XWiki-Eclipse plug-in
by tharindu jayasuriya 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hi all, Here I have attached some mock GUIs and a very intuitive requirements spec that illustrate the basic workings of XWiki-Eclipse plug-in. It's better if we can finalize these drafts soon because I need to go on with the development :). I have few doubts on the java package structure as well as about the icon graphics for the plug-in (i thought of re-using eclipse's ones where suitable). I went through XWiki XML RPC APIs and am comfortable with thw way they work (had to sharpen my SWT skills too). I'm looking forward to hear from you.. - Tharindu

Escaping velocity code inside form fields does not work properly on xwiki.org
by Catalin Hritcu 14 Jun '07

14 Jun '07

Hi, Escaping velocity code inside form fields does not work properly on xwiki.org. For example any of the following alternatives cause an error when entered inside a form field (but causes no problem when the same text is entered inside the body of a normal document): \#set(\$myfeed=\$xwiki.feed.getFeed(\$feedUrl)) {code} \#set(\$myfeed=\$xwiki.feed.getFeed(\$feedUrl)) {code} #literal() #set($myfeed=$xwiki.feed.getFeed($feedUrl)) #end Surprisingly a third (old) way to do it works, even in form fields: {code} #\set($\myfeed=$\xwiki.feed.getFeed($\feedUrl)) {code} I was not able to reproduce this problem on my local installation of XWiki, however on xwiki.org there are many pages that are affected by this bug: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowToListDocumentsWithACertainPrope… http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowCanIescapeOutQuotationMarksFromA… http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowDoIFindTheBacklinksForAGivenPage http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowDoIEmbedXwikiCodeAsText http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowToSetWebPreferences http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/HowDoIIntegrateAnRSSFeedWithinAPage http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/PrepopulateQuestionFieldOnFAQClassS… Does any of you have an idea on what might cause this?

Feature Request: Maximize edit window
by shivshan 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hi In Albatross skin, by default, the edit window is quite small. A big part of the screen real estate is taken up by the XWiki Document information panel on the right, the header and footer. Some wiki's have a feature by which the editor can be popped into a seperate window which can be maximised. Some others let you increase the editor area as much as you want. This would make edits of larger pages much easier, and you can focus on editing the document rather than scroll continuosly up and down. I had posted a screen shot of this problem sometime back. How easy is it to make this change? And is the popup editor feasible with XWiki architecture? Thanks Shiva -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Feature-Request%3A-Maximize-edit-window-tf3913467.htm… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Proposal] New generic Action for calling an API and returning the result as XML
by Vincent Massol 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hi, I'm writing a treeview (using the yahoo treeview javascript api) to display the list of all pages of a wiki and in order to have good performances I need to call a server-side method for getting all children pages of a given page (so that the nodes or the treeview are loaded dynamically). In order to implement this I thus need a new XWiki Action. Now I think it would be good to generalize this common need. As we add more Ajax to our UIs we'll need more and more calls from JS to the server side. I'm thus proposing a generic ExecuteXMLAction (or AjaxAction or another name) that would do the following: * Get the class, method and parameter to execute from the HTTP request * Verify that the class is in the api package (to prevent security issues) * Call the method using introspection * Return the result as XML using XStream (it generates automatically XML from any java object) Note: I'd need to define the format for sending the information in the request. Not sure about which format to use. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

issue: new blog post created in wrong space
by xwiki xwiki 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hi, When I use the new page panel in XWiki 1.0 final to create a blog post, I found that the new blog post has been created in the Blog space not Current space (noted at bottom of the panel). I did some look in the calling, and I found that equalvalent is adding, e.g., following line after a page link: ?xpage=create&tocreate=post&title=testblogcreation also I did a test on the xwiki.org page: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome?xpage=create&tocreate=post… which should result in create a new page at Main space but I got directed here: http://www.xwiki.http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/inline/Blog/testblogcreatio… see, it's not Main. test for "tocreate=page" result in right place. thus I doubt that the code for "tocreate=post" has some where miss the space parameter. as we need use the "new page" panel tool for creating blog posts in the calling space, anywhere I can get into solving this? Thanks in advance! Muzi

Register Rights
by Jonas Dias 13 Jun '07

13 Jun '07

Hi friends, I'm planning to use XWiki on a lab as a Documentation Tool. The Access to the Wiki would be restricted... so, people could only be added by an Administrator. By default, anyone who clicks on Register link on XWiki main page can Register itself. I tryed to change the Acess Rights of the Register Page (I`ve added XWikiAdminGroup with full acess to Register Page and XWikiGuess Denyed), but nothing changed... anyone can still register anyperson. I've already tried many things on AcessRights but I'm not able to see what's the problem. The rights on Register Page seems to never change. I really need to restrict the rights on Register Pages. May anyone, please, help me? cheers Jonas. -- JONAS FURTADO DIAS >> jonasdias(a)gmail.com

More about the JDK 1.5 upgrade and Google Docs Integration
by Radu Danciu 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hello again, and here's my progress report: I need the Google gdata api integrated into xwiki to help me with my task of developing Google Docs capabilities for XWiki. The gdata api can be downloaded from: http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/ (other programming languages available, but I believe we need java, right? :) ) Upon build, said api exports about a dozen jars into it's lib folder, of which (I believe) I only need 3: gdata-base, gdata-spreadsheets and gdata-client (might need others too, not sure, since I can't attempt to build right now - the gdata api requires JDK 1.5 to build). Those jars need be added to the xwiki lib folder and updating of build.xml and pom.xml as necessary. >From my observation, Google updates this api frequently (2 weeks?) so it would be really nice if we could actually include the gdata download and build process into svn / building xwiki (not sure if it can <or should> be done, since I am not up to speed with how the whole svn building is done). If there are any other details required, do ask, and I'll do my best to answer ASAP. Have a nice day, Radu

Java and xhtml
by evelyne24＠gmail.com 12 Jun '07

12 Jun '07

Hello, How can I get in java the value of an input build with apache.ecs.xhtml? I searched an hour or so on google and haven't found anything related to that. E.g: input hidden_input = new input(); input.setID(prefix + name); ... and at a certain moment its value changes (with javascript). Then I need its value in java. Maybe there is a way to get it using xwiki api somehow... I would be very thankful for an answer. Thank you very much. Evelina
