[xwiki-devs] [Discussion] Wiki Macro Bridge
by Asiri Rathnayake 02 Jul '09

02 Jul '09

Hello Devs, This is about implementing support for creating rendering macros by editing wiki pages! The corresponding JIRA issue is http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3213. Introduction ------------ There are two main xwiki classes involved: XWiki.WikiMacro & XWiki.WikiMacroParameter. Fields of these classes are as below: XWiki.WikiMacro | |-> name (Name of the macro) | |-> description (Short description about the macro - for display purposes) | |-> content (Macro content, this is what will be executed when the macro is invoked, can be any xwiki/2.0 content) XWiki.WikiMacroParameter | |-> name (Name of the parameter) | |-> macro (Name of the macro to which this parameter applies to) | |-> description (Description of this macro parameter - for display purposes) | |-> mandatory (boolean value indicating if this parameter is mandatory) So the basic idea is, when a user saves (or updates) a page containing an Object of XWiki.WikiMacro type, we will dynamically register (or re-register) a macro as defined by that object. Question: 1. What about macro name conflicts? Should we ask macro name to be unique? (This can be done if we introduce a document sheet and a template for creating macros) Implementation steps -------------------- 1. The original idea was to create XWiki.WikiMacro & XWiki.WikiMacroParameter classes upon XE startup (if those classes are not present). But I would like to start a little different here, we create xwiki-application-wikimacro application to host these two documents and later remove this app and add the initialization code. This will allow me to focus on other more important tasks upfront and meanwhile i can make any changes easily to these wiki pages if they are kept inside an application. 2. Document update / save event listening & Macro registration can be implemented using the ObservationManager and dynamic component registration mechanisms. - Currently ObservationManager can only send general document save / update events. We can either use these events and filter only those we are interested (ones where an XWiki.WikiMacro object is saved / updated) OR we can introduce a new event like ObjectChangedEvent (which would be constructed given a class name) that is fired by xwiki-core appropriately. - This document event listening & dynamic macro component registration code will be put inside xwiki-rendering/xwiki-rendering-macro-wikibridge 3. Finally DefaultMacroManager needs to be updated so that it listens to ComponentManager events and filters out those events corresponding to Macro component registrations and updates the internal macro cache. So, above is the approach I have in mind for implementing the wiki-macro bridge. If you have any comments, please let me know. Thanks. - Asiri

[xwiki-devs] Composable
by glenn_engel＠agilent.com 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

In http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents <http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/WritingComponents%20the%2…> the Composable interface is described but as been moved to a different package in 2.0. Has this been deprecated or is another method recommended for 2.0? I see the release notes for 2.0 mention a new way to register for startup or shutdown events. Is this documented anywhere or a pointer to a component using this available? Thanks, Glenn

[xwiki-devs] Wiki Issues
by Lawry, Joe 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

All, I'm new to XWiki so go easy on me! I'm having two issues with my wiki. My first issue is with the Log-In link on the Main page above the Registration link. For some reason, it prompts visitors for the credentials to access my server instead of directing them to the log-in page. Is there any way I can modify the Main page's source so that I can point this link to the log-in page instead? Also, I'm having difficulty using the calendar application. When I navigate to it the following lines of code appear: $cparams.put("categories", $rqcategories) $cview.getHTMLCalendar($cparams, "") I read somewhere that this happens when the calendar plug-in isn't enabled. I tried enabling it by modifying xwiki.cfg but the calendar still won't appear. Is there something I've overlooked? I didn't find very much documentation on the subject but would be more than happy to contribute it once I get this issue resolved. I'm somewhat of a documentation nut. ^_^ Any help would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully, Joe Lawry

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Add an URL parameters to choose the renderer to use when viewing a page (was Re: [PROPOSAL] Use plain text renderer with ?xpage=plain)
by Thomas Mortagne 01 Jul '09

01 Jul '09

Hi devs, We need to decide something for http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3413 I propose to take Vincent's proposal and have a parameter "outputType" in the URL which provide the syntax identifier of the renderer to use. Also since syntax identifier contains "/" which i never remember the escaped version when i need it i propose to support short names by looking at available renderers and take the last version of the asked syntax (which mean the only renderer of this syntax most of the time anyway but I prefer having something in case of). So for example you could ask for the page Space.Page printed as plain text and without UI with the URL: http://host/xwiki/bin/view/Space/Page?outputType=plain&xpage=plain or the full form http://host/xwiki/bin/view/Space/Page?outputType=plain%2F1.0&xpage=plain I don't like xpage=plain but it already exists and is doing exactly this, printing the content of the document without UI. We can decide latter if we want a new parameter for this. Feel free to propose another name, I'm not sure of "outputType" but i could not find a better one and "renderer" seems too technical.

[xwiki-devs] Plugin dependencies
by glenn_engel＠agilent.com 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

I have a plugin that depends on xwiki-plugin-skinx and xwiki-core-component (for example). When I try to build against 2.0-milestone-1 maven is not able to find jar files for these. Do I need to specify 1.9 versions for these or have they 'moved' elsewhere? Is there a way to easily determine what is what? Thanks, Glenn

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Change signatures for DAB.getProperty() methods
by Vincent Massol 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hi, I'd like to change the signatures DAB.getProperty() methods. Right now they are: String getProperty(String documentName, String className, int objectNumber, String propertyName) throws Exception; String getProperty(String documentName, String className, String propertyName) throws Exception; String getProperty(String documentName, String propertyName) throws Exception; I'd like to change them to: Object getProperty(String documentName, String className, int objectNumber, String propertyName); Object getProperty(String documentName, String className, String propertyName); Object getProperty(String documentName, String propertyName); I have no idea why they currently return Strings and not Objects and why they are declared to throw an exception when they catch all exceptions and instead return null when an error occurs... I need this change to be able to implement http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4044 (Add support for looking for configuration parameters in XWikiPreferences, WebPreferences and the User Profile) Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

Hi Guillaume Well, I took me a little bit longer to get to it but finally I updated the Blog Application Wiki: http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/BlogApplication.
