[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XWiki Tools Reorganization
by Vincent Massol 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Hi, I'm proposing a reorg of our tools releases. Here are the proposed changes: 1) Release each tool module separately from the others. This means creating one jira project per tools module. Since there'll be plenty I'll also create a new jira category called "XWiki Tools" 2) Remove the build-tools/ directory and move all tools directly in xwiki-platform-tools 3) Rename some tools as a consequence of 2). Here are the renames I propose: build-verifications --> xwiki-verification-resources build-xar-handlers --> xwiki-xar-handlers build-xar-plugin --> xwiki-xar-plugin build-xmldoc-update-plugin --> xwiki-xmldoc-update-plugin shared-tests --> xwiki-shared-tests xwiki-configuration-resources (no change) xwiki-jetty-resources (no change) packager --> xwiki-packager-plugin 4) Remove cryptpasswords and instead move it to the sandbox Let me know quickly what you think since I'd like to make those changes in the coming hours so that Jerome can release what he needs to XWiki Watch. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] few questions about plugins and rights
by antoine SEILLES 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

Well you can see progress of my experimentation based on xwiki platform there: http://apeiron.lirmm.fr:9006/xwiki I develop a plugin to annotate documents and use it to debate. And I still have some questions: How to add an url to an annotation (my plugin) ? Indeed we want to add annotation to annotation. And so we need to open an annotation as a document in xwikicontent div. Currently, to see the annotation form you need to get comment right. I have set this right allowed to xwikiallgroup. But, if you don't have the edit right, you cannot submit the form. Submitting the form call the method : $doc.getURL('objectadd') So how can i resolve this problem? Maybe creating a new method to add annotation? But how to do that? And last question, where can i see wiki editor comportment? Thank for your time Antoine SEILLES

[xwiki-devs] annotation plugin: how to access properties of a plugin
by antoine SEILLES 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

I have an AnnotationPluginApi.java class and i have a method to get all the annotations associated to a document: public Vector getAnnotations(Document doc){ return doc.getObjects("AnnotationClass"); } Now i'd like to have a method to get all the annotations associated to a document having a specific value specified in parameters for one field : public Vector getAnnotations(Document doc, String field, String value) Wich should return all the annotations having the value "value" for the field "field". How to do that? In fact, how to access fields of my objects "AnnotationClass"? Thank for your time. Ps: in AnnotationPlugin i have this method: public BaseClass getAnnotationClass(XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException { XWikiDocument doc; XWiki xwiki = context.getWiki(); boolean needsUpdate = false; try { doc = xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.AnnotationClass", context); } catch (Exception e) { doc = new XWikiDocument(); doc.setSpace("XWiki"); doc.setName("AnnotationClass"); needsUpdate = true; } BaseClass bclass = doc.getxWikiClass(); bclass.setName("XWiki.AnnotationClass"); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField("author", "Author", 30); needsUpdate |= bclass.addDateField("created", "Created", "dd/MM/yyyy"); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextAreaField("comment", "Comment", 40, 5); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextAreaField("selection", "Selection", 40, 5); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextAreaField("reformulation", "Reformulation", 40, 5); needsUpdate |= bclass.addNumberField("begin", "Begin", 100, "integer"); needsUpdate |= bclass.addNumberField("end", "End", 100, "integer"); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField("emotion", "Emotion", 30); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField("judgmentUniversel", "JudgmentUniversel", 30); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField("judgmentParticulier", "JudgmentParticulier", 30); needsUpdate |= bclass.addTextField("domain", "Domain", 30); String content = doc.getContent(); if ((content == null) || (content.equals(""))) { needsUpdate = true; doc.setContent("1 AnnotationClass"); } if (needsUpdate) xwiki.saveDocument(doc, context); return bclass; }

[xwiki-devs] Lightbox proposals
by Evelina Slatineanu 07 Feb '08

07 Feb '08

From: Evelina Slatineanu [mailto:evelyne24@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 5:05 PM To: 'XWiki Developers' Subject: Lightbox proposals Hello all, Due to the fact that we want to make the lightbox a standard feature for xwiki and the current lightbox used for Users & Groups management is not quite complete (and the code needs to be cleaned a little bit), I was thinking that we need a "multi-purpose" lightbox that could support Ajax but still work fine without it (which is not the case of the current one), that could load media files (for instance .swf, quicktime movies etc), .pdf, pages containing frames, inline content (no Ajax) etc. Therefore we would need a nicer lightbox. So, there are 2 proposals from me: 1. To spend some time improving the current lightbox to support all the above (which will mean practically re-writing it FROM SCRATCH and will take some time - one, two weeks or more, depending of my time, as my priority now is Chronopolys) 2. Use one of the existing lightboxes that I found on the Internet (customized for xwiki), like: - LightWindow (using prototype and scriptaculous), which is quite complete and MIT - licenced http://www.wildbit.com/labs/modalbox/ - A lightbox based on yui library (which is already in the albatross and probably will remain.is quite a nice library imo), like the one below, which has the nice feature of being "movable": http://test.thecodecentral.com/demos/lightboxrev/lightbox.html - ModalBox, another lightbox using prototype + scriptaculous, which looks nice but I am not sure about the licence http://test.thecodecentral.com/demos/lightboxrev/lightbox.html and there are more out there on the web :P Personaly, I think the one with most features is LightWindow, but that would mean to keep scriptaculous framework . So, I would like your opinions on this matter (ideas, suggestions, maybe some other lightbox features you would like to have as standard in xwiki etc) Thanks, Evelina

[xwiki-devs] rights to addObject
by antoine 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Is there a right level required to call the method $doc.getURL('objectadd')? I have a form showed only to user with comment right.. But when they submit this form, if they don't have an admin or maybe edit right, they have an error "...not allowed to access this page...". So how can i call the method $doc.getURL('objectadd') or something that would have the same effect but with only comment right? Thank you

[xwiki-devs] Plugin API on code.xwiki.org
by Sergiu Dumitriu 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hi, I think it would be better to publish the plugin API javadoc on the XWiki site, instead of manually putting some pseudo java interface in a {code} block. We do the same for the platform-core, by uploading the generated javadoc jar and using the zipexplorer plugin to show the index page. Sergiu

[xwiki-devs] Evaluating curriki plugins (how to)
by Sachn Mittal 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Hi, I would like to evaluate certain plugins for my work namely (invitationmanager, currikispacemanager and spacemanager). I was going to some of the previous threads on curriki and found that we plan to migrate these plugins to xwiki core at a later date. So until these are done how can we test and evaluate these plugins. I am building xwiki directly from source and I have build the core platform and added enterprise app on top of it. One way to test is to build the curriki product itself. But since I have been working on the core app for some time and have made several extensions on top of it, I would like to continue with the same. So to test these plugins what applications or pages under xwiki\xwiki-product-curriki\wiki\src\main\resources do I need to import. I am fairly comfortable with xwiki architecture so I can do most myself, I just need to know how can I get started on this front with the three plugins.

We could use commons-lang/DateUtils.parse, which accepts an array of patterns, and tries them in order. vmassol (SVN) wrote: > Author: vmassol > Date: 2008-02-06 12:47:28 +0100 (Wed, 06 Feb 2008) > New Revision: 7312 > > Modified: > xwiki-platform/core/trunk/xwiki-core/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/objects/classes/DateClass.java > Log: > Better error reporting.
