Weird little problem. I am trying to purge my xwiki of a lot of users who have left. But when I delete the user, go to another part of the XWiki and come back to the users page, all my deletions are magically back.
It's probably an instance of this (just sent to devs list). The search engine, or some user, is restoring your removed user/document by clicking 'restore'.... On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 6:23 PM, Niels Mayer <[email protected]> wrote:
Lets say you delete a spam user, e.g. /xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/xanax via the administration tools. You then log out as admin.
Now, as an unregistered user, browse /xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/xanax
You'll be given a link to 'Restore' the deleted file e.g. /xwiki/bin/undelete/XWiki/xanax?id=47
When an unregistered user clicks 'Restore' the file is restored (!! bug !!).
Fortunately if the "restored" account is used for login, the user can't view or edit any files. IMHO there ought to be an additional option on deleting users which will also remove the account from the recyclebin or not recycle accounts.
Unfortunately, if there's a file you wanted deleted, apparently an unregistered user will be able to find out it was there (say, through a search engine), and restore it if they want to.
This is on 1.8RC2.

PS: quick and dirty solution -- set "xwiki.recyclebin=0"
