[xwiki-devs] stupid fixed background scroll bug in FF3
by Pascal Voitot 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

Hello, has anybody the same slow and choppy scrolling issue under Firefox3 with XWiki? Apparently this is linked to the fixed CSS background for the header menu... It doesn't appear on all hardware/OS configurations but lots of people complain about it. As XWiki uses a fixed background by default, I preferred warning you because this is really a pain using xwiki under FF3 on my computer :) (if you remove the "fixed" CSS field, it works betteeeeeeeer) regards Pascal

[xwiki-devs] [vote] Logging format
by Sergiu Dumitriu 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

Hi devs, I'd like to apply http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2667 , but one thing I'd like to change is the format of the log messages. The current patch uses String.format, but I prefer MessageFormat, as it is more expressive, and it is already used by the localization tool. So: 1. We use String.format, because: - it is "simpler" (some say) - it is familiar to C/C++ programmers - it is a bit more customizable at the finer level - the code is already written 2. We use MessageFormat, because: - it is already used for localization strings - it is more expressive (I really like the "choice" format) - it is apparently less customizable, but it uses good defaults (I'd rather specify that I want a "long" date format than a "DD MMMM HH:mm:ss z" format) - the changes are minimal - I for one prefer this syntax, rather than the old printf one. My +1 for option 2. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

Hello, I create a JSX object with parse option enabled and in the code I put something like: doit("${my_vm_variable}") in my XWiki doc, i put: #set($my_vm_variable = "my_value") $xwiki.jsx.use("my_jsx_doc") But, the variables are not interpreted... (I also tried to put the variable in the jsx doc but doesn't work either) I may misunderstand something :) regards Pascal

[xwiki-devs] xwiki enterprise 1.6 in Linux Fedora 3 error
by Vivian Richard 18 Oct '08

18 Oct '08

Hi I am trying to deploy the xwiki Enterprise 1.6 that comes bundles with Jetty and HSQLDB in Fedora 3 environment. I unzipped it and placed that folder in /usr/local folder. I started the server and it starts fine. When I go to the browser with URL http://localhost:8080/xwiki I get the following message, which was expected: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Error 404 - Not Found. No context on this server matched or handled this request. Contexts known to this server are: * WebApplicationContext[/xwiki,xwiki] The links above may not work if a virtual host is configured -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now when I click "WebApplicationContext[/xwiki,xwiki]" - instead of showing the welcome page, it gives me the error message as following: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HTTP ERROR: 500 Error number 3 in 0: Could not initialize main XWiki context Wrapped Exception: Unable to build interceptor chain RequestURI=/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ Powered by Jetty:// -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please suggest how can I fix this problem. Best regards....

[xwiki-devs] foxwiki artifact Id pb
by Vincent Massol 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Here's what I get when building platform: ... [INFO] XWiki Platform - Core - Query - XWQL [INFO] XWiki Platform - Core - Core [INFO] XWiki Platform - Tools - XML Doc Update Plugin [INFO] XWiki Platform - Tools - Packager [INFO] XWiki Platform - Tools - XWiki Configuration Resources [INFO] XWiki Platform - Tools - Jetty Configuration Resources [INFO] XWiki Platform - Tools - Default (root) webapp for the standalone package [INFO] FoXWiki - Parent [INFO] FoXWiki - Core [INFO] FoXWiki - Distribution [INFO] XWiki Platform - Core - XMLRPC client [INFO] XWiki Platform - Plugins - Parent POM [INFO] XWiki Platform - Plugins - Skin Extensions [INFO] XWiki Platform - Plugins - Adwords [INFO] XWiki Platform - Plugins - Alexa [INFO] XWiki Platform - Plugins - eXo Platform [INFO] XWiki Platform - Plugins - Joda Time [INFO] XWiki Platform - Plugins - Scheduler [INFO] XWiki Platform - Plugins - Application Manager [INFO] XWiki Platform - Plugins - Wiki Manager [INFO] XWiki Platform - Plugins - Mail Sender [INFO] XWiki Platform - Plugins - Lucene search ... So the foxwiki tool doesn't have the correct artifactId. That said it's still in the wrong location I believe... I think a top level project would be ok. Thanks -Vincent

by Asiri Rathnayake 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Hi Sergiu, I have created a JIRA issue at http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2763and attached a patch that would complete the migration. Please review it and apply it as you see fit. I can start the integration as soon as this is done. I kind of have to turn off my computer now because it's thundering outside (really scary). Hope to be online in couple of hours. Thanks. - Asiri

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal]Create a Microsoft Word Add-in to handle XWiki integration
by Florin Ciubotaru 17 Oct '08

17 Oct '08

Hi devs, I started writing an Add-in for Microsoft Word that could be a part of our Office integration strategy. In the next period I'm going to spend 50% of my time on developing this, here at XWiki Romania. The technology I use is .NET + VSTO. Yes, I know that .NET it's not in XWiki's area, but this technology is very powerfull and it can bring an advantage for our platform. Here is the design page: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/MicrosoftOfficeAddin Please read it and give me some feedback. Florin Ciubotaru

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] XPXARPLUGIN
by dan.miron＠xwiki.com 17 Oct '08

Hi guys, regarding the bug from http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XPXARPLUGIN, I would like to know your oppinion regarding this issue: If there is already a package.xml document, but it's invalid, the plugin should: a) Display a warning, ignore the existing package.xml and generate a new one. b) Throw an error, thus causing the build to fail Personally, I'm for a), since it's not a critical issue. Thomas M. says that if there is a package.xml it's because someone wants that package.xml to be taken into account, so if for b) Tnx.
