[EP-tech] Re: Restored users do not sort properly

Hi Florian,

Perhaps your ordering issue relates to the following issue:

Hi sebastien,

Yes, the patch looks promising. :-)


About exporting passwords: perhaps you can patch the relevant code in
EPrints for the duration of your export (MetaField::Secret::to_sax
presumably).
Your answer makes me wonder if that will really be complete then. I think I'll gather the required dependencies from the sql dump in order to have complete control over what is inserted. May VIM support me on this impossible quest. 



When you INSERT'ed the missing users, did you also INSERT data into the
aux. tables (user_roles etc)?
No, I hoped EPrints would silently recreate them, such a //= kind of thing. When e-prints or users are created, those dependent entities are created as well. So naive-me would wish the system would make sure, on the epadmin recommit command at least, that every dataobj is fully functional and lacks of nothing the system would likewise care for when creating it anew via the web interface. But then, as a programmer's notion, this requirement yet smells of smelling code unless planned and thought-over and drafted for a month or so. :-) 


Kind regards
Florian

Hello everyone,

After removing a number of users by accident using the EPrints 3.3.10
API, I restored them from our backup via piping INSERT INTO `users`
commands into mysql database. That worked, but when I navigate  to the
list of all users in the web interface (Manage Records > Users) and
click there on the username column, the list is reordered to whatever
except by username. I tried the other columns, they fail to sort
properly either. What did I miss?

- epadmin reorder $repo user
- epadmin recommit $repo user
- epadmin cleanup_cachemaps $repo
- epadmin reindex $repo user
- epadmin reorder $repo user
- epadmin rehash $repo user

All these were to no avail.

Now I would try reimporting all users with XML, but I hesitate because
in the XML output file the password hashes are missing. How to include
them? Had a glance into the sources and infered from
EPrints::MetaField::Secret::to_sax() that --arg show_secrets=1 to the
XML export would do, but apparently I was wrong:
"Plugin Export::XML does not accept argument show_secrets"

Appreciate your help very much!

Kind regards
Florian
