Mediawiki Integration with Labs (stable)

[philnicholls]

Hi all,

I think I have had mediawiki successfully integrated with Alfresco labs 3c in the past (i.e. I could browse wiki content, but not edit it, from Alfresco).

I've now moved to labs stable, but I get an install error:

Has anyone successfully managed to get mediawiki to work with Alfresco labs (stable)?  [or should I just go back to 3c 🙂 ]
Thanks
Phil

Bugs (or suspected bugs) should always be raised in JIRA - that's the only place we prioritise such things.

Thanks,
Mike

This problem is posted on the Jira site here:

https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALFCOM-2585

Go out and vote for it if you want it to get prioritized for getting fixed.

Hello

I have looked at the Java source code to see what changed between the 3.0.0c and the 3.0.0stable. These are my conclusions:

In the 3.0.0c, modules were executed using system user credentials. This is not the case with 3.0.0stable: modules are executed using anonymous credentials, and as they are not allowed to, Java exceptions are thrown.
I modified the classes "org.alfresco.repo.module.ModuleComponentHelper", "org.alfresco.repo.module.ModuleServiceImpl", "org.alfresco.repo.admin.registry.RegistryServiceImpl" and several XML files, rewriting the references concerning "AuthenticationComponent" objects which existed on the previous software releases.

It seems to work fine on my development server, but I advice you to wait for a new official release of the software to deploy on your production server, all the more since there is probably a good (security) reason why Alfresco developers removed system user credentials for modules launcher.

Medric,
Any chance you could/would share your changes?  We need to get moving with a MediaWiki on Alfresco deployment and hate reinventing the wheel.

Thanks in advance,

Hi

I have tried your solution by reverting all the changes in the classes you mentioned, but when I deploy the new classses into alfresco, I get the following error:

It seems I am not setting properties for this right, but I could not find out how or where should I set them. Can you share your changes in several XML files that you mentioned so I can make this work?

Kind Regards
Erdem Bayer

[plexi]

Did anyone get this working? Could you share a patch?

[aluxh]

I am looking for the solution to get the Mediawiki work in Labs (Stable) as well. Any kind souls to guide me?

[ecmeins]

I too am looking to implement the mediawiki amp file against Labs 3 (stable).  Vote has been cast in the JIRA for a fix and I will gladly test any patch recipes against my dev install while awaiting an update.

Thanks,

Eric

[philnicholls]

Wow, I'm sort of a bit gobsmacked that it's nine months later, we're now on Alfresco v3.2, and this is still broken.

If it's not been fixed, then why is the amp file included in the download area? Or am I missing something?

[miudon]

Hi!
Unfortunately, I have the same problem with Alfresco Community 3.3.0 (2765) schema 4009 - Originally installed version 3.3.0 (2765).

[mfischer]

Same for me (3.2r, 3.3g) - would be fine if anyone could upload the modified class-files…
