by Vincent Massol 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Hi everyone, I'd like to present to everyone the work I've been doing on the new rendering architecture for XWiki. Since this is going to be integrated soon in the XWiki Core I'd like to get some feedback first. Note that it's a technical discussion but open to everyone interested. It's best if you have had a look at the following before joining the discussion: * http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewRenderingArchitecture * http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/sandbox/components/xwiki-rendering/ Date: 31st March (Monday), 14:00 GMT+1 To join you'll need a recent skype version installed. Open the following URL in your browser: https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=406… Note: Skypecasts work only on Windows and Macs AFAIK. Sorry unix users... Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Wysiwyg editor plans
by Stéphane Laurière 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Hi everyone, It's getting clear from the dev and user communities that the wiki editor module is getting kind of bottleneck for document editing and advanced apps writing. So this is one of the hottest XWiki development topics this year. Ludovic prototyped a new generation editor entirely based on GWT 1.4 + GWT RichTextEditor featuring also real-time collaboration capabilities. On his side, Mikhail from Cognium Systems investigated several strategies. All current partakers in this project, can you update the following page with your ideas and links to existing prototypes? http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/NewWysiwygEditorBasedOnGwt Let's discuss the various strategies on the list, with pointers to Web pages whenever possible (yes, email is obsolete [1], we'll have to bootstrap the new communication tools, and this wysiwyg will be a big part of them). Beside the technical aspects, we'll have to discuss also the licensing and the hosting (XWiki versus other independant forges) aspects.

[xwiki-devs] CSV import/export application
by Leen Toelen 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Hi, I need to write the following xwiki extension: - Able to store objects with a part number and part description property - XWiki users need to be able to change part descriptions - When clicking on a part (in the table), users can cerate/edit an xwiki page with the full description - Display these items in a table, and link to a page with the part number as title (in a specific space) - We currenly have a csv export of the parts database, and would like to be able to upload this to xwiki - Later on, when uploading the csv again, the system needs to only create newer parts in xwiki, and leave the existing ones intact. - Exporting a csv from xwiki would be great as well I would create a class with a part number property and part description, and know how to display these in a grid, but am not sure on how to import a csv.I don't have any programming experience in xwiki, so how would you suggest to do this. Best regards, Leen Toelen

[xwiki-devs] Need help with WebDAV Support.
by Asiri Rathnayake 03 Apr '08

03 Apr '08

Hi Ludovic, I've been working on assembling a servlet using your webdav code, xwiki-core and other relevant dependencies. Although i could deploy the WebDAV servlet, I have few things I can't get pass, * What do I need to do so that once deployed the webdav servlet will use an instance of hsqldb ( like the stand-alone xwiki installation ) ? * Currently when I make a request to the servlet, I get the following error, 2008-04-02 20:21:19,597 [http://localhost:8080/DAVServer/] [http-8080-Processor24] ERROR [/DAVServer].[DAVServlet] - Servlet.service() for servlet DAVServlet threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at java.util.Hashtable.put(Hashtable.java:396) at com.xpn.xwiki.web.Utils.prepareContext(Utils.java:274) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.XWikiDavResourceImpl.getXWikiContext(XWikiDavResourceImpl.java:317) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.XWikiDavResourceImpl.<init>(XWikiDavResourceImpl.java:180) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.XWikiResourceFactoryImpl.createResource(XWikiResourceFactoryImpl.java:96) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.XWikiResourceFactoryImpl.createResource(XWikiResourceFactoryImpl.java:63) at com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.webdav.XWikiDavServlet.service(XWikiDavServlet.java:340) Tracking down reveals that the code in Utils, ComponentManager componentManager = (ComponentManager) engine_context.getAttribute(ComponentManager.class.getName()); context.put(ComponentManager.class.getName(), componentManager); Is throwing a null-pointer exception where componentManager is NULL. I believe this has something to with plexus, could tell me how to overcome this ? I'm sort of stuck at this point, any help is really appreciated. Btw, Ludovic, how were you able to test your code ? Thanks a lot. - Asiri

I think we should explain why we're disabling each macro by adding a comment for each. For example why are we disabling this one: > ## List configured interwiki targets. > +# org.radeox.macro.InterWikiMacro By looking at the comment I have no idea why. Same questions for most of the others too.

[xwiki-devs] Weird issue with Photo Album
by Squirrel 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Hi guys, Could you please take a look into this <http://tiny.cc/sWm57>. Steps: 1. Click on the album "Chicago" => you will see, that the first and the last picture are black and only the one in the middle shows up correctly 2. Click on the third picture => you will see, well nothing 3. Click again, on the black area => you will see the actual picture 4. Go back to the album overview and click on the first picture => you will see the actual picture one step earlier than on the third picture... 5. Go back and click on the picture in the middle => everything is just fine Any idea what I did wrong (I removed everything and tried it again, only the picture in the middle "DSCF0144.jpg" looks everytime fine)? Thanks, Squirrel PS: To upload many picture is a pain this way...I'm really looking forward to a filesystem-store-solution...I even run once out of heap-memory (Xmx512m)
