[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XWiki "2.0" Syntax
by Vincent Massol 27 Oct '09

27 Oct '09

Hi, Since I'm rewriting the new Rendering component (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewRenderingArchitecture) , we need to finalize the new syntax we want to have. Right now I'v planned to use the same wiki syntax as now (http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/ XWikiSyntax#HTextStyles) with only one change: all macros now need to be closed. For example: {macro}...{/macro} and {macro:text|param=value|.../} Is that ok with everyone or do we want to make changes? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Deprecation strategy
by Vincent Massol 30 Jan '09

30 Jan '09

We need a deprecation strategy, i.e. decide for how long we keep @deprecated methods/classes. I propose to keep them for 2 full releases after the current version is released as final. For example if a method is deprecated in, say Core 1.3M2 then the method will be removed in 1.6M1. Of course any major new release can deprecate anything so a XWiki 2.0 is expected to break backward compatibility. So for methods deprecated in 1.0 we can remove them in 1.3M1, M2, etc. WDYT? If ok then I'll add this to our dev practice guide too. Note that for this to be easy anyone deprecating methods should add the information of when it was deprecated. For example: /** * @param time the time in milliseconds * @return the time delta in milliseconds between the current date and the time passed * as parameter * @deprecated replaced by {@link com.xpn.xwiki.api.Util#getTimeDelta(long)} since 1.3M2 */ public int XWiki.getTimeDelta(long time) { return this.util.getTimeDelta(time); } Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

LANG property in startup script in standalone version
by Vincent Massol 10 Jul '08

10 Jul '08

Hi, Does anyone know why we have the following LANG property defined in our startup scripts: #!/bin/sh export LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-1 JETTY_HOME=. JETTY_PORT=8080 JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx300m java $JAVA_OPTS -Dfile.encoding=iso-8859-1 -Djetty.port=$JETTY_PORT - Djetty.home=$JETTY_HOME -jar $JETTY_HOME/start.jar I think this is bad as it's french and I don't think we should set it for the user. That said, if it's there its probably because it was required in the past, hence my question here. To summarize: anyone sees any issue if I remove that "export LANG" line? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] How can I dynamically create a panel?
by Glenn Everitt 30 Jun '08

30 Jun '08

I was trying to figure out how to dynamically create a panel so I was looking at create.vm shown here: #if($tocreate=="panel") #set($docname=$title.replaceAll("/", "%2F")) #if(!$template || $template == "") #set($template="Panels.PanelTemplate") #end #set($newdoc=$xwiki.getDocument($docname)) #if($newdoc.isNew()) #set($pcontent = "#") #set($pcontent = $pcontent.concat("panelheader('${title}')${xwiki.getNl()}${xwiki.getNl()}#")) #set($pcontent = $pcontent.concat("panelfooter()")) #set($pcontent = $util.encodeURL($pcontent)) $response.sendRedirect($newdoc.getURL("inline", "template=${template}&Panels.PanelClass_0_name=${title}&Panels.PanelClass_0_content=$pcontent")) #else $response.sendRedirect($newdoc.getURL("view", "xpage=docalreadyexists")) #end #end . . and I quickly got lost. It looks like you first create a document from in panels space something like XWikiDocument doc = context.getWiki().getDocument("XWiki.MyPanell", context); Then it looks like $pcontent concatenates some calls to velocity macros together. Then it looks like it is url encoded so it can be passed as http response. Then I am completely lost with the sendRedirect statement. Does it redirect to process the templates and then return the response? Is there a better example for me to look at or perhaps someone generous enough to provide me with even more help? You guys have been very generous with help and I would like to Thank you!

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Fabio Mancinelli as core committer
by Vincent Massol 12 Jun '08

12 Jun '08

Hi, I'd like to propose Fabio as a core committer. Fabio has been mostly participating in the rewrite of the XMLRPC support and I think it's important that he has access to maintain and improve it. Fabio's patches are very good too. In addition I believe Fabio is professional enough to not commit things he's not sure about if he's modifying other parts of the core and ask for core review instead. Last, if this make Fabio contributes to other parts in the core, then that's great for the project! Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

Hello, I have managed to authenticate users with the Active directory through LDAP. However, all the users i login were shown the error message "You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action." when i am at http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome. I pressume the users records are not in the Xwiki database. Where and how do i create these records when the user first logon onto xwiki?

[xwiki-devs] Choosing a JIRA issue ...
by Asiri Rathnayake 28 May '08

28 May '08

Hi Devs, I've gone through xwiki-core JIRA list and i selected following three issues out of which i wish to pick a one. But before jumping in, i need some guidance on which one to select. I thought it's best to ask from the list since i might not be aware of the severity of these issues. * XWIKI-2191 <http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2191> - (When user logout, his pages locks should be removed - Reported by Thomas Mortagne) * XWIKI-1538 <http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1538> - (Improve performance by efficiently using synchronized code - Reported by Sergiu Dumitriu) * XWIKI-671 <http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-671> - (Refactor the code using deprecated API - Reported by Sergiu Dumitriu) Thank you very much for your time. - Asiri

Attaching an image from another document?
by Vincent Massol 22 May '08

22 May '08

Hi, I'd like to attach an image to the current document but the image is attached to another document. I couldn't find the answer in the FAQ. It would be great if the {image:} radeox macro allowed for this. Right now the only solution I'v found (which is a bit ugly) is to use an HTML <img> tag as in: <img src="/xwiki/bin/download/XWiki/Toolbar/image.gif" /> Any other solution I would have missed?

[xwiki-devs] Adding space information to the context.
by Kamna Jain 16 May '08

16 May '08

Hello Devs, Is it possible to use $context.put in the following way: $context.put("space","Main") where space is the key and Main is the value of Space and then retrieve it using $context.get("space") on any page in xwiki! I tried using it but did not work and did not throw any exception either. I am trying to simulate login based on spaces in XWiki Enterprise and this information will be very helpful. Also, if I wanted to change the "function" that is called when a login form is submitted (loginsubmit action), where do I do that. Thanks
