Hi !
- I (maybe I am not really up to date with xwiki) cannot figure what
pages
can be accesseed by each users (if someone can tell me how to find
that I
will be pleased to pay him/her a pint of Guinness).
If you really want to, I guess you could iterate over all the documents
in
your wiki and call the $xwiki.hasAccessLevel('view',
$someUserThatYouAreInterestedIn, $someDocument) and get the list of
documents a user has rights on.
Thanks for the hint (maybe if in a next version this can be added to have
this
without programming ?).
- We are on xwiki 2.1.1 and all trys to upgrade to 6.x have fail on
randoms parts (mostly rights that has been exploded, eg. everybody
can see
anything), or some pages being broken (people that hack too mutch
groovy,
they should not).
A lot has changed from 2.1.1. You need to carefully read release notes
and
fix deprecated calls in your pages' scripts, etc. It's not really a
straight-forward process, but the Distribution Wizard is supposed to help
you along the way.
Yeah :) I saw that. It has been one year I am working on that (I am new
sysadmin for my company since more than 2 years, working on make all things
up to date, old sysadmin has the very bad habit to not upgrade...).
The most strange things, is... every migration has new issues, maybe
because
of me or something... So it is very hardwork to migrate that.
So to avoid issues with rights, we have an idea to split our xwiki
into 2
servers :
- one for internal, if this too mutch rights this is not an issue
- one for external users (customers !), with only the pages that
should be
online for users, with reset of user's list and clean rights
management.
If you really want this setup, you could use the multiwiki feature and
have
your main wiki for internal usage, with access to programming rights and
everything, and create a subwiki for clients.
I thought of that, but really I'd love the KISS feature :) Anyway I will
evaluate this :)
Well, that is the KISS approach.
Now I want to find a way to automaticaly sync some spaces between our
master xwiki and some slave xwiki... Any good pointers?
I can't really recommend any extension that I know of (there may be),
but I
think you could easily achieve this with a scheduler job that would
periodically synchronize your spaces. You would be the one defining that
this synchronization is (override from master to slave, the other way
around, merge, etc.), inside the job's code.
Since I am a very newbee in xWiki, have any pointer about this kind of
work ?
Have a look at
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Scheduler+Application
and then generally at XWiki's API to access the data
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/API
Thanks,
Eduard

[xwiki-users] Advice on upgrade and testing
Hi I wonder if anyone could be kind enough to provide me with some advice and pointers. I’ve noticed that XWiki runs its distribution upgrade wizard automatically when a new version is detected, but even though I pressed “Later” it still went ahead and upgraded. Or at least it appeared to have upgraded part of the system as the core version at the bottom showed 6.4.3 when the extensions etc. were still for 6.4.2. We started with 6.4.2 (installed using apt-get on Ubuntu 14.04). So, to summarise my questions: · How do I stop Xwiki from automatically upgrading. I just want it to notify me then I can plan the upgrade · How do you perform a controlled upgrade and test (I appreciate that this is a rather in-depth question)? What I need to be able to do is to do an upgrade and then be able to fairly easily test that the new version doesn’t break any of our documents or functionality that we depend on. Would the only way to do this be to keep a list of my changes and check them with every upgrade? Thanks in advance for your time and help. Kind regards, Mahomed Hussein Senior NOC Engineer P.S.

Re: [xwiki-users] Advice on upgrade and testing
Hi Thomas Thanks for the quick reply. You are mixing two different things. The upgrade wizard is only about part of XWiki (the standard wiki pages) and it's been triggered because you upgraded the WAR probably using apt-get upgrade. This makes things A LOT clearer. Thanks. We have set the Ubuntu server to automatically install updates. I will get this stopped. I have seen that new versions are announced on this mailing list so that is good enough as notification for me :-) I'll look into the test server procedure and look at creating a clone. Thanks to the magic of virtualisation, this shouldn't be too difficult. The only minor issues might be IP Address and DNS name (might need to move it to a lab network instead). Also any suggestions for checking changes/apps? I assume the simplest way is a document where I note down every change that I've made (maybe at a high level such as Macro names and extensions and skin name etc.) Kind regards, Mahomed Hussein Senior NOC Engineer Custodian Data Centre Tel: +44 (0)1622 230382 || Email: maho...@custodiandc.com Web: www.CustodianDC.com || Info: http://info.custodiandc.com facebook: custodian.datacentre || Twitter: @CustodianDC Disclaimer: http://www.custodiandc.com/disclaimer.txt Registered Office: Vinters Business Park, New Cut Rd, Maidstone, Kent ME14 5NZ.
