[xwiki-devs] XWiki Watch questions, push API
by David Donohue 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hello, I am impressed with XWiki Watch. I have not found a product like it, and it fulfills some useful business use cases. I am curious how easy it is for me to push data into XWiki from an external Java process? Does your API permit me to push a set of records (and their tags) into XWiki Watch? I am curious how custom is XWiki watch? Presumably XWiki Watch records are similarly stored and accessed as regular XWiki pages/posts? Thanks! David Donohue

[xwiki-devs] Consider for GSOC idea: "import administration enhancement/feature request" ??
by Niels Mayer 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Not for me... but for some enterprising GSOC applicant: Seems like this could be a good and achievable "closed-end" project that doesn't involve complicated multi-system integration (and multi-points of failure), just some new xwiki code based on examples already written. Code that IMHO would be very useful: On Mon, Mar 16, 2009 at 3:02 PM, Niels Mayer <nielsmayer(a)gmail.com> wrote: > In addition to selecting a xar and allowing a user to check to allow the > xar's content to blindly overwrite the previous entry; add a third option > "merge". > > When "merge" is selected, for that selected document, the diffs between the > uploaded-xar and the current db are presented in a "mergediff-in-browser" > style, allowing selection of original content from the db versus xar. > clicking "ok" then collapses the diff and remembers the choices taken. > > When the user has either selected the xar files they want to import > directly, or used the mergediff tool above to select the contents of the new > file, they click "import" and it's done.

[xwiki-devs] requesting consistent application of XWIKI-2149 for feed URLs: ?xpage=rdf -> ?xpage=plain
by Niels Mayer 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

A few weeks ago, Marius Dumitru Florea<http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=mflorea>posted this helpful hint in response to my question http://n2.nabble.com/support-for-google-sitemaps-and-webmaster-tools--%28an… I look at http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2149?focusedCommentId=25334&page=co… http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/platform/core/trunk/xwiki-core/src/main/… FYI, it turns out this issue is also the source of bugs that might occur in a few places in the 1.8 final XAR, including the search-document's search-feed URL, for example: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-400 The following issue has been reopened. *Author:* Niels Mayer, > http://nielsmayer.com<http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=nielsmayer> > *Date:* 02/Apr/09 18:50 > *Comment:* > I have updated all my sites to 1.8 final and the problem persists.

New RSS urls with this revamped mechanism are of the type "/xwiki/bin/view/Space/DocRss?xpage=plain" (while the current way is /xwiki/bin/view/Space/DocRss?xpage=rdf"). I propose we add an action that return the "plain.vm" velocity template as entry point to render the document, and map a new "/feed/" action to it. This would allow us for example to have a blog feed URL like this : "/xwiki/bin/feed/Main/BlogRss" when the blog will actually use this new mechanism for its feed. I would also like to map an action with a more generic name to it, like "/plain/". "xpage=plain" is for example used when we create pseudo-REST web services (for example, all the AJAX/gridview features in XE do use URLs of that type). I believe it would be nice to have in the service request URL only parameters linked to the actual service. Thus I would propose we have something like "/xwiki/bin/plain/XWiki/MyService?myparam1=myvalue&..." ............. Unlike search, the tags document displays an "rdf" style feed which does display correctly in Firefox: http://morgellonswiki.info/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Tags?action=viewTag&tag=Lyme displays "RSS Feed" link http://morgellonswiki.info/xwiki/bin/view/Main/TagsRss?xpage=rdf&tag=Lyme [ Show » <http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-400> ] Niels Mayer, http://nielsmayer.com<http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=nielsmayer>added a comment - 02/Apr/09 19:07 Unlike search, the tags document displays an "rdf" style feed which does display correctly in Firefox: http://morgellonswiki.info/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Tags?action=viewTag&tag=Lyme… "RSS Feed" link http://morgellonswiki.info/xwiki/bin/view/Main/TagsRss?xpage=rdf&tag=Lyme Niels http://nielsmayer.com

Hi devs, XE 1.8.1 is planned for the 6th of April (next Monday). I propose we plan a XE 1.8.2 two weeks after, i.e. for the 20th of April. The goals is that it'll contain the issues planned for 1.8.1 that are not finished: http://tinyurl.com/cpanfc Again the idea is to make rendering/wysiwyg bug fixes and improvements available to our users ASAP. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Gsoc -- 2009] Questions concerning the Import Export from any other Wiki Project
by Keerthan MUTHURASA 02 Apr '09

02 Apr '09

Hello, I am Keerthan Muthurasa , Msc Software Engineering student at Oxford Brookes University , I am interested on doing a project for xwiki. I would like to discuss about my ideas for the "Import Export from any other Wiki Project" and if you could in return give me your opinions that would be really helpfull for me. This is the project requirement : ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Import Export from any other Wiki<http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/ImportExportfromanyo…> Create a extensible framework to import export data between wikis. This should handle converting the data in the pages including links between pages and metadata as well as direct access to the data through either a web service (prefered) or database or the file system The system should at least for MediaWiki and Confluence in import mode ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I will begin with some questions: * What does it mean when talking about converting links between pages ( we are talking about converting internal links in the source wiki isn it ?, That's mean when importing or exporting data we should think about exporting or importing the linked data as well in order to keep an integrity). * What does it mean when talking about exporting metadata ,direct access to data through either a web service or database or file system ? Here my idea for the project , if I can have some feedback it would be helpfull for me: When exporting or importing data from a given wiki to a destionation one Setp 1: get rid of all specific synthax proper to the source wiki and retrieve data,metadata, and other usefull information.This can be achieved using a kind of parser whose job is to scan the source page and reconize the specific synthax and only retrieve proper data.Concerning encountered links ,we should convert theses pages as well but we have to be carefull when cross linked ( for instance we are converting page A and A links to B but when converting B ,B links to A). Step 2: adopt a datacentric approach to properly store data in a such a way that is easy to retrieve them.We have to be carefull when storing data since they have to keep the original pages structure. Step 3: use previously retrieved data to create the result page in the destination wiki using the wiki specific synthax for destination wiki. I am having a look at wikiModel that seems to contain a parser.I am also trying to understand Plexus. A Many thanks for your advices. Regards, Keerthan Muthurasa
