with shared userdirs pagetrails become erroneous

It's simple: if you share user information all wikis write all information. So you see the trail of yourself in another wiki. The problem is that you will not be able to follow the trail paths, because the pages exist on the other wiki. -- ThiloPfennig 2006-09-05 00:51:14

Steps to reproduce

• create two wikis.
• notha have a user_dir setting, so both share userinformation
• browse arround in one wiki
• reload a page on the other wiki
• you will see the pagenames of the other wiki

Discussion

I don't know if this can be fixed if both wikis have user_dir set? I guess not.

Possible solutions:

• Maybe add wiki name in page trail ?
• Write different trails for each wiki (both wikis should know of each other!?)

Thilo: Did you also set interwiki names for both wikis in their respective wikiconfig.py files? Did you also add the new interwikinames to the interwiki list of both wikis so that they can resolve these names? When I look at the code in user.py, the page trail, quicklinks and page subscriptions should theoretically work, because if the wiki has an interwiki name this name is saved together with the pagename. But I haven't tested this yet because I don't have a farm... -- OliverSiemoneit 2006-11-18 21:32:37

• Do also have a look at HelpOnUserHandling for more on setting up shared user accounts.

This "bug" description is a bit unclear. If you share user information between wikis, it is a FEATURE, not a bug, to have a common trail. If that is not what you mean, please clarify. -- ThomasWaldmann 2006-11-19 11:14:07
