Our goal is still to have more bugs closed than created for the past 1400 days! http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=10352 As of now we're 18 bugs behind! Let's fix some bugs! More than last week unfortunately. We've been "helped" by Sorin and Manuel who created a flurry of bug reports yesterday! :) Here's the BFD#36 dashboard to follow the progress during the day: http://jira.xwiki.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11696 Let's crush bugs!

[xwiki-devs] Rating the XWiki solution in the Smile open source guide
by Vincent Massol 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Dear XWiki users, A French company (Smile) is providing an online guide of open source solutions and they're rating the different solutions: http://www.open-source-guide.com/ They've included XWiki here: http://www.open-source-guide.com/Solutions/Applications/Blogs-wiki-et-forum… They provide their own rating but they also allow users to rate the solutions. It would be great if you could spend one minute rating XWiki! It's very simple and even if you don't speak French it's easy. You just have to go to http://www.open-source-guide.com/Solutions/Applications/Blogs-wiki-et-forum… and click on "Donner mon avis". You then have 6 questions for which to give from 1 to 5 stars + an opinion if you wish (you could leave it in English). That will help the XWiki project. Thanks for your help -Vincent Massol XWiki committer

[xwiki-devs] Calc Macro source?
by Paul Libbrecht 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Hello fellow developers, I have applied the Calc macro to my wiki and it worked ok at least for trials. We are considering to create one or two macros that would be doing the same or a bit more (e.g. include sliders). But... where is the source? Simply the xar? thanks in advance. Paul

Re: [xwiki-devs] [xwiki-notifications] Problems with XWiki 3.1
by Denis Gervalle 16 Sep '13

16 Sep '13

Hi Federico, This looks really strange. The failure happen during the update of the database schema by Hibernate, to conform with the updated hibernate mapping of XWiki 4.x. The errors says that a new foreign key constrains should be added for column agl_id of table feeds_aggregatorurlgroups to the primary key of table feeds_aggregatorurl, but that this last table does not have any primary key which is really weird. Are you sure you have properly imported the database ? You may try to alter the table feeds_aggregatorurl to declare its primary key as agg_id, but I am afraid you we fail on other similar issue for other table as well, since this kind of error is really unexpected.

[xwiki-devs] [ANN] XWiki 5.2 Milestone 2 Released
by Marius Dumitru Florea 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

The XWiki development team is proud to announce the availability of XWiki 5.2 Milestone 2. The second milestone of the 5.2 release comes with multiwiki support enabled by default: users are able to create new wikis without the need to install additional extensions. This is possible because the Workspace Application has been integrated in XWiki Enterprise. Besides this, the new release brings a Solr-based live search (to replace the one based on Lucene) and the ability to track active XWiki installs. Developers will be interested by the new WikiStream framework. As with other releases this one has a lot of bug fixes (92) and improvements (33) which make it worth trying. You can download it here: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Download Make sure to review the release notes: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/ReleaseNotes/ReleaseNotesXWiki52M2 Thanks -The XWiki dev team

[xwiki-devs] Small Suggestion for the Distribution Wizard UI
by Clemens Klein-Robbenhaar 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Hi devs, as I recently played around with the DW on a fresh install instead of a migration, I figured out the "Cancel" button does not what I guess most users expect it to do. With a fresh install when there are no pages in the wiki, choosing "cancel" leaves one with a completely empty wiki where one cannot do anything, especially not login to import ones custom set of pages. If one really has a custom set of pages, probably one is experienced enough to know about the "superadmin" account. (Even then one might expect from earlier version that it is possible to upload an initial XAR without having to log in, and be confused when it is not there.) Unfortunately unexperienced users, who might just know the "standalone" HSQL/Jetty distro with their pre-installed pages, might be confused when they set up XWiki "the right way". The typical reaction when being confused is to press the "Cancel" button, which normally is the "get me out of here" way to fix things if some unexpected dialog pops up. However in the installation process this is exactly what an unexperienced user should *not* do. At most "skip" is the right option, if the user really wants to see how the wiki looks without UI. I wonder if instead of "Cancel" a stronger word like "Abort" should be used. Or maybe if pressing "Cancel" at install time one should get a javascript alert saying "If you choose this option you will have to activate the "superadmin" user in the config file, as no default admin user will be installed, and the wiki will be nearly useless without." (message should appear only in case of a fresh install, i.e. if there are no pages in the DB, of course). Additionally maybe it is helpful to color the button red instead of blue. (Well, maybe this is even all that needs to change to keep newbies from pressing that button). Cheers, Clemens
