[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] WYSIWYG GUI
by Guillaume Lerouge 04 Aug '08

04 Aug '08

Hi, As per the previous thread on the topic (see http://is.gd/1bRm ), Proposal n°4 attracted the most positive feedback for the WYSIWYG GUI (you can see it here : http://is.gd/1bRo ) . If nobody has anything against it, I'd like to get things forward and ask a real designer (that is, other than me :-) ) to review it and propose a good-looking version of the proposal. Therefore please shout now or never if you're against it ! Additionnaly, if you look into the proposal you'll see that we will need to decide between 2 options for advanced input interaction : a modal dialog box versus a tray. Both have advantages and issues and I'd like to get feedback about them. The dialog box prevents interaction with background content while the tray allows it : that could be useful for tables for instance. Looking forward your feedback, Guillaume -- Guillaume Lerouge Product Manager - XWiki Skype ID : wikibc http://blog.xwiki.com/

[xwiki-devs] [GSoC][OfficeConverter]ppt conversion approach
by Wang Ning 03 Aug '08

03 Aug '08

Hi, When converting a ppt or odp document, the result of the conversion is some html files contain text and html files contain jpg images. A text html and a image html snapshot for per slide. And have the navigation links in per html, some thing like "First page" "Back" "Continue" "Last page" "Text"/"graph". For instance, the ppt with 3 slides will turn out: text1.html text2.html text3.html img1.html img2.html img3.html img1.jpg img2.jpg img3.jpg The img1.html is just the html file contain the img1.jpg. The return of the conversion only is the first page html, img1.html, which is not enough for the conversion result. The text1.html is the text version of the slide which doesn't contain any images in the source document. The img1.html is the snapshot of the original ppt slide which can display everything in the source document. There are three way to handle the ppt conversion. 1. assemble the text version of slide "text1.html, text2.html ..." to a final result. gmail's "view as html" of the attachment go this way. But this can lose the images of original document. 2. compress all the output file to a zip file and attach the zip file to the xwiki page. Then view the zip file content, like http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Snippets/ViewOfficeDocumentSnippet does. 3. assemble the image version of slide to a final result. BTW, I'm working on the "view as html" of office document in xwiki page attachment. I have two way to display the result html. 1. display the result html in a pure normal html page. This way is hard to display the image. Maybe "view as html" can ignore the image of the documents, as the office import feature can handle the image well. 2. put the result html page in a xwiki page content and display the xwiki page. This way can address the image as page attachment easily. WDYT? Please help me to make those two decisions. Thanks. Wang Ning

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC] [WEBDAV] Proposal to change slightly the views
by Ludovic Dubost 03 Aug '08

03 Aug '08

I've done some larger testing with a wiki with 4000 documents. The integration worked well (except some plexus init change needed). However the system is quite slow when getting to big directories. Although we can improve the server part, I think it's a bad idea to have by design large directories. Operating System WebDAV client can be very aggressive (downloading files to generate thumbnails, making requests looking for temporary files). I was able to improve the speed of error handling however there are still way too many calls to the server. For example the attachment view has more than 1000 documents. This makes more than 2000 request to display with the MAC OSX WebDAV client. So I propose to change our view to make it almost impossible to get to large directories in our WebDAV view. The general principle is to breakdown by space name and then breakdown by the first letters for the page name. For example the attachment view instead of being attachments/pagename/attachmentname would beconde attachments/spacename/firstletters/pagename/attachmentname firstletters would be the first letters of pages existing in that view. It could be one letter, two letters, three letters or could change based on the number of pages in the view. For example it could be one letter with less than 200 documents, two with less 5000, three more than 5000. We could go up to 100000 documents with folders of around 30 pages with a 3 letter subdirectory. I've detailed the view proposal here: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/WebDAVService WDYT ?

by Afzal Sharif 02 Aug '08

Hi, I am working with "xWiki Workspace 1.0". I have also source code of the same. I need one help to identify the files. I have few queries and I need names of the file involved for doing mentioned activities : 1. Creating user from admin ? 2. The end user is created by "admin" , then end user log in the page . Now from here, what are the lists of files involved to create session. Note : "MyPersistentLoginManager.java" is involved in identifying the request (With Cookies help). But before this, I am not able to understand , which file is calling the "MyPersistentLoginManager.java". I have also seen login.vm file. But i am not able to uderstand te flow of calling. Apart from above query, can u help me to think below mentioned ideas : 1. I have list of users in my database. All users are already authenticated. Now I need the same user can directly work with workspace. For this I need to bypass the "admin log" in activities. Is it possibl to do this? Please help me to think for this.If yes then how this can happen? Please help me to think for this and Where I need to concentrate to solve this problem. Although I am also reviewing the codes. But I need guidance for right track. I am thankful, if you all will give me ideas.
