[xwiki-users] How do I for divide one string I need only the part of the user name (Admin) instead of XWiki.Admin
I recovered the value from $context.user Thanks -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/How-do-I-for-divide-one-string-I-need-only... Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
There are various ways with different levels of code cleanliness since all user names start off with 'XWiki.' you could use $context.getUser().substring(6) If you're looking for the user's "common name" instead of the user name, you might want to look at $xwiki.getUserName http://maven.xwiki.org/site/xwiki-core-parent/xwiki-core/apidocs/com/xpn/xwi...

Please, as $context is a class and getUser() is a method of that class, what is .substring()? Let's call *name* to the answer to the previous question. Please, where are the possible *name* that could be used with a given method of a given class? I'm browsing XWiki API looking for a way of doing the same you have proposed with .getUser() but with the name of a document. That is, how to get Document instead Space.Document. For instance, here... #set($results=$xwiki.searchDocuments($query)) #foreach($item in $results) #set ($itemdoc = $xwiki.getDocument($item)) * [$itemdoc>$itemdoc], ~~$itemdoc.display('Genrus') $itemdoc.display('Species')~~<br/> $itemdoc shows Space.Document. How do I get just Document? Please, excuse me if this questions are too basic! Thanks for your help! -- Ricardo Rodríguez CTO eBioTIC. Life Sciences, Data Modeling and Information Management Systems

Another way of writing is: #set($nameString = $xcontext.getUser()) #set($nameStringWithNoPrefix = $nameString.substring(6)) substring is a function of java.lang.String which is what's returned by context.getUser() You can google java.lang.String to get a listing of all of String's functions.

If you just put the name of the document ie: * [$itemdoc] It should extract the user friendly name and display it automatically. BTW: That is syntax/1.0 and all new development on the rendering engine is for the syntax/2.0 renderer. 1.0 will not be removed for quite some time but if you want to take advantage of new features, I recommend writing new code in syntax/2.0.

$context.getUser() returns a String representing the full name of the current user document (ex: "XWiki.RicardoRodriguez"). This is why, all the String methods can be applied on the returned value.

You have to get the name of the document: $itemdoc.name Raluca.

At debugging time, I make heavy use of $xxxx.getClass() or the failsafe variant: $!xxxx.getClass() (which cannot be used as $xxxx.class) so as to recognize the class of an object hence know the available properties. Of course, the javadoc also helps. paul

Thus, all these methods are the ones documented here.. http://download.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/String.html Is that right?

You have to get the name of the document: $itemdoc.name
That is far clear: once I get in $itemdoc a document object I can retrieve its properties by using $itemdoc.property syntax. I can't use .substring() (or any other String method) with $itemdoc simply because $itemdoc is not a string. Am I right? Please, accept my apologies if this questions are too basic!

It seems really useful for me as well. But, please, how could I query the class or available properties? Is that possible or the only way to get them is by going to the JavaDoc document? And, if so, where could I found the available properties for XWiki classes? I am sure I am missing something obvious... It's easy to read the properties by using the web interface and ?editor=class to the URL of the document holding the class definition, but how could I do this programmatically? Of course, it has to be the code of that editor. But I'm not able yet of reading and understanding that code. Any entry level help will be welcome! Thanks! Ricardo -- Ricardo Rodríguez CTO eBioTIC.

I think XEclipse does it pretty well. But what I prefer to use is my favourite IDE IntelliJ IDEA. For this, it depends if velocity or groovy. - if groovy, I use imports and give types to my variables... this way... there's a way to "add variables from context" but I was never fully satisfied with it. I name the files *.groovy. - if velocity, I name the files *.vm, and I insert such fragments as the below in the header #* @vtlvariable name="lucene" type="com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.lucene.LucenePluginApi" *# ## #* @vtlvariable name="xwiki" type="com.xpn.xwiki.api.XWiki" *# ## #* @vtlvariable name="request" type="javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest" *# ## #* @vtlvariable name="luQ" type="org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanQuery" *# .... and this gives me auto completion Of course, this relies on the fact that my IntelliJ has all the necessary dependencies (I import the right pom.xml for this). I believe it should be possible to get this in Eclipse using the velocity mode but a friend of mine, an expert there told me it wasn't possible. I can't believe it. We should definitely have a page about that in dev.xwiki.org. But not how to build! paul Le 20 sept. 2010 à 19:50, [Ricardo Rodriguez] eBioTIC. a écrit :

It really isn't difficult. Take a blank pom.xml. Add a dependency to xwiki entreprise... Import your pom in intelliJ (create a project from external model).
Do you use IntellijIDEA Community Edition or Ultimate Edition?
For velocity support you need the Ultimate edition unfortunately. But the licenses for open-source projects are still being granted. For groovy, the Community edition is enough I believe.
We should definitely have a page about that in dev.xwiki.org. But not how to build!
Please, why do say "But not how to build!" Simply because it already exists such a page?
Yes, it's about how to create applications, not how to build xwiki-core. Le 20 sept. 2010 à 20:59, [Ricardo Rodriguez] eBioTIC. a écrit :

I don't see XWiki among the projects granted an Ultimate Edition Intelljidea. I don't think I'm the one to propose such an application! Its web site states that, as you say, the Community edition is enough for Groovy so, let's give it a try!

I must recognize that I am a bit of a mess when talking about variables, properties, methods, objects and stuff! Let's go back to the initial question: what I was looking for was how to "read" all available properties of a given "object" with a "piece of code" within a XWiki page. I think I'm not able yet to use the right concepts and the right words when taking about, in general, object-oriented programming. I think that what you have gone several steps further and give me/us some nice keys about how to do that "programmatically" from within your favourite IDE. This will allow anybody using this environment to get auto-completion. I don't know if I've resumed correctly the point of situation here! I agree with you that it will be great to have some page in the developing "niche" of XWiki Ecosystem, but I do understand that is up to me/us to create it! Let's keep learning!

The grant would be for the xwiki development, not for xwiki applications. I think I saw there was one long ago. Your product should be open-source.

I summarize it all as the autocompletion function. You type $xxx then dot (".") then get a popup... that popup is based on what is known as type. paul
Ricardo, If you agree to work with "outdated projects", why not consider the project: http://svn.activemath.org/intergeo/Platform/Vignettes/ It's referencing old xwiki things because that's where curriki holds me but is otherwise giving me the edit luxury for groovy and velocity. It builds applets, per default (it's an applet-based screenshot uploader) but it also contains the source of an xwiki application. It also has src/main/pages/VignettesCode/ which contains source files in groovy and velocity languages and editing with intelliJ there gives me all the code-completions. I believe the project does not have "personal dependencies" but I could be wrong. The main visible output page being: http://i2geo.net/xwiki/bin/view/VignettesCode/CarouselHtml To upload I use my own post script (http://svn.activemath.org/intergeo/Platform/bin/upload-to-wiki) or simply and quite often copy and paste. paul PS: the project does not build a xar which would require those uneditable xml files or a modification to the plugin or xml infrastructure (xinclude probably) so that the .vm and .groovy are still kept, which is essential for editing luxury.

I'm afraid I'm lost again... by saying "based on what is know as type" you mean that we'll get all methods for a given class? all properties? For instance, if i type $xwiki. will I get all methods of this class? All its properties? I know, I can't learn Java by asking here all I don't know! But it is really useful to make this kind of questions, and get them answered!, to better understand the concepts I found defined in many places in Internet or asking colleagues. At least for me is quite difficult to know what is wrong, ill-defined or correct in that ocean of information! Thank you so much! -- Ricardo Rodríguez CTO eBioTIC.
