<span style="color: #630000; font-size: 19px; line-height: 1em;">Admin How-To</span> *Bulk register new users* (easiest way of adding users) * %SYSTEMWEB%.BulkRegistration. * Update %SYSTEMWEB%.SitePermissions (i.e., add new users to PolarGroup or KuoGroup for view/edit access to the various webs.) *Change existing login name* (e.g., from "KiWonYoon" to "kiwon"), manually modify: * %USERSWEB%.TWikiUsers topic * /twiki/data/.htpasswd entry on server *Permanently delete a web* (there is no web interface for this) * http://it-nonwhizzos.blogspot.com/2010/03/deleting-twiki-web.html. ---++ Admin To-Do * Find better search plugin and install. ---++ Admin Log (only for Twiki notes, system notes go here: KuoGroup.Clk1fAdminNotes) * Backed up twiki on clk-1d using %SYSTEMWEB%.BackupRestorePlugin and unpacked on clk-1f. * Also copied over clk-1d:/home/polar/twiki/data/.htpasswd to clk-1f:/home/webdir/twiki/data/. * For clk-1f detailed log before transition, look at KuoGroup.Clk1fAdminNotes * This twiki features a specially hacked batch upload, and %SYSTEMWEB%.LatexModePlugin * Since I didn't copy TWiki web, I had to copy %SYSTEMWEB%.UserCommentsTemplate from clk-1d to enable form entry for logbooks. See %SYSTEMWEB%.CommentPlugin for details. -- Main.ZeeshAhmed - 2013-04-22 *--- TRANSITION TO CLK-1F ----* * Installed %SYSTEMWEB%.BatchUploadPlugin, but doesn't work because of some permissions issue -- <span style="color: red;">BROKEN</span> -- Main.ZeeshAhmed - 2012-03-19 * Added a script to root's crontab on clk-1d that backs up the polar directory and the polar-drawings svn archive at 2200hrs daily to /media/disk-1. The script is /root/polar_backup.sh -- Main.ZeeshAhmed - 2012-02-21 * Attempted installation of [[http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/ImageGalleryPlugin][Image Gallery Plugin]] * Unzipped files, and noticed that ownership for several directories isn't apache:apache. Fixed the important directories; but perhaps this is the reason that kinosearch and other plugins didn't work? * This plugin requires the perl interface for [[www.imagemagick.org/][Image Magick]]. Instructions [[http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Support/HowToInstallImageMagickOnRedHat][here]]. * However, failed to install =libjpeg-devel= and =libpng-devel=. =yum= install not supported for our outdated OS, I believe, though I may be wrong. Didn't spend time figuring out how to do it. These are prereqs for Image Magick. * <span style="color: red;">BROKEN; DISABLED FOR NOW</span> -- Main.ZeeshAhmed - 2011-12-14 * Modified %USERSWEB%.TWikiPreferences to get rid of TWiki logo and copyright notices site-wide. -- Main.KiWonYoon - 2011-10-07 * Created [[KuoGroup.WebHome][Kuo Group web]]. Viewable/editable only by %USERSWEB%.KuoGroup members. Let's reserve %USERSWEB% web for system/admin uses only, as it holds site-wide preferences, user/group definitions, etc. * %SYSTEMWEB%.SitePermissions changed so only %SYSTEMWEB% and %USERSWEB% webs are viewable for unregistered users, and users must belong to a user group to edit appropriate webs. Had to add %USERSWEB%.TWikiRegistrationAgent to the %USERSWEB% web edit permission; new user registration confirm process fails otherwise. * Restarted sendmail on clk-1d with =% sendmail -bd -q10s= as root. Note this should be done every time clk-1d is rebooted. -- Main.KiWonYoon - 2011-10-04 * Created %SYSTEMWEB%.UserCommentsTemplate for specifying modified templates for %SYSTEMWEB%.CommentPlugin. -- Main.KiWonYoon - 2011-10-03 * Installed CPAN library prerequisites for installing %SYSTEMWEB%.SearchEngineKinoSearchAddOn * Installed %SYSTEMWEB%.SearchEngineKinoSearchAddOn. * Configured to update index on all saves. If this slows down the system, we'll have to set up a cron job instead. More details at %SYSTEMWEB%.SearchEngineKinoSearchAddOn#Indexing * Added fileextns indexed by %SYSTEMWEB%.SearchEngineKinoSearchAddOn at Main.TWikiPreferences. * Grr.. ./kinoindex not working. Tired. Will look into this later. * %RED%BROKEN; DISABLED FOR NOW%ENDCOLOR% -- Main.ZeeshAhmed - 2011-09-30 * Installed %SYSTEMWEB%.RevisionLinkPlugin. (Example usage: %REV{"1"}%) * Created PolarGroup. Changed !WebPreferences of various webs (via %SYSTEMWEB%.SitePermissions) so: * No access unless logged in, either as a "named" user or as PolarGuest. * PolarGuest only has read access; PolarGroup members have both read/write access to %USERSWEB% and BICEP3 webs. * Installed %SYSTEMWEB%.ActionTrackerPlugin for action items, to-do lists, etc. (As a pre-requisite, [[http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/TWiki/HowToInstallCpanModules#Install_CPAN_modules_into_your_l][updated CPAN module (lengthy...) and installed Time::ParseDate into local Perl library]].) * Installed %SYSTEMWEB%.LatexModePlugin. (Pre-requisite: installed CPAN Image::Info.) — %RED%BROKEN; DISABLED FOR NOW%ENDCOLOR% -- Main.KiWonYoon - 2011-09-29 * Added ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT setting to %USERSWEB%.TWikiPreferences; set at 100 MB limit. -- Main.KiWonYoon - 2011-09-28 * Disabled subwebs in configuration for faster Apache performance. * Enabled %SYSTEMWEB%.LoginName in configuration. * New registrants specify the login name (e.g., "polar"). * To change existing login name (e.g., from "KiWonYoon" to "kiwon"), manually modify %USERSWEB%.TWikiUsers topic and /twiki/data/.htpasswd entry. * Created BICEP3 web. Note there is no web admin interface for permanently deleting webs. See http://it-nonwhizzos.blogspot.com/2010/03/deleting-twiki-web.html. * Created PolarGuest user with login name "polar" and same passwd as old clk-1d website. -- Main.KiWonYoon - 2011-09-27
