[xwiki-devs] [UX][Standards] Vertical Forms + (Primary / Secondary) Buttons
by Ecaterina Valica 05 Aug '09

05 Aug '09

Hi Devs, I made on incubator (http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/) a Standards page. This is a work in progress and lots of things need to be added. We really need some standards in order to have consistency throughout the platform. So, for now I propose to use 2 standards: 1. (Primary / Secondary) Buttons http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/Buttons 2. Vertical Aligned Forms http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Standards/Forms I hope you will agree and start integrating these concepts in the development of new/existing components. Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] Support for Google Gadgets in pages in panels
by Ludovic Dubost 04 Aug '09

04 Aug '09

Hi devs, I've implemented support for Google Gadgets for pages and for panels. http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Gadgets/ It is possible to browse the Google Gadget Directory and select a gadget, set it's parameters and either: - insert a call to a gadget macro in a wiki page - create a panel with this gadget It's basically working, except for a few Gadget translations issues in the gadget settings page (for some gadgets). To integrate in XE this requires: - a slight modification to the PanelClass and the displaypanel macro (to support a gadgeturl and gadgetprefs field) - a few pages including a Gadget Groovy page (which requires programming rights) I think we should transform the Gadget Groovy to a plugin to avoid the need for programming rights. We can also from there create a special page type to make a display of gadgets or panels like iGoogle or NetVibes. It would store gadgets or panel lists in a special class with some position parameters. And with some JS we can reposition the panels or gadgets and save the config in the wiki page. This would be an easy way to make some portal like experience in the wiki. Who wants to takeover this from the dev team ? Do you think we can have this in 1.8 ?

[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Extend RESTful API
by Alexandru Cismaru 01 Aug '09

01 Aug '09

Hello. Currently I'm working at a Firefox extension for XWiki and I ran into some troubles because I can't obtain all the information I need from the current RESTful API. I've talked with Sergiu and Marta and they told me that I shouldn't use workarounds and an extension of RESTful API would be more appropiate. It would be useful to add: - a new element for every tag element from tags resource, representing the number of documents tagged with that tag; - a new element for every space element from spaces resource, representing the number of documents in that space; - two new resources: users and user. The information made available for every user could be: username, first name, last name, profile url, avatar, last modified page; - a new element for every page containing the type of the last modification (comment adding, atachment adding, content modification). Thanks, Alexandru Cismaru, gsoc student

[xwiki-devs] Blog Rss Upgrade Vows
by Andreas Schaefer 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi As the last items on the Blog 2.0 Upgrade I wanted to upgrade the RSS documents like GlobalBlogRss. There I ran into the issue that the renderer (I don't know which) is adding the macro as comment to the beginning of the XML file but that is not allowed because the <?xml must start the file (not even spaces are allowed). The upgrade code looks like this: {{include document="Blog.RssCode"/}} {{velocity filter="none"}} {{html clean="false" wiki="true"}} ## ## ## #getGlobalBlogEntries($entries) #set($entries = $xwiki.wrapDocs($entries)) #displayGlobalBlogRss($entries) {{/html}} {{/velocity}} The page output looks like this: <p> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> Does anyone know how to remove that comment or how to generate proper XML content with 2.0? If anyone can point me to some code that does that would be enough to get me started. Cheers - Andy

[xwiki-devs] Distributed events
by Thomas Mortagne 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi devs, I'm currently working on a network event distribution system. The goal is to be able to shared events across XWiki instance (or not XWiki) of a same network groups. There is two target: - unique easy clustering channel: if every XWiki instance of a network group share the events it's becoming easy to make sure all instance of the same cluster are synchronized and not only the code which is using default cache system - a new push communication interface to know what append on a farm for network administrator or for softs like XWord and XEclipse to easily update pages list etc... To summarize I plan to do a Remote Observation Manager module which send events coming for Observation Manager and inject in it events coming for the network. See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/DistributedEvents for more details (like events converters etc...). For now my choice is on jgroups for the network part which is simple to use, very configurable and well known. I looked at some other like JMS or Hazelcast but after all, I think jgroups contains all i need and is very light. Would be great if some of you who has experience on this (or not) could shoot with all remarks and suggestions. I should be able to commit a first try based on jgroups this week on sandbox. Thanks, -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] Search for Hidden XWiki Documents
by Andreas Schaefer 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

I am close to have the entire Blog Application upgraded to 2.0 Syntax (now I upgraded the Panels). That brings me back to the create an export of the application which is a pain in the next using the full export but does not work using the Import / Export Application. Looking into the I/E App I saw that it is using XWiki.searchDocuments(String sql) but that will not return any HIDDEN documents. The PackageAPI (used by the full export) is not providing a list and it seems it would break its indention to do so. So first I was wondering if there is a way to obtain a list of documents including the hidden ones? I not then I was wondering if we should export XWiki or should create another Plugin that delivers all documents? Finally I am thinking that we might should extend the full export (XWiki Administration) allowing a user to create custom exports more or less like the I/E application? Cheers - Andy
