Mark, You could try using the following extensions: List Deleted Content Author Users http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/List+Deleted+Content+Au thor+Users Change Content Author http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Change+Content+Author They have helped me in the past to clean up deleted users.

Re: [xwiki-users] A tool to convert terminal pages to Nested Pages
I tried this extension out on our test server where we are simulating upgrading from 7.1.2 to 7.4. It looks like it will be a very helpful tool in converting to the new nested pages scheme. One thing I did notice is that one of our wikis that had a lot of nested pages under a space would never show the migration plan. It was as though it was frozen.

[xwiki-users] 6.4.3 Group Rights Issues
I have just upgraded our xWiki from 6.4.2 to 6.4.3 and noticed a change in how group rights are handled. We have a main wiki with 6 subwikis. All users are members of the main wiki. In order to allow users rights to a subwiki, we add them into a group in the main wiki and then give that group access on the subwiki. This worked great in 6.4.2, however with the upgrade to 6.4.3, we get the following error when a user logs into a subwiki, even though the user is in a group that has access to the subwiki. (I have truncated the error message since it is long, but if you need more of it I can include it) Failed to execute the [include] macro. Click on this message for details. org.xwiki.rendering.macro.MacroExecutionException: Current user [xwiki:XWiki.TestUser] doesn't have view rights on document [test:WikiManager.Dashboard] at org.xwiki.rendering.internal.macro.include.IncludeMacro.execute(IncludeMacro .java:151) at org.xwiki.rendering.internal.macro.include.IncludeMacro.execute(IncludeMacro .java:55) at org.xwiki.rendering.internal.transformation.macro.MacroTransformation.transf orm(MacroTransformation.java:252) at org.xwiki.rendering.internal.transformation.DefaultRenderingContext.transfor mInContext(DefaultRenderingContext.java:183) at org.xwiki.rendering.internal.transformation.DefaultTransformationManager.per formTransformations(DefaultTransformationManager.java:94) at org.xwiki.display.internal.DocumentContentDisplayer.display(DocumentContentD isplayer.java:252) at org.xwiki.display.internal.DocumentContentDisplayer.display(DocumentContentD isplayer.java:125) at org.xwiki.display.internal.DocumentContentDisplayer.display(DocumentContentD isplayer.java:55) at org.xwiki.display.internal.DefaultDocumentDisplayer.display(DefaultDocumentD isplayer.java:96) at org.xwiki.display.internal.DefaultDocumentDisplayer.display(DefaultDocumentD isplayer.java:39) at org.xwiki.sheet.internal.SheetDocumentDisplayer.display(SheetDocumentDisplay er.java:113). Attempting to access a page within the subwiki gives this error: Error You are not allowed to view this document or perform this action. Is the use of groups to give access to subwikis no longer allowed, or is this an issue with 6.4.3? In our test environment, I took our 6.4.3 XWiki and switched back to the 6.4.2 deployment and things worked as expected, however that really isn't an option as all of the extensions have been upgraded to 6.4.3. If this isn't an issue with 6.4.3, then what is the best way to handle delegating rights for users in our setup? Thanks!

Re: [xwiki-users] Cannot upgrade Enterprise UI Extension to 6.4.2
Thomas, Thanks for the quick reply. Here is a little more background on our install. We have a test server set up with a mirror of production and that is where I am doing the upgrade testing, so I can go back to the current 6.3 at any time and redo the process till I get it right. We have a main wiki with 7 or 8 subwikis. Despite many different attempts, I have never been able to get the Distribution Wizard to appear. So we have taken to just deploying the latest War file and then using the Extension Updater. I generally chose 'Check for updates on farm'. This then provides me with a list of extension that are out of date. I then go through and update every extension that is out of date. This had worked with every upgrade I have tried until 6.4.2. It worked with 6.4.1 in our test environment, but we didn't actually go to 6.4.1 in production because of some the issues present in 6.4.1. What is the best option here for the place we are at? Should I try to get the Distribution Wizard to appear so that it will handle the upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4.2? If so, are there any suggestions on how to do this? Or would it be better to try and clean things out first? Im not quite sure how to determine which installed extensions don't make sense. Also, when you say clean up, how should I do that? For most of the extensions I only have Uninstall and Downgrade options. (not sure why there are Downgrade options, as I have only seen in that when trying to go to 6.4.2). Thanks for the help!

I ideally I would suggest to cleanup a bit (look at installed extension and try to clean anything that don't make much sense like 6.3 standard extension leftover or standard extension installed at farm level instead of in the wiki they are used) and then use the Distribution Wizard to so a proper upgrade but I don't know your constraints.

[xwiki-users] Calc Macro Not Working in 6.4.1
We have been using the Calc Macro Extension in xWiki 6.3 and it was working well. When we upgraded to 6.4.1, the macro stopped working and now displays: Failed to execute the [groovy] macro. Click on this message for details. Debugging the CalcGroovy script, it appears that when the script does a .getParent() on the MacroBlock that is coming in, it is returning null. Previously, it used to return the TableHeader block of the table containing the Macro. Is there something that needs to be changed in the CalcGroovy code to get it to work with 6.4.1, or is this something that will need to be fixed in 6.4.2?
