[Mediawiki-l] Permissions Issue

Hello,

I've been quite busy with other work, and wasn't able to continue working on my permissions issue. Nevertheless, I have been able to get the permissions to work for the four groups I setup. However, any users just in the Bureaucrat and or Sysop group doesn't have access to either of the four groups - unable to access any pages with the Namespaces outlined below.

Here is the error: The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups *, user.

This is what I have configured in the LocalSettings.php file: $wgExtraNamespaces[100] = "NetRedesign"; $wgExtraNamespaces[102] = "Border"; $wgExtraNamespaces[104] = "Dwight"; $wgExtraNamespaces[106] = "Ensg";

require_once( "extensions/NamespacePermissions.php" );

$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault = array( NS_MAIN => 1, NS_USER => 1, 100 => 1, 102 => 1,104 => 1,106 => 1);

$wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100_edit" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100_read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100_create" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100_move" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100_upload" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RO" ][ "ns100_read" ] = true;

Hello,

I am trying to configure a wiki to allow specific users to see/access only to certain pages. My method of achieving this is to add three extra NameSpaces and three Groups (assign group access to individual users).

Current Setup: -------------------------- MediaWiki: 1.11.0 PHP: 5.1.6 MySQL: 5.0.77

Setup on my test wiki: --------------------------------- - Created three groups - Created three extra NameSpaces - Assigned myself to a group with RW (Border) - Created page with NameSpace(Border:xxxxxx)

Wikitext: * [[Border:WikiSetup|Wiki Setup]]

Problem: If I try to access the page with the NameSpace in question, there is no affect, whether I set the $wgGroupPermissions to true or false (I can view the page). Also, If I set it to RO, I can edit the page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is my configuration in the LocalSettings.php file:

$wgExtraNamespaces[100] = "NetRedesign"; $wgExtraNamespaces[102] = "Border"; $wgExtraNamespaces[104] = "Dwight";

$wgNamespacesToBeSearchedDefault = array( NS_MAIN => 1, NS_USER => 1, 100 => 1, 102 => 1, 104 => 1);

$wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100edit" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100create" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100move" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RW" ][ "ns100upload" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "NetRedesign_RO" ][ "ns100read" ] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RW" ][ "ns102edit" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RW" ][ "ns102read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RW" ][ "ns102create" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RW" ][ "ns102move" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RW" ][ "ns102upload" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Border_RO" ][ "ns102read" ] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RW" ][ "ns104edit" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RW" ][ "ns104read" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RW" ][ "ns104create" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RW" ][ "ns104move" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RW" ][ "ns104upload" ] = true; $wgGroupPermissions[ "Dwight_RO" ][ "ns104read" ] = true;

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
