Hi guys,
I’ve just realized that on farm wiki like
myxwiki.org we have an important issue when we
upgrade the WAR.
When local admins log on their wiki they get the DW, they follow it and then they find
their wiki is broken in several places:
- search/search suggest not working
- activity stream stays empty
- reset password feature doesn’t work
- etc
The problem is that the local admin users do not have PR on subwikis and since we have
several pages requiring them, this breaks their upgrades.
This is a pretty serious problem since they have no way of doing a proper upgrade and this
doesn’t do good advertising for xwiki...
What can we do in the short term (for 5.4.1 for example since I believe this is something
really urgent to fix)?
Only solution I can think of (which should be pretty quick) would be to look at all pages
requiring PR in our default XE XAR package and replace those with specific API calls.
WDYT?
Thanks
