Re: [xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Change the default blog post layout to 'image' layout
by Denis Gervalle 23 Jul '17

23 Jul '17

Hi Mohamed, Obviously, I am +1 for the new default, since it is also my proposal. Regarding the image for the introductory blog post, I would use a more photo like an image, to be more demonstrative, illustrating blogging, writing, office or whatever, maybe with an X in it somewhere. Be careful about the copyrights of the image, of course. Thanks, -- Denis Gervalle SOFTEC sa - CEO On Sun, Jul 23, 2017 at 14:55, Mohamed Boussaa <mohamed.boussaa(a)xwiki.com> wrote: Hello XWikiers, Starting from the version 9.4 of the Blog application we introduced the notion of blog post layouts (see details here: http://extensions.xwiki.org/ xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Blog%20Application). Currently when a user creates/edit a blog he has the possibility to select the layout of the blog posts, 2 layouts are available FTM: the Calendar layout (default) and the image layout. The image layout uses an image thumbnail in order to allow a more visual and appealing display of the blog posts this is why an image selector was added to the blog post form. Because the default layout is 'Calendar' the image selector on the blog post form can be confusing for the user because the uploaded image doesn't appear anywhere. This proposal is about changing the default blog posts layout from 'Calendar' to 'image' in order to avoid the confusion. I propose to: - Change the default post layout to 'image' layout for new blogs - Change the layout of the default Blog to 'image' layout - Add an image to the introduction blog post created when installing the blog app. Find attached some examples of images that can be used on the introduction post. - On the blog post form add a short description to the image selector to explain the objective of the image. *Introduction blog post images* *1) * *2)* *3) * *4)* ** WDYT? Thanks, Mohamed

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Changes in Macro Browser
by Vincent Massol 20 Jul '17

20 Jul '17

Hi devs, Needs: * We need some “Deprecated” macro category so that users understand when a macro is deprecated and are less tempted to use it * We need to not show “Internal” macros by default to not “pollute” the Macro list by default Proposal: * When the “All Macros” is selected display all macros *except* those from 2 categories: “Deprecated” and “Internal”. * If the user needs/wants to use those macros, he’ll need to explicitly select those categories. * When we want to deprecate a Macro we move it from its category to the “Deprecated” category, before removing it further in the future (when is to be defined on an adhoc basis) Technical details: * Change https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-ckeditor/blob/master/plugins/s… to implement this new behavior WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Bundle Syntax Highlighting Extension in the Standard flavor
by Vincent Massol 17 Jul '17

17 Jul '17

Hi devs, I’d like to propose that we bundle the Syntax Highlighting Extension in the Standard flavor, starting with XWiki 9.7RC1. Rationale: * No impact for simple users (ie the default) * For advanced users, it makes editing pages using the wiki editor much nicer * It’s already a recommended extension on e.x.o and I’m willing to continue supporting it (and I’m sure Edy is interested in doing that too - Right Edy?) See http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Syntax%20Highlighting%… for more details. TBH I don’t really understand why we haven’t bundled this a long time ago. Does anyone see any issue in bundling it? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [GSOC Update 4][Design] RedPen Integration
by deshengchuan 11 Jul '17

11 Jul '17

Good day to all. First, a quick update on the current status of the redpen extension: It is now renamed as Content Checker, in consideration of implementing other document checking technology in the future. Also content checker's results are currently shown as logs, and the messages are split into warnings and errors. Also, during automatic validation of a document on save, if an error exists, the save is canceled. Next, I am in the middle of adding most of the available validators from redpen as a configurable setting. However there are validator settings that require a dictionary i.e. Invalid words, suggested words and expressions. To this end, I plan to reformat the application homepage, to add a select field before the user enters into the text input fields, indicating whether the entry for invalid words or for suggested words and expressions. Further, I have been looking for a way to extract the live table data within Java, but have been unable to. Is there a way to do it? Lastly, as the number of validation settings pile up, I plan to reformat the UI of the configurable class of my app to one that is tabbed, like the WYSIWYG configurable class in the administration wiki, to achieve a cleaner look. I would greatly appreciate any comments on the above implementation plans, thanks! -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/GSOC-Update-4-Design-RedPen-Integration-t… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
