Hi everyone,
In my role of coordinator for the XWiki 1.0 beta 1 release I'd like to ask
you all for your status on your tasks for 1.0 beta1. Thus could all of you
who have JIRA issues assigned for the XWiki 1.0 beta 1 release please let us
know their exact status?
I remind everyone that our target date is 10th of December 2006, i.e. in 5
days.
There are still 50 opened issues in JIRA! I'm very worried that we're going
to slip a lot... ;-)
I've attached an image of the issues by assignees. Those who have issues
assigned to them are:
- Jeremi
- Laurent
- Ludovic (twice? Could you fix this Ludovic?)
- Marta
- Nam
- Sergiu
- Vincent
Here's the status on my side:
* 2 issues are related to the build and are not critical (XWIKI-469 and
XWIKI-471). I still hope to finish them in time though.
* All my other issues are related to creating a clean xwiki.org web site,
reusing existing content from the current xwiki.org web site, cleaning it
and adding missing things. I've progressed on this and my plan is to have
something to show you by this Thursday EOD.
* NOTE: I'll send the URL to the new site shortly so that I can gather all
your comments.
* WARNING 1: I need the new 1.0 skin to be applied to the new xwiki.org site
ASAP.
* WARNING 2: I need some help on the layout for the spaces, menus, etc. More
specifically the current skin is quite bare.
Please everyone give me your statuses.
Thanks
-Vincent
Hi,
I think we need a "Documentation" component in JIRA.
WDYT?
Thanks

Hi,
This is really a question for Jeremi, concerning the following changes
to com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.XWikiRightServiceImpl.checkRight():
- From r965, "XWiki." was prepended to all group names stored in a
rights object that did not already contain "XWiki.", before they were
compared against the users's groups. This broke group access rights
for any groups not in the XWiki space.
NB: the variable name "userarray" here is very misleading since it
actually can refer to a list of users OR groups depending on some
flag. See the rest of the method to understand.
String fieldName = user ? "users" : "groups";
[...]
String users = bobj.getStringValue(fieldName);
[...]
String[] userarray = StringUtils.split(users, " ,|");
[...]
for (int ii = 0; ii < userarray.length; ii++) {
String value = userarray[ii];
if (value.indexOf("XWiki.") == -1)
userarray[ii] = "XWiki." + value;
}
- This was fixed in r1634: now it only prepends "XWiki." if the group
name does not contain a ".":
for (int ii = 0; ii < userarray.length; ii++) {
String value = userarray[ii];
if (value.indexOf(".") == -1)
userarray[ii] = "XWiki." + value;
}
I would like to understand why modifying the group name at this stage
is required at all.
Firstly, the editrights.vm template is now such that XWiki groups are
selected from a fixed list. Users cannot omit the space name.
Secondly, this code cause problems if, like us, you have a customised
GroupService implementation to provide support for non-XWiki groups.
The groupname that an admin enters into a rights form might be
tampered with in some opaque manner before being checked against the
list of groups the users belong to when they visit the page. Therefore
it becomes very difficult to implement a working custom group service.
Our implementation of GroupService queries an LDAP server and adds a
bunch of non-xwiki groups to the user's groups in listGroupsForUser().
We also provide a modified editrights template so that users can
define access rights in terms of these custom groups, along with
normal XWiki groups.
This cannot work if CheckRights messes with the group names before
doing the comparison. We could modify it to work around the
RightService's behaviour, but I'd like to understand why this would be
necessary.
Cheers,
Robin
