Delete all panel & presentation settings on pages

Help / Discuss

Hello,

Is there a way to delete all panel & presentations settings, which are on page level? When I change the global settings, I always have to go back to a number of pages and Set the same settings again cause the page’s settings overrule the global ones. :confused:

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

It depends what is your need.

You can get the rendered page result without the skin around it using /get/ action instead of /view/. See http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/DevGuide/Architecture/URL%20Architecture/Standard%20URL%20Format/#HAction:get for more details.

Goodmorning and thank you :slight_smile: But that’s not what I look for.

I changed the panel settings on page Level using Administer Page/Look & Feel/Panel Wizard.
Unfortunately, these Settings overrule all Settings set at Administer Wiki/Look & Feel/Panel Wizard.

Basically, that’s ok, but unfortunately I didn’t realize in the beginning. I want to delete the pages’ settings in order to apply the Wiki’s settings on all pages. Right now I have to change the Wiki’s settings and several pages’ settings!

Do you get me?

Best regards,

So you want to reset the change you made to some pages so that they inherit wiki level settings ?

exactly!

We are probably missing some kind of “reset” button in page administration. Would be great if you could report this on Loading....

In the meantime if you are sure this is not some standard page the easiest is probably to delete the WebPreferences subpage in each of those pages. You don’t get a delete button when you go in those pages (that’s actually the page administration UI) but what you can do is Administer Page and then change /admin/ into /delete/ in the URL.

A faster way to do this is:

  1. Enable “Display Hidden Pages” in your XWiki user preferences
  2. Open the page Index of your wiki
  3. Search for “WebPreferences” in Location Column

It will show you all pages that have WebPreferences(which is a hidden sub-page), with a fast way to delete them. Be aware that these WebPreferences will be created as soon as you enter den Page Administration, you don’t have to actually change anything.
This helped me quite a lot recently since we messed up permissions in some spaces…
