[xwiki-devs] Update objects on class rename
by Marius Dumitru Florea 09 Feb '19

09 Feb '19

Hi devs, I'm working on https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-1660 (I need it for https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13352) and I'd like to change the page rename job (from refactoring module) to update the existing objects when a class is renamed *if the "Update links" options is checked*. Of course, we could add a new option (e.g. "Update objects") but: * it complicates the rename UI (too many options) * I think most of the users understand the current "Update links" option as "update the places where this page is *used*". I don't think it makes sense to have separate options (at least at the UI level) for things like "Update macro calls" or "Update image includes". * I don't see why you would want to update the back-links but not the objects (or the other way around). If we agree on using a single option ("Update links") then the next questions are: * Is there a better name? I think "Update links" is a good name for simple users so I would keep it. Another option is "Update references" but it has a special meaning for XWiki developers. * Should we update the hint for the "Update links" option? I think we should, but only for advanced users, since they should be aware of the implications of renaming a class. Simple users are not aware of the existence of objects, most probably, so I wouldn't complicate their lives. The final question is whether we should keep the rename job question about classes. I think we should. The reason we added it is because renaming a class is currently dangerous. Updating the objects makes it a bit less dangerous because the data is preserved, but classes are often used in scripts (e.g. a live table) and those scripts are not updated so there's a high chance that something will not work correctly after the class rename. WDYT? Thanks, Marius

[xwiki-devs] [contrib] Livetable exporter macro extension request
by Stéphane Laurière 30 Jan '19

30 Jan '19

Hi everyone, I'd like to propose an evolution of the livetable Excel export macro [1] so as to support CSV export, and possibly ODS in the future. I'm adding Anca and Guilhaume as original authors (and we discussed the idea with Anca). Since the existing macro name would not match with this new functional perimeter, my proposal would be to create a new macro that we could call "livetable exporter macro". This macro would be at first a copy of the existing one in order to keep the source code history tree, and then it would evolve on its own. Hence my question: would you approve the creation of a "macro-livetable-exporter" repository on github.com/xwiki-contrib, and an LTEXP project in JIRA?

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC] XWiki is applying for GSoC 2019. Proposals and mentors needed!
by Eduard Moraru 29 Jan '19

29 Jan '19

Hello fellow XWiki community members, This year XWiki is planning to participate once more at Google's Summer of Code [1]. The organization registration period has already started (15th January) and the deadline is on the 6th February [2] (just 1 week left). 1. We need to provide by then a list of proposals and assign mentors for the students that are going to implement them. I would like to ask everybody that wants to participate as a mentor from the XWiki organization to review the proposals [3] list (we have just 5 proposed projects up to now) and add as many interesting proposals as possible. The proposals can be either new, or they can be revived from previous years. Just navigate to the previous years [4], find the proposal you like and know about, go to its proposal page (click it) and press the "Clone to this year" link. Now you can assign yourself as lead for that project, update it's description if needed and wait for the student applications to start pouring :) 2. We also need to submit the actual application [5] of the XWiki organization to participate to the GSoC 2019 project so I would also like to ask you to review it so that we have a better chance of being selected into the program. 3. If you feel that you would like to help on improving XWiki's GSoC guides and application forms, please find tips for students [6] on XWiki's GSoC page, the student application form [7] and the lessons learned [8] from previous years participations. Thanks for your help, Eduard ---- [1] https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ [2] https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/#timeline [3] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/#HProposedProjects28… [4] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/WebHome#HPreviousGSo… [5] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/OrganizationApplicat… <https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/OrganizationApplica…> [6] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines <https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines> [7] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/student+application+… <https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/student%20applicati…> [8] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/LessonsLearned <https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/LessonsLearned>
