[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Stop bundling the Statistics Application by default in XE
by Vincent Massol 08 Jan '16

08 Jan '16

Hi devs, Since statistics are disabled by default, I'm proposing to not bundle the Statistics application by default. Admins who want to enable stats on their would need to install it through the EM. In addition, the Stats app's quality is not exactly perfect either and performances are not that great so I think it makes sense to not promote it too much either. Last, since 5.3M2 the stats app is now visible in the Applications Panel (for Admins), thus not bundling it by default seems even more needed now IMO. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Remove TinyMCE files from the XWiki WAR
by vincent＠massol.net 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

Hi devs, Here’s what I commented on https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/307 : “ Thanks Pascal. I've just noticed that we still bundle TinyMCE in XWiki's WAR. It was probably left for backward compatibility but since it's been like 6-7 years that we've dropped it, I believe we could vote about dropping it from our sources and if someone really needs it they'll still be able to manually install them in their wikis. I'll follow up on the devs list, thanks. “ WDYT? Are you ok to remove it? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Wiki vs Nested Spaces
by vincent＠massol.net 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Hi devs, With 7.2 the differences between Wiki and Nested Spaces are smaller and we’re probably going to have more and more questions related to when should a user use a Wiki and when should he/she use a Space. Thus I’ve started http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/WikivsNestedSpaces It would be great if you could either reply on this thread with differences that you see (and I’ll update the page) or update that page directly (preferred :)). Once the page has good data, I’ll move the content to the documentation proper. Thanks! -Vincent

[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] [Proposal] Improve the management of inexistent WebHome with children
by Denis Gervalle 05 Oct '15

05 Oct '15

Hi devs, I am opening this discussion to move the discussion started in an issue (XWIKI-12628) to its proper place, the ML. (Discussing into JIRA is very bad since it lower the audience, we tend to have done it too much recently). So the issue is that, in the Nested Document concept, we can create children to inexistent (WebHome) page. This introduce some abnormalities: - Administering inexistent page (including page rights, see http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12629) - Children of inexistent page (see http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12628 ) Since we agree that having nodes in the tree of pages is fine without having the intermediate document created, we definitely need to better show this concept to the final user. It would be a pain to explain to a user that access rights for page children of an inexistent page is administrable from that inexistent page. It is also very poor when you navigate from the breadcrumb to a inexistent page as a normal user to reach "The requested page could not be found." with no way to navigate further. These inexistent page are not necessarily invisible, there is links to them, and showing that as "error" page looks inappropriate IMO. So there is probably a couple of things we could do to improve this: A) display the list of children in addition to the actual message B) display a "default" and nice (not an error) dashboard on them that allow navigation (with a button for those that can edit, to create the page) C) create them all the time, with the dashboard above by default D) do not propose links to those page in the breadcrumb to users without edit right on them ? E) ... (please add more idea) I am in favor of B) currently, since I do not think we are in an "error" case like A) seems to expose. I am wondering if D) could be useful as well to limit navigation to those page or not for user that will not find them so useful... but it may exists opposite UC. WDYT ? -- Denis Gervalle SOFTEC sa - CEO

[xwiki-devs] XML file format to import multiple revisions of an existing page via XAR upload
by Ghosh, Amrita 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Hi, I am trying to update an existing page (ad new revisions) by uploading XAR using REST API: curl -k -u Admin:admin -v -X POST -T "Main.testpage.xar" -H "Content-Type: application/stream" https://SERVER/xwiki/rest/wikis/xwiki?history=ADD I could successfully upload a single new revision to an existing page and that new revision is correctly showing up on the page history. But I wanted to upload multiple revisions at a time. For that in the document xml I specified the new revisions inside <versions> </versions> tag (similar to what we see in the XML of exported page with history), but that does not work. Is it possible to add multiple revisions to an existing page with a single XAR upload? Following are my document xml and package.xml inside the XAR file that I was using: Main/testpage.xml: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <xwikidoc version="1.1"> <web>Main</web> <name>testpage</name> <language/> <defaultLanguage>en</defaultLanguage> <translation>0</translation> <creator>XWiki.amritg</creator> <creationDate>1443041962000</creationDate> <versions>head 6.1; access; symbols; locks; strict; 6.1 date 2015.09.23.21.11.51; author XWiki.amritg; state full; branches; next 5.1; 5.1 date 2015.09.23.21.01.49; author XWiki.amritg; state full; branches; next ; desc @@ 6.1 log @@ text @<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xwikidoc> <web>Main</web> <name>testpage</name> <language></language> <defaultLanguage>en</defaultLanguage> <translation>0</translation> <parent></parent> <creator>XWiki.amritg</creator> <author>XWiki.amritg</author> <customClass></customClass> <contentAuthor>XWiki.amritg</contentAuthor> <creationDate>1443041962000</creationDate> <date>1443042713000</date> <contentUpdateDate>1443042713000</contentUpdateDate> <version>6.1</version> <title>Test Page</title> <defaultTemplate></defaultTemplate> <validationScript></validationScript> <comment></comment> <minorEdit>false</minorEdit> <syntaxId>xwiki/2.1</syntaxId> <hidden>false</hidden> <content>Update content for 6th revision</content></xwikidoc> @ 5.1 log @@ text @<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xwikidoc> <web>Main</web> <name>testpage</name> <language></language> <defaultLanguage>en</defaultLanguage> <translation>0</translation> <parent></parent> <creator>XWiki.amritg</creator> <author>XWiki.amritg</author> <customClass></customClass> <contentAuthor>XWiki.amritg</contentAuthor> <creationDate>1443041962000</creationDate> <date>1443042713000</date> <contentUpdateDate>1443042713000</contentUpdateDate> <version>5.1</version> <title>Test Page</title> <defaultTemplate></defaultTemplate> <validationScript></validationScript> <comment></comment> <minorEdit>false</minorEdit> <syntaxId>xwiki/2.1</syntaxId> <hidden>false</hidden> <content>Update content for 5th revision</content></xwikidoc> @ </versions> <author>XWiki.amritg</author> <contentAuthor>XWiki.amritg</contentAuthor> <date>1443042712000</date> <contentUpdateDate>1443042712000</contentUpdateDate> <version>6.1</version> <title>Test Page</title> <comment/> <minorEdit>false</minorEdit> <syntaxId>xwiki/2.1</syntaxId> <hidden>false</hidden> <content>Update content for 6th revision</content> </xwikidoc> Package.xml: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <package> <infos> <name>Main.testpage</name> <description/> <licence/> <author/> <version/> <backupPack>false</backupPack> <preserveVersion>true</preserveVersion> <extensionId/> </infos> <files> <file defaultAction="0" language="">Main.testpage</file> </files> </package> Thanks, Amrita

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Roadmap for XWiki 7.3
by vincent＠massol.net 01 Oct '15

01 Oct '15

Hi devs, Since 7.3 is a stabilization release I propose that we don’t introduce any new features in it and that we focus on stabilizing the Nested Spaces feature which has had its first release in XWiki 7.2. The idea would be to work on Nested Spaces issues as priority and reduce this list to zero: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/IssueNavigator!executeAdvanced.jspa?jqlQuery=%… Of course we should also fix any important bugs from other features too. In addition a user has asked us to look at * http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12294: Unable to build on Windows because of failing META-INF/components.txt check Last, in 7.3 and 7.4 we should also work on fixing/polishing features that have been introduced in this cycle (7.x), such as DW/EM work to improve upgrades. Proposed Dates: =============== 7.3M1: 12 October 2015 7.2M2: 26 October 2015 7.3RC1: 2 November 2015 7.3final: 9 Novembre 2015 Note that I’ve put only 1 week between M2 and RC1 and one week between RC1 and final because we need to have a 7.4 that ends before the end of the year. I’ve left one week of buffer between the end of 7.3 final and the start of 7.4M1 in case we have delays. Tentative dates for 7.4: 7.4M1: 30 November 2015 7.4M2: 14 December 2015 7.4RC1: 21 December 2015 7.4final: 28 December 2015 Note that we don’t have much margin with the Christmas holidays. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
