[xwiki-devs] [XEM][VOTE] Postpone XEM 1.0M2 release
by Thomas Mortagne 26 Oct '07

26 Oct '07

Hi everyone, As Vincent and Evelina explained in respectives emails hi will not resay all. Just that the dependency left for release XEM 1.0M2 is the new rights/users/groups management system that will be integrated in XE 1.1.2 (as for 1.2M2). So I propose to move XEM 1.0M2 release to Tuesday 30th of October. With this all other XEM releases date has to be moved too so : - 1.0 M2: Tuesday 30th of October - 1.0 M3: Monday 5th of November - 1.0 RC1: Monday 12th of November - 1.0 RC2: Monday 19th of November 2007/10/25, Vincent Massol <vincent(a)massol.net>: > Hi everyone, > > Ok so here's the status: > > 1) Evelina who was working on the UI for the rights management was > delayed.

Re: [xwiki-devs] Tutorial "Using DWR with XWiki plugins"
by jvivien.m2 jvivien.m2 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi, I mark your words, and followed all the corrections you suggested. i think that accessing objects attached to an XWiki page from inside a plufgin is somthing very basic, that should be documented. I guess its ok to redirect to the API guide, which has examples for velocity, since there is a direct mapping from Velocity to Java. Developers should hopefully figure it out without problems. So there should be a few more lines in the velocity snippet of the API Guide, not just to set but also to get fields. Having the java perspective as well might help, so you could have both a velocity and java snippets on the guide. Its a good idea to have an API guide, so as to structure the documentation (instead of having everything in one huge page :-) ) i guess the most useful thing regarding API for plugins would be to have the javadoc fully documented (one sentence for each method), but i dont know what are your documentation standards And do you think that documenting DWR in a tutorial is a good idea, since it fulfills a basic need for xwiki developers ? Are you ok with that ? Its not something from xpn, after all. LMKYT, R (Let me know your thoughts, regards :-) ) And i will probably contribute some tutorials for plugins, since i am working on xwiki for my final internship, and i ll have to write a report anyway. So i might as well write info available for the community, instead of putting together a useless report that nobody will reuse at my school.

[xwiki-devs] Tutorial "Using DWR with XWiki plugins"
by jvivien.m2 jvivien.m2 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi, I'd like to write a tutorial about using DWR (www.getahead.org) )with XWiki plugins. This is about third party software, but I think it can be something that people creating plugins for xwiki might want to use. This way I can share my experience (Ive been working with that for two months). I dont have any interest with the guy who developped it, I just think its a good tool to use. I havent heard of an equivalent solution developped by XPN. Though just let me know if it exists. Do you think its a good idea? Im gonna write it, just delete it if you dont like, or tell me what to change. See <a href="http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/PluginDWR">[ DevGuide.PluginDWR]</a> Can you also review <a href=" http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/CreatingPlugins#HPluginlifecyc…">the plugin creaton intro</a> ? Im not sure my last contrib was relevant/true. I think that someone needed to start putting this kind of info in the Developper guide, anyway. -- Jean-Vivien MAURICE Elève Ingénieur Informatique et Gestion, Polytech'Montpellier (ISIM) E-mail : jvivien.m2(a)wanadoo.fr Tél. : 0046 7 62 33 20 46 Skype : jean.vivien

[xwiki-devs] XEclipse 1.0M2 new release date
by Vincent Massol 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi, The XEclipse 1.0M2 release was supposed to be done on the 8th of October but since I was on a trip I wasn't able to do it. We need to replan its release. Since Fabio has started working on it I'd like to know when we can release it? Fabio, would you be interested in being the Release Manager for XEclipse and in doing the release of XEclipse 1.0M2 (I can explain to you how to do it)? I personally have too many releases and I'm being a bottleneck so I need more volunteers for doing releases of XWiki products/extensions. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Scheduler plugin branched
by Jerome Velociter 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hello devs, This mail to inform you that yesterday I've branched the scheduler plugin. The reason for this is I introduced a dependency towards xwiki-core 1.2-SNAPSHOT with this issue : http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XASCH-8. It's a nice feature to have in XE 1.2 : now when the scheduler makes operations like scheduling or pausing a job, it saves its status in the job XObject with as a minor edit. However, I personnally have the need of a scheduler plugin compliant with xwiki-core 1.1 for a product, and others that uses the stable branch for products might have that need in the future. Now versions of the scheduler are : * 1.0-SNAPSHOT in xwiki-plugins/branches/xwiki-plugin-scheduler-1.0. This is to be soon to be released 1.0 version of the plugin * 1.1-SNAPSHOT in xwiki-plugins/trunk/scheduler and xwiki-applications/trunk/scheduler : this it to be the 1.1 version, introducing the UI, on which depends now xwiki-enterprise:1.2-SNAPSHOT I'll also like to release soon the first version on the scheduler. More on this in an another mail. Cheers, Jérôme.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal][Plugins] JodaTime plugin
by Marius Dumitru Florea 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Hi all, XWiki could use a DateTime plugin for those (me included) that need to easily manipulate dates from velocity scripts inside xwiki documents. I can make such a plugin using the JodaTime (http://joda-time.sourceforge.net/) framework. I'll put it in xwiki-platform-plugins. Regards, Marius

[xwiki-devs] lucene index customization
by jvivien.m2 jvivien.m2 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

i am also trying to add some custom fields to the lucene index, by modifying the plugin source. for some reason the method Indexupdater.addToIndex crashes, when it tries to do data.addDataToLuceneDocument (luceneDoc, doc, context); writer.addDocument (luceneDoc); //crashes here but maybe when I get it to work, i can add a few words about it in the Lucene plugin page ? That s something that people might need when they deploy xwiki (search on certain object fields in a page, thus requiring another field in the Lucene Index). Maybe I can write a tutorial on this (metadata search in xwiki), since i guess it would provide a good example for people who are new to plugins (and i think the plugin doc is a bit ... sober :-) ) I however dont think i will have time to devote to testing hooks, so i dont want to write anything on that if i cant test it myself. -- Jean-Vivien MAURICE Elève Ingénieur Informatique et Gestion, Polytech'Montpellier (ISIM) E-mail : jvivien.m2(a)wanadoo.fr Tél. : 0046 7 62 33 20 46 Skype : jean.vivien

[xwiki-devs] "Creating plugins" tutorial -- DWR
by jvivien.m2 jvivien.m2 23 Oct '07

23 Oct '07

Hi all, - I ve recently modified the "Creating plugins" tutorial. Could someone check and tell me if my modifs are true and relevant as well ?thanks - I also wonder : when you call a plugin function from velocity, does it run with admin priviledges, or with current users priviledges ? I use DWR to access my plugin from Javascript as well, and then it seems it has only guests priviledge (when i do a context.getlocaluser). Also then the getUrl() functions crash, as well as the getDisplay...() for an object in a page. I would like to have more priviledges when i call my plugin functions (defined the plugin API class) from Javascript. No need to say that i will use your feedback to create a page about using xwiki plugins with dwr. Thanks a lot ! -- Jean-Vivien MAURICE Elève Ingénieur Informatique et Gestion, Polytech'Montpellier (ISIM) E-mail : jvivien.m2(a)wanadoo.fr Tél. : 0046 7 62 33 20 46 Skype : jean.vivien

[xwiki-devs] rss aggregator that makes pages
by djb 22 Oct '07

22 Oct '07

Hi devs, I want to develop a way to make xwiki retrieve data from rss feeds or an api and make pages out of them (actually I want it to magically appear, but don't think that is likely to happen ; ). I also want to explore getting xwiki to check these feeds for changes to the entries already imported and adjust (or synchronise) the imported content when changes are present. This will be (in most part) replicating the functionality of a WordPress plugin called feedwordpress: http://projects.radgeek.com/feedwordpress/ The data I want to import is from bibsonomy http://www.bibsonomy.org/ who have just released an api, but who have very flexible rss feeds available through which most of the information I want to import is made available. I found a very helpful post on this list which was heading in my direction, with xml, http get/post and javascript implementations to get a dynamically generated page in xwiki to be saved as a static page: http://www.nabble.com/Dynamic-Page-to-Static-Page-t2430628.html I am new to xwiki and wanted to get these ideas checked out before committing time to implementing them. So I'd appreciate any thoughts, comments, code, relevant to the above. with thanks, dajabo
