Bug: We need to have the WebLeftBarExample in the Cairo distro

The CairoReleaseUpgradeGuide instructions tell people to put a copy of WebLeftBarExample.txt in as WebLeftBar in all webs.

UpgradeTWiki needs this file to exist, so it can follow these instructions

It's not in the latest beta, nor in the PatternSkin.zip file attached to PatternSkin.

At the moment UpgradeTWiki assumes that it will be in the release, and gives the user a warning message if it doesn't find it (and doesn't do that part of the configuration).

In addition, topics that should be in all webs should be in _default ... I can't tell if WebLeftBar is in there now, but a default version should be, right?

(Note - I was slightly confused to see in CairoReleaseUpgradeGuide that it pointed to TWiki:WebLeftBarExample instead of WebLeftBarExample... almost as if the intent was to point at TWiki:TWiki/WebLeftBarExample ... which would have made sense if there was no expectation that WebLeftBarExample would be distributed. However, that would mean that UpgradeTWiki couldn't do the job, which would not be great).

Test case

ls data/TWiki/WebLeftBarExample.txt

ls data/_default/WebLeftBar.txt

Fix record

This morning I've added these files to the beta webs. If everything goes right these will be included in the distro.

OK, I just created one more Beta to test this out, http://TWiki.org/release/TWiki20040816beta.zip. This beta is silent, not widely announced. It is the production release minus updates to TWikiHistory and TWikiUpgradeGuide.

Notice that as described in CairoReleaseUpgradeGuide, two new topics need to be copied to each existing web: WebLeftBar and WebSearchAdvanced.

I tested the new version of UpgradeTWiki against the new new beta, and all appears to work fine.

It happily copied the WLBExample into the existing webs.

The first thing I did with my upgraded TWiki was enable PatternSkin, and WebLeftBars appeared successfully in my exising webs.
