[xwiki-devs] [NOTICE] New Model Script Service API

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, FYI as part of http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8848 I've added some new APIs /** * Creates a {@link WikiReference} from a string representing the wiki name. * * @param wikiName the wiki name (eg "xwiki") * @return the reference to the wiki * @since 5.0M1 */ public WikiReference createWikiReference(String wikiName) { return new WikiReference(wikiName); } /** * Creates a {@link SpaceReference} from a string representing the space name. * * @param spaceName the space name (eg "Main") * @param parent the wiki reference in which the space is located * @return the reference to the space * @since 5.0M1 */ public SpaceReference createSpaceReference(String spaceName, WikiReference parent) { return new SpaceReference(spaceName, parent); } /** * Creates any {@link EntityReference} from a string. * * @param name the entity reference name (eg "page") * @param type the entity type (eg "wiki", "space", "document", etc) * @return the created reference * @since 5.0M1 */ public EntityReference createEntityReference(String name, EntityType type) { return new EntityReference(name, type); } /** * Creates any {@link EntityReference} from a string. * * @param name the entity reference name (eg "page") * @param type the entity type (eg "wiki", "space", "document", etc) * @param parent the entity parent * @return the created reference * @since 5.0M1 */ public EntityReference createEntityReference(String name, EntityType type, EntityReference parent) { return new EntityReference(name, type, parent); } The last 2 are generic and allow for more complex use cases. Let me know if you have better ideas. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] BFD #9 starts today the 21st of February 2013

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, Sorry not to have reminded this yesterday: today is BFD #9 and our first weekly BFD! Rules of engagements: * Goal: reduce the open bug count from http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10000#Created-vs-R… as much as possible. * Consequence: the goal is to take the lowest hanging fruits. * This is an occasion to close easy bugs that we wouldn't look at otherwise * It also serves as cleaning up our JIRA * Devs are free to chose by themselves the bugs they work on * It is *not* a day to implement important bugs listed in the roadmap, although devs can take some from there if they wish * It's only about bugs, not other type of issues * Make sure to label all bugs closed today with "bugfixingday" ATM we have 913 open bugs, let's how much we're able to close today! :) Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [contrib] New repository on xwiki-contrib for a publication workflow application

by Anca Luca

Hi all, I did some sort of an implementation of a publication workflow application, which allows to take a document through various states and finally publish it in a mirror space once it is validated, and subsequent versions of the same document are handled, with distinct rights and comments between the draft version and published version. For now, this application is here https://github.com/lucaa/workflow-publication and I would like to publish it in xwiki-contrib, in a repository called the same, workflow-publication, in order to release it on xwiki maven. Thanks, Anca

[xwiki-devs] What do we do with template field in document ?

by Thomas Mortagne

Hi devs, We have a "template" field in XWikiDocument and in what we export/import in the XAR but it's not part of the database mapping (there is defaultTemplate but no template). See http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8650. Since it's not saved in the database it's totally useless to have it in the XAR but we do have it in several pages of XE (some Blog pages). So my question is what the hell is this field and what should be do with it ? I can see two possibilities: 1) stop exporting it in the XAR and deprecated related method in XWikiDocument 2) put it back in the database mapping (I guess it used to be there or I don't see how we could have some pages with it on github) WDYT ? Since I have no idea what this field is supposed to do I don't have a strong opinion but since it's totally useless right now and nobody seems to complain I would go for 1). -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Change save buttons in the editor to improve version management

by Denis Gervalle

Hi devs, Following our recent IRC discussion, I start this discussion to improve our editor workflow. If you agree that: 1) Save & Continue followed by Cancel is misleading, since the document stay saved anyway 2) Checking the minor box is often forgotten, especially for minor change since we do it fast 3) Switching between page view and editor is slow, and maybe useless with a continuous editing session in WYSIWYG. 4) Preview is not always sufficient to ensure all is the way you want, especially if rights is concerned there are minor changes that may improve the workflow: A) Remove the Is Minor checkbox B) Replace the Save & Continue button with a Save minor version button, while keeping the current behavior C) Replace the Save & View button with a Save major version button. D) Change the behavior of "Save major version button" to work like Save & Continue behavior with a major version. E) Replace Cancel by Done, and add a warning allowing to save either minor or major or cancel (with 3 buttons) if any changes are unsaved. With D) and E), we have the same behavior than an editor application, where you File/Save and File/Quit. At the end, we got the same number of buttons, one less checkbox but I agree one more click to save major and view. This additional click is needed so you choose voluntarily to save as a minor version or a major version. If you think it is not good to have that additional click, let leave it as it is... or simply remove the checkbox, it is misuse anyway and cause complexity. WDYT ? -- Denis Gervalle SOFTEC sa - CEO eGuilde sarl - CTO

Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-users] severe trouble with web crawlers

by Ludovic Dubost

Hi Jan-Philipp, I'm investigating this issue as we have also seen it in another wiki environment and seem to be able to getting close to more regular reproduction. Have you seen the issue again on the latest XWiki version that you are running (4.4 if I'm correct) or have you rolledback to XE since then ? Any information about the specific situation that your install is experiencing when you are having this issue would be helpful or specific version you have seen or not seen the issue. I saw in a previous email you mention upgrading from 3.1 to 4.2 and in another mail you mention running 3.4 Could you list me the versions of XWiki where you've seen the problem and those where you haven't seen it. This would allow to make some code comparaison and see code changes that could impact this area. We also have made a patch which could allow detecting the issue and dump more information in the logs as well as workaround it. If you are willing to we could see to have you install that patch on your version and see if you get some logs that could be helpful. http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8046 Ludovic 2013/2/8 Vincent Massol <vincent(a)massol.net> > Hi Jan-Philip, > > What would be nice is if you could apply the workaround defined at > > http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8046?focusedCommentId=71549&page=com.atl… > > and let us know if that fixes your issue. > > This will have 2 benefits: > * We'll know it's the same problem > * You'll have a patch for your issue till the issue is really fixed in the > core > > Thanks > -Vincent > > On Jan 18, 2013, at 11:41 PM, Jan-Philip Loos <maxdaten(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > > We upgraded to the latest minor versions as they were released, first > > migration was from 3.1 to 4.2, followed by 4.2 -> 4.3 and finally 4.3 -> > 4.4 > > > > The problem still occurred with 4.3 (4.4 is to new to figured it out > now). > > In the last 3-4 month the problem occurred round about 3 times.

[xwiki-devs] [Contrib] Ideas Application

by Florian Véron

Hello, I'm making a new application named Ideas, and I finished the first version. So I would like to have a github repo on xwiki-contrib for it and I would also need a maven groupId. I already made a page for this application on xwiki.org : http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Ideas and you can see the code of the application on my own github repo : https://github.com/fveron/xwiki-application-ideas. Thanks, Florian
