[xwiki-devs] [GSoC] [coding sample Jira issues]
by Krzysiek Płachno 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Hello, I want to do some JIRA task as a part of my application for GSoC. I encountered some doubts. 1. I asked questions in comments in 2 issues. Is it the proper way of discussing them or should I ask about them on mailing list? Links to those issues: https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13496?filter=10534 https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-12704?filter=10534 2. When I do fixes on my local repository and I want to create Pull Request I need to upload them to one of remote branches - typically branch created specially for my fix, right? It seems that option of creation branches on github is disabled for externals like me. How can I upload my fixes and create PR, then? 3. I've searched dev guides and also names of created branches on github. What's the convention for proper naming of bugfix or feature branches? Examples that I found are following: "feature-XWIKI-12544", "feature-alfresco-link" or simply id of ticket: "XWIKI-7553" I know that I sit down to coding a bit late, but I hope I'll manage do upload at least one Pull Request before deadline. Best, Krzysiek P.S. I haven't encountered any Java project so far in which the code convention was to put opening curl bracket '{' in new line :)

[xwiki-devs] Updated Query Macro
by Ludovic Dubost 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

Hi, I've updated the query generator and query macro to make it work again with XWiki and without the Query Plugin. http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Query%20Generator Vincent you might be interested because it means you can also remove the aspects to keep the displaySearch, makeQuery and other related functions, which all require the QueryPlugin.

[xwiki-devs] [GSoC] More extension repositories
by Krzysiek Płachno 02 Apr '17

02 Apr '17

Hi, I'm about to prepare a plan and timeline with milestones for the task "More extension repositories ". The page with design details ( http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/ExtensionManagerRepositories) gives 10 examples of repositories to set an integration with, whilst the description of task on XWiki GSoC information sub page refers only to 3: Nexus , Bintray , Pypi ( http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Moreextensionreposit…) . So the task for GSoC work includes integration with all those 10, or just those 3? I need to know it to plan well the milestones. Best, Krzysztof

[xwiki-devs] Glossary Application
by Sarthak Gupta 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

Hi, On the IRC, I asked about the meaning of the term "Rendering transformation". I went through the Rendering Framework doc and found that 'Rendering' is just a way to convert the DOM (Data Object Model: it connects different programming languages) into a valid output which is shown to the user. Now in the project "Glossary Application" , the idea is to present a list of definitions in the glossary app. I wanted to inquire if the definitions of the 'technical terms'(words which a user while going through the x-wiki page will find difficult to understand) of the x-wiki page is to be listed in the glossary app? And when user clicks on that word then a new page opens listing the definition of that term, feature etc? Thanks :)
