[xwiki-devs] Modify page creation details without causing an update.. :S
by JoannaD 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi all Is there any way of modifying the creation details (or any other property) of a page/doc without really causing/trigerring an update? What I intend to do is modify the creator and the creation date as they were messed up during import but I need the author and the date to remain unchanged.. Any ideas? Thank you!

[xwiki-devs] [Idea] "Modern" skin for "modern" browsers
by Ecaterina Valica 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi, When the CSS3 fever began, Raluca Stavro came to me and asked me what I think about making a HTML5+CSS3 skin. My first answer was that is not gonna happen. We invest very much in making our skins have cross-browser support (especially old versions of IE). This is one of our strengths, but also the reason we limit ourselves from innovation. When I'm talking about a "modern" skin I'm not only referring about HTML, JS, CSS (having transparency, corners, multiple backgrounds, shadows without having to triple the code and the number of hacks), but it's about all cool/experimentation features, that boosts productivity, minimize code lines, etc. but lack all/old browser support (SVG, location awareness, CSS3 calc etc). So, in my opinion this would be an experimentation/shiny skin that by comparison would make old browsers supporters and lovers to quit their old behaviors and embrace the future :) :p So, the questions I have are: 1) would this be possible? would anyone want to do this sort of thing? I know the biggest problem is gonna be the maintenance, but could bring lots of innovation and productivity. 2) what feature/improvement/thing do you think it would be the most needed for a new "modern" "skin" (the topic somehow go beyond the skin boundaries)? Thanks, Caty

[xwiki-devs] [PROPOSAL] Use openoffice server when its enabled to do PDF/RTF export
by Thomas Mortagne 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi devs, Really fixing http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5251 as it is is a real pain, i.e. using FOP. That would need a XSLT wizard and anyway RTF support is not very good in FOP (according to FOP documentation). And seriously for a format like RTF it's a waste of time IMO. So what i propose for 2.4 is to do a small modification to PDF/RTF exporter to use openoffice server when it's connected. There is already everything needed for that in openoffice component which is used for office import currently. That would be a good POC for the future office exporter which will need a lot of refactoring and API to be clean. For this proposal I'm just modifying PdfExportImpl is a as clean as possible way to have this in 2.4. The only limitation currently is that OpenOffice does not really support XHTML and parse the content as it was HTML but since we have the same constraint with IE6 it's OK for now I guess. See http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=69635 for more. WDYT ? We should probably not show RTF export in the menu when openoffice server is not connected since it does not work at all even with empty content or remove the table generated by the XSLT filter for the cover. -- Thomas Mortagne

For lot of cases (that is at least everything that includes JS, and maybe more) we should be able to add such new features on top of the existing UI, i.e. without the need to create a dedicated skin. Take for example attachment Drag & Drop in the attachment footer tab. We just detect the feature and offer it if supported (do nothing if not). > > 2) what feature/improvement/thing do you think it would be the most > needed > for a new "modern" "skin" (the topic somehow go beyond the skin > boundaries)? Right now I think of - attachments D&D - upload with progress bar - growl-like client notifications (w/ WebSocket) - local drafts (with localStorage) - a profile picture sizing/cropping tool using canvas - ... I'm sure a lot more :) Jerome. > > Thanks, > Caty > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > devs(a)xwiki.org > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Apply code style to imports
by Denis Gervalle 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi Devs, Currently we do not have any code style specification for imports. To improve clarity of our commits, I propose that we decide once for all how we would like to have imports. Of course, normalisation of existing code will come with normal commit, I do not intend to update it only for that. Currently, Eclipse does java.*, org.*, com.* separated by blank lines IntelliJ IDEA does com.*,org.* together, than a blank line and java.* Old existing code has there own ordering... I propose the following style: import java.* import org.* import com.* import <anything else> import org.xwiki.* import com.xpn.* import static <any> If we agree on this, necessary IDE setup for both Eclipse and IntelliJ should be prepare/updated. I will take IntelliJ in charge, a volunteer for Eclipse is welcome (Thomas?) WDYT ? Denis -- Denis Gervalle SOFTEC sa - CEO eGuilde sarl - CTO

WDYT about this? should we keep it like that? (A) If I understand correctly, it means XWiki will not be an OpenSocial container, but will provide a "conversion" layer to make OpenSocial gadgets work with the XWiki gadget (= macros) system. I'm not sure it's the proper approach. It will not encourage developers of XWiki application / macros etc. to write their gadgets as OpenSocial gadgets, since writing XWiki macros will be enough (so it will not be possible to display a XWiki gadget in say JIRA). Plus, if we make XWiki an OpenSocial container, it does not prevent us from writing a generic XWiki gadget that can wrap any macro thus not adding too much weight on developers.
