[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Object addition/removal/update shouldn't change content author

by Vincent Massol

Hi, According to the javadoc in XWikiDocument: /** * The last user that has changed the document's content (ie not object, attachments). The Content author is only * changed when the document content changes. Note that Content Author is used to check programming rights on a * document and this is the reason we need to know the last author who's modified the content since programming * rights depend on this. */ private DocumentReference contentAuthorReference; This means that objectadd or objectremove actions shouldn't change the content author as they do now. I'm proposing that we fix this. Do you see any issue? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Automatic creation of objects with HTTP parameters

by Jean SIMARD

Hi devs, In XWiki, if you send a POST request at the following URL ('MySpace.MyPage' is a document that doesn't exist at the moment) /bin/save/MySpace/MyPage with the following HTTP parameters: * template=MySpace.MyTemplate * XWiki.XWikiRights_0_users=XWiki.Me * <others parameters> with 'MySpace.MyTemplate' a template document and 'XWiki.Me' a user of the wiki. 2 cases: 1. If 'MySpace.MyTemplate' contains a 'XWiki.XWikiRights' object, then the resulting document 'MySpace.MyPage' will have this object with its property 'users' initialize with the value 'XWiki.Me' (see HTTP parameters) 2. If 'MySpace.MyTemplate' does not contain a 'XWiki.XWikiRights' object, the resulting document 'MySpace.MyPage' will not contain it either ### PROPOSAL Create automatically the objects if they don't exist in the template document. ### To make it possible, it seems that we would need to refactor the method 'readObjectsFromForm(EditForm, XWikiContext)' in the 'com.xpn.xwiki.doc.XWikiDocument' class. And probably modify also the 'getObject(String)' from 'com.xpn.xwiki.web.EditForm' class. 2 things to take care: * It seems there is no unit test for these methods. * May this proposal be a security problem? WDYT? -- Jean

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Split XE pages into platform modules

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, Here's a proposal to move pages currently located in XE into platform modules: * ColorThemes/*.xml --> xwiki-platform-colorthemes * Main/Activity.xml --> xwiki-platform-activitystream-ui (move current xwiki-platform-activitytream into xwiki-platform-activitystream-api) * Main/AllDocs.xml (and XWiki.Tableview, XWiki.Treeview, XWiki.OrphanedPages, XWiki.AllAttachments*, XWiki.DeletedDocuments, XWiki.DeletedAttachments and all pages used by those) --> new xwiki-platform-navigation module * Main/RssFeeds.xml --> new xwiki-platform-help module or xwiki-platform-rss-ui module (see below) * Main/SpaceIndex.xml --> xwiki-platform-navigation * Main/Spaces.xml --> xwiki-platform-navigation * Main/UserDirectory.xml --> xwiki-platform-user-ui * Main/WebHome.xml --> xwiki-platform-dashboard-ui * Main/WebRss.xml --> new xwiki-platform-rss-ui module, we would create a xwiki-platform-rss-api module too where we will move the feed plugin * Main/Welcome.xml --> move to xwiki-platform-dashboard-ui since it's a dashboard gadget which we could consider as a default widget * Sandbox/*.xml --> xwiki-platform-sandbox module (or xwiki-platform-help module) * XWiki/XWikSyntax.xml --> xwiki-platform-help module * XWiki/AttachmentSelector.xml --> xwiki-platform-user-ui or new xwiki-platform-attachmentselector module * XWiki/ClassSheet, ClassTemplate, ObjectSheet, XWikiClasses, * XWiki/GadgetClass.xml --> xwiki-platform-dashboard-ui * XWiki/LiveTableResult*.xml --> new xwiki-platform-livetable module * XWiki/MessageStreamConfig.xml --> new xwiki-platform-messagestream-ui module (and move xwiki-platform-message in xwiki-platform-message-api module) * XWiki/RequestsStatus.xml --> xwiki-platform-administration module or remove from platform till we integrate it in the Admin as an admin tool somewhere since right now I think it's available in the Admin tools application * XWiki/RequiredRightClass.xml --> since it's used in lots of other ui modules I'd propose to move it in java code as a class created on startup. Alternatively start creating a xwiki-platform-rights-ui module (or xwiki-platform-permission-ui module) and move it there * XWiki/SharePage.xml --> not sure…. maybe in a xwiki-platform-share or xwiki-platform-sharepage module * XWiki/TemplateProvider*.xml --> xwiki-platform-administration for the moment * XWiki/WebHome.xml --> xwiki-platform-administration module * XWiki/WebPreferences.xml --> xwiki-platform-administration module WDYT? Please try to tell me if you're ok for each line if you have time ;) Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Inject Warning in Page when Macro in Space not exists

by Matthias Wegner

Hi All, i want to put a {{warning}} in the header of a page when a specific macro is not contained. How can i do that. I tried in a Listener when the needed Macro-Block is not contained with doc.getXDOM().getRoot().addChild(new WordBlock("{{warning}}Warning Text.{{/warning}}")); context.getWiki().saveDocument(doc, context); This not works. What is the correct way to manipulate the Document DOM on Load?

[xwiki-devs] Overwrite Method of Component in Velocity

by Matthias Wegner

Hi All, I want to create a component where i can overwrite a method of the component from velocity or groovy script inside a wiki page. Its also fine if i can "read" a groovy script to the component so i can use the defined logic. Maybe i have to use a own programmed macro for that. Is that possible? Do you use something similar somewhere?

[xwiki-devs] Questions about fixing getRenderedContent() bug

by Vincent Massol

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] Filesystem skin properties

by Thomas Mortagne

Hi devs, I plan to introduce a skin.properties file at the root of each filesystem skin which will contain among other things the parent of this skin. The name of the property I propose "parent", when parent is set to empyt string it means not parent (i.e. it ends up directly in the WAR /templates or /resources folders). Yes I know we usually talk about "base skin" right now but I tough "parent" is more explicit when talking about inheritance (and the internal skin manager I'm working on is also using "parent" naming). Any tough ? If I don't get any reaction I will take that as a general +0 and commit it in master ;) -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Open the "Assign issues" permissions to everyone again for the "XWiki Open" JIRA scheme?

by vincent＠massol.net

Hi committers, So far we’re allowing only committers (and some special contributors) the permission to assign themselves and others (there’s no permission to only allow someone to assign himself in JIRA!). We did this because we didn’t want people assigning issues to others. However this is causing several problems: * It would be nice that contributors working on a project in the xwiki github orgzanition be able to assign themselves to issues for which they wish to send PRs * For Contrib projects, since we allow anyone to become a committer there, it’s even more important that contrib developers be able to assign themselves to issues We could of course do this in an ad-hoc manner and wait for people to ask a committer on IRC or on the mailing list to be given the permission. However this is painful for everyone. Thus I propose to reopen again the “Assign issues” permission in JIRA for the “XWiki Open” permission scheme. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [XWiki Day] BFD#72

by Eduard Moraru

Hi devs, As you probably already know, today is BFD#72: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/XWikiDays#HBugfixingdays Our current status for the 1 year period is 48 bugs behind. See: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10000#Created-vs-R… We are half way there, as it seems the "bug wave" is losing momentum and we have a good chance of catching it. Here's the BFD#71 dashboard to follow the progress during the day: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=12790 Thanks and enjoy your bug fixing day! -Eduard
