[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] How can we send live notification e-mails ?
by Clément Aubin 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

Hi devs ! Currently working on [XWIKI-14353](https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14353), I think that the live e-mail notification system could be implement as 2 different ways : 1. In its notification preferences, a user can select if he wants a mail daily, hourly or weekly (that’s already in place). We could add a new "live" option that does exactly what is expected : it sends a mail as soon as a document has been updated. 2. We could also provide a completely different option that sends live e-mails, but regular notification mails are still sent depending on the user preference and acts as a hourly / daily or weekly "digest". Finally one idea would be to use the same system that is implemented in discourse : a mail is sent approximately 10 minutes after an event is triggered, this means that if a user A is subscribed to the events coming form a document X, if this document is updated by someone else, the updates coming from the document in the next 10 minutes will be grouped in a single mail that will be sent to A. This could potentially be more scalable as less mails are sent to the users. WDYT ?

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC Update 3] RedPen Integration
by deshengchuan 03 Jul '17

03 Jul '17

Hi all! This is the third update regarding the progress of the Redpen integration project. Some of the info can also be accessed in the design page over here: <http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/RedPenIntegration> I have created a UI on XWiki. The two main parts are such: First, the application homepage will allow users to key in possible spelling and expression errors, and their recommended corrections. I have not started on building the backend in Java to process this database yet, but I'll start on it within the next couple of weeks. Second, there is a setting page within the global administration wiki that allows the user to key in basic settings parameters e.g. setting maximum sentence length. The functionality is still restricted to validating a wiki page on document save, but I will be implementing the function to run redpen validation as a Job next, right after i finish fixing and stabilising some issues within the code. Any comments? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/GSOC-Update-3-RedPen-Integration-tp760425… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

At this stage you’re actually less advanced than the FAQ application and the Glossary app is really just a copy of that (the part located in wiki pages).

The main reason for this was that I was basically facing problem with the language. I was hearing some things for the first time in my life, I used to google them a lot but because of having a very less experience in programming(1 year roughly), I was finding difficulty to relate things with each other thus not able to find the right resources to understand the concepts properly, so used to get stuck on them for days. I still face these things but certainly I am better now and will try to catch up. :) > > Some more specific comments on the code of what I’ve reviewed: > * The POMs have plenty of errors and you haven’t used the information that can be found http://contrib.xwiki.org nor the FAQ application’s POM as I have explained a few times (missing licenses, missing metadata, etc), incorrect README. > * You committed IDE files in the SCM (see the rules from http://dev.xwiki.org) > > * Would be better to use nested pages and put the Code space under the Glossary space. > > Could you please explain the one point above. Not getting it. See http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ApplicationDevelopmentBestPra… and especially: "Technical pages must be put in a subspace named Code” Would be great if you could review those best practices btw.

This means implementing an Event Listener that listens to glossary xobjects addition/deletion/updates and updates a cache of glossary keys and document references. A cache can be a simple structure such as a Map. You can google “xwiki event listener” for more info on that. There are also several examples in xwiki-platform.

[xwiki-devs] Glossary Application [GSoC][Update]
by Sarthak Gupta 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

Hi all, This mail is regarding the status of the project Glossary Application. I have developed the basic UI for the application which enables a user to add a glossary application and also search the already existing glossary item in the glossary space. The UI is still not very user-friendly as I had decided to finish off the leftover designing part after adding more features and just before the release of the first version. The next part of the project was "adding transformations". I have written the code for basic transformation but still facing some errors in it. Hope the errors may be rectified after some code review. The task that will be left before releasing the first basic version will be "the ability to add glossary items from the wiki pages by selecting the words on Wiki pages". More details on http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/GlossaryApplication <http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/GlossaryApplication>. Also, tests are to be written for each fo the above. Rest of the features which are to be added (See Design Page) will be implemented after the release of the first version. :) Thanks Sarthak Gupta

[xwiki-devs] [ANN] XWiki 9.5 released
by Vincent Massol 28 Jun '17

28 Jun '17

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 9.5. Lots of usability improvements: improved Livetable filtering (Date filters, Multilist filters, DBList filters), Page Templates can now be auto-selected based on the current location, simplified way of adding a logo to a Color Theme and a lot more. In addition, the new Notifications feature has been worked on too: grouping of related notifications, ability to send emails, configuration of locations and sending diffs in emails. Last but not least: XWiki Enterprise is dead! We now have a new XWiki distribution that asks you at startup what Flavor you'd like to use for your wiki, and we're providing a default Flavor called the Standard Flavor (the closest to the previous XWiki Enterprise distribution). In the future there should be more Flavors offered. You can download it here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download Make sure to review the release notes: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/Data/XWiki/9.5 Thanks for your support -The XWiki dev team

[xwiki-devs] Status on scope of XWiki GitHub organization and its implementation
by Vincent Massol 27 Jun '17

27 Jun '17

Hi devs, Part 1 ===== I was looking at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HTopLeve… and found the thread where it was voted in July 2014: http://markmail.org/message/4hglttljiio5v2km Does anyone remember the thread were we decided to not do it? I also found this VOTEd thread from 21st June 2016: http://markmail.org/message/rb5xuex3mpzg3lsm This new thread is not contradictory with http://markmail.org/message/4hglttljiio5v2km so it doesn’t supersedes it. Thus there really must be some other thread where we decided to not implement http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HTopLeve…. Part 2 ===== Now, about http://markmail.org/message/4hglttljiio5v2km we have almost implemented it. We’re just missing one point: “ * The Default Flavor would have at least the same release cycle as the base flavor but it could have more releases (if some of the bundled third-party extensions has some important bug fixes or new features that we want to offer quickly without waiting for the next base flavor release). “ And later on: “ Technically this means putting the Default Flavor in a separate github repo (same as xwiki-enterprise being in a separate repo). We need to discuss how we do it: - consider it’s XE for now and just add the 2 deps of Tour and CK to XE - introduce a new repo for the default flavor and do the build for it and deprecate XE in favor of it. For now we probably need to hardcode the flavor id in the platform WAR till we’re ready to have the flavor selection screen at startup (and for HSQLDB/Jetty packaging we need a hard-coded flavor anyway). " Right now we’ve put the “Standard Flavor” (that’s the new name) inside xwiki-platform but we discussed back then move it to a separate repo in the xwiki github organization and have only the base flavor in platform. Should we do what we decided? Thanks -Vincent

Hello, I have written some java code on 'transformations'. https://pastebin.com/CCHsg0hq In order to navigate to the required page, I am using the method 'ResourceReference' (highlighted region-line 86,87). Now I want to navigate to the page named 'Glossary.doc' which is located in XWiki. I know my current implementation is wrong and I have been struggling for 2 days to find the right implementation/method. Is there any method that I can use which can return me the String 'Glossary.doc' so that I can create a linkReference to the same page in XWiki? Thanks Sarthak Gupta
