[xwiki-devs] Trouble Accessing Database List Elements

by Robert Southwell

Hi All, I am creating a new Class using the 'AppWithinMinutes' dialogue that will hold information on projects. Within which I am trying to add a Database List. This list is supposed to enable users that are creating a new 'Project' page to link the page with one or more 'Clients' (each 'Client' has its own page within a 'Clients' space). I can get a list of all the clients from which the user can select from using the following HQL: "select doc.name, doc.name from XWikiDocument as doc where doc.space = 'Clients' and doc.name <> 'WebHome' and doc.name <> 'ClientsClass' and doc.name <> 'ClientsTemplate' and doc.name <> 'ClientsSheet' and doc.name <> 'WebPreferences' order by doc.name" however the returned list is just text, and i would like it if they were 'links' to the actual Client Page. Is this even possible? as i've been search for hours! Thanks in advance.

[xwiki-devs] create attachment with Rest API

by zacharykane

Hello, I'm trying to create an attachment on a page from a URL to an image, using JavaScript and the RESTful API. I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly of if this can be done but here's where I'm at: httpRequest.open('PUT', '/xwiki/rest/wikis/XWiki/spaces/Main/pages/Daily All-Source Digest – 2013-01-05T07:30P24/attachments/Blade Header UnClassified-S.png'); httpRequest.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/xml'); httpRequest.send('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><attachment xmlns="http://www.xwiki.org"><name>"Blade Header UnClassified-S.png"</name><mimeType>"image/png"</mimeType><xwikiAbsoluteUrl>"https://domain/xwiki/bin/download/ColorThemes/Nightfall/Blade%20Header%20Un…"</xwikiAbsoluteUrl></attachment>'); This example is actually using a URL to a preexisting Attachment, just seeing if I'm getting permission errors on the server some how. I've also tried random publicly accessible images. I get a 200 response signaling an attachment is created and a link appears on the page in the attachment section but the image won't display because 'it contains errors'. Can I submit attachments this way? Do I need the actual image data, encoded somehow? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/create-attachment-with-Rest-API-tp7583867… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] REST needs for the Mobile App

by Ludovic Dubost

Hi, I have the need for two things that I don't see how to do with the current APIs: 1/ I do not know when I call the rest API if I'm still authenticated In the response I haven't seen a way to know if I'm still authenticated when I do a request. If I'm not I might get little or zero result but I usually will still get a response. What could we do to help on this. Would it be possible to add the logged in user in the header of the response or in the xml or json returned ? Or did I miss something. 2/ How can I easily build the URL of an user's photo activated on his profile ? Currently I make a request which lists me documents with their author. In cati's screenshot I should display a thumbnail of the user's photo. However it seems to be the users photo does not have a fixed name and it wouldn't be practical to have to make a query for each user to find out the photo. Could we build a REST or XWiki api that would automatically send the correct photo. This way just by building the URL we could have the photo of the user in the mobile app. Any ideas on this ?

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Choose a name for our next skin

by Denis Gervalle

Hi devs, Cathy has made a great proposal for a new skin based on bootstrap which she call skin 4.x ( http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/Skin4x), the name is already a bit outdated, and it will be in fact our 5th generation skin. So after dodo -> albatross -> toucan -> colibri -> what next ? Here are some proposals: Flamingo Pelican Falcon Buzzard Eagle Bustard Trumpeter Buttonquail Jacana Gotwit Guillemot Cockatoo Cuckoo Condor feel free to propose others... Currently, my own preference is Condor which is an endangered species like the Albatross, but Guillemot or Buttonquail sounds good to me as well. WDYT ? -- Denis Gervalle SOFTEC sa - CEO eGuilde sarl - CTO

[xwiki-devs] XWiki Form Validation

by Mark Wallace

Was reading http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Creating+a+form+with+vali… This part seems weird... The following code is needed in the form to launch the validation for a standard "Save" to validate the form: <input type="hidden" name="xvalidate" value="1" /> I have to put that in the form? Why me? Where do I put that to get it in the form? Why does the wiki not just look for non-blank validation regular expression and if present, then put the above code in the rendered form? Sorry if I am missing something obvious. -- Mark Wallace Principal Engineer, Semantic Applications Modus Operandi, Inc. 709 S.

[xwiki-devs] Future of mailsender plugin

by Ludovic Dubost

Hi, I wanted to discuss about the future of the mailsender plugin ? I've been working on a small tool to be able to send a Calendar Invitation by email from a Meeting Notes AppWithinMinutes application and I found some limitation in the mailsender plugin, namely you cannot add multipart alternative email parts in addition to the text and html parts already supported by the plugin. I was able to hack the mailsender plugin to add a vcalendar part but it does not really sound right to do that since we should support any part of any content type, but this is a bigger refactoring. I was wondering what the future is for the mailsender plugin. Do we plan to make it a component and keep the same functionality ? Is there a plan for an alternative component ? And what would be the approach to add a vcalendar part in emails sent by the current mailsender ? This would be needed to support the feature of sending invitation emails which would be very powerfull.

[xwiki-devs] OpenFire xwiki integration?

by Paul Libbrecht

Hello fellow XWiki developers, I was wondering if anyone had taken the time to have a joint install of XWiki and OpenFire, apparently a fairly scalable XMPP server with nice feature completeness. Something should be done at the UI level, such as candy-chat probably. My question is more about the server side, there seems to be a way to write an adapter to fetch user-information from a database, so that exposing users of XWiki might be simple. Did anyone try this already? Did it scale? thanks in advance paul

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Make UTF-8 mandatory for a valid installation

by Sergiu Dumitriu

Hi devs, We've moved more and more toward an UTF-8-only application, and XWiki has only been tested with this configuration for several years. I propose that we require UTF-8 for a valid, supported installation. This means: - JVM encoding (-Dfile.encoding=UTF8) - Container default URL encoding (Tomcat has ISO-8859-1 by default) - Database encoding (MySql is still configured with latin1 on some distros) There's one big site to update on our side: xwiki.org. Here's my +1. This is a move toward a future web, since more and more standards require (or at least assume as a default) UTF-8. After thinking a bit more, it would make sense to require a valid Unicode encoding, including UTF-16, which is preferable in countries that don't use a latin alphabet. However, XWiki doesn't currently work under 16-bit encodings at all. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Naming scheme for e.x.o extensions

by Vincent Massol

Hi, I'd like to propose to use the following naming conventions for the extensions from commons/rendering/platform that are exposed on e.x.o: - "API" suffix for api modules. e.g. "Text API" , "Velocity API" instead of currently "Text Module", "Velocity Module", etc - "Application" suffix for ui modules, e.g. "Wiki Manager Application", "Logging Application", "IRC Bot Application", etc - "Macro" suffix, e.g. "JIRA Macro", etc Technically this means using the following in pom.xml: <properties>  <xwiki.extension.name>Wiki Component API</xwiki.extension.name> </properties> WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
