh #Mon Nov 09 13:55:45 CET 2009 Blog.BlogClass_blogType=\u535A\u5BA2\u7C7B\u578B Blog.BlogClass_blogType_global=\u5168\u5C40\u535A\u5BA2\uFF08Wiki\u7684\u603B\u8BC4\u8BBA\uFF09 Blog.BlogClass_blogType_local=\u7A7A\u95F4\u535A\u5BA2\uFF08\u4EC5\u7A7A\u95F4\u8BC4\u8BBA\uFF09 Blog.BlogClass_description=\u63CF\u8FF0 Blog.BlogClass_displayType=\u7D22\u5F15\u663E\u793A Blog.BlogClass_itemsPerPage=\u6BCF\u9875\u6587\u7AE0\u6570\uFF08\u53EA\u5728\u5206\u9875\u663E\u793A\u6A21\u5F0F\u4E2D\u6709\u6548\uFF09 Blog.BlogClass_title=\u535A\u5BA2\u6807\u9898 I guess there is a way to import my translation back into my wiki, isn't there? Or would I have to wait for the next release for my translation to be applied? -- ZhaolinFeng -- -- Currahee! We stand alone together!
