[xwiki-devs] [Investigation] Administration Hints
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 25 Jun '14

25 Jun '14

Hi devs, One problem users are facing in the Administration is that the fields are advanced and not well documented. One of the simplest ways to improve this is to provide hints for all the entries (an example for the Profile Preferences http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Improvements/UserRoles/customPre… ). I've investigated the status of our default sections found in Administration at http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/AdministrationHints You can also see the Status column that displays the 'coverage' of hints. I've also provided images of how it currently looks in the Section column. Now, providing hints for Administration fields is not that easy since we need to reach some agreements: Q1: Labels and Hints come in pairs. When adding new keys do we: - stick with the current naming for the Label and just add a '*.hint' key for the Hint or - should we deprecate the Label key and use for both the new translations naming convention? Q2: We should decide on a convention for Hint. We are currently using: hint, tip, explanation, description. I prefer 'hint' since it's in our Vertical Form standard, but Bootstrap for example is using 'help-block'. Q3: Where do we put them? The majority of the keys are found in ApplicationResources.properties. Should we extract them and create Translations pages for them in the appropriate module? Q4: Should we implement http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7783 for the cases where we extract the values from classes? Q5: What about the content of the Hint message? Ideal it would be nice for the owner of the module to help provide the Hint text since some fields are advanced and even I don't know what they are doing. We could have a person responsible for reviewing the final text in order to have the same 'tone'. Q6: It's very nice to stop from time to time and refactor things, but do we consider the effort of doing this to be of worth? This question applies for: - refactoring on one side and - adding hints on the other. Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] Statistics for links to external pages in Xwiki
by felixixix 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

To implement an "most visited links" box, I need information about what external pages are visited the most from XWiki-pages. First idea (lacking knowledge on how to implement it): - change link parser to tranformer links like "http://www.externalpage.com" to "http://www.mypage.com/proxypage.php?destination=http://www.externalpage.com" - implement proxypage at "http://www.mypage.com/proxypage.php" to count destination and Redirect I am thankful for any suggestions...

[xwiki-devs] undeleting a document programmatically?
by Paul Libbrecht 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

Dear XWiki experts, I've been trying to undelete documents programmatically and I must say I failed thus far. I need to do this so as to implement the undeletion of 450 documents. Given the full name of the document, which currently shows when /view/-ed, that it has been deleted and offers me to restore or really delete, I am calling: xwiki.getDeletedDocuments(fullName, "en"); however, thus far, the result of this call has been an array of size zero. I would have expected to call the undelete method on the last of these DeletedDocuments. Is this not the right way to act? thanks in advance. Paul

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] "A method for giving credit to organizations that contribute code to Open Source"
by vincent＠massol.net 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi devs/contributors/everyone, This is an interesting article forwarded to me by Ludovic: http://buytaert.net/a-method-for-giving-credit-to-organizations-that-contri… I’ve been thinking a bit about it and the simplest solution I could think of (if we ever wanted to do something in this direction) would be: * Add a new custom field in JIRA called “Sponsored By”. Since all our commits have associated JIRAs this should work fine to recognize everyone. * Then we can easily query JIRA on a wiki page to provide visibility about companies and individuals sponsoring the development of XWiki. * For example we could have a new page available in the Contribute menu of the top level horizontal menu called Sponsors which would: - list all committers: link to the Hall of Fame page (http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/HallOfFame) - list all Supporters: link to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Supporters - list all sponsors: query JIRA and list all sponsors including # of issues sponsored with ability to clean on each sponsor and go in JIRA itself to see the details WDYT? Would you be interested in this? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Link the color theme application to the skin
by Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hi devs. I am implementing the Color Theme Editor for Flamingo! And this is a preview: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/Proposal/ColorThemeforFlamingo/f… Since the current color theme application is strongly linked to Colibri, and the new application will be strongly linked to Flamingo, I propose the following: 1/ move xwiki-platform-colorthemes in xwiki-platform-colibri and state that this application is only compatible with colibri-based skin. 2/ create the new application in xwiki-platform-flamingo 3/ the new color theme application will actually propose more than colors (fonts, less code, etc...), so I propose to call it xwiki-platform-flamingo-themes. 4/ in the administration, we have a page that propose which color theme we want to use. Since the new application will not be compatible with the old one, I propose to add an extension point (such as what we have to configure search suggest sources) in order to propose the themes corresponding to the selected skin (ie: xobjects of ColorThemes.ColorThemeClass for colibri and skins based on colibri, and xobjects of FlamingoThemeCode.ThemeClass for flamingo). 5/ modify SkinAction that currenlty executes velocity code on a skin file if the mime type is CSS or JS, to also execute velocity on files suffixed by .less.vm, because I need it for my application. To see what it looks like, please look at https://github.com/gdelhumeau/xwiki-platform/commit/49aca5733f4a820f3d1327c… . The alternative is to create a new action which is too much IMO. 6/ when colibri will be deprecated on removed from XE, we will do the same for the old color theme application. WDYT? Thanks, Guillaume
