Hi everyone, I'd really like that everyone who's ever contributed to XWiki (whether at the code level, whether at the documentation, whether at answering the mailing list level, etc) is recognized for the work they've done. Right now we're doing this very badly and we need to change. For committers, I think the solution is relatively easy as there are SCM logs and once we have Fisheye set up we'll be able to easily make that visible. Also there are site like http://www.ohloh.net/projects/ 68 (even though the stats are wrong but that's another story ;-)) that make this information visible. This is not the case for contributors. For another project I'm working on (Cargo) we have a Credits page: http://cargo.codehaus.org/Credits. However even that is not perfect as sometimes I forget to add someone and it's hard to ensure it's done consistently. For XWiki, I had started this page http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/ view/Community/HallOfFame However, the contributors section is currently empty even though we have had lots of contributors and even today we have people like Brandon, Melv, Catalin, Pablo, Gilles, Marc and lots of others. That's bad, very bad as we need to make it as rewarding as possible for people to contribute to XWiki. Naturally some contributors can become committers but that's not always happening of course as contributors may not have the bandwidth to commit more. So I'm asking here to everyone: What should we do? What would contributors find nice to have? I thought if everyone helped filled http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/ view/Community/HallOfFame it could work but that remains to be proved... BTW, just after typing this email I'll start adding contributors on that page and please everyone help me. Thanks -Vincent ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail r�invente le mail ! D�couvrez le nouveau Yahoo!

[Proposal] New Architecture for XWiki 2.0

by Vincent Massol

Hi XWiki developers, I'd like to start a discussion on the XWiki 2.0 Architecture. I've put my thoughts on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Idea/ ArchitectureV2 (sorry I haven't explained a lot yet so I guess you'll have to be familiar with component-oriented development to understand fully what it means - Do not hesitate to ask questions if there's something not clear :-)). I'm listing down here the content of that page so that we can discuss it here more easily. I'd also like to start working and experimenting with it. Actually my goal is to do a POC to see what level of changes would need to be brought to the core and more importantly whether or not we can keep the backward compatibility and thus start refactoring in the 1.x code base rather than start a complete new 2.x branch. In any case I'd like to create a XWIKI_2_0 branch tomorrow for starting the experimentation. In addition Jason Van Zyl (whom I'm cc- ing and who's the creator of Maven, Velocity, Turbine, Plexus and other OSS projects ;-)) is keen to work with us on this and would also like experimenting ASAP. I'm thus proposing to give him write access to that XWIKI_2_0 branch. Let me know what you think Thanks -Vincent ----------- 1.1 Ideas * Component-oriented architecture using a Component Manager * Each component group (set of component for implementing a concept) is separated in its own build module and generates a JAR * Make the component 100% independent of the Component Manager used * Register the Component Manager using a Servlet Context Listener * Question: Should we use existing components from the Component Manager implementation? If so the question is whether it'll work with other Component Managers? 1.1 Implementation Details * Use Plexus as the Component Manager (each component JAR has a META- INF/components.xml file that configures Plexus) * Future: Make the components OSGi-compliant (each component JAR has a META-INF/Manifest with OSGi configuration in there) * Start creating a branch in XWiki (xwiki/xwiki/branches/XWIKI_2_0) for working on this. * Idea: It would be nice to merge back the work progressively (if possible) on the trunk. It might be possible as we have a public API which we could keep and only change the underlying implementation for now, thus preserving backward compatibility (except possibly for plugin writers but that's less of an issue IMO). 1.1.1 List of Components Required * Rendering and Renderers * URL Management (Portlet, Servlet, XMLRPC, etc) * Storage + Query/Search (JCR, DB/Hibernate, Subversion, etc) * Authorization (JAAS, DB, etc) * Authentication (JAAS, DB, LDAP, etc) * User/Groups Services * Document Services * Configuration Services (dynamic configs in DB for example) * Remote Calls Services (XMLRPC, SOAP, Email, etc) * Attachment Services * Statistics Services * Cache Services * Logging * Wiki Services (like getWikis() for a farm, etc) * Container Services (adaptation layer for Servlet, Portlet, etc) * I18N Services * Notifier Services (SMTP, IRC, SMS, etc) Lots of these services should offer extension points so that it's possible to write extensions against them. The idea is to remove the need for a Plugin interface that would list all the possible extension points. Instead it should be each component offering those extension points. Alternatively the extension would completely replace or wrap an existing component. 1.1 Todos * Create Architecture diagram listing all components required * Define the interface for each component * Idea: Start with the Rendering component and the Renderers (Velocity, Radeox, Doxia, etc). Note: We need ordering as a page is going to be rendered in sequence by all the renderers (unless a renderer says not to continue the chaining) ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Duplicate content-type in html code

by Gilles Serasset

Hi all, The source of served pages contains a duplicate content type (just use view source on any page of xwiki...) <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title> XWiki.org - Community - WebHome </title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> <meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days" /> <meta name="description" content="Free Wiki on XWiki.com" /> <meta name="keywords" content="wiki" /> <meta name="distribution" content="GLOBAL" /> <meta name="rating" content="General" /> <meta name="author" content="" /> <meta http-equiv="reply-to" content="" /> <meta name="language" content="en" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> ... The first one is generated by XWiki, the second comes from the HTTP Meta Inofrmation of the presentation preferences, as given by the xwiki-1.0-beta-3.xar This may usually not be a problem, but in a UTF-8 environment, it gives 2 different contents (the first one being (correctly) UTF-8, the second being ISO-8859-1. This meta information should be removed from the xwiki xar at it is now obsolete. If, for reason I do not know it is to be kept, then the document presenting settings of an UTF-8 xwiki should be updated.

Import do not properly handle file encodings

by Gilles Serasset

Hi all, I'm currently evaluating xwiki for a local install and found severall issues. Here is the first one. When importing a xar file, all contained documents are parsed using the default encoding of the server JVM, regardless of the effective encoding of the files. This leads to incorrect documents when running the server in an UTF-8 configuration and importing the released xar (as they are encoded using ISO-8859-1, and as they effectively contain iso-8859-1 characters, which are, BTW typos coming from French). I already corrected this pb on the current svn snapshot. I'll post the patch in a comment of the JIVA issue I created.

Why do we use Content-Disposition with inline mode in DownloadAction?

by Vincent Massol

Hi there, I'm trying to fix some issue and I'd like to understand why we have the following in DownloadAction: String ofilename = XWiki.getURLEncoded(attachment.getFilename ()).replaceAll("\\+", " "); response.addHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename= \"" + ofilename + "\""); response.setDateHeader("Last-Modified", attachment.getDate ().getTime()); To my knowledge, "inline" means that we're giving an indication to the browser so that it does NOT to bring up a "Save As..." dialog box. However my understanding is that when the user uses the /download/ action the attachment is bringing up a Save dialog box. So 2 questions: 1) Why do we use inline? 2) Why is it working? :) Thanks -Vincent ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail r�invente le mail !

Trunk doesn't run anymore...

by Vincent Massol

Hi, I've tried running xwiki trunk a few minutes ago and I cannot access any page when logged as Admin. It says "You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action.". Anyone changed something recently? ;-) Thanks -Vincent ___________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Mail r�invente le mail ! D�couvrez le nouveau Yahoo!

Two small modifications for XWIKI

by Zdenek Machac

Halo, I am only beginner in xwiki but I have two small modifications which can improve usability of xwiki. 1) modification of panel "Create" to allow automaticaly set parent page to actual page There is only: - hidden input 'docFullName' where is stored actual page full name - text input 'parent' where can write parent full name but if you focus this input there is filled value of hidden input Modification is adding this lines after input 'title' in Create panel source <input type="hidden" id="docFullName" value="$doc.getFullName()"/> Parent page: <input id="xwikidocparentinput2" type="text" name="parent" value="" class="panelinput" style="margin:auto;" onfocus="if(this.value=='') this.value=document.getElementById('docFullName').value;"/> 2) modification of panel Navigation it will be nice to have pages in navigation in hierarchy - first level pages without parent and next levels pages with their parents My modification is not ideal (one hour learning velocity, programing and testing) but it works. There are only 3 levels because more levels are not allowed by wiki syntax for lists (therefore I created new panel where is all docs in actual space for our instalation of XWiki beta3 - I look forward to next releases). There is full source code: (code between ## START Second level and ## END Second level is new and in first level is modified only $hql definition) #panelhiddenheader("Navigation") #set ($hiddenSpaces = ["XWiki", "Admin", "Panels"]) #set ($hiddenPages = ["Main.WebRss", "Main.WebSearch", "Main.BlogRss","Main.Test", "Blog.Macros", "Main.TagsRss", "Main.Ouverture", "Main.WikiLaunch", "Main.RegisterNewUserAction", "Main.SpaceIndex", "Blog.Category"]) #set ($blackListedPages = ["WebPreferences"]) <div id="xwikinavcontainer"> #set($spaces = $xwiki.spaces) #set($i = 0) #set($spacecount = 0) <div id="xwikinav"> #foreach($space in $spaces) #if (!$hiddenSpaces.contains($space)) #if ($doc.web == $space) #set ($spacecount = $i) #end #set($i = $i + 1) <div id="xwikinav${space}"> <div id="xwikinav${space}Header" class="accordionTabTitleBar"><h6>$space</h6></div> <div id="xwikinav${space}Content" class="accordionTabContentBox"> ## START First level (pages without parents) #set($hql = $xwiki.searchDocuments("doc.web='$space' and doc.parent='' order by doc.name")) #foreach($page in $hql) #if (!$hiddenPages.contains($page)) #set($dotIndex = $page.indexOf(".")+1) #set($pageName = $page.substring($dotIndex, $page.length())) #if (!$blackListedPages.contains($pageName)) #if ($doc.fullName == $page) - *$xwiki.getDocument($page).name* #else - [$page] #end #end ## START Second level #set($hql2 = []) #set($hql2 = $xwiki.searchDocuments("doc.web='$space' and doc.parent='$page' order by doc.name")) #foreach($page2 in $hql2) #if (!$hiddenPages.contains($page2)) #set($dotIndex = $page2.indexOf(".")+1) #set($pageName = $page2.substring($dotIndex, $page2.length())) #if (!$blackListedPages.contains($pageName)) #if ($doc.fullName == $page2) -- *$xwiki.getDocument($page2).name* #else -- *[$page2]* #end #end ## START Third level #set($hql3 = []) #set($hql3 = $xwiki.searchDocuments("doc.web='$space' and doc.parent='$page2' order by doc.name")) #foreach($page3 in $hql3) #if (!$hiddenPages.contains($page3)) #set($dotIndex = $page3.indexOf(".")+1) #set($pageName = $page3.substring($dotIndex, $page3.length())) #if (!$blackListedPages.contains($pageName)) #if ($doc.fullName == $page3) --- *$xwiki.getDocument($page3).name* #else --- [$page3] #end #end #end #end ## END Third level #end #end ## END Second level #end #end ## END First level </div> </div> #end #end </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript">new Rico.Accordion( 'xwikinav', {panelHeight:'250',onLoadShowTab:'$spacecount'} );</script> #panelfooter() 3) next I have one question: Can I deny creating new space to all user except admin? 4) another one small question: Is there some plugin to syntax highlight source codes? Macro {code} is very poor. I was working on syntax highlighting source codes in html on our university (I am staff of this university) for our documentation "server" (static pages). I have implemented that in Java for JAVA, XML, SQL source codes. If there isn't such plugin I would like to implement it and give it to XWiky community.
