Master plan to improve navigation in XE
by Vincent Massol 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hi, Here's my master plan to improve some of the navigation in the XE wiki: 1) Create new Quick Links Panels with important links (AllDocs, etc) and add it by default above the Navigation panel 2) Modify the Navigation Panel to support excluding pages and spaces. It would work as follows: - Create a NavigationPanelExclusionsClass class and a NavigationPanelExclusionsClassSheet. The class would contain one big textarea to enter regex of docs and spaces to exclude (one per line) - Modify the Navigation Panel code to look for all documents in the wiki having a NavigationPanelExclusionsClass object and use the content to verify if a page should be added to the Navigation Panel or not - Create a XWiki.NavigationPanelExclusions document (with an NavigationPanelExclusionsClass object attached) in XE to exclude some pages/spaces by default (the same that are currently excluded but in a hard coded way in the Navigation Panel). Also add the list of pages that are in the Quick Link panels to the exclusion list. I believe this point 2) will greatly enhance the value of the Navigation Panel which will then be able to be used effectively on some wiki-specific spaces for example. BTW we might want to also have inclusion lists and not only exclusion lists so the NavigationPanelExclusionsClass could have 2 fields and be renamed to NavigationPanelSelectionClass or something like that. 3) Improve performances of the Navigation Panel. Right now it's called on every single page display and does a huge query on the DB so if the wiki has lots of documents it slows everything down. I'd like to propose 2 improvements: a) Use a cache (see below) in which we put the doc list b) Limit the number of pages to be displayed to the first 100 (for example) and add some text in the Navigation Panel (like: "Displaying only the last 100 documents accessed - Use the AllDocs page to view all pages") 4) Add a Cache service which can be used both by XWiki Core and by Velocity/Groovy scripts (by making it a plugin for now). It would work as follows: - A singleton factory that allows getting and creating cache instances - The ability to specify if the cache is an application cache (lifetime of the JVM), or a user session cache (we might also need a request level cache but let's see that later) - The ability to specify a maximum cache size and an eviction policy (No eviction, LRU, etc) - The ability (and this is key) to specify to what notification even the cache should be registered to. For example we can imagine the following events: - DocumentModificationEvent - DocumentRenameEvent - DocumentCreationEvent - DocumentDeletionEvent - ObjectAdditionEvent - etc. What this means is that XWiki core use the cache factory to notify all caches registered with these events when they happen and the caches can then have a method to tell their users that the cache needs to be refreshed. We would use this in the Navigation Panel so that whenever a new document is created, renamed or deleted we would reload the cache with a query against the DB. Something like: #if (!$xwiki.cache.isRegistered("NavigationPanel")) $xwiki.cache.register("NavigationPanel", 100, true, ["DocumentRenameEvent", "DocumentCreationEvent", "DocumentDeletionEvent"]; #end #set ($cache = $xwiki.cache.get("NavigationPanel")) #if ($cache.requiresRefresh()) // do the DB query and add to the cache here #end // Display the pages from the cache here. So WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

Are you sure this is the problem? -Vincent

XWiki-Eclipse-Plugin-M2
by tharindu jayasuriya 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

We have completed work allocated for Milestone-2 of XWiki-Eclipse-Plugin (+ more). http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1361 Implemented Features: - view existing pages (as xwiki markup or browser output) - edit xwiki markup (using TextEditor widget in eclipse) - save edited content Although we encountered some problems as well, - We couldn't prepare the pom.xml file such that maven produces a deployable plugin component. Eclipse needs the plugin jar file to have a specific format and maven enforces a different format, we're still struggling to get it right (need some help). Although compilation and other stuff or quite ok. - Eventhough the edited XWiki Markup can be saved, the output(in browser) does not reflect changes untill we restart XWiki. Is there a way to forcefully flush the cache ? can this be done remotely ? All comments are welcome! Thanks a lot!!! - Tharindu & Asiri

Having a plugin modify xwiki core structure.
by Radu Danciu 09 Jul '07

09 Jul '07

In building my google docs plugin, I need to modify the structure of the user signup / details page (adding google username and pass). I would like to know if this can be done without my modifying the core structure of xwiki. To clarify: can I make it so that my plugin, when put into use, adds the two fields to the signup / details page? This would solve another small issue that would intervene if modifying the core - when you don't use the docs plugin, you get 2 useless fields in said pages. Any ideas on if and how I could do this? Thanks, Radu
