[xwiki-devs] [UX][Consistency][Vote] "Page" vs. "Document" consistent naming
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Hi, We are using mixed naming when referring to a document/page, not only on different pages, but also in the same context (Rename step for example). There is also an issue referring to this problem XWIKI-5401<http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5401>and we need to find an answer in order to move forward consistency. So the question is which version we prefer: "Page" or "Document" ? I'm voting +1 for "Page". "Page" is more used IMO, especially in the "Space"/"Page" context. "Page" is more general than "Document" and better fitted for a platform that encapsulates all kind of content (not just documents). Please cast your vote. Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] Questions about fixing getRenderedContent() bug
by Vincent Massol 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi, Im trying to fix http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4274 Basically if you do $xwiki.getDocument("someDoc").getRenderedContent() it'll get executed in the context of the current doc which I believe is wrong especially since other signatures of getRenderedContent() execute in the target document's context. I have fixed this locally but found that admin.vm for example is assuming that getRenderedContent() will get executed in the context of the calling doc (i.e. XWiki.Import when doing an import for example). FYI the chain flow is admin.vm -- getRenderedContent() --> XWiki.AdminSheet --> XWiki.AdminImportSheet --> importinline.vm, which requires the current doc to be XWiki.Import (to get/put attachments from/to it). I can fix this easily using a new getRenderedContent signature I've introduced. However I'm wondering if we have other places that incorrectly use getRenderedContent() and assume it won't be rendered in the context of the target document. Is this change too dangerous to make? If not know, we'll need to it quickly (2.1M1?) since it's an important bug IMO. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Cleaning our POM deps by explicitly listing used dependencies?
by Vincent Massol 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hi devs, Running mvn dependency:dependency-analyze produces interesting results. For example: [INFO] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] Building XWiki Commons - Properties 3.2-SNAPSHOT [INFO] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- … [INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:2.3:analyze (default-cli) @ xwiki-commons-properties --- [WARNING] Used undeclared dependencies found: [WARNING] org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.6.1:compile [WARNING] javax.inject:javax.inject:jar:1:compile [WARNING] Unused declared dependencies found: [WARNING] org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-component-api:jar:3.2-SNAPSHOT:compile [WARNING] org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-test:jar:3.2-SNAPSHOT:test [WARNING] org.hibernate:hibernate-validator:jar:4.2.0.Final:test [WARNING] org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:jar:1.1:test [WARNING] org.jmock:jmock:jar:2.5.1:test The question is (for this module but more generally for all others): * Should we add slf4j and javax.inject reps in the pom.xml for this module? (for ex today slf4j and javax.inject are found in the component-api dep) I think we should, wdyt? Note that the "Unused declared dependencies found:" doesn't always generate correct results as is the case here. This is mostly because it's a static byte code check so any dep used at runtime will be considered unused. See http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnex-book/reference/optimizing-sect-dependen… Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Pretty Time library
by Vincent Massol 11 Jul '12

11 Jul '12

Could be useful: http://ocpsoft.com/prettytime/ Idea of usage: For ex we could use that to show the last modified document dates for dates in the past week (for ex): "Document created 2 days ago" It's in the maven central repo and it's under LGPL -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Improving documentation and automating our Release Notes when doing releases
by Vincent Massol 20 May '12

20 May '12

Hi devs, Sergiu has started a script to fully automate a release (more to come - Sergiu will document what it does soon). The only part not automated are the Release Notes. IMO we can "automate" it by a process which I propose to be: * An issue can only be closed if it's documented on xwiki.org and on the release notes page for the upcoming release. * We collectively enforce this by reopening issues if someone doesn't do the first point, asking him/her to do it This will have some nice effects: * xwiki.org will be more up to date than it is now * it's up to the developer to document what they do (I don't think it's good to push this to someone else) which is good since they have the most knowledge (side note: it doesn't mean we don't need a technical writer to improve on the documentation done by developers but it would be about style and not about content) * the release notes will be ready for the release, as we progress and the burden of writing the release notes will not fall on the shoulders of the Release Manager (there's no reason it should) * the whole release process will almost be a joy to do * with a fully automated release process it means we'll be able to perform a lot more bugfix releases which is good for our users Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] How to load GWT application on Xwiki pages?
by Leon Wang 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Hi Everyone! I have read this document "Writing GWT applications in XWiki" ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/WritingGWTApplicationsInXWiki) And I know how to develop GWT module for xwiki now. I also have read the document "WYSIWYG Editor Module" ( http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Modules/WysiwygEditorModule) I followed the instruction which tried to integrate the WYSIWYG editor(GWT application) in wiki pages, and I put the following code in my wiki editor: "{{html}} <script type="text/javascript" src="XWikiWysiwyg.js"> alert('WYSIWYG code is loaded!'); </script> <textarea id="demo"></textarea> <script type="text/javascript"> Wysiwyg.onModuleLoad(function() { new WysiwygEditor({hookId:'demo'}); alert('WYSIWYG code is loaded!'); }); Wysiwyg.onModuleLoad(function() { editor = new WysiwygEditor({hookId: 'demo'}); }); }); </script> {{/html}}" After saved, it only display a blank text area without any sign of WYSIWYG editor, also there is no alart 'WYSIWYG code is loaded!' popup. Can you help me figure it out what is wrong with it? I am planing to develop a tree view using GWT to display Design Rationale Element. Could you give me some ideas of after my development, how can I embeded the GWT application into Xwiki pages and interact with the GWT application? Thank you very much! Leon

[xwiki-devs] XWiki logo around
by coldserenity 20 Nov '11

20 Nov '11

Hi, I remember once there was a contest for new XWiki logo but due to elections fail (there would have been too many unsatisfied people if any of newly suggested logos had been approved) the process has gracefully ended (which, in my opinion, was a good decision) I also think that it would be worthless to conduct another competition/election amongst users because as the saying goes - tastes differ. The only thing users can contribute are their ideas (which might be accepted or might not which is fair) regarding shapes and symbols to use. Decision about visual design should be made within very very small circle of visual designers probably with one or two people involved in the project to chill down designers' burning imagination :) Having all of the above said, I would suggest to collect a set of shapes and symbols for new XWiki logo each supplied with description of underlying meaning. And then (having revised all of the comments in some of the former posts regarding what new logo should be: symmetric/asymmetric, complex/simple, round/firm) provide all that to a designer to draw several sketches. And then by internal vote (at maximum the development team members involved) choose the new logo. This thread is for storing all of the ideas on the new XWiki logo. At least that's what I (as a user) will be using it for may any ideas to come. Join :) Regards, Roman -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/XWiki-logo-around-tp6074956p6074956.html Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Adding notions of Locale and Version in EntityReference
by Vincent Massol 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi devs, After much brainstorming with Thomas and with the implementation of the new model I'm doing, we've come to the conclusion that it would be better to add the notions of Locale and Version in EntityReference. The main reasons are: * otherwise we need to introduce a notion of UniqueEntityReference in the model and it makes it very awkward at an API level (user need to constuct a UniqueEntityReference from an EntityReference depending on the APIs used) * it makes APIs more complex than what they could be. For example: - getDocument(EntityReference) - getDocument(EntityReference, Locale) - getDocument(EntityReference, Version) - getDocument(EntityReference, Locale, Version) vs - getDocument(EntityReference) (subnote: this is why I introduced UniqueEntityReference in the model) * It'll mean that anywhere we use an entity reference we'll be able to reference a specific version of that entity and/or a specific language. Some example: including a specific version of a page, referencing a specific version of an attachment in wiki syntax, etc. In a first version I'd like to only introduce a generic get/setAttributes (to allow extensibility) in EntityReference + get/setLocale/Version (for easiness of access). ATM I'm not planning to define a textual syntax for attributes (but it could something like: wiki:space.page[name1=value1, … nameN=valueN]). I'm not asking to vote on this. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] How to use RESTFUL API to insert Objects on Pages
by Mark Wallace 16 Nov '11

16 Nov '11

Hi all. Short version of my question: Can anyone point me to an example of adding object of a custom class to a page via the ReSTful API? And now for the long version of my question: I can successfully create a page using REST, but can't add an object. Here is the problem step by step. 1) Using this XML definition in a file called AlinaPage.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xwiki:page xmlns:xwiki="http://www.xwiki.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xwiki.org C:\Users\mwallace\ Desktop\xwiki_rest_model.xsd"> <xwiki:link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey/o…" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/o bject"></xwiki:link> <xwiki:id/> <xwiki:fullName/> <xwiki:wiki/> <xwiki:space>Main</xwiki:space> <xwiki:name>Alina Frey</xwiki:name> <xwiki:title/> <xwiki:parent/> <xwiki:parentId/> <xwiki:xwikiRelativeUrl/> <xwiki:xwikiAbsoluteUrl/> <xwiki:translations/> <xwiki:syntax/> <xwiki:language/> <xwiki:version/> <xwiki:majorVersion>1</xwiki:majorVersion> <xwiki:minorVersion>0</xwiki:minorVersion> <xwiki:created>2011-07-02T12:32:00-04:00</xwiki:created> <xwiki:creator>XWiki.mwallace</xwiki:creator> <xwiki:modified>2011-07-02T12:32:00-04:00</xwiki:modified> <xwiki:modifier/> <xwiki:content>{{include document="XWiki.PersonSheet"/}}</xwiki:content> </xwiki:page> 2) I do the following command, which adds the page successfully: C> curl -u mwallace:password -X PUT --data-binary "@AlinaPage.xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey 3) The resulting page from a HTTP GET is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <page xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org"> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/space"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina%20Frey…" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/history"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/syntaxes" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/syntaxes"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey" rel="self"/> <link href="http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/classes/Main.Alina%20Frey" rel="http://www.xwiki.org/rel/class"/> <id>xwiki:Main.Alina Frey</id> <fullName>Main.Alina Frey</fullName> <wiki>xwiki</wiki> <space>Main</space> <name>Alina Frey</name> <title>Alina Frey</title> <parent/> <parentId/> <xwikiRelativeUrl>http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Alina+Frey</xwikiRelativeUrl> <xwikiAbsoluteUrl>http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Alina+Frey</xwikiAbsoluteUrl> <translations/> <syntax>xwiki/2.0</syntax> <language/> <version>4.1</version> <majorVersion>4</majorVersion> <minorVersion>1</minorVersion> <created>2011-07-02T12:45:12-04:00</created> <creator>XWiki.mwallace</creator> <modified>2011-07-02T21:33:48-04:00</modified> <modifier>XWiki.mwallace</modifier> <content>{{include document="XWiki.PersonSheet"/}}</content> </page> 4) But then, using this definition of an object in file AlenaObject.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xwiki:object xmlns:xwiki="http://www.xwiki.org" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.xwiki.org C:\Users\mwallac e\Desktop\xwiki_rest_model.xsd"> <xwiki:id/> <xwiki:guid/> <xwiki:pageId>Main.Alina Frey</xwiki:pageId> <xwiki:wiki/> <xwiki:space>Main</xwiki:space> <xwiki:pageName>Alina Frey</xwiki:pageName> <xwiki:className>XWiki.PersonClass</xwiki:className> <xwiki:number>0</xwiki:number> <xwiki:headline/> <xwiki:property name="_knows"> <xwiki:value>Main.Alena</xwiki:value> </xwiki:property> <xwiki:property name="_knows"> <xwiki:value>Main.Judi Wallace</xwiki:value> </xwiki:property> <xwiki:property name="name"> <xwiki:value>Alina Frey</xwiki:value> </xwiki:property> </xwiki:object> 5) I try the following command, which does NOT insert the object properly: C> curl -u mwallace:password -X PUT --data-binary "@AlinaObject.xml" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" http://localhost:8080/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki/spaces/Main/pages/Alina+Frey/o… 6) Rather, I get this error message: <html> <head> <title>Status page</title> </head> <body> <h3>The server has not found anything matching the request URI</h3><p>You can get technical details <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10.4.5">here</a>.<br> Please continue your visit at our <a href="/">home page</a>. </p> </body> </html> What am I doing wrong? -- Mark Wallace Principal Engineer, Semantic Applications Modus Operandi, Melbourne, FL, USA
