[xwiki-users] Annotations
by Michael Bußler 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hi there, I observed the Annotation-code in XWiki is having problems with the general approach of having a document-class rendered by a class-specific sheet. E.g. the highlighting of text passages isn't rendering properly. Is this a general limitation or am I doing something wrong with the classes' sheet? It's more or less a listing of textfields fed by class properties. Best, Michael

[xwiki-users] Components, context and subwikis
by Jeremie BOUSQUET 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hello, I have some java components (@Singleton) that depend on old core. It is bad, and I'm trying to move away from it, but I'll keep at least one component like this - my own bridge. I have this in initialize() of these components: ExecutionContext context = execution.getContext(); this.context = (XWikiContext) context.getProperty("xwikicontext"); this.xwiki = this.context.getWiki(); I realize that this worked well in the context of a mono-wiki, but in a subwiki I wonder if it causes issues. Here, ExecutionContext relates to the request (user action) at initialize() time, so I suppose it's a sort of default execution context, related to main wiki, right ? So for example when xwiki.getDocument() is called, it looks after a document in the main wiki - not in the (sub)wiki from which the component method was called, right ? Should I just call initialize() at the beginning of every method that needs a correct context, in order to get a "fresh" execution context related to correct wiki ? Or should I pass the context from the script service, adding it as parameter to all needed methods in my component ? Thanks, Jeremie

BTW did you check the comments at http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/XWiki+Publication+Work… ? Note that this extension is NOT developed by the XWiki dev team, it’s done by some individual and is in no way supported by the XWiki dev team. Also note that you don’t need this extension at all to implement a simple workflow in XWiki. It can be done easily with the notion of XClass/XObjects natively but you’d need to spend 1-2 days to understand these concepts. Actually these concepts are the main reason people use XWiki and they allow you to go so much further than any other wiki can go. If you’re serious and want to build something for the long run, I highly recommend that you spend 2-3 days to get familiar with XWiki before making an impacting change for your company. Some tutorials on XClass/XObjects: - http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/DataModel - http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial Generally speaking you’ll find technical resources here: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WebHome > Maybe you're right, i didn't wait much, but i spend much time trying to make it work and i didn't even understand the concept of this extension, so maybe it's not well documented, in 1 days i get MediaWIKI with the extension work properly, but i spend 3 days on XWIKI without any result, so maybe one another reason is documentation :) Yes that’s a good point. We always need to improve documentation. In this case however, it’s beyond our control since this is an extension contributed by some individual and is in no way managed by the XWiki dev team. What could help would be to have a Workflow extension developed/supported by the XWiki dev team. If enough people request this, this could be considered indeed. BTW most people switch from Mediawiki to XWiki because they’re quickly limited by Mediawiki on the “enterprise” aspects: fine-grained permissions, flat page hierarchy, LDAP integration, Office integration, etc. Thanks -Vincent > 2014-05-13 9:18 GMT+01:00 [email protected](mailto:[email protected]) : > > > > On 12 May 2014 at 23:59:35, walid yaich ([email protected](mailto:[email protected])(mailto:[email protected])) wrote: > > > > > Hi everybody, > > > > > > The reason is that we need a simple workflow in the wiki, the extension XWiki > > > Publication Workflow Application not working. > > > > hmm that doesn’t seem a good reason to switch IMO… :) > > > > You’re going to spend 10 times more time writing a migrator than you would to make the Workflow Application work. AFAICS you’ve just posted an email about the Workflow issue only a few minutes/hours ago and you’re not even waiting for the response before deciding to migrate, that doesn’t look serious to me… > > > > Thanks > > -Vincent > > > > > Well, actually i need to move from XWIKI to MediaWIKI, but the most > > > difficult problem is the migration > > > > > > Would you please give me any clue about the easiest way to migrate the > > > whole content from XWIKI to MediaWIKI > > > > > > Thanks in advance :) >
