Should we document this generally or is it specific to this macro (in which case maybe we should add a comment so that the next person doesn't start indenting it)? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] How can I hide attachments from search results?
by John Lantz 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

We are having a problem with image attachments clogging up our search results. Say a user is searching for Orange. The topic page Orange will be ranked below an image named orange.png, as well as an image named IMAGEI68A35.png that is on a the Fruit Salad topic page. Ideally, we would be able to hide all attachments from search results. We don't want to hide attachments on topic pages-we need the images to be displayed-but we do need to hide them from search results. The problem is identical to the one posted by this user: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XPLUCENE-63 Any suggestions? A simple bit of code I could past into a config or preference file somewhere? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, John Lantz Developer Advocate IdeaBlade Office: 510.596.5100 x124 Cell: 408.515.9565 Email: johnl(a)ideablade.com<mailto:johnl@ideablade.com>

This wiki could have 100s of thousands of users if used nationwide. Of course they could be separate but that is less desirable. You could use myxwiki.org to validate your concept but if it grows to lots of users you should contact XWiki SAS (http://xwiki.com) to ask for a quote to support all the users you have in mind. If you're interested to test myxwiki.org please follow the instructions on http://myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome Thanks -Vincent > I successful how would scale to thousands of users? > > > Let me know your thoughts. > > > Thanks > > > Doug Skuce

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Group manager (User with edit rights on group's page)
by Eduard Moraru 18 Jan '11

18 Jan '11

Hi devs, I`ve just made a few modifications (locally) to the group sheet and to the livetable macro to allow users with edit rights on a group's page to edit the group, acting like a "group manager", without having to require wiki-level admin rights. I thought this would be a nice addition to XE so here is the jira issue (with patch included). WDYT? Thanks, Eduard

[xwiki-devs] Crypto module test failure
by Vincent Massol 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hi devs, This is not the first I notice that one of the crypto module test is failing on my machine when building core. Here's what I got this time: Tests run: 14, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0, Time elapsed: 7.106 sec <<< FAILURE! initializationProcessorTimeTest(org.xwiki.crypto.passwd.ScryptMemoryHardKeyDerivationFunctionTest) Time elapsed: 1.501 sec <<< FAILURE! java.lang.AssertionError: password hashing took 1437 and target time was 500 My machine is pretty powerful so it shouldn't be an issue either with memory or cpu. Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Idea] New default color theme for the 3.0 cycle
by Jerome Velociter 14 Jan '11

14 Jan '11

Hello friends, What about we create and set default a new color theme for XE, in the 3.0 cycle ? This is a cheap way for us to refresh the look and to differentiate 3.x visually ? We could aslo have new additional themes, besides the default one. Jérôme.

[xwiki-devs] [Idea] Compatibility file for deprecated styles
by Jerome Velociter 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hello devs, I've just hit an issue where my application relies on CSS styles definitions that are being dropped between 2.7 and 3.0, namely all the dashboardXXX classes, abandoned in favor of the new dashboard macro styles. While I reckon those CSS classes were never explicitly defined as being APIs developers should rely on, I think we should offer better backward compatibility for those who did rely on them, just like we do with JavaScript code (see http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DevelopmentPractices#HBackwar… ) What we could do is introduce a compatibility.css file holding styles for such deprecated classes, and decide if we want it or not included by default (The JavaScript compatibility.js file is included by default, for example, although the rules states that XE releases should work just the same without it, of course). WDYT ? Jérôme.
