Boolean fields in XWikiDocument & BaseCollection
by Thomas Mortagne 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi XWikiers, In BaseClass there is possibility to add Boolean type field with "addBooleanField". In XwikiDocument (and then in BaseCollection), we use "getIntValue" and "setIntValue" to retrieve or set the value with 0=false and 1=true. It's very simple but I think a "get/setBooleanValue" that do the conversion would be much more readable and avoid developper to search how boolean values are really stored. Regards, Thomas Mortagne

[VOTE] Modify Header copyright
by Vincent Massol 31 Jul '07

31 Jul '07

Hi, The current header copyright says: "Copyright 2006-2007, XpertNet SARL, and individual contributors as indicated by the contributors.txt." 2 issues: - The sentence is not english - We don't have such a file I propose that we change it in favor of: "Copyright 2006-2007, XpertNet SARL, and individual contributors." Main Reason: - We don't specify where the contributors are listed which means we can decide to change that location. For example a list of contributors is on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/ HallOfFame#HContributors but it's far from being accurate. Tomorrow we may use another strategy or another location and we'd rather not change all headers. So better not specify where we define them. Another location is SVN. Here's my +1 to that. I also propose that we continue listing contributors on that HallOfFame page. Unfortunately I've been the only one adding names there. I need help. Thanks -Vincent

Hi Catalin, That's cool. I think I had a jira issue in XE for fixing all orphaned links for 1.1M4. If you do more fixes of this kind maybe you could use that jira issue # in the commit (you may want to create other issues if your changes are not in the XE JIRA though.

[Proposal] Solution for filtering out pages in the XE wiki
by Vincent Massol 28 Jul '07

28 Jul '07

Hi, We need a global solution for including/excluding pages in the XE wiki. The needs comes from the fact that we shouldn't show internal pages to casual xwiki users and we shouldn't show pages that they don't have the rights to view. At least the following places need to use this feature: * Navigation panel * All docs Treeview * All docs Index * WebSearch * WebSearchRss * WebRss * Orphaned pages + Panel I propose the following implementation: 1) Add a new API $xwiki.filterDocuments(List docNamesList, String persmissionToCheck). It would be used like this: for each ($item in $xwiki.filterDocuments($xwiki.searchDocuments ($sql), "view")) ... In the XE wiki: 2) Add a XWiki.PageFiltersClass class with 1 property: Includes. This property will contain pages to exclude, using HQL like format (one entry per line) 3) Add a XWiki.PageFiltersClassSheet to explain what this is about, explain how to add/remove entries, etc 4) Add a XWiki.PageFilters document that contains a XWiki.PageFiltersClass object and which has velocity code in its wiki content to compute the HQL clause corresponding to the exclusions specified in its object. 5) Modify the documents listed above to use XWiki.PageFilters as follows: #includeInContext("XWiki.PageFilters") #if (!$pageFiltersSqlClause) #set ($pageFiltersSqlClause = "") #end #set ($sql = ".... and $pageFiltersSqlClause ...") #set ($list = $xwiki.filterDocuments($xwiki.searchDocuments($sql , $nb , 0), "view")) ... WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[Proposal] Document history storage
by Sergiu Dumitriu 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

Hi, Sometime ago, there was a discussion regarding how should the document history be stored in a better way. Right now, the complete history is stored as one field in the xwikidoc table. From my PoV, this has some major disadvantages: - loading an older version requires parsing all the history -> memory inefficiency - as the documents grow older, loading a document will take a lot of time -> time inefficiency - queries on archives cannot return just one version, but they match the whole document (somewhere in the history, there was a version containing "search term") The blocking issue with storing old version in a different table was, at that time, the fact that a document archive should contain all information needed for completely restoring the document, like content, metadata, objects. I don't think that is actually an issue. We are archiving document versions, but we're joining all versions in one large string. Why don't we archive the complete version, but one version per row? So, the archive table should look like: - document name - version number - language (for translations) - content - archived metadata (one field, or the same fields as in xwikidoc) - archived objects (one field) - attachment names and versions It is not like storing the version as a normal document is, with separate objects and properties, but at least it provides a better storage and retrieval mechanism, and it separates a bit the parts of a wikidocument - content, metadata, objects. WDYT? -- http://purl.org/net/sergiu

TeamCity is back
by Vincent Massol 27 Jul '07

27 Jul '07

ok, after fighting for 2 days, TeamCity is back working fine. http://teamcity.xwiki.org We had a disk full problem dues to the large size of our maven repos so I cleaned them all and then discovered the build on TC wasn't working anymore. This was due to several errors in the build which were hidden by the fact that the local repo on the TC machine had the artifacts there. To be more precise, in order to do a release with maven we cannot have any SNAPSHOT deps in our POM so we had to "release" some external dependencies we're using in SNAPSHOT version. One of these was the maven selenium plugin and I've discovered that faking a release of an external maven plugin isn't as simple as it appears... But I now know how to do that. Thanks -Vincent
