[xwiki-devs] Why is Utils#getRedirect() returning absolute URLs?
by Marius Dumitru Florea 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hi devs, HttpServletResponse#sendRedirect() accepts relative URLs. Do you know or remember why we explicitly generate absolute URLs in Utils#getRedirect() which is used in lots of places in old core to get the redirect URL. There is no comment to explain why we treat redirect URLs different than the rest of the URLs we generate (which are relative). I would like to change Utils#getRedirect() to generate URLs relative to the servlet container root as it should. Here's the change https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/029ece1585ad03fd6402c12446be… (on an old branch). Thanks, Marius

[xwiki-devs] Korean translation review
by Sergiu Dumitriu 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hi devs and users, It looks like the Korean translation is broken in several places. While most translations are OK, some are just random ISO-8859-1 characters, probably a bad encoding setting when the file was initially imported into l10n.xwiki.org. Could someone look at the translations and at least remove the broken ones? Anybody can remove broken translations from http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/XE/XWikiCoreResources?action=viewall&langua… If they look like 스페이스 블로그 (스페이스 내 포스트 모음) they're good. If they look like Îì±Î°ù Ï†ïÎ≥¥ Ïù¥Î¶ÑÏùÄ Ïù¥ ÎÑ§Ïù¥Î∞ç they're bad. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

[xwiki-devs] [Contrib] Repository request: xwiki-testreporting-application
by Sorin Burjan 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hello, I have worked in the past months on a application based on XWiki to be able to add test cases, mark executed test cases in a nice and easier way, and have a better visibility over the manual testing we perform when testing XWiki. The application was designed to be as generic as possible, so anyone can use it for their purpose. I'd like to request a repository on contrib so I can commit it in order to obtain feedback and code review. repo i'd like to have: xwiki-testreporting-application, but if you have a better suggestion, feel free to tell me. Regards, Sorin B.

[xwiki-devs] L10N Upgrade to 4.4 and Custom Mapping
by Ludovic Dubost 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hi, I've modified l10n locally to support custom mapping and updated all the HQL queries which required it. Quick testing shows that it is working. I'll need a test server to do some performance testing, as well as migrate to innoDB and see if everything is working fine. While looking at the l10n server, there seems to be regular out of memory which I don't understand where they come from as the server is setup with 1GB. It could come from the L10NGroovy caches but it might be necessary to do some testing using a memory analyzer. Once the migration is ready, we'll probably need to take l10n offline for a day to perform the migration on the latest data. During this process I would like to publish the l10n application on xwiki-contrib. Could somebody create the "application-l10n" repository ?

Re: [xwiki-devs] How to Include a page without velocity code into another page
by Geo Du 19 Jan '13

19 Jan '13

Hi Marius, Thanks for your response, the get action works very well for rendering the target link as a part of my current page if the target link is originally for view action, now I need to edit this content, which is only a part of the page, I only need to edit this part, I tried to use get action to get the dom portion of the edit action content and render it for this area in the page, but it does not work, with get, I can only get the dom for view html content, not edit html content, for example, for this url: http://mydomain/xwiki/bin/edit/blog/Bering+Land+Bridge if I use http://mydomain/xwiki/bin/get/blog/Bering+Land+Bridge, I will get the content for view action of this: http://mydomain/xwiki/bin/view/blog/Bering+Land+Bridge, not the content for the edit action, I like to display the edit inline form for this area so users can edit this part and keep the other parts of the page unchanged. Any suggestions? Thanks very much for your thoughtful help.

[xwiki-devs] Improvements to L10N to see a quick status by language
by Ludovic Dubost 18 Jan '13

18 Jan '13

Hi, I've done some improvements on L10N to allow to have a status of the Platform/XE/XEM translations by language. The supported language panel now points to this page: http://l10n.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/L10N/StatusByLanguage?language=fr which shows how many missing translations we have for each bundle of Platform/XE/XEM. Note that the first time this page is called for a language it is a bit slow, then the data is saved in cache until there is a new translation added. You need to be logged in to see the data.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Release XWiki 4.4.1 Monday 21
by Vincent Massol 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hi devs, I'm proposing myself to release XWiki 4.4.1 on next Monday. We really need to release it because 4.0 as it is contains quite a lot of blockers. We've fixed quite a few in 4.4.1 already: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=fixVer… There are some remaining blockers and I hope we can fix the maximum for Monday: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=resolu… It would be great if we could fix the following for 4.4.1: * http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8690 * http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8599 (must be easy) * http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8207 If not, we need to fix them for 4.5M1 or RC1, depending if we release 4.5M1 today or not. Thomas is fixing the translation ones today AFAIK (I don't personally consider them blockers but they're good to fix anyway). WDYT? I stress the importance of releasing 4.4.1 ASAP because right now people are installing 4.0. Note that we won't need a 4.4.2 since by that time we'll release 4.5 final. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Event listener getObject failing
by Xwiki_beginner 17 Jan '13

17 Jan '13

Hello again, thanks very much for all the help so far. I have an event listener which I have created as an xwiki component as per the instructions I followed previously. However my event listener while the code seemingly looks correct, is failing completely on one line. While I have put print line statements in to find the line that is causing the problem, I can't seem to find any output to show me why my line is wrong. I am almost certain it will be some kind of basic mistake and I am sure you fine folks could point it out almost immediately but it would be more helpful for me if I could find out why my code is wrong, so I can learn from it. How could I find out why this line is failing? Is there a log from these sort of failures in xwiki that I haven't found? Thanks very much again! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Event-listener-getObject-failing-tp758333… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Restrict the location of skin resources inside Jars for security
by Sergiu Dumitriu 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hi devs, Initially I didn't activate the resource skin extensions plugins (jsrx and ssrx) for security considerations, since they can be used to read any file from the classpath. I had forgotten to work on that, and now they have been enabled and used in their current implementation for a while. This means that changing the behavior will cause backward incompatibilities... So, I'm proposing that all skin resources packaged inside Jars should reside under the /skinx/ root directory. This prefix shouldn't be included in the pulled URL, it will be appended internally, and enforced to prevent any /skinx/../privateresource tricks. For example: $xwiki.jsrx.use('/gmaps/gmaps.js') will look for /skinx/gmaps/gmaps.js inside jars and the /classes/ directory. As a migration plan I'd like to implement this check ASAP, add a configuration for enabling the old behavior (if no resource was found with the skinx prefix, search without the prefix), which should be set to true by default in 4.5. Trigger a warning (in the logs) when such a deprecated resource is found. For 5.0 we switch to false by default, and in 6.0 we remove the switch completely. WDYT? -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu

[xwiki-devs] [ANN] Vagrant module
by Sorin Burjan 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hello everybody, I am proud to announce that after some very busy months, I have committed the first version of the Vagrant maven module. This module will allow us to create out of the box XWiki based virtual machines (based on Virtual Box) on different environments. It is based on Vagrant and uses Puppet for provisioning. The current feature set is very limited, only creating a VM with a xwiki user. In near future, I will work on making it truly useful. The most common use cases are: 1) Testing on different environments (our automated tests suite also) 2) Testing the Debian packages Thomas created 2) An easy way to download XWiki (for end-users) without any configuration effort. Since this is a long time goal, I'd like to have your feedback about all aspects in order to make it a truly useful module. Link to the first jira of this project: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCONTRIB-184 Code is publicly available at: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-enterprise-vagrant I encourage everybody to try it and provide feedback. Regards, Sorin B.
