[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Refactoring of xwiki-configuration module
by Vincent Massol 18 Jun '09

18 Jun '09

Hi, I'd like to modify the configuration module so that it can support adding dynamic configuration data (located in XWikiPreferences, WebPreferences or other). I'd like to propose: * We remove the notion of ConfigurationManager * We make ConfigurationSource components * We create a XWikiPropertiesConfigurationSource (hint = "xwikiproperties") * (future) We create XWikiPreferencesDocumentConfigurationSource, SpacePreferencesDocumentConfigurationSource, UserPreferencesDocumentConfigurationSource components * Create a DefaultConfigurationSource component (hint = "default") which has @Requirement("xwikiproperties") (and other sources later on). It's a composite ConfigurationSource which calls the various internal sources in the right order. In term of usage here's what you'd write. For example for DefaultRenderingConfiguration: @Component public class DefaultRendernigConfiguration implements RenderingConfiguration { @Requirement ConfigurationSource source; private static final String PREFIX = "rendering."; private static final String DEFAULT_LINK_LABEL_FORMAT = "%p"; public String getLinkLabelFormat() { return (String) this.source.getProperty(PREFIX + "linkLabelFormat", DEFAULT_LINK_LABEL_FORMAT); } } WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Reusing Office Importer code
by Cristina Scheau 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Hello! For the XOO project, I would need a conversion module which has two components: 1. converter from the swriter html in pure html. 2. bidirectional converter wiki syntax - html. Is this already done in the Office Importer project? If yes, I would be grateful if you tell me where can I find this components. Best regards, Cristina Scheau

Does this mean our blog application doesn't work for non admins in XE 1.9? If so it's a big problem that may require releasing 1.9.1 sooner than we wanted IMO and do a 1.9.2. WDYT?

[xwiki-devs] wiki manager - URL path access - problem with editor form buttons
by Pascal Voitot 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Hello, I tried using the URL path based wiki access as described in Manager Admin Guide: http://localhost:8080/xwiki/wiki/mydomain.com/view/Main/WebHome It works perfectly but then I click on the "Edit" menu for any content from such an URL. Finally I try to click on a bottom button "Cancel", "Preview" etc... It redirects me to : http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin?srid= So apparently with URL based notation, the form action is badly managed and redirect to 127.0.0.1 and then to the login as I'm not logger on 127.0.0.1... Do you know this issue? Pascal

[xwiki-devs] [GSoC] Reminder: midterm evaluation in less than 3 weeks
by Sergiu Dumitriu 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Hello GSoC students, Time flies fast when you're having fun: only 3 weeks left until the midterm evaluation. Don't forget that, by July 6th, you should all have a project with at least 30% of the functionalities proposed in your application, which will help us estimate whether you will be able to finish your work according to the plan or not. Also, don't forget about the (at least) weekly commits requirement, very important for getting proper feedback, and about updating the wiki when you have news. Note that we believe some of the projects are not really advancing as expected, but it's probably not too late to catch up. Please communicate with one of the mentors in case you get stuck. Hoping to see some nice code committed this week, -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

Yes that would be handy. Actually I thought that we had done this at some point but maybe it was only done on some specific instance and not in the core. > * some sort of automated work flow facility This would need to be discussed more since this is too generic and the needs might be various. Right now there are 2 solutions for simple workflows: - use spaces with permissions and some velocity to move pages from one space to another - add a Status object to pages and use HQL (or XWQL) to perform queries based on the status > * some sort of dashboard/home page mashups for users to provide user > customised access to wiki content You mean ability to insert widgets? Meaning that it's the user that chooses the widgets he'd like to see. Something like http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Gadgets/WebHome maybe? Now you mention "wiki content". Do you have ideas about content widgets you'd like to see?

[xwiki-devs] logout redirection problem with XWiki server behind an apache proxy
by Pascal Voitot 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hello, I wonder whether this is a error in my servers configurations or this is a bug... I have an XWiki server running behind an Apache server and the link between them is performed using the simple mod_proxy with some pass such as: ProxyPass /xwiki/ http://localhost:8080/xwiki/ It works perfectly except when I logout... I get redirected to an URL looking like: http://localhost:8080/xwikihttp://mydomain/xwiki/bin/login/XWiki/XWikiLogin… Do you have an idea of the reason of this behavior? regards Pascal

[xwiki-devs] Do we still need ApplicationContextInitializer?
by Vincent Massol 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi, Since I've now introduced events for XWiki App start/stop and since listeners to those events can have the Container injected in them, do we still need the notion of ApplicationContextInitializer? Thanks -Vincent
