Re: [xwiki-devs] [Discussion] Merge Annotations with Comments

Hi devs, Based on the work done by Anca and Sorin doring the XWiki 2011 Seminar Hackaton, I`ve made the following pull request [1] to integrate their work with minor changes. A summary of the changes contained by the pull request are described in the jira issue [2]. The problem at the current stage, as Jerome also hinted, is that we need to do a migration script to make the existing annotations (in an upgrade scenario) use the XWikiComments class instead so that they can be picked up by commentsinline.vm. However, this might lose the possibility to provide custom annotations. An alternative would be to make commentsinline.vm use the annotation service and handle and retrieve both Annotation and XWikiComment objects. This way, the current annotations should need no migration script since they are using a class configured in the AnnotationConfig page that the annotation service knows how to handle. WDYT?

Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/pull/34 [2] http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7540 _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
