Thanks Guillaume, You're right - I don't. I suspected that might be the issue, but hoped there's a way around it. Shall I send someone the list of pages that needs to be saved with programming rights? Or is there a way I can programming obtain rights for myself? Also, I think there may be another issue - the code that sets privileges on the pages is common to several sections, so I refactored it into a script page I include in the classSheets for various classes: http://patternlanguagenetwork.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/scripts/DesObjClassSheet I'm worried that the macros on this page are not evaluated when a new page / object is created.
I have a feeling that the right way to go about this is by adding some helper classes in Java, rather than hacking it in Velocity. But again, I do not have the privileges to do that. If other people find this issue relevant, I'm happy to contribute my time towards a generic, stable solution. A reminder: the core of the problem is that I want to allow users to create objects (and respective pages) in a space, and to have ownership over those objects / pages, but without giving them overall edit rights on the space. ___________________________ Yishay Mor, Researcher, London Knowledge Lab http://www.lkl.ac.uk/people/mor.html http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=yishaym%40gmail.com +44-20-78378888 x5737 ------------------------------ > From: "Guillaume Lerouge" <guilla...@xwiki.com> > Subject: Re: [xwiki-users] chicken & egg / catch 21 problem > To: "XWiki Users" <users@xwiki.org> > Message-ID: > <1c35d2320812291005l5bbdccfnd9e75af1778cf...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 > > On Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 6:59 PM, Sergiu Dumitriu <ser...@xwiki.com> wrote: > > > Yishay Mor wrote: > > > > > > Ideally, I would like to either: > > > * have a separate"create" column in the rights editor, which will allow > > > users to create a new object and give them edit rights over it. > > > * have a script attached to the current create form which would do the > > same. > > > Currently that doesn't work unless the user invoking the form already > has > > > edit rights. > > > > > > > Hint: saveWithProgrammingRights > > > > You'll probably need to help him sicne I'm not sure Yishay is an Admin on > the master wiki on myxwiki.org, thus he probably cannto save the page with > programming rights, can he Sergiu ? > > Guillaume > > > _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
