Hello,
A group of people and I recently started using Mediawiki for a large
set of study notes. We started with the standard installation, users began
creating content, etc. I then took my first stab at editing
localsettings.php to restrict user privileges. Ever since doing so, all of
the content that had been created is no longer visible.
I have tried going back and commenting out the lines in
localsettings.php that I remember modifiying, but the content remains
invisible.
Can anyone help? There is a large group of people who are ready to kill
me because they think I erased all of their content. I sincerely hope that
this is not the case!
Best regards,
Rob
You haven't deleted anything.
Comment all the lines referring to $wgGroupPermissions
You probably did $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; so your users
can't read the content unless they are logged in (did they try?).
