10 Mar '16

Hello devs, I would like a repository on xwiki-contrib for a "XCarousel" application. Name: application-xcarousel Description: This app will allow users to easily create carousels, while still offering a variety of settings, like auto-sliding(on/off), interval, width, height, bg color, caption text size/color/link. State: It has not yet been released on e.x.o. but will be done asap. Tools needed: Github repository and Jira project. Username: ppantiru Thanks, Paul Pantiru

[xwiki-devs] GSoC 2016 Introduction - Blame View / Glossary Application
by Jack Zhang 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hi devs, My name is Jack Zhang, and I’m enrolled to begin my undergraduate studies this September at Harvard University, where I intend to study Computer Science. I am currently taking a gap year (time off from academics between secondary school and university), and at the moment I spend my days working full-time in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and pretty much the rest of my free time doing web development at betterworldcollective.com <http://betterworldcollective.com/>. I’ve been wanting to get involved with open source for quite a while now, and I’d love to spend time this summer contributing to XWiki! I am comfortable with HTML, CSS3/Bootstrap, JavaScript/jQuery, MySQL, and PHP. I'm also acquainted with Java OOP. I am particularly excited about two projects: 1. Creating the Blame View UI 2. Glossary Application I understand that both of these projects are still somewhat open-ended, so I look forward to delving into XWiki’s use cases and exploring Apps Within Minutes to better formulate some details on the implementation and UI of either one of these projects. That being said, any pointers or suggestions are certainly welcome! See you all on JIRA :) Jack

[xwiki-devs] [XWiki Day] BFD#94 - "Spring cleaning"
by Eduard Moraru 10 Mar '16

10 Mar '16

Hi devs, Today is BFD#94: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/XWikiDays#HBugfixingdays Today is a bit special, in the sense that we`re also working on releasing 8.0RC1, so we should avoid pushing unnecessary changes that might affect the release. What we can do however, as Thomas suggested in a different chat, is to handle today as a "spring cleaning" day for jira issues that we can identify as duplicate, invalid, won`t fix, etc. and which don`t involve pushing code changes. Our current status for the 1 year period is 119 bugs behind. See: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10000#Created-vs-R… Here's the BFD#94 dashboard to follow the progress during the day: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=13598 Thanks and enjoy your bug fixing day! -Eduard

[xwiki-devs] A suggestion for CKEditor
by Benjamin Lanciaux 08 Mar '16

08 Mar '16

Hello devs, I have a suggestion about the CKeditor layout. I’ve found this skin: http://ckeditor.com/addon/office2013 I think it would be really great if we could have it for the XE CKeditor for various reasons: - it appears (to me) that this is more modern than what we have in the current version - most of the basic/end users are used to Microsoft Office editor, they are familiar with it - in terms of communication, this can help promoting XWiki Enterprise, showing that the community is taking into account end users’ needs. I’m looking forward to your feedback on this. Thanks, -- <http://xwiki.com> *Benjamin Lanciaux* *Marketing Communications Manager* benjamin.lanciaux(a)xwiki.com tel: +33 (0)1 45 42 40 90 skype: benjaminxwiki

Suppose, I have one page with two language translations, e.g. English and Hindi. When someone edits English version, the history of its Marathi version page should also show those edits. How can I do that?

Re: [xwiki-devs] GSoC 2016
by Anjali 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

I have set up the dev environment in eclipse by forking and importing the *xwiki-enterprise-test* but I am getting test failures(exact failure is attached with the snapshot). Also, I wanted to ask few things: 1. Is there any documentation which can tell me what all tests are converted to the new Framework and which are not and help me get familiar with the structure of the project. 2. Is xwiki hosted on any test server. If not am I suppose to run is on the localhost for the tests to run(I suppose most of the tests are UI tests and needs a working application to test it). 3. For GSoC, do I need to focus on the just UI tests or unit tests as well? I am focusing on understanding the flow of one test inside the *xwiki-enterprise-test-selenium project *so that I can convert at least one of them before proposal submission. Any help in understanding the flow would be appreciated. Thank You. On Tue, Mar 1, 2016 at 3:53 PM, Anjali <shally.hp5(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I am a GSoC 2016 aspirant.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Extension Points needed in 8.x
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

Hi, In the past releases (7.3, 7.4) we added more extensions points related to menus. These are good steps towards making XWiki even more easier to customize, still we could add more extension points and mechanisms. With the help from Anca, I've created this page in order to detail some needs: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/UIXP8x - Order: should be handled by all extension points - Aliases - Disabling mechanism - UIXP: -- Content Menu -- Content Title (after) -- Content Footer -- Page Docextra -- Page Footer (before) - other??? Feel free to discuss about them in their dedicated issues or use this thread to add more ideas of needed extensions points. Thanks, Caty

Hi devs, I’d like to propose that we standardize on the following Template for README.md for all extensions on xwiki-contrib and that we start modifying all repos to use it: —— start here ————— # <Pretty name of Extension, e.g. Flash Messages Application> <Short Description of Extension, taken from the description element in the pom.xml> * Project Lead: <info taken from the jira project, e.g. Vincent Massol> * Extension Page(s): <urls on e.x.o, e.g. http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Flash+messages+applica…> * Issue Tracker: <url on jira.xwiki.org, e.g. http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XAFLASHM> * License: <license,taken from the pom.xml, e.g. LGPL 2.1>. * Development Practices: <either a sub list listing all practices or a URL pointing to a site defining the list of practices to be followed by contributors when contributing on this project> * Minimal XWiki version supported: <taken from the pom.xml, e.g. XWiki 6.4.7> ## Others (<use N/A when not used>) * Continuous Integration Status: [![Build Status](http://ci.xwiki.org/buildStatus/icon?job=<url-encoded job name on ci.xwiki.org>)](http://ci.xwiki.org/job/<url-encoded job name on ci.xwiki.org>/) * Sonar Dashboard: <url to the project’s dashboard on sonar.xwiki.org, e.g. http://sonar.xwiki.org/dashboard/index/10464> —— stop here ————--- Example: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-antispam/tree/master WDYT?
