Hi,
as my very private Wiki grew larger, a few people liked to use it as
well. So I needed to protect the sites, that are really private. Since
some kind of user rights is scheduled for version 1.5, here comes a
quickhack:
Wiki Version: 1.3.5 (maybe it works on later versions as well)
Insert the following into Title.php, function userCanRead(), right
after the globals have been defined (for me it's line 550):
# inserted by m:o
global $wgRequireUser;
$siteName = $this->getPrefixedText(); # pagename
$requiredUser = $wgRequireUser[$name];
$allowed = true;
foreach( $wgRequireUser as $siteRegExp =>
$requiredUser ){
$check= preg_match("/$siteRegExp/",
"$siteName");
if( $check==1 &&
$wgUser->getName()!=$requiredUser ) {
$allowed = false;
}
}
if( ! $allowed ) return false;
# /inserted by m:o
Then insert the following in your LocalSettings.php at the end, just
before the '?>':
#
# inserted by m:o
#
# set access rights
#
# usage:
# "regular expression that matches the site you want to protect" =>
"required user"
#
# examples:
# "^Linux" matches all sites beginning with "Linux"
# "Linux" matches all sites containing "Linux"
# "Linux$" % ending with "Linux"
#
$wgRequireUser = array (
"^Hauptseite:private$" => "Mo",
"^Tbd$" => "Mo",
"^Desy" => "Mo",
"^Grid" => "Mo",
"^Logbook$" => "Mo"
);
Nice! I've been looking for something like this. (Sorry, I haven't
studied enough of the Mediawiki code to comment on the security aspect
yet.)
Thanks,
Jacob
