[xwiki-users] [Idea] "Modern" skin for "modern" browsers
by Ecaterina Valica 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi, When the CSS3 fever began, Raluca Stavro came to me and asked me what I think about making a HTML5+CSS3 skin. My first answer was that is not gonna happen. We invest very much in making our skins have cross-browser support (especially old versions of IE). This is one of our strengths, but also the reason we limit ourselves from innovation. When I'm talking about a "modern" skin I'm not only referring about HTML, JS, CSS (having transparency, corners, multiple backgrounds, shadows without having to triple the code and the number of hacks), but it's about all cool/experimentation features, that boosts productivity, minimize code lines, etc. but lack all/old browser support (SVG, location awareness, CSS3 calc etc). So, in my opinion this would be an experimentation/shiny skin that by comparison would make old browsers supporters and lovers to quit their old behaviors and embrace the future :) :p So, the questions I have are: 1) would this be possible? would anyone want to do this sort of thing? I know the biggest problem is gonna be the maintenance, but could bring lots of innovation and productivity. 2) what feature/improvement/thing do you think it would be the most needed for a new "modern" "skin" (the topic somehow go beyond the skin boundaries)? Thanks, Caty

For lot of cases (that is at least everything that includes JS, and maybe more) we should be able to add such new features on top of the existing UI, i.e. without the need to create a dedicated skin. Take for example attachment Drag & Drop in the attachment footer tab. We just detect the feature and offer it if supported (do nothing if not). > > 2) what feature/improvement/thing do you think it would be the most > needed > for a new "modern" "skin" (the topic somehow go beyond the skin > boundaries)? Right now I think of - attachments D&D - upload with progress bar - growl-like client notifications (w/ WebSocket) - local drafts (with localStorage) - a profile picture sizing/cropping tool using canvas - ... I'm sure a lot more :) Jerome. > > Thanks, > Caty > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > devs(a)xwiki.org > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs

[xwiki-users] Gliffy and XWiki Integration
by Abel Solórzano Astorga 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi, Is there a way to integrate Gliffy and XWiki? I am looking something similar to the Balsamiq Mockups for Xwiki. I read this new feature request http://jira.gliffy.com/browse/GLIFFY-566 on the JIRA Gliffy site. The request is a "Gliffy Plugin for XWiki/Velocity". On the comments of the new feature request the Gliffy people said they are going to "follow up with Jerome to see what the best next steps are". Thanks, Abel

[xwiki-users] Fix Header Logo URL to a specific space
by Ramon Gomes Brandão - SERINT 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

Hi XWiki'ers friends, I've implemented this great wiki engine on my enterprise, and lots of questions appeared. One at a time in different emails: I've made a new Skin and changed the Logo successfully, but I don't know how to set the relative URL of it, in a way that, regardless the space a user is (Panels, Sandbox, MyDepartmentSpace etc), it points to the xwiki/bin/view/Main space (or other than thatt). I've noticed that it points to the WbHome of the space the user is actually, not the "start-of-everything" page - which I want. I want it static to a specific space. How can I change this?
