[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Clarification about the "More Actions" menu + extradcos tabs

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, Here’s the outcome of a discussion I had with Caty/Edy on IRC + addition of some elements of my own. The idea is to clarify our strategy for the “More Actions” menu. So here’s a proposal: * The More Actions menus is actually a "More" menu since it doesn't contain only actions. Specifically it contains 2 types of links: ** Actions such as Export, Annotate, Print, Share ** Information about the page (they're not actions): History, Comments/Annotations, Children, Attachments * The "View Source" entry is not placed correctly and should be moved to the information section * The "Information" entry could be renamed or be made more specific since the whole section of the menu is about information about the page. It used to contain children but that's been separated so all it contains now are included pages and backlinks. These could be transformed into 2 viewers: one for includes pages and one for backlinks * The extradocs tabs do not need to match the information section of the "More" menu. We only display in the tabs the most important actions. * Idea: In order not to have too many tabs and to simplify the UI, we could decide to remove the Information one and have "Included Pages" and "Backlinks" only as menu entries. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Display the children/sibling menu entry even for pages that don't exist?

by Vincent Massol

Hi devs, In the past it was possible to see the space index even when on a page that didn’t exist. We’ve lost this feature when we introduced the children/siblings menu entry at the page edition level (in the ‘other’ menu on the right). We have 2 choices: A) Keep it like this B) Display the ‘other' menu and children/silbing entry even when on a page that doesn’t exist. The rationale for B) is that XWiki allows creating pages inside pages that don’t exist, so even if you’re on a non-existing pages, it’s still interesting to be able to see children/siblings. A use case I got today: * I was on Admin.WebHome. There were 53 children doc. * I renamed Admin.WebHome with children to another space * The rename failed but Admin.WebHome was moved * I wanted to quickly list the children of Admin.WebHome that were not moved. Of course I could have navigated away and opened the drawer to go to AllDocs and then filter on Admin but that’s extra work. I was looking for a children LT view and realized it wasn’t displayed because I was on a non-existing page. WDYT? What do you prefer between A) and B)? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] RedPen Integration in XWiki

by Nitish Chauhan

Hello sir , For the past few days, I had examined and read the documents you mentioned about RedPen Integration in XWiki. Since I am new to XWiki, I also researched about XWiki itself. I was able to extract the following information :- 1.) XWiki is a free wiki software platform written in Java with a design emphasis on extensibility. 2.) It is large Scale structured Wiki. 3.) Can make Page Editing (like wikipedia) easy & fast. 4.) Can help to change the Wiki Layout . 5.) Easy link integration . Can change the Wiki layout also. some Advance features :- 1.) Can integrate Code also through it.(simple scripts can be included in the wiki pages like python,velocity,etc). 2.) Xwiki allows us to include META-DATA in the pages. How it works :- 1.) Xwiki core has many API's. 2.) There are different Classes & each class can have different instances or Objects. 3.) In XWiki there is possibilty of adding Objects like :- Tag Object , etc 4.) Application in Xwiki = set of Pages (Classes , Objects ,...). The Current Idea for GSOC :- The Idea is to integrate RedPen inside XWiki. What is RedPen?? 1.)RedPen is a proofreading tool that helps writers & developers to write Technical documents or manuels without any error.Basically, it improves the quality of documents. 2.) Can only be used for natural languages not computer languages. Why to use in Xwiki?? In many cases , XWiki users had to write some Natural language documents , so in order to reduce the error , a RedPen integration would be great. How?? 1.) There can be a RedPen plugin in Xwiki, Which will list out all the errors when the user will save the documents. 2.) RedPen does this , by using different validators. 3.)RedPen supports the following validators. 1.)SentenceLength 2.)InvalidExpression 3.)InvalidWord 4.)SpaceBeginningOfSentence 5.)CommaNumber..etc According to our requirements , we can insert more types of Validators. RedPen users can extend RedPen by creating new Validators. (In JAVA) I also tried to read "REDPEN INTELLIJ IDEA PLUGIN". It is easy to install RedPen Plugin in it , but sir can you help me a little on how to basically integrate it to XWiki. I need some help in this case. I tried searching on JIRA , but was to able to extract relevent info from there. It would be great , if you could guide me little. I am willing to learn new Technology if needed. Also, what are the things that should be included in the GSOC proposal (I need some help in that also) Looking Forward for your Help , reviews & suggestions. Thank you. regards, Nitish Chauhan

[xwiki-devs] Is there any way to automate extension installation?

by abtv

I have xwiki enterprise with Postgres as db backend. Right now I'm using the following: 1. Download http://download.forge.ow2.org/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise-web-7.4.1.war unzip it and put it under Jetty. 2. Change config files to use Postgres. 3. Download http://download.forge.ow2.org/xwiki/xwiki-enterprise-ui-mainwiki-all-7.4.1.… 4. Run xwiki 5. Import xwiki-enterprise-ui-mainwiki-all-7.4.1.xar via UI. I wonder if it's possible to make step 5 (import xar file) via API (don't use UI for it). I would like to simplify xwiki deployment. What I've already done: I automated spaces/pages creation via REST API. I think there should be some way to automate extension installation. I've found XFF REST API http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/XFF+REST+API . Is it possible to use it to install xar files with extensions? Maybe there are other ways? I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Is-there-any-way-to-automate-extension-in… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Move all pages specific to xwiki.org customisations in a XWikiOrg space

by vincent＠massol.net

Hi devs, I’d like that we agree on a rule, which is to put all our xwiki.org customizations inside a XWikiOrg space (for the main wiki and all subwikis). I’m not talking about apps but about pages to customize the UI such as skin, color themes, panels, UIX, etc. I need to create some UIX for the quick search on subwikis so I’m going to start this now. Let me know what you think. Thanks -Vincent
