[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] API modifications to the Rendering module to handle optional Transformations
by Vincent Massol 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi, We have the need to handle optional Transformations (for Annotations and more generally for user-introduced annotations). Here's what Thomas and I are proposing: 1) We remove the TransformationManager component from the Rendering module (public API). This means that calling code must lookup Transformations directly. 2) We modify the Converter interface in the Rendering module in 2 ways: - add a new signature that takes a list of Transformation as parameter - modify the implementation for the signature that take no Transformation params so that no Transformations are executed when it's used (API breakage) 3) We add a XWiki configuration parameter in xwiki.properties to list the transformations that must be executed (it's a list of component hints) when a document is rendered. If this config param is not defined then the default value will contain the Macro Transformation. 4) We introduce a new module called xwiki-presentation which will contain code to handle XWiki Presentation stuff. For example: - template handling - displayers (document displayer, object displayers, etc) - display configuration - more to be defined but related to presentation The idea would be to move stuff that is currently in XWiki/ XWikiDocument related to presentation there (for example XWikiDocument.getRenderedContent could be replaced by DocumentDisplayer.display(DocumentName, Syntax, Writer output) - to be defined later). 5) In order to allow modules to not depend on xwiki-core we introduce PresentationConfiguration in the new xwiki-presentation module defined in 4) with a getViewTransformations() method corresponding to a "presentation.viewTransformations" configuration parameter. 6) We introduce a new TransformationContext class similar to MacroTransformationContext and modify the Transformation API to: void transform(XDOM, TransformationContext) (instead of XDOM dom, Syntax syntax)). TransformationContext would contain 2 type of data: - the syntax - the list of transformations being executed (this is required by some Macros. For ex the HTML macro needs it and other may need it too) 7) We remove the getPriority() method from the Transformation interface 8) We modify calling code: WYSIWYG, XMLRPC, etc to use the new Converter API and to lookup PresentationConfiguration to get access to the list of view transformations to be executed. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent PS: A long and complex mail... sorry about that...

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Refactor rendering submodules to sort by syntax instead of by parser/renderer
by Thomas Mortagne 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi devs, I would like to reorg a little rendering submodule on svn/maven to have: xwiki-rendering - xwiki-rendering-syntaxes -- xwiki-rendering-syntax-wikimodel -- xwiki-rendering-syntax-xml instead of the current xwiki-rendering - xwiki-rendering-parsers -- xwiki-rendering-parser-wikimodel -- xwiki-rendering-parser-xml - xwiki-rendering-renderers -- xwiki-rendering-renderer-wikimodel -- xwiki-rendering-renderer-xml Because parsers and renderer for a same syntax usually share informations and are synchronized. Here is my +1 -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Add getRenderedContent method to xml-rpc
by Florin Ciubotaru 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

Hi devs, I want to add two new methods to the xml-rpc api: - String getRenderedContent(String token, String pageId, String syntaxId); - String getRenderedContent(String token, String pageId, String content, String syntaxId); Currently we are only able to get xhtml/1.0 output by using getPage and accesing page.Content from the methods output. We need this new methods to get the output in different syntaxes(Eg: annotatedxhtml). This is useful to parse the output for macros, images and links like we do in the wysiwyg. I'd like the code to go in the 2.0.4 release. The old method invocation required different method names. Since we don't have the xml-rpc cleanup in 2.0.4 we probably need to have different naming for the methods above. Since starting with 2.1 we use the Apache Xml-Rpc method lookup and invocation, we might be able to use the same name and different signature in the future. I'll need to check this. WDYT? Thanks, Florin Ciubotaru

For Hibernate.cfg.xml it is ok but when i upgrade from 1.9.3 to 2.0.3 I got a crash when I copied the entire xwiki.cfg. Regarding my script modifications : I change in login.vm (in colibri skin) the message regarding the forgotten message like follow : ## TODO: Replace this with an interface extension once IX are implemented #if($xwiki.exists("XWiki.ResetPassword")) ## <div style="font-size: 70%; margin-top: 2em;">Forgot your <a href="$xwiki.getURL('XWiki.ForgotUsername')">username</a> or <a href="$xwiki.getURL('XWiki.ResetPassword')">password</a>?</div> <div style="font-size: 70%;font-style:bold;color:#005A83; margin-top: 2em;">To connect, use your Network Id and password.</div> #end In a future, I hope to implement SSO...and then avoid such modification ;-) Cyril -----Message d'origine----- De : devs-bounces(a)xwiki.org [mailto:[email protected]] De la part de Vincent Massol Envoyé : mercredi 25 novembre 2009 12:23 À : XWiki Developers Objet : Re: [xwiki-devs] Automatic update On Nov 25, 2009, at 12:10 PM, MOUZELER Cyril wrote: > Currently this is my process: > > 1. download the XEM war > 2. unzip the file into my jetyt/webapps folder 3. configure > hibernate.cfg.xml This one is not needed.

What you could do is a diff between your version and the new version. In general whatever new config param we add has a default value that is similar to the old behavior so it shouldn't change anything. Personally I'd like to move all config files in a .xwiki directory in your user directory so that upgrades don't require you to remember to save your config and put it back. > Points 4 to 7 consume time. > I understand that the automatic process is complex (for example to > change the script...) I will have a look on the ExtensionManager. IMO the only real hard part is the upgrade of the XAR (ie the wiki pages). To reduce this burden you should try to not change pages packaged in the default XAR and instead create new pages. This will prevent you from overwriting changes. There's also a list of page you should not upgrade, listed in the Installation guide. It's for the XAR upgrade that we'd like to have the Extension Manager in the future.

Currently this is my process: 1. download the XEM war 2. unzip the file into my jetyt/webapps folder 3. configure hibernate.cfg.xml 4. in the xwiki.cfg set the ldap part(server, user, group), the stat part, virtual part, lucene part 5. in the xwiki.properties set OpenOffice part 6. in the xwiki itself , set the Alias for default name, the smtp server. 7. adjust some skins modifications, script modifications. Several times I tryed to copy directly the file but I got a crash (some properties in hybernate file change, new properties definition in the xwiki.cfg...). Points 4 to 7 consume time. I understand that the automatic process is complex (for example to change the script...) I will have a look on the ExtensionManager. Thx for your answer !

Hi all, Is it planned to develop a way to update xwiki automatically ? I have installed XEM on Windows using Oracle, ActiveDirectory, Exchange, Openoffice... To configure all, it takes time and it is not an obvious task. That's why i am wondering if there is a way to automatically update XEM without change the conf.

[xwiki-devs] [vote] move the annotations plugin / application from the sandbox to platform
by Anca Luca 25 Nov '09

25 Nov '09

Hello devs, as a result of the cleaning of the annotations extension, I propose to move it to the platform xwiki-plugins and the respective xwiki-applications. The application (client) could use a little more stabilization, but I prefer to do it when I get to the client improvements part, as presented in the last roadmap at http://markmail.org/message/5mnfhpdf2cgqlbop (at the end of mail). I would like to do that now since what we have now is runnable, somewhat usable, it represents a clean, correct version of what we have in the sandbox, a "zero point". I am starting to make improvements from here on. WDYT? Thanks, Anca
