[xwiki-devs] Regarding LDAP authentication
by Colin Tay 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hi all, I would like to know why the authenticate method in LDAPAuthServiceImpl is executed 3 times when whenever a user login. (Regardless whether the user exists in the database) I am currently trying to update the database whenever the user attributes fetched from the active directory is different from the one in the database. Thanks in adv, Colin ______________________________________________________________________ Search, browse and book your hotels and flights through Yahoo! Travel. http://sg.travel.yahoo.com

[xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Release Platform/XE 1.2 final?
by Vincent Massol 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

Hi, I'd like to release Platform+XE 1.2 final today. Note that I've fixed a missing jar for the PDF export in 1.2RC3 (http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2002 ). I hope enough people have tested 1.2RC3 but if we still have some important bugs after 1.2 final is released we can always release a new 1.2.1 version. Here's my +1 Thanks -Vincent

Re: [xwiki-devs] Moving the xwiki.org skin as part of our distribution
by sachin mittal 16 Jan '08

Hi, I understand your point. I have again one doubt here. In the code we currently get the skin name and then generate the file path (for velocity files) such as skins/<skin name>/<vm file name>. If we go by option 2 then in this case if skin name is albatross we would have to generate path as templates/ and for rest we would continue to use the old file path. This would involve writing such if else condition in xwiki code. Would this be elegant way of handling skins? How would this be handled in the code.

Hi, I have few doubts here: Currently templates directory have their own vm files. So would the first task be copy the vm files under albatross directory to templates directory and merge the common templates file. Next other wiki skins have their own vm files and leaving them in their respective skins directory is not a good (uniform) idea. So these should also be moved (shouldn't it). Best would be to create sub directories under templates directory with same structure as skins directory. Lastly regarding your point: Another thing to do would be to "clean" the albatross templates so that they are lighter, generate less style elements, etc. I completely agree to this. In fact to get ExtJs working with the html content created by albatross vm files I had to delete lot of unnecessary style elements, merge lot of vm files in single files. I feel that vm files under albatross are lot scattered and having few compact vm files would be much better. Would this improve the performance too?

[xwiki-devs] Moving the xwiki.org skin as part of our distribution
by Vincent Massol 16 Jan '08

16 Jan '08

Hi, Just to let you know that I had a discussion with Laurent Lunati (the author of the xwiki.org skin) and we agreed on the following: * Laurent will modify the skin so that it can support layouts with panels on the left. There are also some little things to fix like the panel wizard, etc. Laurent will try his best to finish all this by 15th of Feb * On our side we need to do the following: - move all vm files into the templates dir so that the albatross skin is mostly CSS files + images - move skins out of the web/standard module - future (can be done later): create maven plugin to transform a file system skin into a XAR so that our skins can be easily installed on existing xwiki installations The idea would be to finish this work by the 15th of Feb, in time for the 1.3M2 release. Is anyone interesting in helping out for doing this? Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Curriki development how-to
by Paul Libbrecht 15 Jan '08

15 Jan '08

hello developers, I've been somewhat (but only somewhat) successfully building Curriki with mvn which, indeed, used the DB connection where I would install it. I would like to understand a bit more of the architecture... should I rather discuss it per email or open a wiki page that tries to sketch it ? Here's what I could see: - curriki is made of many modules, some of which are xwiki modules, some are own - some of the own resources are XWiki documents - the whole packaging ends up by building a web-archive and an xwiki- archive (the xwiki archive seems to contain a lot of the xwiki documents) - the build process seems to upload this web-archive to the DB (connected to a temporary curriki) it's easy then to deploy the web-archive and use. However the web-archive seems incomplete on the played. A simple one to check is Main/Board. I tried (re-)importing it but it complains that UselessPanel is not there. Three questions: - is all the above correct ? - is there another way to upload single xwiki documents ? - how are XWiki documents in source code edited ? (that's velocity in xml as far as I can see). thanks in advance paul
