Re: [xwiki-users] UIExtension Access document holding the UIExtension object
Hi,
Using:

creator = $doc.creatorReference
hasAdmin = $services.authorization.checkAccess(‘ADMIN’, $doc.authorReference)

Any way to access the holding Document?

I guess you already know about
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/UIExtension+Module ?
$services.uix.getExtensions returns a List and UIExtension is:
public interface UIExtension
{
/**
* @return the ID of this extension
*/
String getId();
/**
* @return the ID of the extension point this UI extension is providing an
extension for
*/
String getExtensionPointId();
/**
* A map of parameters provided by the extension. When providing a new
Extension Point the developer must document
* the list of parameters he requires.
*
* @return a map of parameters provided by the extension
*/
Map<String, String> getParameters();
/**
* @return the {@link Block} that must be rendered when this extension is
displayed
*/
Block execute();
}
So as you can see there’s no way to return anything else here.
However, when you define your UIX you can pass any number of parameters (which
are retrieved through calling getParameters() on UIExtension).
So you could have params like:
name = $doc.documentReference (or $doc.fullName)
title = $doc.title
creator = $doc.creatorReference
hasAdmin = $services.authorization.checkAccess(‘ADMIN’, $doc.authorReference)

You could open a jira issue to request an improvement.
FWIW and FYI the code is here:
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/4533b98fb45a9010198582a7053bc67e0b81b26d/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-uiextension/xwiki-platform-uiextension-api/src/main/java/org/xwiki/uiextension/internal/WikiUIExtensionParameters.java#L159-L159

My suggested work-around would be to use the ExtensionID; and with that ID
perform a XWQL query on object of UIExetensionClass where ExtensionID =
:ExtensionID(from the uiExtension)
Off course this would require Unique ExtensionID's but that would anyway be a
good-practice?

yes

I have set the rights of a page holding an UIExtension object to DENY VIEW to
$guest
The UIExtension will still show:
#set($dashboardMenuItems =
$services.uix.getExtensions('dashboard.mainMenu.items',{'sortByParameter' :
'displayorder'}) )
But then performing the XWQL to access meta information of that page works as
expected: it does not return any information
But I consider it kind of kinky that the object is showing in the
getExtensions? Or not?

I guess you already know about
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/UIExtension+Module ?
$services.uix.getExtensions returns a List and UIExtension is:
public interface UIExtension
{
/**
* @return the ID of this extension
*/
String getId();
/**
* @return the ID of the extension point this UI extension is providing an
extension for
*/
String getExtensionPointId();
/**
* A map of parameters provided by the extension. When providing a new Extension
Point the developer must document
* the list of parameters he requires.
*
* @return a map of parameters provided by the extension
*/
Map<String, String> getParameters();
/**
* @return the {@link Block} that must be rendered when this extension is
displayed
*/
Block execute();
}
So as you can see there’s no way to return anything else here.
However, when you define your UIX you can pass any number of parameters (which
are retrieved through calling getParameters() on UIExtension).
So you could have params like:
name = $doc.documentReference (or $doc.fullName)
title = $doc.title
creator = $doc.creatorReference
hasAdmin = $services.authorization.checkAccess(‘ADMIN’, $doc.authorReference)

You could open a jira issue to request an improvement.
FWIW and FYI the code is here:
https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/4533b98fb45a9010198582a7053bc67e0b81b26d/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-uiextension/xwiki-platform-uiextension-api/src/main/java/org/xwiki/uiextension/internal/WikiUIExtensionParameters.java#L159-L159

I guess you already know about
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/UIExtension+Module ?
$services.uix.getExtensions returns a List and UIExtension is:
public interface UIExtension
{
/**
* @return the ID of this extension
*/
String getId();
/**
* @return the ID of the extension point this UI extension is providing an
extension for
*/
String getExtensionPointId();
/**
* A map of parameters provided by the extension. When providing a new
Extension Point the developer must document
* the list of parameters he requires.
*
* @return a map of parameters provided by the extension
*/
Map getParameters();
/**
* @return the {@link Block} that must be rendered when this extension is
displayed
*/
Block execute();
}
So as you can see there’s no way to return anything else here.
However, when you define your UIX you can pass any number of parameters (which
are retrieved through calling getParameters() on UIExtension).
So you could have params like:
name = $doc.documentReference (or $doc.fullName)
title = $doc.title
creator = $doc.creatorReference
hasAdmin = $services.authorization.checkAccess(‘ADMIN’, $doc.authorReference)
...
Hope it helps,

[xwiki-users] UIExtension Access document holding the UIExtension object
Hi,
We have pages having ONE UIExtension objects of XWiki.UIExtensionClass.
Using as
$services.uix.getExtensions('dashboard.mainMenu.items',{'sortByParameter' :
'displayorder'})
With a #foreach loop we can access all the parameters. (and other extension
properties)
But is it possible to get the page information (Name, Title, Creator, Rights)
The use case is that we want a dynamic menu based on that information?
The following did not give the desired result:
#set($dashboardMenuItems =
$services.uix.getExtensions('dashboard.mainMenu.items',{'sortByParameter' :
'displayorder'}) )
#foreach($dashboardMenuItem in $dashboardMenuItems)
#set($dashboardMenuItemDocument = $xwiki.getDocument($dashboardMenuItem))
#end
