Question

Where can I find documentation of the new fucntions in TWiki 4 and the old functions that they replace?

I have modications to a TWiki 3 install and notice drastic changes to the TWiki::Store.pm file. For example, the addUserToTWikiUsersTopic is gone. I noticed that there is now a TWiki::UI::Register.pm but its taking quite a bit of time to dig through the code again.

PeterThoeny mentioned in the HandlingCairoDakarPluginDifferences has more topic that there was such an API, but I can't find it when searching. Any help is appreciated.

Also, TWikiUsersDotPm does not reflect the current Users.pm that comes with 4.0.3

You might want to stop by TWikiIRC, best if the european daylight time and get some realtime support for these issues.

Use the documentation that comes with your install. TWiki.TWikiUsersDotPm in your install should be your starting point, as it is generated from the pod docs in the sources you are actually using.

Crawford - That documentation doesn't include any information about migrating from the previous version of TWiki. Per my original post, Peter mentioned there was a doc that gave the T3 functions and explained what replaced them.

The addUserToMapping is very different from the method addUserToTWikiUsersTopic. It does not have the same parameters as addUserToTWikiUsersTopic did.

I used to be able to lock down viewing on the TWikiUser topic and to avoid the perm denied errrors, I had to pass the ignore view permissions flag to the addUserToTWikiUsersTopic. I am trying to figure out if that is still necescary and how to do it.

Thanks.
