Missing title component in user dashboards

I have an install of 4.0.e where the title component (user-dashboard-title) in user dashboards has started to disappear. Since the blue bar with the customise dashboard button is missing, this is a real annoying issue for end users.I connect this being an issue in the underlying surf framework and t

Yes, I'm seeing this. For some users. We're not using kerberos. And i'm still able to reset webscripts. I cant see where this behaviour is coming from. How did you reset this user dashboard?

I created some scripts that can be run using the Javascript Console (http://code.google.com/p/share-extras/wiki/JavascriptConsole).

First thing I tried was to delete the users dashboard, thus reset it and get all components recreated. But that error kept reappearing.

var userid = "pelof";

var searchobj = {
  query:'PATH:"/app:company_home/st:sites/cm:surf-config/cm:components/*" AND @cm\:name:"*'+userid+'*"',
  language: 'fts-alfresco'
};

var nodes = search.query(searchobj);

for(i=0, ii=nodes.length;i<ii;i++){
  //use only the dashboard ones
  if(nodes[i].name.indexOf('dashboard')>-1){
    print(nodes[i].name);
    nodes[i].remove();
  }
}
print('***')
searchobj.query = 'PATH:"/app:company_home/st:sites/cm:surf-config/cm:pages/cm:user/cm:'+userid+'/*"';
nodes = search.query(searchobj);
for(i=0, ii=nodes.length;i<ii;i++){
  //use only the dashboard ones
  if(nodes[i].name.indexOf('dashboard')>-1){
    print(nodes[i].name);
    nodes[i].remove();
  }
}

I then went on to actually create the missing component file, and this helped. Note that you may have to refresh webscripts to reset cache for this to take effect.

var users = search.luceneSearch("workspace://SpacesStore", "TYPE:\"cm:person\"");
for(i=0,ii=users.length;i<ii;i++){
  var userid = users[i].properties["cm:userName"];
  var dashboard = companyhome.childByNamePath('/Sites/surf-config/pages/user/' + userid + '/dashboard.xml');
  if(dashboard){
   var title =companyhome.childByNamePath('/Sites/surf-config/components/page.title.user~'+userid+'~dashboard.xml');
    if(title){
      print('Exists for ' +userid);
    }else{
      var componentfolder =companyhome.childByNamePath('/Sites/surf-config/components');
      var newtitle = componentfolder.createFile('page.title.user~'+userid+'~dashboard.xml');
      var content = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n\n';
      content += '<component>\n';
      content += '<guid>page.title.user~' + userid + '~dashboard</guid>\n';
      content += '<scope>page</scope>\n';
      content += '<region-id>title</region-id>\n';
      content += '<source-id>user/'+ userid +'/dashboard</source-id>\n';
      content += '<url>/components/title/user-dashboard-title</url>\n';
      content += '</component>\n';
      newtitle.properties.content.content = content;
      newtitle.properties.content.encoding = 'UTF-8';
      newtitle.setOwner(userid);
      newtitle.save();
      print('Created new title component for ' +userid);
      }
  }else{
    print("User has no dashboard " + userid);
  }
}

This was seen with 4.0.e, we have since upgraded to 4.2.a. But the upgrade didn't resolve the issue for users that had the title component missing, so I had to run the above script. After 4.2.a upgrade, the issue hasn't re-appeared.

Thanks Big Time, Peter. I'm going to try these scripts. And i'll suggest to upgrade to 4.2a shortly. Thanks a lot.
