Huge xwikircs table and terrible performances when reading it. * "Current wiki" wiki macros not available in the macros list in wysiwyg in path based multiwiki - XWIKI-7739 * Adding content (images, links, table, macros) is not working on WYSIWYG on IE10 - XWIKI-10283 * Make it easy to edit the dashboard on the home page - http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1382 * Welcome block is not easily editable - XE-1389 * User Directory should not show "xwiki:XWiki." for user id - XWIKI-10284 * Show date and time of the install and user who installed for an installed extension - XWIKI-10027 * Allow to force the installation of an extension even if dependencies are not satisfied - XWIKI-9827 * Add the possibility in AppWithinMinutes livetables settings to select a default sort on a column - http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-9659 Investigation: * Check if we need to improve the help in the Admin section of XWiki and if so make a proposal - Caty Dates ===== - 6.1M1: 19 may 2014 - 6.1M2: 9 june 2014 - 6.1RC1: 23 june 2014 - 6.1Final: 7 july 2014 Note that initially we had planned 6.1 final to be released in June so we’re already a bit late in the cycle which is why I put 6.1M1 for 19th of May. Please add the stuff you wish to work on if you’re not in the list above and with to commit to working on something for the 6.1 release! :) WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Integrate LESS css in XWiki
by Guillaume "Louis-Marie" Delhumeau 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hello. In 6.0, we have released a first version of Flamingo. It uses Bootstrap and the LESS preprocessor during the build to create the final style.css file. But currently, there is a serious regression compared to Colibri: it does not support color themes. So I have started a proposal about the color theme handling in Flamingo, that you can see there: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/ColorThemeforFlamingo My conclusion is that we need to integrate the LESS preprocesor on the runtime. This way, we can add velocity variables (corresponding to the color theme) in our LESS sources BEFORE the LESS preprocessor is launched. Doing the opposite, (process velocity after LESS) causes some problems that I have reported on the previous link. To me, it would be a good step ahead for proposing LESS to our users. Regarding this, some ideas are coming to me: - it is quite easy to integrate LESS since we can use Rhino to launch the LESS preprocessor (which is a javascript program). See: https://github.com/sandroboehme/lesscss-java - we need a cache system in order to not always compute the style.css served to the user (performances issue). - we need to add this in the "skin" action. - in the future, we also need to modify the skinx actions, to enable it for Skin Extensions. We also need to agree on the use of LESS instead of SASS. I have used LESS on Flamingo because Bootstrap has originally been written with it (although an official SASS port exists), so this choice is not based on a strong analysis. Anyway, it looks quite simple to move from one to the other and it is probably too soon to predict which of these 2 preprocessors will win on the long term. Do you think I am going in the right direction? Thanks for reading, Guillaume

[xwiki-devs] Jira not showing Git logs anymore?
by Paul Libbrecht 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hello fellow developers, we used to see Git commits linked to jira issues (in the activity I think). I was expecting one here: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/CURRIKI-6545 e.g that commit: https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/currikiorg/commit/b56edde328aabb19e5874fdc… Was something changed into the jira so that xwiki-contrib is not watched anymore? The feature seems to be still there for xwiki-platform. thanks in advance. paul

[xwiki-devs] Refresh a macro
by firmusoft.xwiki 13 May '14

13 May '14

Hi, I have a macro which displays all the objects of a class in a table. We can add a new object to the class also, using the macro. I want the newly added object listed in the table. Currently this happens only when I reload the page. Can we refresh a macro so that the table gets updated as soon as we add a new object? Please help me on this Thanks, Firmusoft

[xwiki-devs] [Brainstorming] Applications / Skin dependence
by Ecaterina Moraru (Valica) 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hi, With the new Flamingo skin and with the design investigations done on existing Applications, there are more and more questions related to: * how will the applications be displayed on the new skin, while conserving the same look on the old skin; * how much an application should preserve previous functionality and how many efforts are we putting in adapting the functionality for new layouts; * when do we create a new application vs. when do we retire one; * etc. This question applies in general to applications and you can also read some discussions about applications like Panels [1] or ColorThemes [2]. In this thread I want to discuss some variants related to application's presentation: http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/ApplicationPresentation#HVa… I am interested in our position regarding this topic and if we have like a 'standard' solution or if the answer depends on the application in cause. Thanks, Caty [1] http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/PanelsImprovements [2] http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/ColorThemeforFlamingo
