[xwiki-users] Adding objects to pages in inline mode
by xwikiadmin＠lazypapertiger.org 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hi Guys, I've been using xwiki for a while now, but have only "recently" started using v2 syntax. In v1 a trick I'd often use in apps was to have a nested <FORM> element to allow me to add some pre-filled objects to a page. Something like this: #set ($list = ["Problem", "Feature", "Question"]) <FORM> <SELECT name="field1"> #foreach ($item in $list) <OPTION value="$item">$item</OPTION> #end </SELECT> <INPUT type="submit" name="add" value="add" /> </FORM> Then you could just catch and use the selection: #if ($request.getParameter("add")) $doc.newObject("someclass").set("Field1", $request.getParameter("field1")) $doc.save() Obviously I've taken some shortcuts here. This approach fails to work in inline mode for some reason. My form definition seems to become subsumed by the overall form on the page now. So is there some way for me to declare that I want my form outside of the normal structure? Or is there some smarter way of approaching this problem? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Adam

[xwiki-users] Exposing PDF Export Options
by Thibaut Camberlin 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hi, I was writing a piece of code so that PDF export prints associated meta data of a page. Since I was in PDF macros code, I worked on a PDF export options page. By working on the PDF export options, I am using check boxes that allows user to choose to export or not cover page, toc page, metadata page attachments and comments. Issue I encountered is that when a check box is not checked it is not set and I found no way to use check boxes with actual code from pdfhtmlheader.vm page: #if("$!request.pdfcover" != '0') #set($displayPdfCover = 1) #else #set($displayPdfCover = 0) #end and the same for pdftoc (I could have put <input value="0"/> instead but it makes more sense to have <input value="1"/>) Therefore I am proposing that we: * update pdfhtmlheader.vm page so that cover and toc page are not exported by default * update existing pdf export button so that we keep the same behaviour (pdfcover and pdftoc printed in PDF), meaning instead of *page?format=pdf*it would be *page?format=pdf&pdftoc=1&pdfcover=1* Some UI will be needed afterward so that this page is exposed. (I am not planning to work on this.) The export options would be made in a template, but I put the code in this page of the incubator so that it makes things clearer if needed: http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/PDFExport/ExportOptions Thanks for your feedback on pdfhtmlheader.vm modification and on the feature itself. -- Thibaut

[xwiki-users] FOSDEM 2011: presence of XWiki devs
by Vincent Massol 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hi everyone, FOSDEM (http://www.fosdem.org/2011/) is around the corner (5-6 feb 2011) and some XWiki developers are going: - Anca Luca - Ludovic Dubost - Jerome Velociter - Oana Tabaranu Anca will also give a talk on 6th February, from 14:40 to 14:55 PM, on annotations : "XWiki: Annotating documents, the eXtensible wiki way". Summary: " Since version 2.3, XWiki integrates document annotations in its collaborative environment (http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Annotations+Application) This talk will focus on the implementation of the annotation feature, with the challenges that an eXtensible wiki implies: handling user collaboration on documents and annotations, annotating dynamically generated content, flexible annotations structure to allow customization. As a default XWiki feature, it allows users to add notes on all types of content, plain unstructured documents or structured documents. It is also used in the Scribo project (http://www.scribo.ws) to manipulate automatic semantic annotations on wiki documents and collaboration around them. Since a demo is worth a thousand words, the presentation will center upon showing all these at work. " So if you intend to go to FOSDEM let us know here and it would be cool to meetup. Some details here: http://www.xwiki.com/xwiki/bin/view/Blog/XWiki%20Fosdem Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-users] Darkened background during file upload dialog problem
by Scardino, Leonard R Jr ERDC-ITL-MS Contractor 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

I'm having a bit of an odd issue. When I go into the WYSIWYG editor and click "Link" -> "Attached File" (or any of the others), when the dialog box comes up and the regular page in the background is darkened, my window width expands to a huge width. Admittedly this doesn't stop the user from doing anything, but it's annoying and shouldn't happen. I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me why this is happening and how to fix it. Some additional info that I think may be pertinent. The skin I've created is a fixed width of 870px justified to the left. Also, this occurs in both Firefox 3.6.13 and Explorer 8, so I don't think it's a browser issue. Thanks for any help, Lenny

[xwiki-users] Using brackets in Pagename
by Wouter de Vos 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

Hello all, I created a new page within a space, and named it page "1". Now, when I create a child from page "1" it shows the correct breadrumb navigation in edit mode, but as soon as i save it, it calls the parent page, instead of page "1". Can it be that I am not allowed to use "" in the page name? Anyone had this problem? I can still rename the page ofcourse and hope all is well, but I would like to keep it as is. Thanks in advance, -wouter
