[xwiki-devs] [Contrib] New extension request
by Clément Aubin 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Hi devs, For the next few months, on my free time, I would like to create an XWiki extension that allows document import using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). I think that I'll be able to create the JIRA project myself, but could someone create the repository for this project on XWiki Contrib ? Here are some usual infos: * Repository name / Application name: `application-ocrimport` * Application description: `Creates Wiki documents from images or scanned PDFs using optical character recognition` * GitHub username: `aubincleme` Please let me know if you need something else. Thanks, Clément

[xwiki-devs] Extension documents edit protection and Main.WebHome
by Thomas Mortagne 08 Nov '17

08 Nov '17

Hi devs, We started to think about https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14377 with Caty and she noticed that it might not be as simple as "all extensions pages are protected" because there is extensions pages that are almost always supposed to be modified: first example is Main.WebHome which is modified 99% of the time but another good one is Sandbox or Quicklinks panel. So what do we do about it ? I'm not fully sure yet but here are some ideas : 1) So what ? It's still extension pages and you might still have conflicts during next upgrade. If you want standard pages to be modified then generate them during install. 2) Only show the warning when a page is hidden and consider all non hidden pages as OK to modify 3) Explicitly mark each standard page that is OK to be modified with some xobject 3.a) EM XAR handler behave with these pages as it always did 3.b) EM XAR handler has a special support for these pages controlled by one of the xobject fields (skip the document from any merge if there is any customization, always overwrite any customization, etc.) WDYT ? 1) might be too harsh, generating Main.WebHome might be doable (but still a pain to maintain) but it's quite a pain to generate the whole Sandbox space (and not even talking about maintaining it...) 2) we might still want to see some application home pages in the search result and most of them should really not be modified 3.a) will still have the "what should I do" effect sometime for pages that user is allowed to modify 3.b) has my preference right now, sounds like the nicest from user and author point of view, can even be used for other use cases than edit protection control -- Thomas Mortagne
