[xwiki-devs] Default link labels in WYSIWIG Editor
by Ivan Levashew 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hello! I'd like it to be possible to create links with default labels. I mean, [[Space.Page]], [[http://website/]] without "label>>". Speaking for myself, I'd like magnet links to have default labels mostly. I have recompiled WYSIWIG editor several times, and I have added new Wizard steps, so I've got some experience with GWT. I'm thinking about several use cases. The user should be able to enter magnet link as is. The user should be able to construct magnet link from scratch. And a hybrid use case: the users enters a magnet link in the first wizard step and improves it in the second one. An improvement is e. g. changing file name, adding alternative source and so on. I'm implementing two wizard steps: "enter" and "improve". Most often, it is wanted a label to be default. Default magnet label generator produces things like "klein_shock_doctrine.djvu (8.19 Mb)". These default labels mirror a content of magnet links in a human-readable form. But it is not obvious how to achieve this. I've tweaked GWT editor to allow empty labels in magnet links, but such links look empty in WYSIWIG and are being deleted on save. -- If you want to get to the top, you have to start at the bottom

[xwiki-devs] Fwd: Need advice before issuing a new wiki request on myxwiki.org
by Bogdan Flueras 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hello Xwiki Devs, I plan to create a new wiki on myxwiki.org for a large comunity of non-technical users (~1K), so Xwiki is my first choice. However I will add new features to the wiki, like: OpenId and JForum, so what I'm asking if there is a possibility to RE-deploy my modified webapp onto myxwiki.org afterwards, OR once the created wiki there is no other possibility to improve it ... If the answer would be yes, I would be grateful for a How-To. If not, I would search for dedicated hosting, and still be grateful for your work! Best regards! --

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Introduce automated escaping tests
by Alex Busenius 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Hello devs, I'd like to add a new test framework aimed on catching XML escaping bugs that we currently have almost everywhere. Escaping bugs cause broken, unusable pages when special characters are used in space/page/category/user/whatever names and often present serious security issues. This test framework will run automatic tests and also allow for writing manual tests. Currently, escaping tests are usually written using selenium2, see e.g.: http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/enterprise/trunk/distribution-test/ui-te… This is a bad solution, slow and tricky to write. Writing unit tests for such bugs is also not a good solution, because most of the time they originate in velocity templates. It is hard to test a single template in isolation, they usually require access to many API functions. The solution I propose works similar to webstandards tests. The framework searches for all templates and documents in XWiki Enterprise *.xar and *.war and generates automatic escaping tests for each of them. Each test then requests URLs from XWiki server with different parameters and runs a custom validator that searches for not escaped data in the response. Manual tests can also be added easily. The implementation can be found in the sandbox: https://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/contrib/sandbox/xwiki-enterprise-test-e… It currently implements some simple automated escaping tests on all templates and applications from the XAR. The parameters to use are chosen based on the source, using matching with regular expressions (searches for things like $request.get("something")). Full test run takes 8 minutes on my laptop. Current results: Tests run: 499, Failures: 166, Errors: 3, Skipped: 0 (there are still some false positives that I need to track down though). Files and test classes can be excluded from the tests using various properties set in maven (see pom.xml). Usual -Dtest and -Dpattern are also supported, e.g. to test all pages from "Blog" space, run: mvn -Dtest=ApplicationTest -Dpattern='^Blog/' install Some implementation details: org.xwiki.escaping.suite It is a custom JUnit4 test suite. It reads given zip file, then creates and initializes instances of the test class for each found file. The test class must implement FileTest (defines initialize()) and annotated with @RunWith(ArchiveSuite.class). Test classes can decide based on file name and content whether they can test the given file or not. ApplicationTest and TemplateTest use this suite. org.xwiki.escaping.framework Contains base classes for the escaping tests (implement downloading data from server, regex-based "parsing" etc.), escaping validator etc. org.xwiki.escaping Contains the tests (2 automatic and 1 manual). Instances of the test classes (built by ArchiveSuite or manual ones) a run using the default JUnit4 test runner, so all fancy test method annotations are supported. I propose to add this test framework to the main repository starting with 2.5 branch. This will give us more time to fix current issues (problematic files can be easily excluded to generate less noise). WDYT? Regards, Alex

[xwiki-devs] How to get all versions of an attachment via XML-RPC?
by Wolfgang Philipp 29 Jul '10

29 Jul '10

Hello, we are developing an application which uses the XML-RPC API of XWiki. It is the only way to get to the data stored in the wiki in our case (except DB access, which we want to avoid in first place). In our data model there is a media entity which serves as a container for the revisions of this given media entity. That means I need all the versions of an attachment, not just the current/latest version. I do not see a way to get to these data via the XML-RPC client interface. Is there a way to get all the versions of an attachment? And if so, is there also a way to determine the version number of a given attachment? Thx in advance for your answers!

[xwiki-devs] Fwd: The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache FOP Version 1.0
by Sergiu Dumitriu 21 Jul '10

21 Jul '10

FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: The Apache Software Foundation Announces Apache FOP Version 1.0 Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2010 19:39:47 +0200 From: Simon Pepping <spepping(a)leverkruid.eu> Reply-To: fop-users(a)xmlgraphics.apache.org To: fop-dev(a)xmlgraphics.apache.org <fop-dev(a)xmlgraphics.apache.org>, fop-users(a)xmlgraphics.apache.org <fop-users(a)xmlgraphics.apache.org>, general(a)xmlgraphics.apache.org <general(a)xmlgraphics.apache.org>, general(a)xml.apache.org Redesigned, Stable Version of Pioneering XSL Formatting Objects Processor Rounds Out Apache XML Software Stack FOREST HILL, Md., July 21 -- The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) - the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of nearly 150 Open Source projects and initiatives - today announced the Version 1.0 release of Apache FOP, the Open Source XSL Formatting Objects Processor. An Apache project since 1999, FOP is one of the industry's first print formatters driven by W3C-standard XSL Formatting Objects created to display, convert, and print to formats such as PDF, PostScript, SVG, RTF, and XML. In addition, FOP is among the most commonly-used output-independent formatters. The Apache FOP code base has grown over the past decade under the guidance of a Project Management Committee (PMC) who oversee its day-to-day activities and community development. "FOP v.1.0 provides a good subset of the W3C XSL-FO 1.0/1.1 specification. Its stable, 1.0 designation provides added recognition as the productive tool it has been for years," said Jeremias Marki, member of the Apache XML Graphics Project Management Committee. "Its redesign and improved features in the layout engine makes it an even better experience for the many developers and users who produce millions of pages each year." Apache FOP is in use at Accenture, Airbus, Australia Post, BNP Paribas, Capgemini, Credit Suisse, CSC, Denic, European Patent Office, FedEx, Ford, HP, IBM, IntelliData, Marriot International, Morgan Stanley, Polaris, Siemens, Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property, Tecra, US Army, US House of Representatives, and Wyona, among many others. In addition, FOP is the default implementation bundled in XML editors such as XSLfast, Oxygen, and XMLSpy. "Thunderhead relies on open standards, and FOP is at the heart of our innovative NOW platform. We are proud to have been able to play a part in its development," said Glen Manchester, CEO of Thunderhead. "As long-time supporters of FOP, our congratulations go to the whole FOP team at Apache on reaching the Version 1.0 milestone." The release of FOP v.1.0 completes a free XML software stack, comprising: Apache Xerces, Apache Xalan, and Apache FOP. The ability to insert graphics into one's print output is possible using Apache Batik. The Apache XML stack makes transforming and formatting XML data (for example DocBook XML) a viable option for individual and start-up users without business cash flow. "Some 'overnight successes' take ten years or more," said James Governor, Analyst and Founder of RedMonk. "Apache FOP seems to be one of them." "The training wheels are long gone," said Apache XML Graphics PMC Chair Simon Pepping. "FOP's popularity is undisputed; FOP is used from an individual developer's pet project to large-scale document production. FOP is not yet 'feature complete', and work on it is continuing. We hope this important step forward will motivate skilled developers to jump in and help us make Apache FOP even better." Availability FOP v.1.0 is released under the Apache Software License v2.0. Downloads, documentation, and related resources are available at http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/. -- Simon Pepping home page: http://www.leverkruid.eu --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: fop-users-unsubscribe(a)xmlgraphics.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: fop-users-help(a)xmlgraphics.apache.org
