[xwiki-users] Deleted users not staying deleted
Weird little problem. I am trying to purge my xwiki of a lot of users who have left. But when I delete the user, go to another part of the XWiki and come back to the users page, all my deletions are magically back. I'm logged in as Admin. Any ideas? Sam
Another note, All of these users have weird First Name Last Name fields: $user.getObject('XWiki.XWikiUsers').get('first_name') $user.getObject('XWiki.XWikiUsers').get('last_name') This was probably a remanent of when our site was spammed and we bulk deleted users. This may be the root of the problem, but we still don't know how to address it. Sam On Feb 20, 2009, at 2:56 PM, Samuel Lee wrote:

How exactly did you delete the users? From the displayed usernames, it looks like the XWikiUsers object attached to the document was deleted, but the document itself was left in place. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

It's probably an instance of this (just sent to devs list). The search engine, or some user, is restoring your removed user/document by clicking 'restore'.... On Fri, Mar 13, 2009 at 6:23 PM, Niels Mayer <[email protected]> wrote:
Lets say you delete a spam user, e.g. /xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/xanax via the administration tools. You then log out as admin.
Now, as an unregistered user, browse /xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/xanax
You'll be given a link to 'Restore' the deleted file e.g. /xwiki/bin/undelete/XWiki/xanax?id=47
When an unregistered user clicks 'Restore' the file is restored (!! bug !!).
Fortunately if the "restored" account is used for login, the user can't view or edit any files. IMHO there ought to be an additional option on deleting users which will also remove the account from the recyclebin or not recycle accounts.
Unfortunately, if there's a file you wanted deleted, apparently an unregistered user will be able to find out it was there (say, through a search engine), and restore it if they want to.
This is on 1.8RC2.

PS: quick and dirty solution -- set "xwiki.recyclebin=0"
