Hi Corey, we re trying to restrict access (We want to take content through a publication process i.e. not available to public at first).
We tried to disable edit rights to guest accounts based on Category with Cascading selected but it only applies to page selected, managing many pages like this will be high maintenance and ultimately lead to having some exposed when we miss them.
We saw this extension that seems to look like what we need:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Restrict_access_by_category_and_group
Additionally we need to disable even viewing of some categories for our guest account white list access approach where we disable viewing of all pages unless access is given.
We saw this:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access#Restrict_viewing_of_all_pages
- Disable reading by anonymous users $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; # But allow them to read e.g., these pages: $wgWhitelistRead = array ( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "Help:Contents", "-");
- Like previous, but for French (be careful of encoding! save file as UTF-8!)
- $wgWhitelistRead = array( ":Page Principale", "Special:Userlogin", "Aide en français");
What do you suggest?
Thanks a mil!!
