Re: [xwiki-users] Deleting admin user blocks execution of some pages

[Charlie Mann]

Mark,

You could try using the following extensions:

List Deleted Content Author Users
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/List+Deleted+Content+Au
thor+Users

Change Content Author
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Change+Content+Author

They have helped me in the past to clean up deleted users.

Charlie

Its not exactly that. It does recreate your user exactly as it was.
But restoring a the user does not automatically add it in groups since this
information is not stored in the user profile.

Re: [xwiki-users] A tool to convert terminal pages to Nested Pages

[Charlie Mann]

I tried this extension out on our test server where we are simulating
upgrading from 7.1.2 to 7.4.  It looks like it will be a very helpful tool
in converting to the new nested pages scheme.  One thing I did notice is
that one of our wikis that had a lot of nested pages under a space would
never show the migration plan.  It was as though it was frozen.

[xwiki-users] 6.4.3 Group Rights Issues

[Charlie Mann]

I have just upgraded our xWiki from 6.4.2 to 6.4.3 and noticed a change in
how group rights are handled.  We have a main wiki with 6 subwikis.  All
users are members of the main wiki.  In order to allow users rights to a
subwiki, we add them into a group in the main wiki and then give that group
access on the subwiki.  This worked great in 6.4.2, however with the upgrade
to 6.4.3, we get the following error when a user logs into a subwiki, even
though the user is in a group that has access to the subwiki.

 

(I have truncated the error message since it is long, but if you need more
of it I can include it)

 

Failed to execute the [include] macro. Click on this message for details.

Attempting to access a page within the subwiki gives this error:

 

Error

You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action.

 

Is the use of groups to give access to subwikis no longer allowed, or is
this an issue with 6.4.3?  In our test environment, I took our 6.4.3 XWiki
and switched back to the 6.4.2 deployment and things worked as expected,
however that really isn't an option as all of the extensions have been
upgraded to 6.4.3.  

 

If this isn't an issue with 6.4.3, then what is the best way to handle
delegating rights for users in our setup?

 

Thanks!

Charlie

Re: [xwiki-users] Cannot upgrade Enterprise UI Extension to 6.4.2

[Charlie Mann]

Thomas,

Thanks for the quick reply.  Here is a little more background on our
install.  We have a test server set up with a mirror of production and that
is where I am doing the upgrade testing, so I can go back to the current 6.3
at any time and redo the process till I get it right. We have a main wiki
with 7 or 8 subwikis.  Despite many different attempts, I have never been
able to get the Distribution Wizard to appear.   So we have taken to just
deploying the latest War file and then using the Extension Updater.  I
generally chose 'Check for updates on farm'.  This then provides me with a
list of extension that are out of date.  I then go through and update every
extension that is out of date.  This had worked with every upgrade I have
tried until 6.4.2.  It worked with 6.4.1 in our test environment, but we
didn't actually go to 6.4.1 in production because of some the issues present
in 6.4.1.

What is the best option here for the place we are at?  Should I try to get
the Distribution Wizard to appear so that it will handle the upgrade from
6.3 to 6.4.2?  If so, are there any suggestions on how to do this?  

Or would it be better to try and clean things out first?  Im not quite sure
how to determine which installed extensions don't make sense. Also, when you
say clean up, how should I do that?  For most of the extensions I only have
Uninstall and Downgrade options.  (not sure why there are Downgrade options,
as I have only seen in that when trying to go to 6.4.2).

Thanks for the help!
Charlie

Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] Cannot upgrade Enterprise UI Extension to 6.4.2

You have several very weird things in your setup:
* first as you can see in the error it seems like you installed
org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-appwithinminutes-ui at farm level which is
a really unusual thing to do for a XAR and especially for a XAR which is a
standard XE dependency
* this extension is 6.3 which mean you did not fully upgraded from 6.3 to
6.4.1 and you have some leftover for some reason
* as far as I understand you are not using the Distribution Wizard (as
otherwise you wouldn't have ended up with XWiki Enterprise - UI - Main Wiki
All and at all or some standard extension installed at farm level), is there
a specific reason for that ?

I ideally I would suggest to cleanup a bit (look at installed extension and
try to clean anything that don't make much sense like
6.3 standard extension leftover or standard extension installed at farm
level instead of in the wiki they are used) and then use the Distribution
Wizard to so a proper upgrade but I don't know your constraints.

 I have tried to upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4.1 first and then upgrade from

 Going from 6.3 to 6.4.1 works fine.



 Are there any workarounds to get Enterprise UI package to upgrade, or 
 will this be something that is fixed in next release?

[xwiki-users] Calc Macro Not Working in 6.4.1

[Charlie Mann]

We have been using the Calc Macro Extension in xWiki 6.3 and it was working
well.  When we upgraded to 6.4.1, the macro stopped working and now
displays: Failed to execute the [groovy] macro. Click on this message for
details. 

 

Debugging the CalcGroovy script, it appears that when the script does a
.getParent() on the MacroBlock that is coming in, it is returning null.
Previously, it used to return the TableHeader block of the table containing
the Macro. 

 

Is there something that needs to be changed in the CalcGroovy code to get it
to work with 6.4.1, or is this something that will need to be fixed in
6.4.2? 

 

Thanks

Charlie
