[xwiki-devs] Photo Album API
by Edo Beutler 13 May '09

13 May '09

Hi devs, we are working with XWiki for about three years now (I think we started using it around version 0.8). In this time we developed several plugins, which we always planed to make open source to give something back to the community. However, until now we never found the time to do it. Now we saw in your GSoC proposals the project for a new photo album application. We thought this would be a good moment to contribute our photo plugin (or parts of it). Short list of features: - unzip an attached file and attach the contained files to a document (i.e. the photo album) - resize images to a maximum width and height maintaining the aspect ratio (if you like already while unzipping) - only jpg until now. When we wrote it, the XWiki image plugin stretched the images when width and height were defined. - read meta data from images (using http://www.drewnoakes.com/code/exif/ - sadly it seems the library is not updated anymore) The plugin would be the Java part only and not directly affect the GSoC project, since it seems to focus mostly on a new front end, but we think the plugin could add some features to it. (Maybe I could create a small example page if you are interested) I hope to hear from you wether you are interested and if so, what parts you are interested in. Also don't hesitate to ask if you have questions or need further information. Edo

[xwiki-devs] xwiki-core missing from maven?
by glenn_engel＠agilent.com 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hi, I'm trying to build a plugin and am unable to resolve XwikiDefaultPlugin. In looking at the source I was expecting it to be in artifactId xwiki-core but I don't see this in the maven repository. I put the following in my pom.xml but maven still is unable to find xwiki-core but is quite happy to find and download xwiki-component. <dependency> <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId> <artifactId>xwiki-core-component</artifactId> <version>${platform.core.version}</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.xwiki.platform</groupId> <artifactId>xwiki-core</artifactId> <version>${platform.core.version}</version> </dependency> Anyone know how to resolve this? Thanks, Glenn

[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Use our own bean populate tool instead of BeanUtils
by Thomas Mortagne 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hi devs, Currently we are using BeanUtils to convert and populate macros parameters and configuration. Problem is that BeanUtil has some limitations: - beanutils can't be configured to ignore case which is a pain for macro parameters - beanutils does not support enum or even base class so each enum converter has to be registered one by one - beanutils does not support public fields has bean properties - beanutils not not support any annotation based validation - we already have severall places in different components which use beauntil to load java bean and they can't share custom converters not provided by beauntil, a unique component will permit to add a bunch of converters when initializing it I propose to create our own component and api to deal with it. You can find a first proto on http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3171: * the entry point is PropertiesManager: it provide a populate method and cached beans descriptors * the populate method ignore case * the populate method validate the bean using JSR 303 (use hibernate-validator 4beta1 implementation) * if the bean implements RowProperties, the remaining property (the one non populated using setters of public fields) are given to it as custom properties * the populate method conversion use ConvertUtils so any registered Converter against ConvertUtils is supported * the populate method conversion also add support for: o any Enum conversion, no need to register each enum anymore o it also add support for Color conversion using "r,g,b" or "#xxxxxx" format * the populate method and the bean descriptor support public fields I would like to commit it in 1.9 or 2.0 branch (I would prefer 1.9 branch at least for the ignore case part and since it change some api used by macros it's better to commit it as soon as possible). Here is my +1 -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] Tag Cloud
by CASTRO roney 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hi all, I was using the tag cloud snippet , and it works pretty fine for the tags I created in my xwiki. But about this code, I have two questions: 1. Is it possible to create this cloud on the tags inside a specific space? 2. When click on a tag, I get the following error: Tags<http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Tags> No document has been tagged yet. Documents can be tagged from the information section (footer) or from the Document information panel available in edit mode. For more information on tagging please refer to the User Guide<http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/UserGuide/> Does anyone knows how to handle this ? Thanks in advance, Regards Roney Castro Roney Castro Business Efficiency Trainee Gemalto Tel: +55 11 5105-7670 - +55 11 7535-4135 Fax: +55 11 5105-7600 Av. das Nações Unidas, 12495, 8º Andar 05425-070 - São Paulo - SP - Brasil roney.castro(a)gemalto.com<mailto:[email protected]> www.gemalto.com<http://www.gemalto.com> [cid:[email protected]]

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] XE 1.8.4 release + Date proposal
by Vincent Massol 11 May '09

11 May '09

Hi, I'd like to propose that we do a last XE 1.8.4 release in order to further stabilize: - the office importer - the new WYSIWYG editor - the new rendering This release would be a short bug-fix release (except for the office importer that would add external process control + autostart). I'm proposing the release date of Monday 18th of May (same date as 1.9RC1 release btw). So far the following issues are planned: - HTML macro fix: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3791 + http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3792 - Office importer: Merge changes from trunk for "add external process control" + "autostart" In addition the following categories are wanted additions: - issues related to the Office Importer, to tables in the WYSIWYG in IE + overall WYSIWYG stability in IE - issues related to the justify / color / font plugin in the WYSIWYG (more IE testing) + issues related to the converter Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent
