[xwiki-devs] FYI: new MIT simile widget -- itunes cover-flow image/doc selection?
by Niels Mayer 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

This could be an interesting way to select media (images, video/audio, documents) in xwiki: http://www.simile-widgets.org/runway/ > This widget lets you display images in a rich interactive visualization > similar to that of Apple iTunes known as Cover Flow. It is a Flash-based > implementation ... The Flash widget can fire events to update the web page's > Javascript. .... The web page's Javascript can change the Flash widget on > the fly. Documentation<http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Runway> > Mailing List <http://groups.google.com/group/simile-widgets> (for > technical support, etc.) Code<http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/source/browse/#svn/runway/trunk>(open source, BSD license)... > I think it would be useful in the anchor/link wizard in the wysiwyg editor, lending an itunes style album-cover-flipping style interface to process of link and image. selection in xwiki. It would be great if we could render semi-readable scaled-down thumbnails of existing xwiki documents in the cover-flow browser. Yet another GSOC project... though I bet the basic interface to 'runway' is pretty trivial in xwiki ... (e.g. of similar complexity and interface-ability is the youtube chromeless player: http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Todo/YoutubeChromelessPlayer then again ... I can't figure out why my example doesn't work in IE, yet fine in safari&firefox -- probably because having a menagerie-a-trois of languages to deal with by adding flash to the picture always leads to trouble...)

[xwiki-devs] JCaptcha 2.0 integration
by Jerome Velociter 15 Mar '09

15 Mar '09

Hello Devs, I'm starting to think about the integration of JCaptcha 2.0 (http://forge.octo.com/jcaptcha/confluence/display/general/Simple+Servlet+In…) that would deprecated our current Captcha plugin. I think we need it as a component, for example xwiki-captcha We can have a CaptchaedRequestValidator component interface that declares the following method : boolean validateCaptcha(HttpServletRequest request); which would be called from the register action, comment add action, etc. (anywhere a captcha is needed - we could even expose a velocity API if we need it) WDYT ? Regards, Jerome.

The RSS macro and its RSSMAcroParameters class should extends the Box macro since it's exactly the goal of AbstractBoxMacro. The way it works currently make copy the same parameters in BoxMacroParameters and RssMacroParameters when we should have RssMacroParameters extends BoxMacroParameters. This would remove some useless code in rss macro...

However I don't think this is a good generic solution for the future. I think it would be better to implement a temporary storage that uses the same storage api as the other storages (main storage, version storage, attachment storage, etc). The pb with returning a File is that 1) it ties us to a disk storage which might not be available in all environments for various reasons and 2) it's not extensible and you cannot swap another implementation (like it you want to use a memory storage for example). For this we need the new storage/model of course which is why it's ok to have this now. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] support for google sitemaps and webmaster tools? (and why do xwiki RDF's give "unsupported file format"?)
by Niels Mayer 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

Has anybody figured out a way to get xwiki to generate a Google sitemap as an alternative to RSS feeds? (see http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html ). Also, video sitemaps ( http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=80472&cbid=sw…) would be useful to index xwiki attachments and media on media search engines ( http://video.google.com/ ). Video sitemaps are predicated on MRSS: *Using an mRSS feed as a Video Sitemap* back to top<http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=80472&cbid=sw…> Google supports mRSS <http://search.yahoo.com/mrss>, an RSS module that supplements the element capabilities of RSS 2.0<http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html>to allow for more robust media syndication. If you publish an mRSS feed for the video content on your site, you can submit the feed's URL as a Sitemap. For detailed information on creating an mRSS feed, including samples and best practices, please see the Media RSS specification<http://search.yahoo.com/mrss>. Google also supports RSS 2.0 using enclosures tags for video content and thumbnail urls. **Sitemaps seem to use their own protocol: > *XML Sitemap Format* > > The Sitemap Protocol format consists of XML tags. All data values in a > Sitemap must be entity-escaped<https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html#escaped>. > The file itself must be UTF-8 encoded. > > A sample Sitemap that contains just one URL and uses all optional tags is > shown below.

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Java Logging configuration file
by Fabio Mancinelli 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Dear all, Restlet uses as its logging system the Java Logging System provided with the JDK. So in order to vary its verbosity it's needed to configure that system by providing a logging.properties like the one located in the JRE/lib. This properties file is ether passed as a system property through a -D parameter to the JVM, or explicitly loaded and set using LogManager.getLogManager().readConfiguration(); In order load this configuration file I did the following: I placed a logging.properties file in WEB-INF and loaded it in the init() method of a subclass of the Restlet Servlet. Now there are several possibilities wrt to where to place the logging.properties and how to actually name it. 1) WEB-INF/logging.properties 2) The resources of the REST module 3) XWiki Core. I am +1 for 1 (maybe we can call it java-logging.properties) WDYT? Cheers, Fabio

[xwiki-devs] Customizing XWiki to integrate with a Social Networking Site
by rupinder.singh＠wipro.com 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hi Devs, I have a requirement to customize XWiki to integrate with Communities in a Social Networking Site that I am developing. Members of a Community should be able to view/edit documents created by other members of the same community but they should not be able to view/edit documents created by members of other communities. Essentially, we want to introduce a 'Community Scope' in XWiki. The number of communities and members grows with time, obviously. I think such a feature is not available out of the box. I am planning to do some customization on the Groups feature of XWiki to achieve this requirement. Here is an outline of the approach. 1. When a new community gets created in the social site, create a new Group of corresponding name in XWiki programatically. (need to know what API to call). 2. When a user joins a community, automatically add the user to the XWiki group associated to that community. 3. When a user creates a new document in the community's XWiki, gives rights to the associated community's Group to that document. The Rights module of XWiki will automatically take care of the authorization when that document is requested by any user. The challenge seems to be identifying the right places in code to make changes for 1 and 3. (#2 I can try to achieve by overriding XWikiUser.isUserInGroup() to plugin my custom implementation). Any pointer in this regard will be greatly appreciated. If there is an alternative approach to what I am planning, that would be great too.

[xwiki-devs] Vandal-proofing features?
by Lilianne E. Blaze 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hello, What's the current status with: 1) Captcha support on registration? 2) Captcha support on anonymous comments? (And by captcha I mean something more complicated than "what's 2 + 2?") 3) Sending e-mails with "thanks for registering, click link-here to activate your account"? 4) Ability to set a SMTP server which requires username+password? Please, there are many systems where an open smtp, even on localhost, simply can't / won't be allowed. 5) Ability to delete all comments from a specific user? 6) ... specific IP? 7) ... specific IP range? 8) ... all anonymous comments from a page? I saw "xwiki.plugin.captcha=" option in xwiki.cfg but it doesn't seem to do anything? I really can't see how XWiki can be run in "public mode" without all or most of the above :/ , preferably enabled out-of-the-box. Greetings, Lilianne
