[xwiki-devs] XWiki/XEclipse template/form system.
by Karel Gardas 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hello, I'm currently reading about XWiki and XEclipse and would like to ask if there is any consensus about XWiki pages templates which might also be usable from XEclipse probably after some code hacking on its plugins. I'm currently working on some project for my client (source code will be contributed/available later in the project stage) where there is a need to use XEclipse and enhance it to support some predefined forms/templates for web pages creation. So far I've found just XWiki FAQ tutorial on http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial which tries to deals with some kind of templates. However this looks quite general at least so far to me and so I would like to ask the question above about consensus where and how to go with templates in xwiki/xeclipse. My current idea is to stick with the XWiki server as a provider of templates to preserve ability to use templates from both browser and xeclipse and to enhance xeclipse new page creation wizard to provide a list of available templates on the server side... Thanks for any idea where to start or where to look for more information with regarding to this project task. Karel

[xwiki-devs] Searching page by title in space through RESTfulAPI
by xManish 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hi All, Is it possible to search(or get) a page in xwiki by its title through RESTfulAPI? I read in the forum that through RESTfulAPI we can only retrieve every page in a space and check whether page with given title exists. Or is it not the case? Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks, Manish -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Searching-page-by-title-in-space-through-… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] Personal data in XWiki
by Marie 28 Jun '11

28 Jun '11

Hello, My question is about personal data management in XWiki. How and where can I store personal data? For example a user could have a different skin from the other users when he logs in, or different documents (with personal content). I'd like to know how to do it. Thanks, Marie

[xwiki-devs] Application Within Minutes - Platform Changes
by Marius Dumitru Florea 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hi guys (especially Ludovic and Thibaut), I read [1] and [2] and I have a few questions. I would like to know very clear what UI/UX platform changes are you proposing independent of the Application Within Minutes. (A) Page creation 1. Unique page name Currently if you specify the name of an existing page in the default create page form you get an error message saying that the specified page already exists. Do you propose any change to this? Should we instead create a page with a similar name based on a specified strategy (e.g. MyPage1, MyPage2, with a simple counter strategy). 2. Skip page name Do you propose to remove the page name field from the default create page form (triggered from the Add > Page menu) and to automatically generate it from the title (using the default naming strategy)? 3. Implicit location Do you propose to remove the wiki/space fields from the default create page form and instead always create the page in the current wiki/space? i.e. Add > Page menu will add the page to the current wiki/space. 4. Implicit template Currently template providers can be limited to a list of spaces. Do you propose to automatically use a template provider if it is the only one defined for the current/selected space? 5. Create sheet/template Are you proposing to have a (slightly) different form even for plain wiki pages? e.g. replace the "Save & Continue" and "Save" buttons with a "Create" button. What other differences do you propose? ----- I talked with Caty about this and she is against 3. and 4. She would improve the current create page form by: * displaying all the templates independent of the current space (currently we display only the templates that can be applied to the current space although we can create the page in a different space) * when a template is selected, limit the list of spaces from the space selector so that the user can choose only a space where the selected template can be applied. (B) Display Resolution (1) Remove the "inline" editing mechanism What do you propose to do with the "Edit > Inline form" menu seen by the advanced users? Should we keep it and just replace the URL? What about simple users, will they be noticing any difference (since we already have just one Edit button that points to the proper edit mode)? (2) Sheet parameters Do you mean velocity variables defined in the sheet code? This will work only if the variables are used after the sheet code is evaluated. (3) Display Resolution Rules I could find fields for specifying display sheets (defaultViewSheet and defaultEditSheet) only in BaseClass (old core). XWikiDocument doesn't have any. This makes sense because sheets are in fact *class* sheets. That is, you write a sheet for a specific class, you don't write it for a specific document. Have I understood correctly that you want to be able to create a sheet for a document (not a class)? This could be useful for documents that have multiple objects and you need a sheet that displays data from all the objects (using the class sheet of one of the object types is not enough).

[xwiki-devs] The plan of GSoC project "Auto-completion in content editors" this week(6.27 - 7.3)
by 许凌志(Jamesxu) 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Hi, According to the discussion with Marius, I list the work plan for this week(6.27-7.3). Implement the skeleton of the auto-suggestion functions include following things: (1). Implement the function that logs a message in the firebug console whenever the caret is after [[ (but just that, nothing more!) (2). Implement the function that requests the list of wiki pages matching some prefix user input. BUT, don't actually query the database, instead simply return a dummy list from the server. (3). Implement the function that displays the list of wiki pages where the caret is, but using just a plain HTML list inside a DIV. *Nothing fancy*. No CSS! All these three things covers all the proccesses of the auto-suggestion functions, it will give an overview of the whole projects, and the rest of work will refine the skeleton gradually later. -- Best wishes, 许凌志(Jame Xu) MOE KLINNS Lab and SKLMS Lab, Xi'an Jiaotong University Department of Computer Science and Technology, Xi’an Jiaotong University

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Make all click methods be named click*() in UI functional tests
by Vincent Massol 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Hi, The proposal is to make all click methods be named click*() in UI functional tests. For example in ViewPage, instead of: public LoginPage login() { this.loginLink.click(); return new LoginPage(); } We would have: public LoginPage clickLogin() { this.loginLink.click(); return new LoginPage(); } Right now we have some methods starting with click and other not following this pattern, the idea is to homogeneize it. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

by 许凌志(Jamesxu) 26 Jun '11

26 Jun '11

Hi, These days with the help of Marius, I seperate my codes into sub-modules, and commit them with their test modules one by one In last week I have committed two modules: 1. suggestion box for link ( http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5268/5599744930_ff65ddfdc3_z.jpg) 2. suggestion box for image ( http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5063/5600563446_5f15f500d1_z.jpg) I have also written a readme document in the same dir of the two modules, to guide developers to run and test the modules seperately. -- Best wishes, 许凌志(Jame Xu) MOE KLINNS Lab and SKLMS Lab, Xi'an Jiaotong University Department of Computer Science and Technology, Xi’an Jiaotong University

[xwiki-devs] Xwiki android navigator
by Chamika Weerasinghe 24 Jun '11

24 Jun '11

Hi, I developed reusable component for xwiki naviagate as Eduard suggested. It's more likely a tree-view in android interface. https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/NfEuYpaUsBxUoEWE2DQuDg?feat=directlink source https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/android-client/tree/master/xwiki-android-c… It has some issues in viewing (does not show some bottom items correctly due to scrollbars) and I will solve them as soon as possible. Please suggest some ideas to make this nice looking for the user. Best Regards, Chamika Weerasinghe
