Re: [Mediawiki-l] Twiki or Wiki???

In a message dated 10/22/2006 2:38:17 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, nicholas_buttle(a)yahoo.com writes: Overall I'm happier with the mediawiki system than the Twiki. But I'm being asked to investigate the Twiki system as the powers that be think it will be better as a corporate knowledgebase (more control over user access and better suited to a categorised information resource). What I would like to know is... How much control can the admin exert over user access to pages? ie can certain pages be locked down once they have been created? And, can I create something with mediawiki that has the categorisation of the Twiki system? I thought about modifying the navigate menu to correspond to the 'webs' menu on twiki... Any suggestions welcome. TIA Nicholas GroupWiki is a MediaWiki clone with extra control over user access. Individuals and groups access can be controlled on a page-by-page basis. _http://sourceforge.net/projects/groupwiki_ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/groupwiki) Custom namespaces in recent release of mediawiki offer some improved control over broad categorization -- whether it is like Tikiwiki I can't say.

new user welcome message
by city wiki 22 Oct '06

22 Oct '06

I design a {{welcome}} template for new users. I used to paste it in "user talk" when someone new came round. Now the wiki has grown a little larger and it's quite annoying to do it by hand. Is there anyway to have it done automatically?

Help with LDAP Configuration and Windows 2003 Active Directory
by SHane Parkinson 22 Oct '06

22 Oct '06

Folks, I am by no means an expert in either PHP, LDAP, Active Directory or a Windows 2003 Administration but I'm trying to set up a proof of concept in a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain which is configured as a domain name of "HOME" with DNS = "home.local" (dns forwarders are configured on this domain) I have read the pages on LDAP (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LDAP_Authentication) and LDAP Configuration Examples (http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/LDAP_Authentication_Configuration_Examples) and I am in "learning sponge mode" trying to understand the details to get this running. The configuration required is to disallow anonymous users to read the content pages of the wiki as the wiki will operate in an extranet style configuration. A large percentage of staff are working remotely or externally to the company's infrastructure. To reduce the number of username/passwords staff have to remember I'm trying to have users authenticate against the Windows Active Directory. As a first attempt to understand the rather steep learning curve in LDAP/AD/PHP I followed the examples provided in the LDAP Authentication Configuration examples and customised for the pilot network I'm using (see below). These setting we copied into the localSettings.php and the DefaultSettings.PHP require_once( "includes/LdapAuthentication.php" ); $wgAuth = new LdapAuthenticationPlugin(); $wgLDAPDomainNames = array( "Home" ); $wgLDAPServerNames = array( "HOME"=>"sydaapms37-pede.home.local" ); $wgLDAPSearchStrings = array( "Home"=>"HOME\\USER-NAME" ); $wgLDAPUseSSL = true; //not recommended but OK for testing $wgLDAPUseLocal = false; $wgMinimalPasswordLength = 1; $wgLDAPRetrievePrefs = false; I have created a domain user called "tester1" and added this user to a group called "Wiki" although I don't think I have created any configuration entries related to this user group. The domain name is displayed as "HOME" on the login page but all user accounts tested (including the windows administrator account) generate the following error: The password you entered is incorrect (or missing). Please try again. I've also got behaviour where after hitting the login button, I receive a blank page, i.e. it returned nothing, no error message etc, simply a blank page. I have reached the limits of my knowledge as to where to look/investigate why I cannot log in correctly. The passwords are correct and test accounts cannot be locked out. I have tried changing the $wgLDAPUseSSL from false to true but this makes no difference and I haven't, as far as I'm aware enabled SSL. If anybody can assist reducing this newbie's learning curve, your assistance would be greatly appreciated Regards Shane

Re: [Mediawiki-l] Design querry: history tab
by ApostateAmish＠aol.com 22 Oct '06

22 Oct '06

As it turns out, showing the history tab only to users with edit privileges was an easy modification. It simply required adding if "$this->mTitle->userCanEdit()" to the "if" statement on line 653 of skintemplate.php. The complete line now reads " if ( $this->mTitle->userCanEdit() && $this->mTitle->getArticleId() )" The more daunting task is controlling who can edit, but that was handily resolved by installing GroupWiki from _http://sourceforge.net/projects/groupwiki_ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/groupwiki) .
