Hi, XWiki team, It seems to me that upgrading the XWiki version on XWiki farm is very hard to do since it is not done for quite some time. Is this an indicator that maintaining an XWiki server with live sites is not easy? Is there a path for site managers to move up to the next version XWiki? Or, is there a way for users to get to the new version or get around the problems of the old version? Not everyday everyone is starting from a clean new version, everyone has to face the upgrading time. If XWiki farm sites have to stay in old, old version, I guess moving up is really difficult. It does not look good to potential new users. Thanks for thinking about this issue. Wei-hsing

XWiki users in Wikimania 2007?

by wangwh＠att.net

Hi, XWiki users, Are you going to Taipei for Wikimania 2007? (http://wikimania2007.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) Would you be interested in a meet-up? Please contact me if you plan to go. I grew up in Taipei and know the software industry. It would be nice to have a XWiki user gathering. Wei-hsing ps. Those who contacted me before, please do so again to confirm you are still going.

XWikiMessageTool refactoring

by Sergiu Dumitriu

Hi, I looked today over the XWikiMessageTool class, and I must say that I'm not quite satisfied with it. First, there was XWIKI-919, which I implemented. OK, I understand that files stored on disk should be charset independent, so only ASCII characters are supported by the ResourceBundle class (jvm) .But, when I can edit a wiki document for storing bundles, I expect it to accept all the characters the wiki supports (in my case, it was an UTF8 instance). I had some troubles fixing this, since the JavaDoc says that bundles accepts only ASCII characters, but it understands and parses unicode references ( \u0123 ). Maybe I did something wrong, but doing content.replaceAll("\u0139", "\\u0139") resulted in the string u0139 being displayed in the page. So I had to trick it into believing that the component bytes of the encoding are ASCII characters and manually restore the multibyte chars. Second, I don't like the fact that XWIKI-921 was not already implemented. Third, I don't like the cache refresh mechanism. It retrieves the XWikiProperties->documentBundles property for each request, and It retrieves the bundle documents for every request and checks if it must be refreshed or not. Why isn't the com.xpn.xwiki.notify package used? It allows registering callback handlers for specific document changes. How I see it: - at startup, register a handler for XWiki.XWikiPreferences (so that we know when the documentBundles property might change). - remember the list of document bundles, don't ask it for each request - also register handlers for the current bundle documents and load the strings from these documents - when XWikiPreferences is changed, if the documentBundle property is also changed, remove the unused bundles and build the new ones - when a undle document (or a translation for it) is changed, rebuild the bundle for that document This should speedup the code a bit, it makes use of a nice, but mostly unknown feature, it doesn't log an error for each request when a specified document is not found in the wiki, and it doesn't require so many variables (previousDates, docsToRefresh). Fourth, as I said above, if a document is specified in the documentBundles property, but it does not exist in the wiki, for each $msg.get call an error is logged. And there are a lot of calls for each request. Now, in my opinion this is a nice way to get in the core of XWiki for a newcomer, so does anybody want to write the changes I mentioned? Also, this is a good occasion to document the event notification mechanism, in JavaDoc and on www.xwiki.org Regards, Sergiu Dumitriu -- http://purl.org/net/sergiu

Backlinks in administration/editing mode

by Karin Wiklund

Hi, First; thanks to everyone who helped me make more blogs in my xwiki, it works beautifully! (though it's not the most beautiful code ever written...) Second; As far as I can tell there are no links from anywhere in the administration or editing modes to get back to the rest of the wiki. (there are save and cancel options, but that's not the same thing as 'Back') Have I missed something? If not; any hints on how and where to add such links? For usability purposes- to make life easier for the future admins of the xwiki I'm setting up... Thanks, Karin

email-address as userid

by hanspeter.klapf＠mag.linz.at

For a private wiki (with different companies involved), the use of email-addresses as userid would be great. Is there a possibility to achieve this? Thanks, Hanspeter

Howto set Parent Value with drop down list (resolved)

by pbasnews-tmp＠yahoo.fr

Hi, I was looking for a way to set Parent Value with drop down list when user edit a page... I found this solution: I modify the forms "Panels: DocumentInformation" (/xwiki/bin/inline/Panels/DocumentInformation) like this: I replace lines: **************** <input type="text" id="xwikidocparentinput2" name="parent" value="$!tdoc.parent" size="30"/> **************** by **************** <select name="parent" class="panelselect"> <option value="$!tdoc.parent" selected="selected">$!tdoc.parent</option> <option value="">-Empty \*-</option> #foreach($subdoc in $xwiki.getSpaceDocsName("$doc.web")) <option value="$subdoc">$subdoc</option> #end </select> **************** The forms contain: **************** #set($pages = $tdoc.includedPages) #largepanelheader("XWiki document information") <dl><dt><label for="xwikidocparentinput2">$msg.get("parentfield"):</label></dt> <dd> <select name="parent" class="panelselect"> <option value="$!tdoc.parent" selected="selected">$!tdoc.parent</option> <option value="">-Vide \*-</option> #foreach($subdoc in $xwiki.getSpaceDocsName("$doc.web")) <option value="$subdoc">$subdoc</option> #end </select></dd> #if($pages.size() != 0) #if($pages.size() == 1) <dt>$xwiki.parseMessage("editincludepagemsgone"):</dt> #else <dt>$xwiki.parseMessage("editincludepagemsgmore"):</dt> #end <dd> <table summary="$msg.get("includeddocumentssummary")" id="xwikiincludeddocuments"> <tbody> #foreach ($page in $pages) <tr><td><a href="$xwiki.getURL($page, "view")">$page</a></td> <td class="xwikibuttonlink"><a href="$xwiki.getURL($page, "edit")">$msg.get("edit")</a></td></tr> #end </tbody> </table></dd> #end </dl> #template("tagedit.vm") #panelfooter()

In that case, U will lose performance with a big wiki with thousands and thousands and thousands Pages I think the better is to propose both solution: -auto-suggest Pages in CurrentSpace -and a popup windows with "..." button display all Wikis Pages But Your the Boss ;-) > >> 2) Have a button "..." that opens the exact same > >> Link popup window as > >> in the WYSIWYG editor for selecting a page > > Excellent choice.
