Thanks a lot for clarification.
It makes sence now from explained point of view, but I still can't get WHY as global
user on NON-workspace wiki I should see Workspace Manager menus? Anyhow I can't use
Workspace Manager INSIDE virtual Wiki. It makes sence if you would extend Workspace
manager and make it completely independent on each and every virtual wiki.
So, the main reason why: it's just useles inside virtual wiki (for now)
For me, e.g., ideal workflow looks like:
Case 1. XEM -> virtual wiki isolated, no Workspace Manager on board
Case 2. XEM -> virtual wiki isolated, WITH Workspace Manager on board. Each virtual
wiki in this case will be able to produce it's own workspaces isolated from each other
(like independent projects on the same server). Only Local Users can take part in
workspace management.
Case 3. XEM -> virtual wiki isolated + Workspace manager on board. Same as Case 2, but
Local Users can log once in any virtual/workspace wiki they allowed AND via this login
have access to each and every wiki they registered/invited.
For current purposes I would prefer Case 1 behaviour. Soon I'd like to use Case 2
then 3 scenario, but for now - no way :-(
Hope it would be useful for futher development.
Kind Regards,
Dmitry

Oh, I see now.
The way it works now when visiting a normal subwiki (not a workspace) is that:
1) If you are a global user (user of the main wiki), the menus will be displayed to you
(and you will be thus exposed to the global context of which you are part of).
2) If you are a local user (user of a subwiki that is part of a wiki *farm*), you don`t
see the menus any more and are isolated inside the wiki (and not exposed to the global
context).
So, as a conclusion, the menus appear to you based on your user type and not on the type
of wiki you are currently viewing.
Does that make sense now? Does this fit your usecase? If not, can you please elaborate on
the reason why you would like global users not to be able to see the global context when
viewing a regular subwiki?
Thanks,
Eduard

Thank you Eduard,
Sorry, probably I wasn't clear in my questions...
- I want to use WORKSPACE Manager on MAIN Wiki and manage them as designed.
- BUT, the same time I want to use WIKI Manager to have completely independent from main
wiki and other workspaces virtual wikis.
So, I set up XEM, installed Workspace manager to play around AND with Wiki Manager created
virtual Wiki.
Now I completely stuck how to get rid of all Workspace Manager links in wiki farm (!) (not
workspaces). I would prefer to keep running Workspace Manager on main Wiki AND Wiki farm
simultaneously, if possible.
Is there any simple solution?
The only thing I suppose should work is to take *.vm files from XE and attach them to the
skin file. Looks wierd and unpredictable for me :-(
Kind Regards,
Dmitry

Hi Dmitry,
Starting with 3.3, XEM has moved the main usecase for subwikis from farm to workspaces.
This means that, additionally to the WikiManager application [1], now XEM also contains
the Workspace Application [2].
The encouraged way of for creating a wiki farm right now (if that is really what you need)
is to get XE, install WikiManager [1] and create your farm.
If you *insist* on using XEM for creating a wiki farm, all you have to do is delete the
WorkspaceManager space, thus removing the Workspaces application and disabling the extra
menus that were getting in your way. Additionally, you should also remove the
xwiki-platform-workspace-api-<version>.jar file from the /webapps/xwiki/WEB-INF/lib/
folder, since you don`t want to use it anymore and you have removed the UI.
However, if your plan is to have global users that work on different subwikis (like an
intranet with departments mapped to subwikis or a place where you work on projects mapped
to subwikis, etc.), you might reconsider using Workspaces.
In any case, I hope this solves your problem.
Thanks,
Eduard

Ooops, wrong solution. The problem is still active: is there a right way to get rid of
Workspace Manager's links in virtual wikis in 3.4?

Hi All,
By accident I found a soluion. For me it looks a bit wierd.
If you set in xwiki.cfg xwiki.virtual.usepath to 0, then all menus become Workspace
Manager links free.
For now, if I want to use usepath and don't want to use Workspace Manager, there is
no an "one click solution" :-(
Is it a bug or it's a feature? Should I report it?
Kind regards,
Dmitry
