[xwiki-users] XWiki Enterprise Manager 4.5.1: Editing a user profile
Hello I have just set up XWiki Enterprise Manager 4.5.1 and installed the Administration application. I logged in and went to the "Administration: Users" page. However, when I click on the "Edit" icon to edit a user profile, the popup area that appears doesn't show any fields. It just says "For more options to edit this user, please go to the user's profile" and there is a "Save" and "Cancel" button. There is supposed to be a lot more here. I think that I'm missing an extension. Does anyone know what I need to do? Thank you. Naoufel

so if I understand here's what you did: * you installed the XWiki WAR * you started it and skipped the Distribution Wizard * you downloaded the Admini app XAR from http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Administration+Applicat... * you went to the admin of your wiki and imported the downloaded admin XAR is that right? This will indeed not work since the admin app has probably several prerequisites it needs. Note that normally those should be listed on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Administration+Applicat... but we haven't defined them yet since usually the admin app is installed when you install the XE XAR from the Distribution Wizard. So I'd recommend that you go through the Distribution Wizard and install what it proposes instead. What was your use case? To start with a minimal wiki? Actually what we need to do in the future is to find a way to have the user install the Extension Manager first so that he can then decide exactly what he wishes to install. I'll have a look at what you did to try to define the required deps. Thanks -Vincent
Hello Vincent I have tested XWiki Enterprise for a few weeks and now I decided to install Xwiki Enterprise Manager to set up multiple wikis. The steps that you described are correct; that's what I did. When I first accessed the application as an Admin, the Distribution Wizard appeared but it was showing the following message at the bottom: "We couldn't find any extension with id 'org.xwiki.manager:xwiki-manager-ui' and version '4.5.1'. Make sure you have the right extension repositories configured." The only options available were "Skip" and "Cancel". So, I clicked "Skip". I have re-run the Distribution Wizard but I ended up with same thing. How can I prevent the above message from appearing in the Distributon Wizard? Am I missing something? Thank you.

Assuming you haven't modified xwiki.properties file, this message probably means that the Distribution Wizard couldn't connect to the default configured extension repositories (extensions.xwiki.org and maven.xwiki.org). Above this message you should have a warning message that tells you the installation process requires internet access. Make sure the default extension repositories are accessible. Hope this helps, Marius

It depends what you need. If you don't plan to use the distribution wizard (you will need to cancel it the first time) or extension manager then you can ignore it or even better make sure XWiki does not try to access those repositories by setting extension.repositories= in WEB-INF/xwiki.properties. This will tell XWiki there is no repositories, not even the default ones. XWiki can also support a repository you would have on your side but the hard part would be to get the "required" files, we are not really talking about a few files to put in some folder. The "simplest" would be to mirror http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/ and that's only if you plan to install nothing else than XAR extensions release by the XWiki team or by official contrib on Maven (it's enough for Distribution Wyzard for example). The next level would be to mirror the Nexus[1] repository on http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/content/groups/public/ (best probably being to use Nexus itself for that). Mirroring http://extension.xwiki.org would be quite complex, XWiki access it using REST, it require a running instance of XWiki Repository[2] and most of all there is no tool right now do the synchronization (even if that should not be too hard with a script).

I think that the simplest solution in my scenario is to edit the xwiki.properties file and leave the extension.repositories property empty, as suggested. As long as the data is migrated properly to the new release, I don't think that I need to run the distribution wizard. What does the Distribution Wizard do?

Right now it install/upgrades all wiki pages (what you import as a XAR when you don't use it). In XWiki world everything is extensions working with each other.

If you don't plan to use the distribution wizard (you will need to cancel it the first time) or extension manager then you can ignore it or even better make sure XWiki does not try to access those repositories by setting extension.repositories= in WEB-INF/xwiki.properties. This will tell XWiki there is no repositories, not even the default ones.
XWiki can also support a repository you would have on your side but the hard part would be to get the "required" files, we are not really talking about a few files to put in some folder.
The "simplest" would be to mirror http://maven.xwiki.org/releases/ and that's only if you plan to install nothing else than XAR extensions release by the XWiki team or by official contrib on Maven (it's enough for Distribution Wyzard for example). The next level would be to mirror the Nexus[1] repository on http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/content/groups/public/ (best probably being to use Nexus itself for that).
Mirroring http://extension.xwiki.org would be quite complex, XWiki access it using REST, it require a running instance of XWiki Repository[2] and most of all there is no tool right now do the synchronization (even if that should not be too hard with a script).
And I wouldn't really recommend mirroring any of the xwiki servers since that's going going to be expensive for us and if we find people doing this we will need to take some measures to forbid it (as they did on maven central).

Hello Vincent
I have tested XWiki Enterprise for a few weeks and now I decided to install Xwiki Enterprise Manager to set up multiple wikis.
The steps that you described are correct; that's what I did. When I first accessed the application as an Admin, the Distribution Wizard appeared but it was showing the following message at the bottom:
"We couldn't find any extension with id 'org.xwiki.manager:xwiki-manager-ui' and version '4.5.1'. Make sure you have the right extension repositories configured."
Assuming you haven't modified xwiki.properties file, this message probably means that the Distribution Wizard couldn't connect to the default configured extension repositories (extensions.xwiki.org and maven.xwiki.org). Above this message you should have a warning message that tells you the installation process requires internet access. Make sure the default extension repositories are accessible.
Hope this helps, Marius
The only options available were "Skip" and "Cancel". So, I clicked "Skip".
I have re-run the Distribution Wizard but I ended up with same thing. How can I prevent the above message from appearing in the Distributon Wizard? Am I missing something?
Thank you.

Hello
I have just set up XWiki Enterprise Manager 4.5.1 and installed the Administration application. I logged in and went to the "Administration: Users" page. However, when I click on the "Edit" icon to edit a user profile, the popup area that appears doesn't show any fields. It just says "For more options to edit this user, please go to the user's profile" and there is a "Save" and "Cancel" button. There is supposed to be a lot more here. I think that I'm missing an extension. Does anyone know what I need to do?
so if I understand here's what you did: * you installed the XWiki WAR * you started it and skipped the Distribution Wizard * you downloaded the Admini app XAR from http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Administration+ Ap plication * you went to the admin of your wiki and imported the downloaded admin XAR
is that right?
This will indeed not work since the admin app has probably several prerequisites it needs. Note that normally those should be listed on http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Administration+Applicat... we haven't defined them yet since usually the admin app is installed when you install the XE XAR from the Distribution Wizard.
So I'd recommend that you go through the Distribution Wizard and install what it proposes instead.
What was your use case? To start with a minimal wiki?
Actually what we need to do in the future is to find a way to have the user install the Extension Manager first so that he can then decide exactly what he wishes to install.
I'll have a look at what you did to try to define the required deps.
Thanks -Vincent
