Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Upgrade to xowiki 0.52

That was it, cheers for that.

the adp portlets stuff should be weeded out. The most recent documentation is on alice.wu-wien.ac.at:8000, but someone has killed the server there. should be up again soon.

I'm having the same problem after upgrading to xowiki0.52.

I have two customized adp pages placed under the xowiki/www/portlets directory. They worked fine before the upgrade.

One of them receives two parameters and the other one doesn't receive any. The one that doesn't receive parameters is working fine (using the first case syntaxis below), whereas with the other one I get this error:

1. line in xowiki: {{adp /packages/xowiki/portlets/wwwgradient-public-blog {package_id 2370}}}

error message:
Error in '{{adp /packages/xowiki/portlets/wwwgradient-public-blog {package_id 2370}}' in en:main_page (unmatched open brace in list)
Syntax: adp < name of adp-file> {< argument list>}
Invalid argument list: '/packages/xowiki/portlets/wwwgradient-public-blog {package_id 2370'; must be attribute value pairs (even number of elements)
}

2. line in xowiki: {{adp /packages/xowiki/portlets/wwwgradient-public-blog -package_id 2370}}

error message:
Error in '{{adp /packages/xowiki/portlets/www/gradient-public-blog -package_id 2370}}'
Syntax: adp < name of adp-file> {< argument list>}
Invalid argument list: '-package_id'; must be attribute value pairs (even number of elements)

3. line in xowiki: {{gradient-public-blog -package_id 2370}}

error message:
Error: includelet 'gradient-public-blog' unknown

Finally, copy&paste the syntaxis of the doc page http://alice.wu-wien.ac.at:8000/xowiki-doc/#adp-includes) also gives an error:

1. xowiki line: {{adp /packages/calendar/www/mini-calendar {view day base_url /dotlrn/calendar/}}}

error message:
Error in '{{adp /packages/calendar/www/mini-calendar {view day base_url /dotlrn/calendar/}}' in en:main_page (unmatched open brace in list)
Syntax: adp < name of adp-file> {< argument list>}
Invalid argument list: '/packages/calendar/www/mini-calendar {view day base_url /dotlrn/calendar/'; must be attribute value pairs (even number of elements)
}

Thanks in advance,

the file upload function seems to have gone AWOL too.

if you look at the braces of your example 1, you see problem: The parenthesis are not parsed correctly. if you change the line to

{{adp /packages/xowiki/portlets/wwwgradient-public-blog {package_id 2370} }}

the matching of double curly parenthesis will work again. When the adp tag is used within curly braces, xowiki does not do further processing of the arguments, so your attempt #2 will now work, since this is not a valid syntax for adp includes. Omitting adp in your example 3 does not help either, since you have obviously only an adp include file. The includelet syntax without "adp "is allowed only for including other pages and for library based includelets, which are similar to widgets (see {{available-includelets}}).

The problem occurred due to double-parenthesis matching with regular expressions, which has its limits. i have changed for now the regular expression for the matching of the closing parenthesis into double-parenthesis followed by white space, so, actually the first example should work again in the updated version in cvs.

Finally, i would not recommend for casual xowiki users to use currently the version from cvs head. i am working on major extensions and restructurings, so it is not so unlikely that whatever version you get might have some issues. A more safe policy is to take versions that i announced in the forums (use for checkout the date of the release notes) or to wait for the next released version with release notes.

I'm having a bit fo a nightmare with this today!

I followed your advice and installed version 0.47, now when I try to go to the admin pages of an xowiki instance I am getting the following: (Same thing with 0.48 too. I tried a version from head again and it had problems with oacs-view with the category tree)

Thanks so much for your help, I'm determined to get a working version as this package has so much to offer!

We are running 0.37 in production so I'll try going straight to version 0.47 from there as that seems like a reasonable release - I feel like I'm missing out if I go too low on the version! We're not due to release the stuff we're working on for a couple of months so maybe by then there will be a further stable upgrade.

Thanks for all of the help.
