Morning all,
I'd like to set up security on a MW site so that:
- the world can see the main page
- only logged-on users can go further
- users have to be approved before gaining initial access
Failing this, all under security, pre-approved and I'll do a separate index
page.
Is there a straightforward way to do this, please?
In LocalSettings.php:
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;
$wgWhitelistRead = array("Main Page", "Special:UserLogin",
"Special:RequestAccount");
and install <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmAccount>
See <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Preventing_access> for more
details.
