7.2 | 34 | == Velocity macros to display users and groups == |
| |
1.1 | 35 | |
| |
7.1 | 36 | We extracted the code that displays in view mode a property of type 'List of Users' and 'List of Groups' from the corresponding custom displayers (found in ##displayer_users.vm## and ##displayer_groups.vm##) into two Velocity macros that can be used to display arbitrary users and groups, even when you don't have an object. Here's how you can use them: |
| |

7.1 | 38 | {{code language="none"}} |
| 39 | {{velocity}} | ||
| 40 | {{html wiki="true"}} | ||
| 41 | = Users = | ||
| 42 | == Just one == | ||
| 43 | #displayUser('XWiki.Admin') | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | == List of users == | ||
| 46 | #displayUser(['Admin', 'XWiki.mflorea']) | ||
| 47 | |||
| 48 | == A reference of a user == | ||
| 49 | #displayUser($xcontext.userReference) | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | == A list of references of users == | ||
| 52 | #displayUser([$xcontext.userReference, $otherUserReference]) | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | = Groups = | ||
| 55 | == Just one == | ||
| 56 | #displayGroup('XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup') | ||
| 57 | |||
| 58 | == List of groups == | ||
| 59 | #displayGroup(['XWikiAdminGroup','XWiki.HRGroup']) | ||
| 60 | |||
| 61 | == A reference of a group == | ||
| 62 | #set($adminGroupRef = $services.model.resolveDocument('XWiki.XWikiAdminGroup')) | ||
| 63 | #set($allGroupRef = $services.model.resolveDocument('XWiki.XWikiAllGroup')) | ||
| 64 | #displayGroup($adminGroupRef) | ||
| 65 | |||
| 66 | == A list of references of groups == | ||
| 67 | #displayGroup([$adminGroupRef, $allGroupRef]) | ||

 |
12.1 | 73 | == New Velocity tool $urltool == |
| 74 | |||
| |
12.2 | 75 | A [[new tool>>extensions:Extension.Velocity Module||anchor="HVelocityTools"]] has been added with one method to parse query string from the URL ##$urltool.parseQuery(String)##. The value returned by this is method is a ##Map<String, List<String>>## which maps parameter names to (possibly multiple) values, and can be passed e.g. directly into ##$escapetool.url(Map<String, ?>)## to convert it back to a string. |
| |
12.1 | 76 | This is useful e.g. in cases where one want to pass a complete query string around between requests, as it happend for the PDF export; the ##$urltool## allows for a sane deserialization of the value passed around. |

| 110 | When upgrading make sure you compare your ##xwiki.cfg##, ##xwiki.properties## and ##web.xml## files with the newest version since some configuration parameters may have been modified or added. Note that you should add ##xwiki.store.migration=1## so that XWiki will attempt to automatically migrate your current database to the new schema. Make sure you backup your Database before doing anything. | ||
