[xwiki-devs] [Idea] Page Administration
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 19 Nov '15

19 Nov '15

Hi devs, So this proposal appeared in some of my proposals but right now I created a proper Proposal/Idea mail for it. It's about having an 'Administer Page' section in the menus, similar to the 'Administer Wiki' and 'Administer Space' functionality. The 'Administer Page' will be accessible to global admins, page creators and users with (edit?/admin?) rights for the page. >From what we currently have implemented it should contain the 'Rights Editor' (?editor=rights) at page level. In the future we could make 'Presentation', 'Page Elements' or 'Panel Wizard' to be more granular and be set at Page level (have different panels and style for just one page). Some screenshots at http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/PageAdministration Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] [UX][Consistency][Vote] "Page" vs. "Document" consistent naming
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 09 Sep '15

09 Sep '15

Hi, We are using mixed naming when referring to a document/page, not only on different pages, but also in the same context (Rename step for example). There is also an issue referring to this problem XWIKI-5401<http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5401>and we need to find an answer in order to move forward consistency. So the question is which version we prefer: "Page" or "Document" ? I'm voting +1 for "Page". "Page" is more used IMO, especially in the "Space"/"Page" context. "Page" is more general than "Document" and better fitted for a platform that encapsulates all kind of content (not just documents). Please cast your vote. Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Object addition/removal/update shouldn't change content author
by Vincent Massol 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

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] [Idea] Extensible API for accessing structured data
by Fabio Mancinelli 07 May '15

07 May '15

Hi all, some time ago we wrote about an idea of having an extensible API for accessing structured data. The final goal is to have a uniform API for accessing structured data both on the client (Javascript+REST) and on the server. We have written a little design document that I am submitting to the list for comments: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/ExtensibleAPIforaccessingst… This idea is also related to other ones, like providing a way for dynamically extending the REST API, and also to the integration with client side frameworks like AngularJS. Thanks, Fabio

[xwiki-devs] how to debug an empty stack in DefaultDocumentAccessBridge?
by Paul Libbrecht 05 Apr '15

05 Apr '15

Hello XWiki experts, in Curriki, we met a bug that seems related to the wysiwyg editor's ability to accept html. When it does so, and is input with an image, it fails the html conversion because of the exception below for the simple (cleaned) content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html><head></head><body><p>Image</p><p><img alt="sunset-dark2.PNG" src="http://node1.hoplahup.net/xwiki/bin/download/AssetTemp/dgW1kVv9l2mE9xqA/sun…"></img></p></body></html> Yielding the exception: Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: null at com.xpn.xwiki.doc.DefaultDocumentAccessBridge.getContext(DefaultDocumentAccessBridge.java:85) ~[xwiki-platform-legacy-oldcore-3.5.1.jar:na] at com.xpn.xwiki.doc.DefaultDocumentAccessBridge.getAttachmentURL(DefaultDocumentAccessBridge.java:847) ~[xwiki-platform-legacy-oldcore-3.5.1.jar:na] at org.xwiki.rendering.internal.wiki.XWikiWikiModel.getLinkURL(XWikiWikiModel.java:137) ~[xwiki-platform-rendering-xwiki-3.5.1.jar:na] at org.xwiki.rendering.internal.wiki.XWikiWikiModel.getImageURL(XWikiWikiModel.java:153) ~[xwiki-platform-rendering-xwiki-3.5.1.jar:na] at org.xwiki.rendering.internal.renderer.xhtml.image.DefaultXHTMLImageRenderer.onImage(DefaultXHTMLImageRenderer.java:120) ~[xwiki-rendering-syntax-xhtml-3.5.1.jar:na] at org.xwiki.rendering.internal.renderer.xhtml.XHTMLChainingRenderer.onImage(XHTMLChainingRenderer.java:545) ~[xwiki-rendering-syntax-xhtml-3.5.1.jar:na] at org.xwiki.rendering.listener.chaining.AbstractChainingListener.onImage(AbstractChainingListener.java:454) ~[xwiki-rendering-api-3.5.1.jar:na] at org.xwiki.rendering.listener.chaining.AbstractChainingListener.onImage(AbstractChainingListener.java:454) ~[xwiki-rendering-api-3.5.1.jar:na] at org.xwiki.rendering.listener.chaining.EmptyBlockChainingListener.onImage(EmptyBlockChainingListener.java:600) ~[xwiki-rendering-api-3.5.1.jar:na] at org.xwiki.rendering.listener.chaining.AbstractChainingListener.onImage(AbstractChainingListener.java:454) ~[xwiki-rendering-api-3.5.1.jar:na] at org.xwiki.rendering.listener.chaining.BlockStateChainingListener.onImage(BlockStateChainingListener.java:796) ~[xwiki-rendering-api-3.5.1.jar:na] I am not too sure how to debug that.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Automatic creation of objects with HTTP parameters
by Jean SIMARD 01 Apr '15

01 Apr '15

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] [ANN] XWiki 7.0 released
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 30 Mar '15

30 Mar '15

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 7.0. This is the first release of the 7.x cycle. It features many improvements for extensions, a simplified Wiki Creation Wizard, improved differences view, integration of a new Tree Widget with the WYSIWYG editor and Index Application, etc. Regarding extensions, we now have the ability to organize and filter extensions by category in the Extension Repository, the install date and the user that performed the install are now available in the extension details, the extensions that were installed explicitly are now displayed distinctly, etc. We improved the difference views for document history and extension upgrade process, by showing a difference summary between the two versions, detailed changes to objects definitions, etc. Developers may enjoy a new application to edit wiki Skins, a new Finder Plugin for the Tree Widget and API improvements to the Mail Sender and Extension Manager modules. The Watchlist module has a new component based implementation and also there is an experimental Realtime Watchlist Notification feature. XWiki also moved to Servlet 3.0.1 which means various old application servers versions are not supported anymore and the old Lucene search module was finally retired to Contrib. You can download it here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download Make sure to review the release notes: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki70 Thanks -The XWiki dev team

[xwiki-devs] build error with xwiki-enterprise
by Peter Nix 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

I checked out the various projects for xwiki (-commons, -rendering, -platform, and -enterprise) from github yesterday, and have successfully built all but enterprise project, which fails on the build step for the windows installer. The error printed alludes to needing a valid JRE, but according to my java version information, my jre should be fine. I'm using ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and have tried with and without the unix profile flag (-Punix) as specified on http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building (either way gives the same behavior).
