Bug to add groups to a site in Alfresco 7.3

Hello,

I need an advice.

I installed Alfresco Community, v7.3.0 which was the current distribution few weeks ago and still is.

I cannot add groups to a site, because the search of groups from the "add group" page of the site will return nothing.

I tracked the problem in /alfresco-remote-api/src/main/resources/alfresco/templates/webscripts/org/alfresco/repository/site/membership/potentialmembers.get.js, mikolajbrzezinski added a faulty " [hint:useCQ]" which is not processed by the group search code, apparently withouth testing it on groups, since it absolutely doesn't work. There is a comment by luiscolorado and the problem is there since version 7.2.1 up to current one at least (7.3.0).

This was fixed by rrajoria in november, but the fix is not present in the distribution zip.

My question is:

This is a blocking problem, what is the correct way to handle it so that I can have a working installation being given that I do not intend to build my own custom version of the product, but that I could build and install an amp or an extension jar for instance ?

PS: I suggest that you put the fix in the public distribution kit asap, because this bug really breaks completely the site functionality...

Thank you

Michel

When doing a minor upgrade (like this one) replacing the WARs and applying the extensions should be enough.

And, yes, you were to the right place. https://artifacts.alfresco.com is the official distribution site.
