[xwiki-devs] XWiki Attachments
by Kamna Jain 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

I was wondering if the files that are uploaded on XWiki are stored in any particular folder on the server? Or is it just the tables in the DB that have information on them? We are exploring the ways in which the files uploaded can be directly added to a SVN repository. For this, I need to know the location of the files once they are uploaded. Thanks

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] remove api.Attachment#getArchive() and wrap #getAttachmentRevision
by Artem Melentyev 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hi, devs. While reviewing our attachment archive implementation I found following methods in com.xpn.xwiki.api.Attachment: /** * @return the rcs archive of the attachement */ public Archive getArchive() { return attachment.getArchive(); } It returns unwrapped JRCS archive which Has modify methods. So user can change attachment archive without proper rights. Also there are public archive-specific methods in api.Attachment such as getVersions, getAttachmentRevision. So I found no usecases of getArchive method. This method can be replaced by api.Attachment.getAttachment().getArchive() with checking programming right. next method: public XWikiAttachment getAttachmentRevision(String rev) throws XWikiException { return attachment.getAttachmentRevision(rev, getXWikiContext()); } returns unwrapped XWikiAttachment, but should return api.Attachment. So i propose to delete api.Attachment#getArchive() and modify getAttachmentRevision to return Attachment. Another question: is this fix needed for 1.3 brunch? Here is my +1 for fix it in trunk. -- Artem Melentyev

Re: [xwiki-devs] [Issue] Created: (XWIKI-2116) Make XWiki.XWikiAllGroup a "special" group, rather than a real document with objects attached.
by Erin Schnabel 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

I was asked to post to the list about this.. things have been busy, so it's taken me awhile. There are a few things that really bug me about the XWikiAllGroup: 1) It requires an XWikiGroups object to be created for every registered user, which is a pain in the butt when there are thousands 2) It is possible for the XWikiAllGroup to get out of sync with actual registered users: When users are deleted, it does not automatically remove the corresponding object from XWikiAllGroup, and if there is a strange window with the cache (which I've seen happen) objects for new users are not correctly added to the XWikiAllGroup document. The XWikiAllGroup is special (just as XWikiGuest is special). It's my view that the document a) shouldn't have to really exist, and b) shouldn't actually have to have XWikiGroups objects for every user attached to it. If someone is a valid user, they're in XWikiAllGroup.. that's it. The default contents of the XWikiAllGroup document could either be a link to the XWikiUsers page, or a repeat of the query displaying all of the users in the system. So it's my thought that the auth code should be modified to treat XWikiAllGroup as a special entity in the future. I know I'll be more than happy to delete the XWiki.XWikiAllGroup document as soon as I have the chance.

Writing java code not not necessary unless developing a pluign. You may want to look at http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/FAQTutorial The is the best place to start with velocity code in wiki pages to build applications to extend xwiki.

Re: [xwiki-devs] Creating Pages based on available Templates

There is a slight bug in xwiki skin. in editinline.vm please add the following line: <input type="hidden" name="parent" value="$!request.parent" /> where other hidden params are added. I have posted a JIRA issue on the same, but looks like nothing has been done on this front.
