Surveys
by Timothee Peignier 27 Jul '05

27 Jul '05

I'm currently trying to create a survey feature : http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/Polls Currently, it works without complete translation and a painful piece of code : http://club-beta.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/view/Survey/SatisfactionSurvey I'm facing somes problems : - Translatable property value doesn't exists, useful for ListClass properties. - Separated label and value in select (ListClass). - No getBooleanValue method in BaseCollection. Not real problems : - Lack of documentation. At least commented XWiki API Documentation could be really helpful. - 'Turns You Crazy' API : The difference between Document and XWikiDocument is thin but crucial, same with Class and BaseClass and many others. It's sometimes killing simplicity in the name of abstraction : doc.getxWikiClass().getXWikiClass().getFieldList() So if you could help or give me any hints/advice to add this feature in xwiki, or if an more easy/universal way to add this feature in xwiki exists, tell me. Best regards, Tim -- http://people.tryphon.org/~tim/

Feedback from Jetty+HSQL xwiki install
by Vincent Massol 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Hi, I've just tried Jeremi's packaging (http://www.xwiki.org/releases/xwiki/xwiki-package-jetty-0-9-840.zip) Well done! This is great and make it very simple to try out XWiki. It's very cool :-) Some small comments: 1/ Remove xwiki.log that should not be there before starting xwiki 2/ What's the difference between ext, lib and extra/lib? 3/ There are licenses in both etc/ and license/ directories. Maybe they could be regrouped together? 4/ In webapps/ there's a index.html~ file that should be deleted 5/ It didn't work when I executed start.bat (see attached log). I had to manually create the logs/ directory. 6/ http://localhost:8080/xwiki/ points to a page with a link to the wiki. It should point directly to the wiki. Actually http://localhost:8080 should point to the wiki IMO. Again those are all very minor. This is a great install. -Vincent

XML/RPC, renderContent does not return valid HTML
by Jaroslav Pšenička 26 Jul '05

26 Jul '05

Hi all, just working with XML/RPC interface, namely the renderContent(String token, String spaceKey, String pageId, String content) method. The documentation (on confluence site) says: "If 'content' is provided, then that is rendered as if it were the body of the page (useful for a 'preview page' function)". I expect the method returns valid and complete HTML code as is returned during "preview" of wiki pages. Is this expectation correct? Unfortunatelly, the code returned does not seem to be complete and valid HTML, there are <html> and other formal elements missing (this is a minor problem). The major problem is, that the code does not refer to any stylesheet; the page is rendered in "default" style, where tables has no borders etc. Any hints? Thanks, ~sp

Ergonomics !
by Ludovic Dubost 25 Jul '05

25 Jul '05

Hi, Thierry Grandsart is an intern working on ergonomics for XWiki. He has been working on studying the different wikis and making some recommandations on the XWiki interface. We'd like to include you in giving us feedback about his proposals and particpating in the discussion around them. He has started publishing a first sketch of a new interface proposal for XWiki at http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/Ergonomics Other proposals will follow and will be put up to discussion.. Don't hesitate to comment on the XWiki document or in the JIRA task at http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-109 Ludovic -- Ludovic Dubost XPertNet: http://www.xpertnet.fr/ Blog: http://www.ludovic.org/blog/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost AIM: nvludo Yahoo: ludovic

Re: UTF-8 characters (again)

Whether use of non-English _names_ of documents is possible? I have made all that is written in http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/CharactersSets But Russian names of documents displays incorrectly. On zh.objectweb.org too. From a code I have understood, it of that request.getPathInfo and getParametr (for parameters in uri) are not decoded in utf. It so, or I have incorrectly setup xwiki? (or it is servlet api bug?) I set SetCharacterEncodingFilter off by add ignore=false and rewrite XWikiServletRequest.get, getPathInfo, getParameter to decode from ISO-8859-1 tо UTF-8 Names now working fine, but i found next problem: when i click on new,unedited link [newlink], open edit form. In this form field "Parent" fills not decoded. PrepareEditForm.setParent called 2 times, first call is decoded (from PrepareEditForm.reset), second - not decoded (from beenutils). Main questions: 1 That second PrepareEditForm.setParent call for? 2 Why it is not decoded? 3 How i may decode it? Now i`m decode in setParent. This is bad idea, but works..

Re: [soc-students] Xwiki Architecture figure
by Ludovic Dubost 18 Jul '05

Right.. It's a good time to regenerate some API docs.. I'll try to make a pass this week on documenting a little the API and then regenerate some documentations.. Actually you should post this to xwiki-dev as it is of interest to the whole developer community and not only the Summer of Code students.. Anybody knows good documentation tools besides javadoc to show an API..

Re: [xwiki-users] Creating users as a batch
by tcorbet 18 Jul '05

Well, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that I just burrowed ahead and did manage to [files attached]: a. Add b. Retrieve c. Delete a Page via the implementation that is available in the most-current release of XWiki. The bad news is: a. The delete function was not, in fact completely engineered/tested, but the work-around was trivial, so I just fixed it in my local version. b. The methods that are designed for solving your problem, however: i. getUser, ii. addUser, iii. addGroup, iv. getUserGroups, v. addUserToGroup have not yet been coded. So, in order to have the benefits of an xmlrpc-based implementation, you'll need to get the development team to complete the Confluence emulation code. Since they already have a zillion items in their backlog, you might find a quicker solution by pulling the pieces out of Mr. Lauriere's 'extended profiles', and using that as the basis for your import. Terry P.S. I'm still very willing to go the 'extra mile' to build the attached into a capability for you [and others], but grepping through the code to discover how the API handles the necessary Hibernate mapping to the XWiki-proprietary database schema is not exactly the way my granddaughter expects me to entertain her during the dog days of her summer vacation. You might spend some time looking at what the implementation of 'Add User', 'Add Group' and 'Add User To Group' functionality appears to be, and maybe it will prove to be just a few hours of code and test to insert those method invocations into the corresponding methods of com.xpn.xwiki.xmlrpc.ConfluenceRpcHandler. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Dlug" <paul.dlug(a)gmail.com> To: "tcorbet" <tcorbet(a)ix.netcom.com> Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2005 11:15 Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Creating users as a batch I'm not particularly in a rush, I'm actually on vacation this week.
