Re: [xwiki-users] XEM: Allowing non-admin users to create new wikis

Hi Stanley, There would be 3 ways of addressing this limitation: 1) If you use subwikis in an intranet-like environment or, more generally, use only global users, and you wish to allow them to create subwikis where they can perform their work, then I would recomment that you try the recently released Workspace Application [1]. The only constraint for this is that you use XWiki 3.2 or greater. 2) A "quicker" solution is the one specified in the comment of a XEM Jira issue [2]. The problem with that, is that it always shows XWiki.Admin as the creator of the subwiki and you have to write some custom UI. 3) A final, third solution, is the one specified in the comments of the Wiki3.0 Jira issue [3] that you've previously referenced. It involves creating a new component, that uses the wikiManager plugin internally, but avoids the java permission checks that limit wiki creation only to admins. However, this has already been done for the Workspace Component [4] that is part of the Workspace Application suggested at 1). Thanks, Eduard P.S.: If you are interested in 1), there currently is a live demo instance [5] where you can try it out. ----------------- References: [1] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Workspace+Application [2] http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XEM-113?focusedCommentId=25862&page=com.at… [3] http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/WIKITHREEDOTO-14 [4] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Workspace+Component [5] http://wiki30-demo.xwiki.com On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 11:02 PM, Stanley Laufer <stanley.laufer(a)sjsu.edu>wrote;wrote:
