[xwiki-users] Calling a plugin at the moment the page is saved passing the new values as parameters
by Tiago Rinck Caveden 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Hello! I'd like to be able to call a plugin right after the user saves a page. This would be necessary to pass the new values of the object hold on that page for the plugin, so that the changes of my XWiki objects could echo to my plugin (that's because the plugin keeps a database that I want to edit via XWiki pages). I tried something like #if($context.action=="save") but it didn't work, I guess the page is never actually "rendered" in that action, right? So, anyone has any idea of how could I implement this? Thanks, -- Tiago Rinck Caveden http://caveden.multiply.com

[xwiki-users] Scheduler... $context.get('error')
by Joe 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Getting $context.get('error') whenever I try schedule or unschedule a task in 1.4.1 This has been working perfectly... and we've come to rely on it somewhat. Something that is required on tomcat config or something to enable?

Yes Joe, I am seeing the same problems. They started when I upgraded to v1.4. It's a very serious problem for my users, almost all of whom use the WYSIWYG editor instead of the wiki editor.

[xwiki-users] wysiwyg editor on 1.4.1
by Joe 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Been having some strange results with the editor, mostly raised by my users (who're more used to the previous version of wysiwyg).. problems tend to range from the following (bear in mind that the users involved are using mainly the xwiki blog pages, updated to the correct version via the xar): -- Lost chunks of text - usually related to the indent/bullet-point feature. This is the most pressing issue.. -- "Strange" behavior of text - it puts a text box around random texts in the edit page; making it hard to "group select" chunks of text -- Loss of indentation, if indentation is used on paragraphs these are lost when saving. It should be noted they are still there when you copy-paste the text from the view layout. -- Similar to indentation, loss of spacing - put 4 spaces before the first word of a line, and it will render as 4 spaces when you save the first time. However, go to the edit view and the spaces before the first word are removed in the edit window, and if you save again spaces are removed from the view as well permanently thereafter -- "Strange" behavior of the bullet points - if you don't have a blank bullet at the end of a block of bullet points, the last one is usually removed. Has anyone else had these issues, or perhaps have I got an odd setup? From what I can see, this is affecting mainly documents created prior to upgrading, however that's probably down to those being the documents users have used so far.

[xwiki-users] Breadcrump Trail
by Stefan Völkel 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Hi List, if I understand correctly the current breadcrumb implementation shows the hierarchy of a page, eg: with the following pages Foo.Parent Foo.Child I'd get a trail on Foo.Child like this: Foo: ParentF > ChildF This is static information defined by the parent property of a page. Is there a breadcrumb application that displays the way a user took through our wiki? Let's say we have Bar.LinkToChild Which links to Foo.Child. I'd like to have something similar to the current breadcrumb trail that would display: Bar: LinktToChild > Foo.ChildF I know that people could use the back button to navigate back, but I belief this would be a valuable extension to xwiki. Regards Stefan

[xwiki-users] Attach properties to page
by Stefan Völkel 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

Hi List, I'd like to attach a couple of properties to a page, namely Roles and Status Information. Both are part of a workflow description, while Roles will be something like Owner, Reviewer, Contributor, ... Status Information will most likely be WIP, NeedReview, etc. Is there an application already available doing this? If not are there any plans on implementing something like this? And again if not can someone please give me some pointers on how to implement something like this. Thanks in advance, Stefan

[xwiki-users] bibsonomy hack for XWiki
by Yishay Mor 18 Jun '08

18 Jun '08

I've created a quick hack for integrating XWiki and bibsonomy. It allows you to display publications on an XWiki page based on their tag in bibsonomy, and also to discuss individual entries. You can see a demo here: http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/scripts/BibsonomyD… and the code here: http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/scripts/Bibsonomy?… Its a very crude piece of code, I needed something for a project ASAP, and didn't have the time to do a decent job. But it works, and its a good proof of concept. If anyone is up to writing a cleaner, more efficient version - please do, and share. Also, what would be the best way to share this with the XWiki and Bibsonomy commuities? cheers, - Yishay -- ___________________________ Yishay Mor, Researcher, London Knowledge Lab http://www.lkl.ac.uk/people/mor.html http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=yishaym%40gmail.com +44-20-78378888 x5737

I don't understand. You speak about java code ? Before writing any code you should start create a jira issue on http://jira.xwiki.org explaining what is the problem, how to reproduce it. After that if you can propose a way to fix it or even attach a patch, it's even better ;) > > > > > Philip Wright > > Reports Analyst > > ACS: BPS > > > > Office: 503-907-1501 ext 3714 > > Cell: 503-891-4920 > > Philip.wright(a)acs-inc.com > > > > > > > > > > Affiliated Computer Services, Inc > > > > Affiliated Computer Services, Inc (ACS) Proprietary and Confidential > Information This document (or any part thereof) may not be > disseminated outside of ACS in either electronic or physical form > without specific authorization of the office of the ACS Chief > Information Security Officer.
