[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] What do we do about Object.get() Document.get() "api change"
by Thomas Mortagne 19 May '09

19 May '09

Hi devs, For 2.0 syntax we make XWikiDocument.display() enclose the result in {{html}}{{/html}} since it's supposed to generate html and that we should not have to use {{html}}{{/html}} in the syntax when we call $doc.display("somefield"). Now the issue is that public api Object and Document get() methods does not return the value but call display. But users (and us) used to access string value using $object.somefield instead of $object.getProperty("somefield").getValue() which is the correct form to access an object field value. Because of this wrong use of display() we have a big change in the api form user point so the question is what do we do ? I can see the following solution: 1) it's not a real change in the API, user should use the right way. It's ok like that. 2) we "optimize" XWikiDocument.display() by generating {{html}}{{/html}} only when it's necessary (if the result really is html) 2.a) if it contains "<" or ">" 2.b) when it's not a BaseStringProperty/NumberProperty/DateProperty since theses properties does not really need to produce HTML 3) we clean the display result in Object/Document.get by removing the {{html}}{{/html}} when the result does not really contains html (more or less the same way to find it than 2)) WDYT ? I'm +1 for 2.a) (I don't like b, i think the generic way is better) since i don't think we can "change" the API even if it's not a real change and this solution is not that much a hack, it makes display() return cleaner anyway. 3) as the advantage of fixing only the problematic API but it's really too crappy IMO

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Start migrating our XE XAR to 2.0 syntax for 1.9 final
by Vincent Massol 19 May '09

19 May '09

Hi, Following the mail vote for enabling the 2.0 syntax in 1.9 final we need to decide on our strategy for the XE XAR. I propose that we only support 1 XAR (since I don't think we have the manpower to support 2) and that this XAR is in 2.0 syntax. For 1.9 we would only convert a few pages (listed in http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3605) and in 2.0 we will continue till we have a full 2.0 syntax XAR. We would also add a warning in the release notes for 1.9 listing the pages that have been converted to 2.0 syntax. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Query] - MediaWiki2XWikiExtension
by Arun Reddy 19 May '09

19 May '09

Hi, I have a small doubt on how listener is implemented in MediaWiki2XWikiExtension Groovy Code Snippet -- http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extensions/MediaWiki2XWikiExtension <% import org.dom4j.io.SAXReader import org.dom4j.* import groovy.net.xmlrpc.* import java.net.ServerSocket import org.wikimodel.wem.mediawiki.MediaWikiParser import org.wikimodel.wem.xwiki.* class PruningPageHandler implements ElementHandler { def proxy, token; def counter = 0; def max = 10000; PruningPageHandler(proxy, token) { this.proxy = proxy this.token = token } def messages = [] public void onStart(ElementPath path) { } public void onEnd(ElementPath path) { def page = path.current def title = page.elementText('title') title = title.replaceAll(' ','_') def id = page.elementText('id') println(title+ '('+counter+')') def revision = page.element('revision') def revid = revision.elementText('id'); def revtext = revision.elementText('text'); def contributor = revision.element('contributor') def username = contributor.elementText('username') def index = revtext.substring(0, Math.min(30,revtext.length())).toLowerCase().indexOf("redirect") counter++; if (counter < max && index < 0) { revtext = revtext.replaceFirst("^-", "*"); revtext = revtext.replaceAll("__","") revtext = revtext.replaceAll("[\\|][\\+]","") def buffer = new StringBuffer() buffer.append(revtext) try { *def reader = new StringReader(revtext); def parser = new MediaWikiParser(); buffer = new StringBuffer() def listener = new XWikiSerializer(buffer); parser.parse(reader, listener);* } catch (Exception e) { println(e.getMessage()) } def map = new HashMap() map.put('content', buffer.toString()) map.put('modifier', username) map.put('space','Wikipedia') map.put('title',title) try { proxy.confluence1.storePage(token, map) } catch (Exception e) { println(e.getMessage()) } } page.detach() // prune the tree } } %> XWikiSerializer has a constructor with some class implementing IWikiPrinter . But how come a StringBuffer is used here. Am trying to simulate the same from a java application,and a fact that use of StringBuffer fails here. How to create a listener object in that case. Thanks and Best Regards, Arun Reddy

[xwiki-devs] We'll be at JavaOne !!
by Guillaume Lerouge 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hi XWikiers, Ludovic (XWiki's founder) and I (XWiki OSS product manager) will be at JavaOne in San Francisco from Sunday, May 31 to Saturday, June 6 included. We'd be really happy to meet and hook up with community members and XWiki users from the far side of the world :-) We'll be on OW2 booth from Tuesday, June 2 to Thursday, June 4 during the conference. We'd be really happy to meet with users outside the timeframe of the conference too... Simply let us know whether you're in the area and we'll go grab a beer while feverishly discussing XObjects and XClasses ;-) Also, Jim Grisanzio told me there would be many people from the OpenSolaris community hanging around, so JavaOne will be the perfect opportunity for other XWiki Users to discover what the OpenSolaris community has been doing with XWiki of late (cf. http://opensolaris.org/os/community/web/restructuring/preview/ for more information on the topic). Looking forward hearing from you guys (and gals !!), Guillaume -- Guillaume Lerouge Product Manager - XWiki Skype ID : wikibc http://guillaumelerouge.com/

[xwiki-devs] Problem with a test on 1.8 Snapshot
by Thomas Eveilleau 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hello guys, I'm developing my first application in syntax 2 for a customer. I started on a 1.8.2 XE and just moved on a 1.8 Snapshot (the latest build - 05/16). Here is my problem : I have a little #if in a #foreach that works on my 1.8.2 but not on my 1.8 Snapshot and I totally don't know why. #set($tradliste = $doc.getObjects("RimayCode.Traduction")) #foreach($traduc in $tradliste) #if($!traduc.langue == "Francais") $!traduc.langue : $!traduc.traduction <br /> #end #end On my 1.8.2 the "foreach" returns all the objects with the good values, and the "if" is a filter to display the items with a "Francais" value in the "langue" field. On my 1.8 Snapshot the "foreach" returns all the objects with the good values, but the "if" doesn't work : not any result. There is probably a pb, something new to do to create a test like this but I can't see what... "langue" is a static list with 4 options (1=Francais|2=Tibetain|3=...) Any idea ? Thomas

[xwiki-devs] Document Type Manager
by Chathura Prabuddha 18 May '09

18 May '09

Hai... I have some doubts regarding the Document Type Manager. I need some detail specification regarding the Document Type Manager.This is what I realised about it. According to the mockups http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Mockups/DocumentTypeManager figure 1: Is to define the class name and the space like the class editor wizard. But I'm not clear about the other fields "Create Invitation Text" and "Grid Invitation Text" As in the heading of the mockup its says "DocumentTypeManagerEditType". I'm not clear about from where the new document type is going to create. Is that Mockup is missing.Or is it this UI also use in creating the document.If so I feel that "Create this Document Type."button is missing. figure2 & 3: Use to add the properties for the new or existing document type and to define the properties of properties. I'm not clear about the next two tabs. Grid Tab: Lists the documents with the same type. Template Tab:Not clear about this tab. This is the action flow I had realised. 1.User define a new document type by giving a name and space .(So document manager creates the document based on the request paramerters)Or based on the selection of the document types from the list shown in the left side, Tab will shows the details regarding to the relevant selection. 2.Then user add the properties for the document type. Like in class editor wizard.(After clicking the save button document type complete its generation) I'm not clear about the action flow of the other tabs. (Grid and Template tab) As an abstraction what I was feel that this is same as the class editor wizard with different looking.Its like hiding the complxity of creating classes and sheets. All the things will be automated using this wizard.If I was wrong please correct me. Currently I'm studying the "class editor wizard code,protoype and smartclient".Hoping to get on to the design after I get the good understanding about the document type manager.

[xwiki-devs] Macro requiring js/css
by glenn_engel＠agilent.com 15 May '09

15 May '09

I have a java macro that requires the page to include an external js (e.g. jQuery) that works best if included in the head section of the document. Is there a way for a macro to trigger inclusion of resources like this to be included in the page header? In confluence this was done by having a #requireResource statement in a velocity template included by the macro. How can this be done in xwiki? -- Glenn
