[xwiki-users] Jira Scripting API
by wolfgang.theissen＠online.de 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Hi, I’m trying to use the Searchjql function to read data from our Jira server via the scripting api. The Jira api allows to read any existing field, but I don’t understand how this can be done via the scripting api. The second question I have is how to make a Json file out the answer which can be fed into a livetable. There is also one issue I have. We have set up access to our jira server by password protected accounts only. If you have a pssword which contains a “$“ the api fails. Any help is welcome. Thanks, Wolfgang

by Vincent Massol 23 Jan '17

Hi Markdown lovers, Just wanted to announce that I’ve completely written XWiki support for the Markdown syntax (using flexmark-java instead of pegdown). It’s available as the “markdown/1.2” syntax inside of XWiki. See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Markdown+Syntax+1.2 for details. Please try it out and let me know how it goes. If you find bugs please report them at http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/MARKDOWN Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-users] strip accents from page name used in url
by Miroslav Galajda 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Hi, I’m using XWiki in Slovak language which uses accents, which consequently causes problems with urls. The urls becomes ugly containing encoded characters with accents. Does XWiki have integration point out of the box to replace the page name with custom one, with stripped accents from it? Thank you Mirec

by WikiNote Org 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

I want to implement Carousel slider just as the one on xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Carousel/Slider But I dont know how to do it. I tried Totem extension. Its good but has 1 problem. In its Carousel implementation, Totem uses only images attached and doesnt show the description. Is their any other way around? I want the slider exactly as on xwiki.org Perhaps, it should be well documented as it is the most important component for Home pages. Thank you in advance

Hi, I would like to calculate the age of a person in years I have the date of birth stored in a XWiki class-object in a property of type Date/Time The age should be calculated against NOW! (Sysdate in local-user time, although the rounding in years does not make this a very important requirement. Also I would like to be able to calculate a duration by subtracting two dates stored in a XWiki class-object in a property of type Date/Time Please a velocity-based guidance how to do this?

[xwiki-users] File Management Extension
by Paul Pinkerton (ACLCO) 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

I am interested in creating an easy to navigate document library. I was thinking of using the File Manager Extension (as this is what it's built for) - but the documentation is light on some specifics. -I am wondering if I can copy this to a new space (currently xwiki/bin/view/FileManager) and run multiple file libraries on the site, each with their own permissions (space based)? When I copy the FileManager space to a new space, I get the warning that I need to migrate to the new structure. Will this affect anything other than the specific space it is in? -Also wondering if I can add a metadata field somehow? One of the things I liked about using a file library in SP is the ability to list additional fields (ie. notes about why the file is important, contents, etc...) in the grid. Is this easy to do?

[xwiki-users] Inline blog with teaser in a page
by Canny 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

Hi, I want to embed a teasered version of the blog into a page on my XWiki as it is done on https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/News On my page a used the same include as on xwiki.org but the blog entries are not displayed. Just get the "xe.blog.code.notblog" message. I used the default blog application (nothing special). Is any special handling/configuration required to get the teasered inline blog? {{velocity}} {{include document="Blog.BlogSheet"/}} {{/velocity}} Thanks for your help.

[xwiki-users] Possible optimisations for xwiki/xwiki-mysql-tomcat docker image
by Denis GERMAIN 20 Jan '17

20 Jan '17

Hi list, Vincent Massol has asked for code review after official docker image annoncement and though I am no Docker expert, I have found a few leads to reduce image size and might have some suggestions to improve it. With 3 little changes I have gained about 500 MB, but I still have to make sure everything still works. - 200 of those MB where gained by a commonly used trick : adding "--no-install-recommends" option to apt-get. Some packages that are commonly installed with libreoffice might have been skipped and I still have to determine if it's OK or not. - The other 300 MB are safe. Most of it comes from "RUN chown -R tomcat8:tomcat8 /var/lib/tomcat8" being moved inside the same layer as the curl xwiki.war && unzip. docker images REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE xwiki-mysql-tomcat after b05844c94dd0 7 seconds ago 1.157 GB xwiki-mysql-tomcat before 174d549368d5 2 hours ago 1.689 GB As soon as I have checked this works, I'll do a pull request. In the meantime, code is online on https://github.com/zwindler/docker-xwiki-1/tree/clear_apt Regards Denis GERMAIN
