Hi De Sheng (that’s your first name right?),
Yea it is :) vmassol wrote
Yes that’s one use case to implement indeed. The other use case is to provide a UI to allow to manually run the RedPen validation checks on one or several documents.
Ok I'll design a UI for this after I get around to the event listener vmassol wrote
Ok. You could use a ConfigurableClass (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Administration%20Applic...) to provide an Admin UI to configure what checks to execute on doc save. On the other UI (the manual one described above) it would probaby be better to let the user decide the checks to execute.
Ok I'll look into Configurable Classes for this. Thanks for the advice! vmassol wrote
With that in mind, I think I should request a repository on xwiki-contrib, since I already have some starting code available locally. May I know what are the required steps I need to achieve that?
Yes, you should do that ASAP and commit stuff so that we can start reviewing/helping out, see http://contrib.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome#HRequestingaproject
Next, I understand that there are three ways that one can write an event listener, either using an XWiki Component in a jar, a Wiki Component or using Groovy. I am currently considering using Groovy to create the Event Listener directly within a wiki page. Any thoughts on that?
Yes, it’s better to do it in Java since otherwise it would require the user to have Programming Rights and it’ll make the integration more fragile. So you'll need at least 3 maven modules (one that generates the script service and contains the Listener), another one that generates the XAR (the UI) and yet another one for the functional tests. You can check other contrib project and importantly you should read http://contrib.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome.
A good example is https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-blog.
Ok, I think I'll move this discussion to a new thread which will officially request a repository. Thanks for the help! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/GSOC-Update-2-RedPen-Integration-tp7604136... Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
