Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-users] Not able to create xwiki pages from PDF document
by Anca Luca 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

Hello, The pdf macro that you installed is for visualizing the pdf documents, not for transforming them into a wiki page (importing their content as a wiki page). That's what most of the extensions that you find under the "pdf" search do. For importing a pdf document as a wiki page, you should try the office importer http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Office+Importer+Applic… . This application is bundled by default in recent versions of XWiki, so don't need to install anything, you'll just need to configure it properly. The documentation mentions it imports PDF documents, so it should do what you want (I personally didn't use it with pdf documents but it works fine with other office documents). Office importer application needs a running open office / libre office server installed and running on the server on which XWiki is running, please read carefully installation instructions here http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Office+Importer+Applic… especially the parts about configuring the office server.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Extensions: Display Release Notes only for latest major version
by Alexandru Cotiuga 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Hi devs, On http://extensions.xwiki.org, a lot of applications have been released for many times and the Release Notes began to pollute the documentation page with useless information (e.g.:FILEMAN-19: The word "attachment" is misspelled). I propose to keep displayed the Release Notes only for the latest development cycle and find a way to collapse for the others. WDYT? Thanks, Alex

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Remove old Radeox macros from e.x.o?
by Vincent Massol 05 Jun '16

05 Jun '16

Hi devs, WDYT about removing the old Radeox macros from e.x.o? Rationale: they’re confusing (since Radeox has been removed from the platform) and I don’t think anyone is interested in them anymore. Note that if you install the 1.0 rendering you’ll still get them anyway. They just won’t be documented but I don’t feel it’s a big deal at all. An alternative (more work) would be to move the page on some old.xwiki.org wiki... Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Email Automation] Proposal for the Download form
by Benjamin Lanciaux 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Hello XWiki Developers, Recently the following thread - [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Governance changes for xwiki.org - introduced some governance changes for XORG. I’m proposing to handle point A/ : Implementing a form on XORG (work already started by Vincent and Caty) and creating an email thread to manage the XWiki onboarding. Here is what I’m proposing to do. Use the XWiki SAS Marketing Automation Tool, Marketo <http://www.marketo.com/>, to automate some email messages after an XWiki Download. According to our governance 2 kinds of messages can be pushed to the XWiki download form DB members: 1. community related emails 2. business related emails *This thread is about discussing the community-related emails.* I would like to send automated emails on behalf of the XWiki development team. This is why I’d like your agreement on the flow below: 1. Send an email right after the download: « Get started with XWiki » 2. Wait for a week and then send a « Get the most out of your XWiki » email 3. Wait for another week and then send a « What do you think about XWiki? » email Below is the content I would put in these emails: ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- *# Email 1* Object: Get started with XWiki Body: Hello, Thank you for downloading XWiki. We hope you'll enjoy using it. In order to get the most out of your XWiki instance, we invite you to read the [[Getting Started Guide>> http://enterprise.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GettingStarted/||target= "_blank"]]. In addition, if you need help, feel free to contact: - the [[XWiki Community>> http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Support#HCommunitySupport||target= "_blank"]] - [[XWiki SAS>>http://www.xwiki.com/en/company/contact-us]] the main company sponsoring the development of XWiki - one of the other [[sponsoring companies>> https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Supporters/SponsoringCompanies/||… "_blank"]] We wish you a good onboarding with XWiki. Benjamin Lanciaux On behalf of the XWiki development team ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- *# Email 2* Object: Get the most out of your XWiki Body: Hello, We hope that your recent XWiki installation is going well and fulfilling your expectations. XWiki can be used for various use cases such as: - Knowledge base - Collaborative intranet - Public website - Business applications You should check out what other [[users and companies have built with XWiki>>http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/References/||target="_blank"]]. To achieve those use cases and get the most out of your wiki, XWiki provides a lot of extensions that you an install. For example: - [[Calendar>> http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/MoccaCalendar||target= "_blank"]] - [[Meeting Manager>> http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Meeting+Application||t… "_blank"]] - [[File Manager>> http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/File+Manager+Applicati… "_blank"]] - [[Task Manager>> http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Task+Manager+Applicati… "_blank"]] - ...and [[many more>> http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/||target="_blank"]] Check them out!

Body: Hello, We hope everything is fine with your XWiki and that you managed to reach your objectives by using it. We strive to improve the XWiki product all the time, that is why we value your feedback. Would you take some time to tell us what you think about XWiki by completing this 2-minutes survey? link to a Google survey. t would be great if you could take some time to tell us. You should also know that you can sponsor the development of a feature you would like to see in the XWiki product by contacting [[XWiki SAS>> www.xwiki.com]] the main company sponsoring the development of XWiki, or one of the [[sponsoring companies>> https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Supporters/SponsoringCompanies/]] Those companies also offer various development and customization services should you need help on that too.

I welcome your feedback on this and I'm also waiting for your "go or no go" to start working on it. Regards, -- Benjamin

[xwiki-devs] Issues for our VFS API (was Fwd: [truezip-users] Java 8 Support)
by Vincent Massol 02 Jun '16

02 Jun '16

Hi devs, This looks like bad news for our VFS API (our replacement and generalization of the previous zipexplorer plugin). We need to test if it still works in XWiki 8.1 (which requires java 8)… So globally we’re in a bad shape with our choice of using TrueVFS because right now there are 2 important issues: * Ability to set permissions, see http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12912 * This potential java 8 issue Thanks -Vincent > Begin forwarded message: > > From: Christian Schlichtherle <christian(a)schlichtherle.de> > Subject: [truezip-users] Re: Java 8 Support > Date: 30 May 2016 at 21:51:52 GMT+2 > To: users(a)truezip.java.net > Reply-To: users(a)truezip.java.net > > Hi Zoltan, > > I agree that the TrueVFS Access module needs some maintenance. Actually, I am thinking more of a rewrite because it contains some anti-patterns, is hard to digest and contains even a bug. However, this would require some serious amount of time and currently I just can’t do that. Things may change in winter, but I don’t know for sure. > > Regards, > Christian Schlichtherle > >> Am 30.05.2016 um 17:02 schrieb Zoltán Takács <zoltan.takacs(a)liferay.com <mailto:[email protected]>>: >> >> Hi Christian, >> >> First of all, I'd like to thank you for sharing this project with the community as it's really powerful and useful for those who struggles with CRUD operations on archive files. >> >> I was wondering whether you have plan to support Java 8 in TrueVFS as some issues have come up which related to the Java 8 e.g. https://java.net/jira/browse/TRUEVFS-159 <https://java.net/jira/browse/TRUEVFS-159> because the Files.walkFileTree() implementation is changed and when the code tries to get TFileSystem.FsNodeAttributes.fileKey() <http://www.atetric.com/atetric/javadoc/net.java.truevfs/truevfs-access/0.11…> it throws an UnsupportedOperationException. >> >> The annotation processor also warns about the Supported source version compatibility issues with 1.8. >> >> Also noticed that it's no longer possible to register to the issue tracking system, because the sign up link in JIRA redirects here: https://java.net/people/new <https://java.net/people/new> >> >> Thank you for your answers in advance, >> Zoltán >
