version summary

by Matthew Conway

I've noticed that the version number (correctly) gets bumped for every new comment or image upload. However, I would like a means to show a list of revisions for _just_ content changes, i.e. exlude the revisions which were created for new comments and attachments. How would I do this in some velocity code? Thanks, Matt

Connection Pooling

by Sam Taha

Greetings, I am new to xwiki and was wondering how some of the multi-company features of xwiki work. From my readings it sounds like one must create a separate mysql db for each new company/tenant. If this is true would this not require a seperate database connection pools for each company? Are Oracle or Postgresql supported? I know with these two databases one can create database namespaces (something mysql does not have). This would allow the same jdbc driver to reference mulitple namespaced schemes and thus use the same pool. Anyway, any thoughts would be apprciated. I am looking to setup xwiki in a multi company setup and was looking for some insight. Thanks, Sam --------------------------------- Yahoo! Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs.

Problems with XWiki links with non-alphanumeric characters

by Stephen Schaub

Here's an issue I feel should be addressed before the 1.0 release: Create a wiki page with links like the following: [Images: Good or Bad?] [C++ Examples] XWiki renders the first link like this: <a class="wikicreatelink" href="">Images: Good or Bad??</a> It's completely broken. The second link is rendered like this: <a href="/xwiki/bin/view/Sandbox/C+++Examples">C++ Examples</a> XWiki should be able to gracefully handle Wiki links with non alpha-numeric characters. Here are my thoughts on a solution to the problem: 1. When rendering a Wiki link, XWiki could strip out all non-alphanumeric characters. Thus, a link like [Images: Good or Bad?] would render as <a href="/.../ImagesGoodorBad">Images: Good or Bad?</a>. Benefits: Straightforward to implement. Yields nice clean document names. Drawbacks: Presents backwards compatibility problems; several different Wiki links could map to the same document name. 2. XWiki could perform URL encoding on the Wiki links. Benefits: Better backwards compatibility (I think). Drawbacks: Yucky document names. Perhaps there are other solutions somewhere in between. My personal preference is #1. Backwards compatibility could perhaps be addressed with a configuration option switch. I created a Jira issue for this: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-188 Thoughts? Stephen

XWiki Developers Release

by Ludovic Dubost

Here is a status on the development towards the next release, which should be the one of the very last release before 1.0. The following major feature have been added to the current SVN version Thanks to the Summer of Code we have now - a WYSIWYG Editor - a Chart Wizard - a new Query Language Additionnally we have: - a new title field and different rendering of document names in links and in the header - a backlinks feature (activated using xwiki.backlinks=1 in xwiki.cfg) - a custom mapping feature allowing to store XWiki Objects in flat tables for advanced developments - new storage of XWiki classes definition in the xwikidoc table instead of multiple tables - the XWiki Preferences now use a custom mapping for better performance - lot's of bug fixes, incl. access through proxies, issues with the multilingual feature - an import/export API (for backups and for XWiki applications) which is needed for the Import/Export XWiki page - improvements to the URL scheme which will allow to reduce the number of elements in the xwiki URLs (currently some XWiki features still need xwiki to run on the /xwiki/ path) These are a lot of new features which needs to be well tested before become fully usable. Most of the features can be deactivated or are backwards compatible. We would need some help from the XWiki community to test this new version and report any issues in JIRA ( http://jira.xwiki.org ). Except for the preferences storage and the xwiki classes definition storage, it is possible to revert to an older version even if running the new version. Now it is highly recommended to backup your database and test with care on production data. I'm planning to provide a test build for developers, but if you want to test right away, you will need to build XWiki from the SVN code. The plan for getting XWiki to 1.0 is: - bug fixing - bug fixing - documentation - very small missing features - bug fixing - documentation - revamp of the XWiki interface according to the Usability report done during the summer - bug fixing - documentation Any help or comments is welcome. For now it would be usefull to identify bugs that would absolutely need to be fixed before releasing this version to replace 0.9.840. The objective is to provide an improvement versus 0.9.840 and allow working with the new features, not necessarily to provide a perfect version. Thanks and happy testing Ludovic -- Ludovic Dubost XPertNet: http://www.xpertnet.fr/ Blog: http://www.ludovic.org/blog/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost AIM: nvludo Yahoo: ludovic

Bounties

by Stéphane Laurière

What about adding a permanent XWiki bounties section, to somehow perpetuate the idea of the Google Summer of Code in the fall? This page pointed out by Marc gives a structured bounty process: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/bounties/document_view I'd be happy to sponsor a few ones if this makes sense to you too. By the way, since the move from SourceForge to ObjectWeb, is there still a way to make donations to the project? Stéphane

IntelliJ svn checkout fails

Behaviour when adding a property

by Yves Langisch

I defined a class with several properties and I created some documents based on this class. Now I added some new properties to this class but I'm not able to supplement the new properties in the existing objects (field is read-only, no input field). When I create a new one the property can be set. Is this a normal behaviour? Yves

This month is DOC month - I'll take a lead.

by Cody Burleson

XTeam: I hope you don't mind me giving you a name. :-) Sort of like the "A-Team". I hope it gives you a sense of pride. You are working on one very important software system. Why? Because Xwiki answers certain to needs that no other wiki does. In this respect, it is trully a unique system that has both great capability now and extraordinary promise for the future. A few noteworthy facts: Siebel Systems is using XWiki. Siebel is a worldwide leader in customer relationship management systems. More than one team at IBM leverages XWiki. IBM is a world leader in software, hardware, and business consulting services. XWiki has even taken life inside of the corporate offices of UPS, the worlds largest package delivery company. Give yourselves a big pat on the back! But not too big; I need your help. I have only recently joined the "XTeam" and my first goal is to fill a task that many do not often enjoy - creating and editing documentation. I do not necessarily enjoy writing documents, but I know that the importance of good documentation is too often overlooked. I believe that good documentation will help the evolution of XWiki more potently than most realize. I believe that... People judge XWiki before even trying it based soley on the quality of the documentation. First impressions are critical. If administrators have a poor installation experience (due to poor docs, for example), they will be disenchanted immediately. Innovative developers who can bring powerful enhancements to XWiki can bring those improvements faster if we decrease the initial learning curve through solid documentation. Open source projects are typically poor in documentation. Thus, we can look at this as a lesson and strive to use this as a point of great differentiation. My goal over the coming month is to play a strong role in transforming the User Guide and Administrator Guide. To achieve this goal, I pledge to work on documentation a little bit each day. Afterwards, I will probably roll into the usability and user interface focus. Until then, i hope you will accept me as a workhorse for you. Here's how you can help me (and the XWiki evolution): 1. Take a little time out to reflect on some things you have learned about XWiki and document them in the new guide areas. DEV GUIDE: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WebHome ADMIN GUIDE: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/WebHome 2. Feel free to send rough notes, comments, or thoughts to me and I will do the dirty work of cleaning them up and finding an adequate home for them in the guides, 3. Explore the organization of the new guides. Look for empty holes. Ask yourself what you might be able to contribute there and contribute something if you can. I am sure that before the month is over, we may reorganize the guides more than once just to get them "just right", so expect to see some changes and some movement of documents. Ludovic has already gotten a reorg started; it isn't perfect, but it is better. Progress must be iterative. Expect frequent questions from me here as I struggle to learn and ensure accuracy of the documentation. At a minimum, please remember that source code documentation can be extremely valuable for other XTeam members. Otherwise, just keep up the great work on the software and do what you can to review and improve the accuracy of the new docs that will be going up over the month (as time permits). ================================== Cody Burleson cburleso(a)us.ibm.com

[Fwd: Re: [phoenix-dev] XWiki]

by Stéphane Laurière

I'm forwarding to the list part of a discussion currently starting in the Eclipse-Phoenix project mailing-list. The Phoenix project consists in providing a new infrastructure for Eclipse online infospace: http://eclipse.org/phoenix/ Most requirements of the project are listed there: http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/phoenix-dev/msg00053.html Any support is welcome for comparing XWiki with other wiki engines and for discussing further with Phoenix team!

XWiki Backup trouble - Part 2 (Getting there)

by Cody Burleson

Unbelievable what I had to go through to get some of the backup system to work on Windows! The classpath in the env.sh file is so long that when you convert it to a Windows .bat file, Windows doesn't even accept it! I had to copy all my libraries into C:\lib just to get the classpath line short enough. I executed the export script (groovy export). The utility created a db folder with files in it, so it seems to work (I guess). Except for the following error in my xwiki.log file: 17:26:53,428 WARN main Configurator:configure:126 - No configuration found. Configuring ehcache from ehcache-failsafe.xml found in the classpath: jar:file:/C:/lib/ehcache-1.1.jar!/ehcache-failsafe.xml A few questions now: 1. Does anyone know why I am getting this ehcache-failsafe warning? 2. Does backup's export/import handle the binary attachments? 3. If I backup from one wiki and import in another, am I overwriting the wiki or appending to it? 4. Is there a plan to incorporate the backup feature into the XWiki user interface (because all of this special configuration on Windows is quite troublesome)? ================================== Cody Burleson

Trouble with Backup - HELP

by Cody Burleson

So, I am having trouble figuring out how to use the new backup feature. Can someone throw me a bone? Here is what I have done: 1. Upack the latest Groovy binaries to C:\groovy-1.0-jsr-03 (download from Groovy site) 2. Set GROOVY_HOME env variable to GROOVY_HOME that directory (C:\groovy-1.0-jsr-03) 3. add C:\groovy-1.0-jsr-03\bin to your PATH environment variable. 4. Put C:\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\xwiki\WEB-INF\lib\xwiki.jar; on CLASSPATH 5. Test on cmd: Type groovyConsole to make sure groovy works 5. Copy libs from xwiki "backup" into lib folder of xwiki/web-inf 6. copy "hibernate.cfg.xml" from backup to xwiki/web-inf/classes 7. copy import.groovy and export.groovy to webapps/xwiki/ Then, when I type the following on the CMD line, I get an error (see below) C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>cd C:\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\xwiki C:\Tomcat 5.5\webapps\xwiki>groovy export.groovy General error during class generation: No such class: XWikiContext in constructor call for class: xwiki.export.export. At [7:11] export.groovy 1 Error The XWiki war I am using is from a build I did last night off of all the latest code from the Trunk branch. But why is my XWikiContext not recognized? I have even put xwiki.jar on the classpath. ?????? ================================== Cody Burleson

Associations between classes

by Yves Langisch

Hi I'm looking for a way to define some kind of associations between classes. Let me explain by an example what I mean exactly: I want to collect structured data for countries and its regions. To achieve this I define to classes, CountryClass and a RegionClass (incl. the sheets and templates). Now the user should be able to create new country objects _and_ he should have the possibility (in the form itself) to define which regions belong to a country. I tried to achieve this by adding a database list property to the country class with an appropriate hibernate query which selects all region documents. This let the user select one or more regions for a country. This is fine so far but - Is there any more general or a better way to achieve this associations (e.g. without hibernate queries)? - How can I adapt my ClassSheet so that the selected region associations are hyperlinked to the appropriate region objects? Thanks Yves

Add collaborative categorization in xwiki

by vtmagnard＠free.fr

All, I have a project to add new Knowledge Management functionalities in xwiki, the first one I have selected is the collaborative categorization also known as folksonomy. The point is to allow the wiki users to categorize the wiki topic with keywords as what you can do in http://del.icio.us/ . Does anybody have ideas on this subject? Thierry Magnard

How to integrate another rendering engine (wikipedia style)?

by Axel

Hi I'm new to XWiki and would like to know, how can I integrate another rendering engine into XWiki (especially Wikipedia rendering based on Radeox)? Is there an online guide available? Can someone point me to the main interesting classes? Is there a "synchronizing API" with another XWiki instance available? Does someone has experience in integrating XWiki into a roller blog system? -- Axel Kramer http://www.plog4u.org - Wikipedia Eclipse Plugin http://www.bliki.info
