[xwiki-devs] AppWithinMinutes Create Process
by Ludovic Dubost 15 Apr '11

15 Apr '11

Hi, Here is the second email promised about the creation process. The main issue is to allow to create without already having a page name and to have automated page naming based on the user provided data and rules associated to the creation. http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ApplicationWithinMinutesPageCrea… This is an important part of the user experience and something we have found to be not natural when developping applications.

[xwiki-devs] about Gsoc project proposal: XEclipse “RESTification”
by Jun Han 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Dear all, I have submitted the proposal (XEclipse “RESTification”) before student application deadline (April 8th), However, until today, I do not get any comments on this proposal. Clearly it will not be the case that the proposal is so well written that no comments are needed. In fact, I am worrying about the opposite side: the proposal has fundamental issues and mentors do not want to comment about it. If that is the case, I would like some one may point out the problems and I will try to refine the proposal as soon as possible. Best regards Jun Han

Hi, I want to know if there are any thoughts about the current Homepage of a standard XWiki Enterprise Manager. - What do you think of the current functionality? - What do you think worths keeping or should be removed? - What other functionality would you think would help the experience? Thanks, Caty P.S. A similar thread exists also for XE Homepage

[xwiki-devs] Patch for: Missing Default input focus and Enter key handling
by Stefan Mirea 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Hello all, I've been working (and almost finished) a patch to fix the issue:Missing default input focus and Enter key handling <http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4383> I have a question regarding point 1) Popups. As far as I've seen in the custom lightbox that xwiki has, no global event is fired when a lightbox "window" has finished loading, other than only a onComplete function parameter which, is useful, but for this specific issue, when talking about opening a popup, I see no reason why to not have the first input element in that box selected by default. The way I tackled the whole point 2) is by automatically selecting the first input for the #admin-page-content object, solving all panels focus at once. I wanted to implement the same functions for the popups, but can't do that without a global event. Therefore I wanted to ask your input/suggestions for this approach Cheers, Stefan -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Stefan Mirea, Webmaster @ Mercator College <http://mercator-college.org>

[xwiki-devs] [GSoC 2011] XWiki Mobile Skin/App Development
by Avinash Parida 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Hi, I was working on the XWiki Mobile skins initial iterations of layouts and themes and would like to discuss further on this topic.These are some of the UI views: http://www.globaldelight.com/XWiki/xwiki-layouts.jpg [Overall feel and look] http://www.globaldelight.com/XWiki/activity-page.jpg [Activity Page] http://www.globaldelight.com/XWiki/edit-page.jpg [Edit Page] http://www.globaldelight.com/XWiki/profile-page.jpg [Profile Page] I am working further on creating more detailed versions and also flowcharts for the views. On reading the previous threads I wanted to dig in on Development point of view. I thought of 2 options for the scope of this project and its purpose. 1. Making a browser based mobile skin only by using HTML5 + CSS + JS , velocity templates and fetching the data from REST or XML-RPC. The data can be also displayed by using Ajax making it a good web-app. But this does not allow the use of native capabilities like camera or notification as it resides on the browser. 2. The use of web-technologies for making cross-platform application with JS touch framework and porting framework. The application needs to use the phones native features such as Camera API, Notification(Vibrate) , Geolocation, File Storage and much more which are not possible via simply an web-application so requires a porting framework. Either PhoneGap or Appcelerator Titanium will be good but i have been following both and I want to point out a few things. Advantages of PhoneGap -MIT licence -Easier testing in browser /simulator -Support for iOS , Android, Symbiam, PalmOS Advantages of Titanium -Easy to get native looking app , native UI component -Better performance -can be extended to add native feature Developing on PhoneGap or Titanium is not an ideal form considering XWiki is written in Java but solves the purpose of making it mobile compatible. These allows the app to be natively packaged for different platforms like iOS , Android or Symbian. This way the app resides on the phone and only minimum data transfer is required. This would really enable to access XWiki on mobile devices in an appropriate way. The main focus is to access the main XWiki features. I am still working on fetching data using REST on the above porting framework , would be great if i could get more help on this. Hope my ideas and opinions would be helpful. I would really appreciate comments and remarks towards this. Regards, Avinash
