[xwiki-devs] [Iteration][UX] Nested: Add action
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 06 Aug '15

06 Aug '15

Hi, With the introduction of Nested Documents and the removal of global menu, we are confronted with the problem of moving and redefining the content of 'Add' action. The iteration experiments multiple possible alternatives of the 'Add' location and look, read more http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NestedAdd My recommendation is to: - Move the 'Add' (page/child) button inside the content area and display it as a button; - Move the 'Add wiki' functionality inside Drawer + Wiki Index; - Select the page template from the dedicated create action page; Feedback is welcomed. Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] [Iteration][UX] Nested: Drawer
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Hi, One design problem we face with the introduction of Nested Documents is that the current global menu is not extensible anymore to support large hierarchies. Also if we hide/deprecate the Space concept we need to find a solution to transfer all the current navigation and actions in another component. This proposal covers the introduction of a Drawer menu that will contain: Profile, Wiki Actions and Wiki Navigation. http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NestedDrawer Feedback is welcomed. Thanks, Caty

Hello devs, During the past days I have started testing 7.2M1. I know XWiki7.2M2 is scheduled to be released within the next days. I will continue with the manual tests, go through the list of bugs fixed for 7.2M2 and also take a look at the new features. Besides these, do you want something else tested as well ?

[xwiki-devs] XWiki Master-Master replication
by alessandro.strambini＠isc-ejpd.admin.ch 27 Jul '15

27 Jul '15

Hello there. I am trying to setup a master to master replication with mysql and xwiki. The replication on his side works well. But now when master1 creates a file it will be created on master2 same goes with changes in document and history version goes up and up. But when i have for example version 2.1 at a document and i want to change it on master2 and look it up on master1 there no change, but i replicated the newer version but is still on 2.1 not 3.1 as it should be. The problem now is that when i click rollback to get content of version 3.1 it does a version 4.1 which dont gets replicated. So whole replication stops and its like 2 xwiki from there on. Do you have an idea for settings auto-use newest version? I didnt found something like that. Or do you have some others ideas for that. Thank you very much Best regards Alessandro Freundliche Grüsse Alessandro Strambini Informatiker in Ausbildung Eidgenössisches Justiz- und Polizeidepartement EJPD Informatik Service Center ISC-EJPD Betrieb und Support Unix Plattformen Fellerstrasse 15, 3003 Bern Tel. +41 (0)31 323 00 61 malito:[email protected]

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Issue with removed Parent/Child Relationship
by vincent＠massol.net 26 Jul '15

26 Jul '15

Hi devs, I’ve analyzed the issue of Nested Spaces on the IRC Bot application (http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12341) and I’ve found some interesting use case. Use case: * An Application lets the user configure where to save pages the application generates or the Application simply generates pages in some space other than the app space. * We want the breadcrumb of the generated pages to point to the App’s home page Before NS: * We’re calling setParent(“<app space>.WebHome”) After NS (the problem!): * We’re loosing the link to the app’s home page since the breadcrumb is currently using references… So the question is: how do we solve this use case? I don’t have many answers. I can think of only 1 ATM: * Keep the ability to set the parent in the Edit page UI * When displaying the breadcrumb for a page, check if the page has specified a parent and if so, uses it instead of the reference parent. * Possibly remove the configuration option to disable parent/child relationship and always use the parent when set, and the reference when not set up. WDYT? Any idea for supporting this use case or for doing it differently? Thanks -Vincent

by Jean SIMARD 20 Jul '15

20 Jul '15

Dear devs, As an XWiki SAS employee, I was interested by contributors from outside the company. Therefore, I looked at Pull Requests from these external contributors and here is a very small resume of the status. I thought it would be interesting to share it. First, look at the attachment, you'll see a graphic about merged/rejected/open pull requests. The date when they appear is the creation date of the pull request. As you can see, number of pull requests is increasing over the past years. Note that 2015, even if there is only data from January to July, seems to have a significant decrease of contributions. I also took a look at all the still opened pull requests. There is 12 of them and here is the status for each of them: * xwiki-enterprise pull/10 -> no comment on Github; -> no comment on Jira [XWIKI-6790] * xwiki-enterprise pull/24 -> comment on Github from the community to the contributor; -> no known related Jira; -> no answer of the author of the pull request * xwiki-platform pull/19 -> comments on Github; -> no comment on Jira [XWIKI-6790]; -> the author of the PR answered comments from the community * xwiki-platform pull/266 -> lot of comments on code on Github; -> no comments on Jira [XWIKI-10136] -> An alternative commit has been proposed and already commited * xwiki-platform pull/294 -> comments on Github; -> no known related Jira; -> the author of the pull request is waiting from the community * xwiki-platform pull/314 -> comment on Github; -> comments on Jira [XWIKI-3544]; -> the author of the pull request never answered to comments * xwiki-platform pull/399 -> no comment on Github; -> no comment on Jira [XWIKI-6118]; -> the author of the pull request did a lot of comments * xwiki-platform pull/402 -> no comment on Github; -> no comment on Jira [XWIKI-10118]; -> the author of the pull request did comments * xwiki-platform pull/413 -> comment on Github; -> no comment on Jira [XWIKI-12340]; -> author of the pull request modify contribution based on comments * xwiki-platform pull/415 -> comment on Github; -> comment on Jira [XWIKI-12331]; -> author of the pull request modify contribution based on comments -> but author of the pull request didn't answer to comment on Jira * xwiki-rendering pull/3 -> lot of comments on Github; -> no known related Jira; -> the author of the PR answered to almost all comments -> he may have abandon due to the very high number of comments * xwiki-rendering pull/10 -> comment on Github; -> comments on Jira [XRENDERING-362]; -> no answer of the author of the pull request Hope this helps, -- Jean Simard jean.simard(a)xwiki.com Research engineer at XWiki SAS http://www.xwiki.com Committer on the XWiki.org project http://www.xwiki.org
