Cannot we instead morph the current xwiki.org? I'd prefer this over a migration since otherwise it's a bit painful and would require scripts to copy pages and there'll be a merge need. I did this the first time and it took me a lot of time. We could prepare pages in the draft zone and move them when they're ready for example. +1 > > Thanks > -Vincent > >> >> * Add the horizontal navigation to the new website >> >> * Implement the projects carousel for the homepage >> >> * Implement the panels for "Latest Releases", "Latest Extensions". >> "Latest News"(should display the latest 5 releases, extensions, news) >> >> >> >> Documentation/Projects >> >> * Implement the left navigation for documentation/projects >> >> * Implement the panel for the "Latest Documentation Updates" (should >> display the last 5 documents and their authors) >> >> >> >> Community page widgets and panels: >> >> * Implement the"Development Status" panel, if it's going to have dynamic >> content >> >> * Implement the "Top Committers" panel (show the committer's picture and >> number of commits) >> >> * Implement the "Latest Commits" section (should display an image of the >> committer, what (s)he commited, the name of the committer and the date >> the commit was made) >> >> * Implement the "Latest Issues" section (should have the latest Jira >> issues, the person who took an action with regard to the issue - e.g. >> create, close - and the time the action was taken) >> >> * Implement the "Latest Discussion" section (display the list, the topic >> discussed, the name of the person that added the latest reply and the >> time he added the answer) >> >> * Implement the "Latest Documentation" section (show the number of lines >> added/deleted, the name of the document, the author of the modification >> and the time (s)he made the changes) >> >> * Implement "Latest Extensions" section (display the extension name, the >> name of the person that added the extension, the time it was added and a >> short description) >> >> >> You may read what has already been discussed about the redesign on this >> page >> http://markmail.org/message/tfmrludhw2yh5tcn#query:+page:1+mid:h5bukrijteeu… >> See the latest redesign proposal here >> http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2 >> >> Thanks, >> Silvia > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > devs(a)xwiki.org > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs > -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-users] Implementing the XWiki.org Redesign
by Silvia Rusu 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Hi XWiki devs & users, So far we've been talking a lot about redesigning XWiki.org and all feedback was greatly appreciated. Now it's time we started implementing the redesign Caty was so kind to come up with based on our suggestions. Like the proposal stage this too will be a collaborative effort and we hope you'll join in building an even better site for XWiki.org. The following is a list of things that need to be implemented in order to get us started. It would be great if you'd volunteer for the implementation of the tasks at hand. Please add your name next to the issue you'd like to assign yourself too. Also feel free to add as many other issues you think should appear on the list and to volunteer for those issues as well. Here is the first list of tasks: * Set up the server for the new website (Alex? :) ) * Add the horizontal navigation to the new website * Implement the projects carousel for the homepage * Implement the panels for "Latest Releases", "Latest Extensions". "Latest News"(should display the latest 5 releases, extensions, news) Documentation/Projects * Implement the left navigation for documentation/projects * Implement the panel for the "Latest Documentation Updates" (should display the last 5 documents and their authors) Community page widgets and panels: * Implement the"Development Status" panel, if it's going to have dynamic content * Implement the "Top Committers" panel (show the committer's picture and number of commits) * Implement the "Latest Commits" section (should display an image of the committer, what (s)he commited, the name of the committer and the date the commit was made) * Implement the "Latest Issues" section (should have the latest Jira issues, the person who took an action with regard to the issue - e.g. create, close - and the time the action was taken) * Implement the "Latest Discussion" section (display the list, the topic discussed, the name of the person that added the latest reply and the time he added the answer) * Implement the "Latest Documentation" section (show the number of lines added/deleted, the name of the document, the author of the modification and the time (s)he made the changes) * Implement "Latest Extensions" section (display the extension name, the name of the person that added the extension, the time it was added and a short description) You may read what has already been discussed about the redesign on this page http://markmail.org/message/tfmrludhw2yh5tcn#query:+page:1+mid:h5bukrijteeu… See the latest redesign proposal here http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Improvements/XWikiOrgProposal2 Thanks, Silvia

[xwiki-users] XWord images are not stored in backend
by Martin Bantz 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

When creating documents from XWord, the images are not stored in the backend for some reason. I have an image: Code from Firefox: <img src="/xwiki/bin/download/Sandbox/Testing%20page%20X/image001.jpg" width="211" height="113" alt="mbz-default.jpg"/> and the attachment mbz-default.jpg is not to be found in Mysql in XWA_filename: -------- MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows). (Query took 0.0011 sec) SQL query: SELECT * FROM `xwikiattachment` WHERE xwa_filename LIKE 'mbz%' LIMIT 0 , 30 -------- It seems like it is not being stored. I have tried to create the XWord document as Admin and as ordinary user, thanks, Martin

[xwiki-users] Xword only handle very small amounts of text
by Martin Bantz 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Hi all, A new install works as expected in Linux, and Xword from a Windows 2003 server can attach fine to the server and retrieve even large documents and images. In XWord, when publishing documents with images or just some 10-20 lines of text I get the error described below in MS eventlog - and a message 'There was an error when trying to save the page to the server'. Need to exit Word and restart. Small (very small) edits to text are saved fine from XWord. Installation is Xwiki 2.2.4 - Xword 1.1.0.121 - Tomcat 6.0.26 - MySQL 5.1.42 - OpenOffice 3.2 Would also like to try out the OpenOffice integration - but can't seem to find it. I have been trying to add images from Xword, but this has never worked, assume these issues are related, any help greatly appreciated, cheers, MBantz --------------Error message details: Windows 2003 server UK.

[xwiki-users] FoxWiki & "Edit attachments" feature
by Colesnicov Eugen 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Hi developers! According discussion about this FoxWiki & "Edit attachments" feature at XWiki-Dev subforum. I want to write my opinion for developers. Current situation: - In IE this feature working good without any additional jobs (I tested 2.2.4). - In FF - need to use FoxWiki extension (download manualy xpi-file, and edit max-version property). - In Chrome - "Edit attachments" - doesn't work. I have proposal about using this feature in FF. FoxWiki working, but I don't like that users MANUALY everytime should add file extention and application path in FoxWiki. From other side, exists some other extentions for FF (for example http://openwebfolder.mozdev.org/) As I understand, this extention adds to FF functionality of windows WebFolder WebDAV client - same as IE. But now, I cannot use (or try) this extention with XWiki, because XWiki programming code obviously use ONLY FoxWiki at FF. As I understand, If we will try to use openwebfolder extention - no any special code needs for XWiki - programming code can be same as a IE part. Other collaborative suits software also use openwebfolder extention for FF (see for example http://help.collab.net/index.jsp?topic=/teamforge530/action/connecttowebdav…) For this reason, alternative proposal: no use any special extention for WebDav - use standart openwebfolder extention (this extention is better because not need to manualy add file extentions and application paths). According this - need to change XWiki programming code for WebDav using in Firefox. I am not a specialist with XWiki programming, for this reason - sorry, if I write something stupid ... What do you think about my variant? -- Best Regards Eugen Colesnicov -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/FoxWiki-Edit-attachments-feature-tp4906288p4906288.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] getURL returns full URL with 'http://' prefix on a virtual site
by Colesnicov Eugen 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

When I address XWiki on a virtual site from outside the local net, the function getURL returns a full string prefixed with 'http://'. If I work from the local net with its true URL (http://server:8080/xwiki) this function returns short URL beginning with '/xwiki/'. As a result of this, the standard space control HTML code on the main page is generated invalidly as velocity tries to convert textual URLs to links. The same situation exists on several XWiki pages, e.g., Blog. I studied the page source (/xwiki/bin/edit/Main/Spaces?&editor=wiki) and found the following: ##... {{html wiki="true"}} ##... <div class="spSpaceName">[[${space}>>${space}.WebHome]]</div> <div class="xshowonhover spSpaceActions"> ## Link to the space index. $xwiki.getURL('Main.SpaceIndex', 'view', $xwiki.getSkinFile('icons/silk/book_open.gif') The first link is programmed with [[ ... ]], but the second link is programmed directly as . In the second link, the getURL() producing 'http://' prefixed result blows the HTML code out. The remedy was simple: {{html wiki="false"}} and replace [[ ... ]] by . But this exists on a lot of XWiki pages and should be corrected everywhere. Why the getURL() gives different results depending on the way to access the site? Is there a configuration parameter or any other method to correct this. On the xwiki.org site, the getURL obviously gives the necessary URL beginning with '/xwiki'. The problem exists on different XWiki versions (2.0 and later) on fresh installations. May be I should announce this as an error in XWiki sources to be corrected? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/getURL-returns-full-URL-with-http-prefix-on-a-virtual-… Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-users] TWiki Syntax HTML
by Meng Wu 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Hey all, The TWiki syntax doesn't seem to fully support HTML elements like <pre>, <u>, <nop>, and links (they aren't rendered at all or rendered incorrectly). However, basic syntax minus these tags such as <verbatim>, bullets, etc, work. Enabling these HTML elements is essential because we are migrating documents from the twiki and need them to be rendered correctly. We've added twiki 1.0 to the xwiki.cfg file and selected the syntax in the edit UI, but I read on the mailing list that the syntaxes aren't entirely implemented yet. So are html elements simply not supported yet, and if not, what do I need to do to enable them? Thanks, Felix

[xwiki-users] Quoting in macro calls
by stefan bachert 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

Hi, I tried to call a macro passing a text which contains both, single and double qoutes {{macro para='this is "Developer's Guide" in german' /}} {{macro para="this is "Developer's Guide" in german" /}} Both way fails because either quote or apostroph needs to be escaped. I tried usual technics - doubling: failed - escaping with \ : failed - escaping with \\ : failed strange. introduced a line break? What is the right way to escape character?

Re: [xwiki-users] Creating class properties with groovy

I have scripts that create objects from a spreadsheet specifically for a certain class in this space. Rather than duplicating the class by hand on the next space I want these scripts/objects on, I'd like to be able to quickly and safely duplicate the class, so I wanted to write a quick groovy script to do it.
