[xwiki-devs] Looking for Menu Application Bug Verification
Today I was working on changing the Menu Application so it did not throw an error when a user didn't have permission to the Menu share. I only use the horizontal menu at the top of the page and that is working fine. I went to verify functionality on the left and right menus and they didn't work. They worked when I first installed the Menu Application Extension so, thinking I broke something, I: * Completely Uninstalled the 3 Menu extensions. * Permanently deleted all documents associated with the Menu space. * Re-installed the Menu Application (which installs 2 other Menu extensions it uses.) * Created a new menu by accepting the default menu and set it to the right side of the form, which already has some widgets there. It did not work. So then I went to a completely different wiki server that I hadn't touched in weeks. I tried to put the menu to the right side and it didn't work. I repeated the uninstall and install process and it still doesn't work. Anyone else having this issue? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Looking-for-Menu-Application-Bug-Verificat...

The only thing I can say... ...installing the Menu Application is a PITA (due to the dependencies to the 2 old menu apps). I have managed to make it work on our XWiki 5.4.2 installation...and I am NOT touching it again! (Don't fix it if it ain't broke) -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Looking-for-Menu-Application-Bug-Verificat...

You must be confusing the extensions. The Menu Application doesn't have any dependencies to "old menu apps" as can be seen on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Menu+Application#HDepen... https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwik... All its dependencies are bundled with XWiki Enterprise so *installing* the Menu Application is NOT a PITA! The only problem you may have is if you had previously installed http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Navigation+Menu+Wiki+Ma... http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/NavigationMenuConfig The Menu Application is not compatible with these two, so you have to uninstall them. Hope this helps, Marius

What are those 3 menu extensions? Can you give us links to http://extensions.xwiki.org ?

What "2 other Menu extensions"? The Menu Application http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Menu+Application doesn't depend on any other menu extension.

By right side you mean having the menu in a panel? On the Menu Application documentation there is this paragraph: {quote} Currently, in order to have the menu inside a panel you need to make one more step: add the menu page (e.g. Menu.Navigation Panel) to the list of right/left panels in the administration. {quote} There is also this issue reported http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-10112 . Hope this helps, Marius
Anyone else having this issue?

I didn't think it used them either but I uninstalled them and just in stalled "Menu Application" and the other two got re-installed along with it.

Ah this is new. When I original quit using "Navigation Menu Wiki Macro" and "NavigationMacroConfig" I knew you had to manually put references in the right/left panels in the administration section. However when I originally tried the new "Menu Application" I didn't have to do this. It was one of the items I noted as being a benefit. I went ahead and put "Menu.Navigation" in for my right panel, which is always visible. Then I changed the menu to display in the right panel. It did not work. However, based on what your saying that the "Menu Application" has no dependencies on the other menu extensions and my server seems to have this, I may have a unique issue with my setup? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Looking-for-Menu-Application-Bug-Verificat...

I got the same thing here, so those items are definitly connected in some manner. At least when you upgrade a XWiki with the Navigation Menu Wiki Macro / Config Application to a new version of XWiki with the Menu Application (which should replace the old stuff) DeHaynes wrote

All I can say, no...you don't have an unique issue, as we have had the same problem. The EM also indicated that the old Navigation Menu Wiki Macro <http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Navigation+Menu+Wiki+Macro> and the Navigation Menu Config Application <http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/NavigationMenuConfig> and the Menu Application <http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Menu+Application> are somehow connected. It showed that I could downgrade the Navigation Menu Wiki Macro and the Navigation Menu Config Application. Sadly I can't show a screenshot, as I have spend lots of time trying to get rid of the old Navigation Menu macros (and I don't want that mess to come back). -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Looking-for-Menu-Application-Bug-Verificat...

They didn't got re-installed. The Menu Application offers (or at least aims to offer) the same features as the other 2 extensions and the descriptor of the Menu Application extensions specifies this https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/blob/master/xwiki-platform-core/xwik... which means that Menu Application can be seen as an upgraded version of the other 2. This ensures that if you have the old 2 menu extensions installed and you install the Menu Application they are "removed" (upgraded). You should see this http://imgur.com/wM86OD4 . Only the Menu Application is installed because it is the only one having the Uninstall button. The other two are not installed, they have the Downgrade button to allow you to go back to the old menu if you don't like the Menu Application.

I'm telling you this has never worked. Believe me :) . Maybe you had the panel already added to the right/left panels in the administration and when you created the menu with the Menu Application you thought it adds the panel automatically (while it may have been just a coincidence). It doesn't. The paragraph I mentioned is there in the Menu Application documentation from the start.
I went ahead and put "Menu.Navigation" in for my right panel, which is always visible. Then I changed the menu to display in the right panel. It did not work.
I just tried and it worked for me. Make sure you use the right scope. Larger scopes require special rights. Hope this helps, Marius
