Hi Jerome,
Something just occurred to me.
In the tutorial, you say: "XWiki Workspaces XAR contains several pages
that needs to be saved with programming rights to work properly."
But then, the only alteration to the XAR that you describe is to
change the backupPack property from true to false. What are these
"several pages", and how do I change the programming rights?
I have no
complete list of such pages as of today, I'll try to make it
when I have some time. The back up pack property affects the fact that
the author of imported page is the original one (the one written in the
XAR) when set to true, or the user actually doing the import, when set
to false.
You can give programming rights from the RMUI of the manager wiki.

Jerome,
Thanks for taking the time to write the tutorial.
I believe that I've followed the instructions to the letter, but
still have the same result as before.
I was a bit confused by the instruction to:
"Connect to your newly create wiki, and *login with the credentials
of an administrator of the manager wiki*."
After creating the empty wiki from the wiki manager (logged in as
Admin), I then go directly to the new, empty wiki. I'm now able to
import the archive that was prepared according to your instructions,
by navigating to "/bin/admin/XWiki/Import". (Am I already logged in
correctly, or do I have to log out and re-log in as some other user
name? I tried xwiki:Admin, and that gave an error.)
After importing the archive, I still can't create workspaces, the
Admin user is still listed as a Simple Member, and the arrows to
promote members to Power User or Global Admin are still not present.
Cheers,
Dan
Hello Dan,
Thank you for your interest in XWiki Workspaces.
I took advantage of your question to write a complete tutorial on
how to
setup a XWiki Workspaces farm:
http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspace…
You had all the initial steps right, so you can jump directly to the
last section
(http://workspaces.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/VirtualXWikiWorkspace…)
where I explain that several pages from the Workspaces XAR needs to be
saved with programming rights, and how you can "prepare" the XAR to
have
this done automatically when importing it.
A last step would be to create a template wiki or XAR package for a
smoother creation of XWiki Workspaces virtual instances. Unfortunately
we are sometimes facing an issue when doing this with XWiki Workspaces,
so I will only add this section once this is resolved.
Regards,
Jerome.
