The install is a few weeks old but is not in use yet. This has never worked during the lifetime of the install. I have not tried reproducing the issue with a fresh install.
I suspect this is a duplicate of this issue and I’ve tried to answer most of the questions asked by the people who helped there. The issue was solved by the user manually importing the xar archive. However, I’m happy to do what I can to help get to the bottom of this.
I downloaded the necessary files, added the above lines to my docker-compose file and restarting my containers. But this didn’t fix the issue; I guess that they’re important files for the installation of xwiki.
I removed my database and xwiki data (after doing a backup of course) and did fresh install with changes. Now my notifications macro is working:
I’m pretty sure it’s the xwiki.cnf line that fixed the issue as the init.sql script just grants privileges to xwiki (which I did manually last time).
Great! But I’m guessing if I restore my database and data files that I’ll be back to square one. So my question is, is there a way I can manually fix this without having to start from square one?
A new installation should work just fine. Maybe you upgraded XWiki instead and mixed up the upgrade somewhere? (like not pointing to the previous permanent directory).
Unfortunately, the problem still occurs in my wiki environment. Also a reinstallation of the wiki environment did not bring any improvement.
in the main wiki this function does not work
in the subwikis the function works without problems/restrictions
I have already used the extension manager, but where can I change the settings for the main wiki only, without making changes to other macros or subwikis?
Is there a view here that shows in which wiki (main, subwiki 1, subwiki 2, …) which settings are effective/set?
I realize this is old, but I’m having a similar issue. I didn’t install anything related to notifications I can think of. These are just the defaults I got by installing XWiki for the first time. This is on a fresh never upgraded installation on Tomcat.
re: XWiki Platform - Notifications - Preferences - Default bridge 16.10.0 Version 15.10.13 is provided
I’m not on a subwiki. You know… it’s interesting because logged in as superadmin or my admin the macro page is listed, but when I click on it, it’s not there.
On Windows you can reinstall or repair applications that you already have installed. It would be nice to be able to validate or reinstall extensions. I’m tempted to try to uninstall the notifications extensions so I can reinstall them, but since it came with the original install I’m also very afraid of breaking my wiki which I’ve fiddled with a lot and is otherwise working quite well at this point. I’m starting to have users trickling in, and I don’t want my first impression to be a broken webapp.
Or maybe I just upgrage my whole wiki and hope that resolves it…?
That’s perfectly normal, there’s just no XWiki.Notifications.Code.Macro.WebHome page. In XWiki you don’t need to have a page for creating nested pages under it. If you expand the node, you’ll find 2 pages:
You won’t find the JAR file in your WEB-INF/lib since the notifications macro is defined in a wiki page (ie in a XAR extension that is loaded in the wiki).
What you should check is the Extension Manager for installed extensions, as shown in the following screenshot:
Ya. Many things have been removed. The notifications macro itself is listed as provided and wouldn’t allow me to compute changes. I could do it on the Notifications Application. The thing that looks like a clue to me of what happened is this syntax change on some of the changes:
You could also check the history for that page XWiki.Notifications.Code.Translations to see when the changes were made and by whom. There might be a change comment there too.
Otherwise, you could try to click “reset” to discard the changes.
I don’t know if we can force a reinstall of the extension in the same version, @tmortagne might know.
