Re: [Tikiwiki-devel] 3.8 to 6.0b3 upgrade problem

[<ge...@en...>]

Hi Jonny - thanks

I've just re-run the installer and the db error did not occur second time
around - but I still have the admin problem

The admin user has not actually 'fallen out' out of the Admins Group - its
odd because admin still has some permissions - one of which user admin - so
I've checked that. Also there wasn't any "little form" that was shown.

When you say 'remove them all' I assume you mean keep the categories as
named - otherwise you'll lose all the content assignments - but just remove
the specific permissions assigned.

This might make sense even when there are a lot of them - since it might be
easier to rebuild them in the 'new' way from scratch since the old simple
category permissions don't work anyway. Perhaps I will use custom profiles -
as this might be a bit quicker than all the (still) quite complicated
assignments you need to do with the new category permissions screens

Looks like I should roll back the site to the 3.8 instance and try that
route

More anon no doubt

Hi Geoff & list

Good to get some feedback from the betas - the UPDATE
users_objectpermissions error you get will be from one of the category perms
overhaul that happened in tiki 4. It's a php script so not "ignorable" (does
it happen again if you re-run the installer?)

I have found the best thing for Tiki 3 sites using category perms is to
remove them all and start again - the way you had to do stuff in 3.x was so
convoluted that what seems like a really complicated setup in 3 should be
comparatively simple in 4+. However, i know you have sites with a lot of
groups and categs so this may not be possible...

The mapping of perms that these scripts do is the best we can manage, mainly
because before 4 categ perms were essentially broken, and so people had to
do all sorts of workarounds to achieve their desired effect, and each case
can be quite different.

As far as the admin not having tiki_p_admin goes - i believe this can happen
when the admin user "falls out of" the Admins group (sometimes this can
happen if Admins is renamed). There should be a little form to fix this on
the installer when you update from 3 to 6 - did you see it? (and use it?)

6.0 needs to be released very soon (see next mail), and upgrading from the
previous LTS is obviously essential - so i hope we can get these resolved
and/or the release notes amended to tell people how to cope with these
things.

(p.s. if you can send over the database i'll have a go myself if/when i can
clear some time)
