[xwiki-devs] Interest in GSoC with XWiki
by Christian Pels 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hello All, I am writing this to be a self introductory mail to the XWiki community. I am a Computer Engineering student at the University of Duisburg Essen, Germany. I am interested in the undertaking the Android related project for Summer of Code,I am interested primarily in the long term project of building a library to be used in XWiki android clients. In the area of programming capabilities, I have experience with the tools and technologies as detailed on the xwiki development wiki, I primarily use Eclipse and have used Maven, Ant, Git and others for several school and personal project (Android applications). (I am looking forward though to getting more exposure on these and others by joining and using them in an open source community). I have been able to checkout the source, but kinda in a jungle now, because there are a lot of projects. Will be glad if any one can point me in the right direction, with regards to where I should look first in relationship to the project I want to undertake. Regards. -- Chris Pels

That's not needed. The application logic is already handled by XWiki, this is by definition what XWiki applications do. I suggest reading and following the FAQ tutorial in order to understand better how structured data works in XWiki, and to see in which context the form editor is needed: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/DevGuide/FAQTutorial > Moreover, we can also add > style for each field where user can define its style according to its choice > and we can also provide the style sheet for the whole form also. The form editor should not be too complex, it should offer an easy way of editing simple forms. This allows the UI to remain easy to use and understand, and also ensures a consistent look of different applications in the same wiki. For more complex forms, there's the lower-level class editor and the scripting support in the class sheet. For styling support in XWiki, you should take a look at SkinExtensions: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/DevGuide/SkinExtensionsTutorial > User will select the type of the field for example in the form there are > certain fields which get insert ,some gets updated when the form gets > submitted,so according to the nature and requirement, user will enter the > type of the field.Types can be "INSERT","UPDATE","VIEW" etc. Again, follow the FAQ tutorial to see that there's no need for such low-level database operations. See also a bit more documentation about the data model: http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/DevGuide/DataModel > So for this we can use the resources which is present in the xwiki,in that > we have all the fully functional fields , we can make any field , so our > work will now to provide the interface for the user where he can drag/drop > the fields and also provide the interface for the style part and also to > create the action file and rendering file which would render the > requirement. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

[xwiki-devs] Ideas For AJAX Form Editor
by nikhil gupta 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Hello, I have gone though the form editing part of the xwiki,where we can include the fields according to the requirement. As per the requirement of our project (AJAX FORM EDITOR) we have to provide one USER INTERFACE for the user through which he can drag /drop the fields according to his form requirement. We can extend this idea a little bit .We will not only provide the form generation part but also include its action part i.e user will give the name of the database where the action has to take place(if have to insert the record or update the record in the database).Moreover, we can also add style for each field where user can define its style according to its choice and we can also provide the style sheet for the whole form also. User will select the type of the field for example in the form there are certain fields which get insert ,some gets updated when the form gets submitted,so according to the nature and requirement, user will enter the type of the field.Types can be "INSERT","UPDATE","VIEW" etc. So for this we can use the resources which is present in the xwiki,in that we have all the fully functional fields , we can make any field , so our work will now to provide the interface for the user where he can drag/drop the fields and also provide the interface for the style part and also to create the action file and rendering file which would render the requirement.

Note that this not correct and you've just removed one test which was to check that the current tab is the Comments tab. This needs to be rolled-back (or another test that verifies that the comments tab is the first one needs to be added) and the comments tab needs to be put back as the first tab (this was discussed on IRC yesterday).

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] Use "colortheme" for the home dashboard by default
by Vincent Massol 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi devs, I'd like to suggest we use {{dashboard style="colortheme"/}} by default on the main dashboard for the following reasons: 1) the default style has a heading size issue and it's hard for the dashboard to guess the correct size in all situations 2) it clearly shows it's a dashboard WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] anonymous user / custom authentication
by Kevin P. Foote 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi devs, In writing my own auth plugin I want the ability to run XWiki in anonymous browsing mode as well as the login request triggering my particular auth jar (much like xwiki.org - you can many pages w/out actually authenticating). I have two resulting questions. 1) Is there a magic user name in the form of XWiki."anonymous"/Guest etc.. that I can return in my checkAuth? OR am I thinking about this incorrectly and xwiki already knows that this user is who the context is representing.. 2) I see in reading the xwiki.cfg and tutuorials on how to run your own authentication code that there is a way to override the login page within the config. Is there also a way to "override" the call to the login? I know in (cough,cough) confluence they have a seraph mechanism that you can override what the login action is... looking for something similar here.. I've thought of perhaps using an apache rewrite rule on the login/XWikiLogin page to trigger my auth Thanks guys.. ------ thanks kevin.foote

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Change default published date for XWikiDocument#getDate() instead of instead of #getCreationDate()
by Thomas Mortagne 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi devs, I was looking at http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-5336 and basically I'm like Jens, I don't understand why we are using creation date in feed plugin. So I'm proposing to change it for date (last version date). FYI I'm planning to change protected Date getDefaultPublishedDate(Document doc, Map<String, Object> params, XWikiContext context) { return doc.getCreationDate(); } to protected Date getDefaultPublishedDate(Document doc, Map<String, Object> params, XWikiContext context) { return doc.getDate(); } in com.xpn.xwiki.plugin.feed.SyndEntryDocumentSource WDYT ? Here is my +1. -- Thomas Mortagne

[xwiki-devs] Question for search the resources in dev mailing list
by 许凌志(Jamesxu) 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

I am the beginner contributor of xwiki, and I need to find helps like how to get the source files, and how to compile them properly , and maybe some other problems when I am going on. I think most of the quesion at the begginning might be disscussed before in the mailing list. Is there any search tools for such kind information? -- Best wishes, 许凌志(Jame Xu) MOE KLINNS Lab and SKLMS Lab, Xi'an Jiaotong University Department of Computer Science and Technology, Xi’an Jiaotong University

[xwiki-devs] [Design] Message stream privacy and visibility
by Sergiu Dumitriu 21 Mar '11

21 Mar '11

Hi devs, I wrote two design proposals regarding the new message stream functionality (a.k.a. user status). - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Design/UserMessagesVisibility specifies what kind of messages (and wiki activity) should be displayed in different contexts, like what should I see in my network tab, what should I see when I visit another user's profile, etc. - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/Design/UserMessagesPrivacy specifies some privacy requirements regarding messages, both from the read and write perspective, like should I be able to see messages for a given group, can I send a direct message to another user, etc. Any feedback is welcome. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
