Role "Workplace user": users can't edit XML resources? [SOLVED]

[Roman Uhlig ()]

On our hard way of upgrading 15 portal sites from OpenCms 6 to 7, we are still advancing - but here's another strange one (maybe someone can give us a hint):

We'd like to create a user type that just works as an editor login for adding, editing and deleting xml resources (plain html, xml-content etc.) within a certain site. The only user role we could find suitable is "workplace user". But it doesn't seem to do the job, we get the following error when trying to edit a resource, e.g. "/main/editorial/index.html":

Error reading resource from path "/main/editorial/~index.html".
Reason: Failed to read deleted resource "/main/editorial/~index.html", because it is not allowed to read deleted resources.

So the workplace user is not able to edit text resources? Furthermore, we could not find any other suitable user role. Next higher seems to be project manager, but he could manage projects in the admin view as well. This is not what we want, we just need a plain and simple editor user role.

Is there any way to achieve this? Or is the lowest usable user rank for editing always project manager?

Thank you in advance,
Roman

Hi Roman,
It seems to me, that the error you get has nothing to do with the "workplace user" role. I assume that "something happened" to your page while upgrading your sites from 6 to 7. As you probably know, OpenCms 7 has the cool undelete feature. I guess that the error message you get has something to do with the undelete feature.
I am sorry, that I can not be more specific. But may be it leads you in the right direction.

Right now there comes something else to my mind. If you use more than one site (meaning other than the "default site", check out, if you set the permissions on your site's root folder "site/yoursite" for "workplace users" correctly. Just clone the "default site's" permissions.

Regards
Kai

Thanks for the hint. You last suggestion pointed us into the right direction. Obviously the permissions of our /sites/* folders have not been correctly restored during the upgrade. Setting them again manually has solved the issue.

Thanks for your help, Kai.

Best regards,
Roman

Hi all,

Very general question: What is the best way to get started with developing on OpenCms? I see all these questions from people who are doing interesting stuff, adding modules etc. and I would like to start enhancing our OpenCms installation in a similar way. Are there any good online resources, e.g. tutorials, "Hello World"-style intros and so on?
Thanks a lot.

Cheers,

Martin

The best you can find is probably the online documentation coming with
OpenCms. You may also want to have a look at http://opencms-wiki.org/.

Dan Liliedahl's book "OpenCms 7 Development" has much information on module development and IMO is well worth the price.

Thanks a lot, Allan. I have the book here alright, but haven't had a chance to work through it, yet.

Cheers,
