[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] [ANN] 10 years of the XWiki open source project!
by Vincent Massol 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Hi everyone, On the 15th of December (i.e. in a month's time), it will be **10 years** since the first commit on the XWiki open source project. Ludovic did the first commit in CVS on Sourceforge: " 15.12.2003 10:13:33, by ludovic Initial revision " (Can be seen at http://svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/XWIKI/search?from=20030101&to=20040101 ) 10 years is starting to be some respectable milestone! I invite everyone to join us in celebrating by adding your own story about your interaction with the XWiki community or the XWiki software at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/TenYearsOfXWiki <XWiki SAS hat> Since I'm also the CTO of the XWiki SAS company, I'd like to officially invite all the members of this great community to join us in celebrating the 10 days of the XWiki project at the XWiki SAS office in Paris, France on the 12th of December 2013. Here's the invitation: http://www.xwiki.com/lang/en/News/XWiki+10th+Anniversary See you there! </XWiki SAS hat> Well done everyone! -Vincent Massol

[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] [Proposal] Hidden wikis & template wikis
by Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Hi devs. In the coming 5.3 milestone 2, all wikis are displayed in the Wiki Index, including the templates, which was not the case before. >From the user point of view, maybe these templates should not be listed in the Wiki Index. But on the other hand, if you want to see a template, you will not be able to access through the wiki index. We also have introduced the "hidden" flag for wikis (in the WikiDescriptor, not in the UI yet). If we consider template wikis are "technical" wikis, we may use this flag to hide them. Then, in the Wiki Index, we don't care if a wiki is a template or not, we only care about the "hidden" flag. If the user does not want to see the templates in the list, she can mark them as hidden, exactly as we do for documents. But what about the template list in the wiki creation wizard? Should we list all templates, or only the visible ones? My proposition: - all wikis are visible though the wiki index (template or not). - if we want to hide templates to the users, we use the hidden flag in the wiki descriptor. - in the wiki creation wizard, we display all the templates, even these which are tagged as hidden. WDYT? Thanks, Louis-Marie

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Remove all duplicated information from folders names on git repositories
by Thomas Mortagne 20 Mar '14

20 Mar '14

Reviving http://markmail.org/message/hlnqke3igkbec332 for as an official vote. We have waited way too long and I think we really need to find a solution even if none of the committers use Windows since a long time. Every time a Windows dev even think of contributing he is very quickly discouraged... As a reminder the issue is that working on XWiki source code is a pain for MS Windows developers because of the (impossible to understand I agree) limitation on path size. So the idea is to find a new logical rule to drastically shorten our paths and Sergiu proposed the following: remove duplicated information from our paths to maven modules. Here is an example: xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-rendering/xwiki-platform-rendering-transformations/xwiki-platform-rendering-transformation-macro (131 chars) would become core/rendering/transformations/macro (36 chars) So WDYT ? Here is my +1 I also find it nicer when navigating using cd and tab in a unix shell anyway. Planning to do it in 5.1 if everyone agree. -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Create reference to macros
by Denis Gervalle 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Hi devs, While building the new signed script solution with Thomas, we have the need to create a new kind of entity references for macros. This will allow us to keep reference to signed macros. Those references will have entityReference as parent, since macros may be contained in document, but also in object properties. Currently we do not need a syntax for those references, since these will only exists as objects. So, no string serializer is planned. So, we need to agree on creating macroReference that will have at this point a unique identifier (to be discussed later) and a parent that could be either a documentReference or an objectPropertyReference. Here is my +1, -- Denis Gervalle SOFTEC sa - CEO eGuilde sarl - CTO

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] WebJar integration in XWiki
by Vincent Massol 08 Feb '14

08 Feb '14

Hi devs, I'd like to make it easy in XWiki to use javascript frameworks required by extensions. I've found the webjars project (http://webjars.org) which packages javascript frameworks in JAR files available in Maven Central. They work out of the box if you drop them in WEB-INF/lib in a Servlet 3.0 container (like Jetty 7). It works because the 3.0 spec says that any files located in META-INF/resources/<path> will be made available by the servlet container as static resources (accessible as <path>). However the servlet 3.0 specs doesn't support adding those JAR dynamically outside of WEB-INF/lib so it doesn't work with our extension mechanism. Thus I'm proposing the following (which I have tested to work): * Add a new WebJarFilter filter to web.xml * The URL to access, for ex, angular.js packaged in the http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/webjars/angularjs/1.1.5-1/angularjs-1.1.5… jar would be: /xwiki/webjar/angularjs/1.1.5/angular.js This allows for example to have a dep on: <dependency> <groupId>org.webjars</groupId> <artifactId>angularjs</artifactId> <version>1.1.5-1</version> <scope>runtime</scope> </dependency> Then in a JSX object: require(["/xwiki/webjar/angularjs/1.1.5/angular.js"], function() { … }); WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Adding a customer plugin to the wysiwyg editor
by rhierlmeier 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

Hi, we studied the source code of the gwt wysiwyg editor but we found no official way to integrate an custom plugin. We have the impression that it should be relatively easy to establish a public API for registering customer plugins. The customer plugin would be delivered as javascript code with a global javascript function that implements PluginFactory interface. The WysiwygEditorConfigClass would have an addition property customerPlugins, containing a comma seperate list of strings of the PluginFactory method names. Do you think that this is doable?
