SID-00987: Help with Deleted group problem

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.0	Perl version:	5.8.8
Category:	CategoryInstallation	Server OS:	Centos 5.5 x64	Last update:	15 years ago

Hi, I created a wrong group name. And to keep things clean, I wanted to delete the group. So I went into TWikiGroups and selected more topic actions. I went down to Delete Topic (the recommended one) and selected it. I saw the list of all groups, so I selected Clear all at bottom and only selected the Group I wanted to delete.Then Selected the Delete button. Now when I go back into TWikiGroups, I only see a post by TWikiAdminUser and no more groups. If I go back into the More topic actions under the now blank Twikigroups, I can see the groups, and the group that I deleted is no longer there.

How do I get back my groups when I seleck TWikiGroups?

thanks

Discussion and Answer

I now see that when I go into TwikiGroups More actions on topics, Delete Topic, there is a section that says

Optionally change topic name: MainTWikiGroups1 This name has been chosen so it doesn't conflict with any other topics already in the Trash web.

Were my twikigroups renamed to TWikiGroups1? If so how can I find it?

thanks

Go to the Trash web, find the topic with the original content (MainTWikiGroups or MainTWikiGroups1), go to more screen and move the topic to the Main web, giving it the name TWikiGroups.

When does the hurting Stop!!!

Ok, I went to the trash web, found the Trash.TWikigroups topic and went into the more actions/rename/more (recommended) and selected to restore to the Main web and gave it the name of TWikiGroups. I got an error that it already existed. So in short I renamed the existing (BAD) Twiki Groups to TWikiOldGroups and was the able to rename the trash.TWikiGroups.

Now on the main web, under Main Web Utilities, I cannot see my TWikiGroups, only the TWikiOldGroups. But I can see in the right hand side under Recent changes in Main Web the change for TWikiGroups. If I select it, i seem to have what I need. How can I get it to show up under Main Web utilities because I guess that in 10 more main web changes, my TWiki groups will no longer be in the recent changes for me to access.

thanks for the prompt replies.

regards

Marc
