[xwiki-devs] Overwrite Method of Component in Velocity
by Matthias Wegner 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

Hi All, I want to create a component where i can overwrite a method of the component from velocity or groovy script inside a wiki page. Its also fine if i can "read" a groovy script to the component so i can use the defined logic. Maybe i have to use a own programmed macro for that. Is that possible? Do you use something similar somewhere? Regards, Matthias -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Overwrite-Method-of-Component-in-Velocity… Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[xwiki-devs] Fw: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Solr 5.0.0 and Reference Guide for Solr 5.0 released
by vincent＠massol.net 21 Feb '15

21 Feb '15

FYI. Could be interesting for us to upgrade. Don’t know if it’s backward compatible with 4.x or not though. Thanks -Vincent On 21 Feb 2015 at 01:05:53, Anshum Gupta (anshum(a)apache.org) wrote: 20 February 2015, Apache Solr™ 5.0.0 and Reference Guide for Solr 5.0 available The Lucene PMC is pleased to announce the release of Apache Solr 5.0.0 Solr is the popular, blazing fast, open source NoSQL search platform from the Apache Lucene project. Its major features include powerful full-text search, hit highlighting, faceted search, dynamic clustering, database integration, rich document (e.g., Word, PDF) handling, and geospatial search. Solr is highly scalable, providing fault tolerant distributed search and indexing, and powers the search and navigation features of many of the world's largest internet sites. Solr 5.0 is available for immediate download at: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/mirrors-solr-latest-redir.html See the CHANGES.txt file included with the release for a full list of details. Solr 5.0 Release Highlights: * Usability improvements that include improved bin scripts and new and restructured examples. * Scripts to support installing and running Solr as a service on Linux. * Distributed IDF is now supported and can be enabled via the config. Currently, there are four supported implementations for the same: * LocalStatsCache: Local document stats. * ExactStatsCache: One time use aggregation * ExactSharedStatsCache: Stats shared across requests * LRUStatsCache: Stats shared in an LRU cache across requests * Solr will no longer ship a war file and instead be a downloadable application. * SolrJ now has first class support for Collections API. * Implicit registration of replication,get and admin handlers. * Config API that supports paramsets for easily configuring solr parameters and configuring fields. This API also supports managing of pre-existing request handlers and editing common solrconfig.xml via overlay. * API for managing blobs allows uploading request handler jars and registering them via config API. * BALANCESHARDUNIQUE Collection API that allows for even distribution of custom replica properties. * There's now an option to not shuffle the nodeSet provided during collection creation. * Option to configure bandwidth usage by Replication handler to prevent it from using up all the bandwidth. * Splitting of clusterstate to per-collection enables scalability improvement in SolrCloud. This is also the default format for new Collections that would be created going forward. * timeAllowed is now used to prematurely terminate requests during query expansion and SolrClient request retry. * pivot.facet results can now include nested stats.field results constrained by those pivots. * stats.field can be used to generate stats over the results of arbitrary numeric functions. It also allows for requesting for statistics for pivot facets using tags. * A new DateRangeField has been added for indexing date ranges, especially multi-valued ones. * Spatial fields that used to require units=degrees now take distanceUnits=degrees/kilometers miles instead. * MoreLikeThis query parser allows requesting for documents similar to an existing document and also works in SolrCloud mode. * Logging improvements: * Transaction log replay status is now logged * Optional logging of slow requests. Solr 5.0 also includes many other new features as well as numerous optimizations and bugfixes of the corresponding Apache Lucene release. Detailed change log: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/5_0_0/changes/Changes.html Also available is the Solr Reference Guide for Solr 5.0. This 535 page PDF serves as the definitive user's manual for Solr 5.0. It can be downloaded from the Apache mirror network: https://s.apache.org/Solr-Ref-Guide-PDF Please report any feedback to the mailing lists (http://lucene.apache.org/solr/discussion.html) Note: The Apache Software Foundation uses an extensive mirroring network for distributing releases.

[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] [Discussion] Making XObjects work across languages
by Guillaume Lerouge 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi guys, I met an issue recently on a project. We'd like to build an XWiki-based website that will be available in several languages. We'd like to use structured data, which means using XObjects. Unfortunately at the moment XObjects are not internationalized: they're available only in one language, even if a page exists in 2+ languages. A common workaround is to either duplicate all fields in the object (say, "type_FR" and "type_EN") or have 1 object per language, with a field handling the language property. In either way, custom sheets need to be developed to make it possible to modify the various languages of the page. There is also an issue with the search: in which language should the object's content be indexed? One solution would be to make it possible to have international languages handled directly in XWiki (the same way than the default title / content fields are handled now), but I'm not sure how much work that would take. WDYT? Guillaume

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Automation Achievement Page on xwiki.org
by vincent＠massol.net 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi devs, We’re starting a new year and new development cycle (the 7.x one). It’s time to reflect back on what we did and what we wish to achieve and also what we wish to do better. I think it wouldn’t do any harm to the xwiki project that we continue automating stuff (more build/release process automation, more development automation, more documentation automation, more test writing automation, etc). Basically anything that makes us better at delivering the XWiki software. If you agree with this, I’d like to propose that we start filling a wiki page on xwiki.org dedicated to what we achieved. I’ve started such as page at http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Drafts/AutomationAchievements (the idea will be to move it somewhere in dev.xwiki.org if this proposal is accepted). At the moment I’ve put only a single item that I remember we did on the automation topic but the idea is that each one of us (us = the xwiki community at large) updates this page when he/she implements some new automation stuff. The goal of this page is several: * show appreciation to whoever helped improve XWiki’s automation * realize that we’re doing work on automation and see how much we achieve in a year. And thus be able to compare year to year and see how we fare. * provides emulation to all of us to do even more in this domain WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] So what is an extension flavor exactly ?
by Thomas Mortagne 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Hi devs, There is many ways to make an extension a flavor and we need to chose one. Here are a few I have in mind: 1) Extension of type FLAVOR (compared to XAR and JAR types for example) 2) A Boolean indicating if an extension is a flavor 2) A tag "Flavor" (or some of the name to be decided later) 3) A unique category "Flavor" (or some of the name to be decided later) I don't like 1) because a flavor does have anything special and I don't see the point of reimplementing a new extension type handler just to make an extension a flavor. I'm really not a fan for 2) either since it would makes this part of the core of extension API which I really don't like since flavor are XWiki runtime specific while you can use the xwiki-commons part of Extension Manager for many use cases that don't have anything to do with XWiki right now. So I'm hesitating between 3) and 4). When I started thinking about it I was more into 3) since we already have tags in XWiki Repository but since I saw that in both Android and IOS each application is in a unique category I'm tempted to change my mind and give my +1 to 3). Plus exposing categories is a nice new feature anyway. -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] [Vote] Add a cache directory concept and make the XWiki launch faster (was: Move the caches files to permdir and make the launch of XWiki faster)
by Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau 17 Feb '15

17 Feb '15

Thanks for your answers. I change the name of this thread since my proposal has changed: 1 - Add getCacheDirectory() in the class Environment: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-commons/blob/master/xwiki-commons-core/xwiki… It means breaking an interface. 2 - Add a cache directory setting in xwiki.properties, to change this directory if needed (for example: set a directory on a faster disk) 3 - For our distributions, set this cache directory in a folder inside our distributions (for example a "cache" directory aside the "data" directory). This setting can be changed by the user. 4 - Do not purge the LESS cache on startup. (see my previous mail for this) 5 - add a new module that pre-generate the LESS cache file to make the first XWiki launch faster (see my previous mail for this) +1 for all of this.

I find it silly that removing a few lines of code from a method that has unit tests can lower the ratio (there are less instructions tested but there are less instructions in total also). Not sure what you find silly because if some code is more tested than the rest of the code in the same module and if you remove that code (and thus the tests too), then it’s obvious that you will reduce the TPC (it’s a percentage). Maybe you have a wrong perception of what the TPC is? You seem to be wanting some fixed value (and not a percentage) but that doesn’t exist :) Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [ANN] CKEditor Integration in XWiki
by Marius Dumitru Florea 16 Feb '15

16 Feb '15

Hi guys, FYI I published an extension [1] that integrates the CKEditor [2] in XWiki. It can be installed through the Extension Manager and should work with any version greater than or equal to 6.2.5. I hope to add support for the missing features soon. Thanks, Marius [1] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/CKEditor+Integration [2] http://ckeditor.com/
