[xwiki-devs] Questions about fixing getRenderedContent() bug
by Vincent Massol 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi, Im trying to fix http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-4274 Basically if you do $xwiki.getDocument("someDoc").getRenderedContent() it'll get executed in the context of the current doc which I believe is wrong especially since other signatures of getRenderedContent() execute in the target document's context. I have fixed this locally but found that admin.vm for example is assuming that getRenderedContent() will get executed in the context of the calling doc (i.e. XWiki.Import when doing an import for example). FYI the chain flow is admin.vm -- getRenderedContent() --> XWiki.AdminSheet --> XWiki.AdminImportSheet --> importinline.vm, which requires the current doc to be XWiki.Import (to get/put attachments from/to it). I can fix this easily using a new getRenderedContent signature I've introduced. However I'm wondering if we have other places that incorrectly use getRenderedContent() and assume it won't be rendered in the context of the target document. Is this change too dangerous to make? If not know, we'll need to it quickly (2.1M1?) since it's an important bug IMO. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Flamingo Application Bar
by Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

Hi guys, I have pushed a first version of flamingo in platform/XE, but it is only a prototype that need a LOT more do be ready for production. One of the new things brought by flamingo is the "Applications" left bar, which is not exactly the same thing as the Applications Panel we already have. We can see it more as a "dock" with a list of applications, and in the future, we could make it customizable by the user. Caty has written a proposal for this [1]. Right now, for the first implementation, I need to make some choices about the way we "populate" this bar. We can create new classes to describe the bar entries, or new UI Extensions (maybe not the good choice regarding the recent e-mails...), or by re-using the existing AddApplicationUIX... It is described on http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/AppBar#HImplementationConsi…. Other thing: In my draft, I have created a new VM file on the filesystem for this concept. Maybe I should create it as an extension point stored in the database, but it means it won't appear on an empty wiki. WDYT? I let you make some comments about this. Thanks, Caty & Louis-Marie [1] http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/AppBar

[xwiki-devs] [ANN] 10 years of the XWiki open source project!
by Vincent Massol 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Hi everyone, On the 15th of December (i.e. in a month's time), it will be **10 years** since the first commit on the XWiki open source project. Ludovic did the first commit in CVS on Sourceforge: " 15.12.2003 10:13:33, by ludovic Initial revision " (Can be seen at http://svnsearch.org/svnsearch/repos/XWIKI/search?from=20030101&to=20040101 ) 10 years is starting to be some respectable milestone! I invite everyone to join us in celebrating by adding your own story about your interaction with the XWiki community or the XWiki software at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/TenYearsOfXWiki <XWiki SAS hat> Since I'm also the CTO of the XWiki SAS company, I'd like to officially invite all the members of this great community to join us in celebrating the 10 days of the XWiki project at the XWiki SAS office in Paris, France on the 12th of December 2013. Here's the invitation: http://www.xwiki.com/lang/en/News/XWiki+10th+Anniversary See you there! </XWiki SAS hat> Well done everyone! -Vincent Massol

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Cleaning our POM deps by explicitly listing used dependencies?
by Vincent Massol 06 Jun '14

06 Jun '14

Hi devs, Running mvn dependency:dependency-analyze produces interesting results. For example: [INFO] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [INFO] Building XWiki Commons - Properties 3.2-SNAPSHOT [INFO] --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- … [INFO] --- maven-dependency-plugin:2.3:analyze (default-cli) @ xwiki-commons-properties --- [WARNING] Used undeclared dependencies found: [WARNING] org.slf4j:slf4j-api:jar:1.6.1:compile [WARNING] javax.inject:javax.inject:jar:1:compile [WARNING] Unused declared dependencies found: [WARNING] org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-component-api:jar:3.2-SNAPSHOT:compile [WARNING] org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-test:jar:3.2-SNAPSHOT:test [WARNING] org.hibernate:hibernate-validator:jar:4.2.0.Final:test [WARNING] org.hamcrest:hamcrest-core:jar:1.1:test [WARNING] org.jmock:jmock:jar:2.5.1:test The question is (for this module but more generally for all others): * Should we add slf4j and javax.inject reps in the pom.xml for this module? (for ex today slf4j and javax.inject are found in the component-api dep) I think we should, wdyt? Note that the "Unused declared dependencies found:" doesn't always generate correct results as is the case here. This is mostly because it's a static byte code check so any dep used at runtime will be considered unused. See http://www.sonatype.com/books/mvnex-book/reference/optimizing-sect-dependen… Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Users are in need of a reusable Tree view of pages, what can we do?
by vincent＠massol.net 04 Jun '14

04 Jun '14

Hi devs, I’ve noticed a recurring trend from our users: a lot of them seem to wish to display Tree views/navigation view of their wiki pages either in page content or in a panel. When they go to e.x.o, there’s a lot of extensions listed (showing that other users had this need previously) but none really work well: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/WebHome#|t=extensions&… We do have a tree view in AllDocs but it’s not perfect and it’s not easily reusable. Thus I believe we need to find an official solution to this tree view issue. The easiest solution could be to create a wiki macro based on our current tree view so that it can be reused in wiki pages and more importantly in a panel. Having a “spaces” parameter to restrict the list of spaces to display would be nice too. WDYT? Any other idea? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Drop support for IE8 for 6.x
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi devs, This mail is about voting to drop support for IE8 in 6.x cycle. The issue is more complicated, since according to our 'Browser Support Strategy' [1] we are supporting IE8, IE9 and the latest versions of FF, Chrome (+ Safari5). IE8 was released in March 2009 (4 years ago) IE9 - March 2011 (2 years ago) IE10 - Sept 2012 (17 months ago) IE11 - Oct 2013 (4 month ago) With the release of IE11 some companies also dropped their support for IE9, so we should also adjust our support strategy by supporting newer browsers (IE10, IE11) and dropping the support for old ones (IE8, IE9). According to Statcounter for the last 6 month period http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version-ww-monthly-201309-201402-bar the most popular IE browsers are IE10 (8.48%) and IE8 (7.98%). While the market share is not neglectable there is something you need to consider: In 6.x we want to add a new skin: Flamingo. Ideally this skin should be responsive. In order to assure responsiveness we need media query support. IE8 doesn't has support for media query natively, we would need Respond.js [2] to enable it. While this solution exist, 6.x will be ready at the end of 2014 when I suspect the market share for IE8 will drop. Additional to not having media query support, there are other CSS3 properties and HTML5 elements that are not fully supported by IE8 (border-radius, box-shadow, transition, etc.). This is my +1 to drop support for IE8 in 6.x Thanks, Caty [1] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BrowserSupportStrategy [2] https://github.com/scottjehl/Respond

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Hidden wikis & template wikis
by Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau 15 Apr '14

15 Apr '14

Hi devs. In the coming 5.3 milestone 2, all wikis are displayed in the Wiki Index, including the templates, which was not the case before. >From the user point of view, maybe these templates should not be listed in the Wiki Index. But on the other hand, if you want to see a template, you will not be able to access through the wiki index. We also have introduced the "hidden" flag for wikis (in the WikiDescriptor, not in the UI yet). If we consider template wikis are "technical" wikis, we may use this flag to hide them. Then, in the Wiki Index, we don't care if a wiki is a template or not, we only care about the "hidden" flag. If the user does not want to see the templates in the list, she can mark them as hidden, exactly as we do for documents. But what about the template list in the wiki creation wizard? Should we list all templates, or only the visible ones? My proposition: - all wikis are visible though the wiki index (template or not). - if we want to hide templates to the users, we use the hidden flag in the wiki descriptor. - in the wiki creation wizard, we display all the templates, even these which are tagged as hidden. WDYT? Thanks, Louis-Marie

[xwiki-devs] Decode HTML
by DeHaynes 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

I have some groovy code and in it I am grabbing the value from a field and storing it in an object. When the value has spaces, it is encoded with " ". Is there a way to remove HTML encoding from a string? I looked in Util and didn't see anything. Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Decode-HTML-tp7589862.html Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] Looking for help with groovy

I am trying to modify the following code so when the user enters a new documentName, it will set the title and rename the document. If I uncomment the saveDocument line, it works.
