Hello there,
I am maybe asking a stupid question, but I am the administrator of an old xwiki that have
to be updated.
My current users has done lots of documentation on this xWiki, and we would like to find a
way to explode some parts of our xwiki without using too mutch the rights systems.
The fact :
- We are a software development company and we put allmost everything on the xwiki
- Some of our customers has right to see "customer's" pages uppon rights
they currently have
- I (maybe I am not really up to date with xwiki) cannot figure what pages can be
accesseed by each users (if someone can tell me how to find that I will be pleased to pay
him/her a pint of Guinness).
- We are on xwiki 2.1.1 and all trys to upgrade to 6.x have fail on randoms parts (mostly
rights that has been exploded, eg. everybody can see anything), or some pages being
broken (people that hack too mutch groovy, they should not).
So to avoid issues with rights, we have an idea to split our xwiki into 2 servers :
- one for internal, if this too mutch rights this is not an issue
- one for external users (customers !), with only the pages that should be online for
users, with reset of user's list and clean rights management.
Now I want to find a way to automaticaly sync some spaces between our master xwiki and
some slave xwiki... Any good pointers?
Regards,
Xavier

If you really want to, I guess you could iterate over all the documents in
your wiki and call the $xwiki.hasAccessLevel('view',
$someUserThatYouAreInterestedIn, $someDocument) and get the list of
documents a user has rights on.

A lot has changed from 2.1.1. You need to carefully read release notes and
fix deprecated calls in your pages' scripts, etc. It's not really a
straight-forward process, but the Distribution Wizard is supposed to help
you along the way.

If you really want this setup, you could use the multiwiki feature and have
your main wiki for internal usage, with access to programming rights and
everything, and create a subwiki for clients.
Now I want to find a way to automaticaly sync some spaces between our
master xwiki and some slave xwiki... Any good pointers?
I can't really recommend any extension that I know of (there may be), but I
think you could easily achieve this with a scheduler job that would
periodically synchronize your spaces. You would be the one defining that
this synchronization is (override from master to slave, the other way
around, merge, etc.), inside the job's code.
Hope this helps,
Eduard

Hi !
Thanks for the hint (maybe if in a next version this can be added to have this
without programming ?).
Yeah :) I saw that. It has been one year I am working on that (I am "new"
sysadmin for my company since more than 2 years, working on make all things
up to date, old sysadmin has the very bad habit to "not upgrade"...).
The most strange things, is... every migration has new issues, maybe because
of me or something... So it is very hardwork to migrate that.
I thought of that, but really I'd love the KISS feature :) Anyway I will
evaluate this :)
Since I am a very newbee in xWiki, have any pointer about this kind of work ?
Regards,

Hi Edouard,
Well, that is the KISS approach.
:D
Many thanks, this is really what I have needed (and thus an another reason to push to
be on 6.x or 7.x version.)
Now I have some lab works :)
