Hi,
I am interested in solving this Jira issue and I have been working on it.
Its about displaying a warning to user when creating a user with a user name
that already exists. Issue occurs when adding users from admin account.
Below are the given steps to generate it
Administration -> 'Users' -> Add New User -> Try creating user with
same
user name -> Nothing happens (or warning)
Adding a user from register button displays warning and uses warnings
defined in registerinline.vm called from register.vm template.
I have started looking at the xwiki-core code, specifically
com.xpn.xwiki.web.
What I found is as follows when adding a user with same user name,
when creating a new user from RegisterAction class ->
xwiki.createUser(true,"edit",context) returns -3 indicating user already
exists. And when adding from Administration panel I found it calls a
template 'registeruser?ajax=1.vm' that is not in /templates folder. There
fore, can you suggest me some steps to display a warning to user, when
adding users from Administration panel. It uses Ajax to display 'add new
user' UI. Here I am not clear on what template is being called and what to
look for the next step. I have just stuck with this. I thought of sending a
mail, I would get some points to continue with.
Of course there is a registeruser template in the /templates folder.
It's called registeruser.vm.
When a URL contains xpage=xyz, then the xyz.vm template is the one
producing the output.
A good tool you can use is the Firebug Firefox plugin, which allows to
monitor ajax requests.
