Re: [xwiki-users] virtual workspaces
Jerome, I think I now have it working. I edited the database by changing the xwd_author, xwd_content_author, and xwd_creator fields in all entries in the xwikidoc table from 'XWiki.Admin' to 'xwiki:XWiki.Admin'. e.g. UPDATE XWIKIDOC SET XWD_AUTHOR = 'xwiki:XWiki.Admin' WHERE 1=1; I can create the main workspace, and other workspaces. I can also promote Simple members to Power user or Global admin. Do you think I'll run into problems using this workaround?

Hello Dan, Thank you for your interest in XWiki Workspaces. I took advantage of your question to write a complete tutorial on how to setup a XWiki Workspaces farm: http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspacesFarm You had all the initial steps right, so you can jump directly to the last section (http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspacesFarm#HPreparingandimportingXWikiWorkspacesXAR) where I explain that several pages from the Workspaces XAR needs to be saved with programming rights, and how you can prepare the XAR to have this done automatically when importing it. A last step would be to create a template wiki or XAR package for a smoother creation of XWiki Workspaces virtual instances.

Re: [xwiki-users] virtual workspaces
Hello Dan, Better reply to the list than to myself directly so that knowledge is available for everybody and searchable through the archives. Concerning your problem, I have a question : did you imported the prepared XAR over an already imported XAR ? If this is the case, it means you were probably logged-in with the local administrator, and not the one from the manager wiki. In this case, you should first delete the local administrator (delete the XWiki.Admin page) and reimport the prepared xar, as global admin. Hope this help, tell me if it was your problem. Jerome.

Re: [xwiki-users] virtual workspaces
I just realized something else. I went to the rights management page in xem, and found that the Admin *user* did not have programming or admin rights. So, I checked those boxes and went through the site creation process, but still no joy. :-( So, to summarize, I've made a new site owned by the global admin user who has programming and admin rights. But still the same on the workspaces site. Dan On Sep 29, 2008, at 10:07 AM, Jerome Velociter wrote: Dan Svoboda wrote: Hi Jerome, Something just occurred to me. In the tutorial, you say: XWiki Workspaces XAR contains several pages that needs to be saved with programming rights to work properly. But then, the only alteration to the XAR that you describe is to change the backupPack property from true to false. What are these several pages, and how do I change the programming rights? I have no complete list of such pages as of today, I'll try to make it when I have some time. The back up pack property affects the fact that the author of imported page is the original one (the one written in the XAR) when set to true, or the user actually doing the import, when set to false. You can give programming rights from the RMUI of the manager wiki.
