I found it on meta for 1.6.5 (and, most likely, it works with 1.7.1): http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:User_rights#Questions function isAllowed($action='') { if ( $action === '' ) // In the spirit of DWIM return true; /* Special Cases */ global $wgTitle; //Allow them to edit talk pages if ($wgTitle->isTalkPage() && strcmp("edit", $action) == 0) return true; //No special cases relevant. Use established rules stored in DB. $this->loadFromDatabase(); return in_array( $action , $this->mRights ); } I don't know which one of $action == 'edit' (see previous post) or strcmp("edit", $action) == 0 is the most secure, sounds like both might be unsafe. Anyway, I would, at least, change the code above to : $this->loadFromDatabase(); if ($wgTitle->isTalkPage() && strcmp("edit", $action) == 0 && in_array('talk', $this->mRights)) return true; return in_array( $action , $this->mRights ); *If I were you, I would wait for most competent advices than mine about the safety of this kind of modification* Alexis

If one just use <pre> </pre> tags (or indentation implying the same!) between list elements, the list continuity is lost. (e.g. Numbered list will be broken here and will start at 1. in the next item!). There used to be a work around for this: # one # two <nowiki> </nowiki><pre><nowiki> TMP </nowiki></pre> # three Until recently this worked flowlessly. But not any more in > 1.7.1 versions!! Does anybody know why? I have been using this construct a lot and now things suddenly look ugly! Is this a known bug? Have a look at : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing_FAQ#Q:_Can_I_put_preformatted_t… before commenting please!

When the configuration is set to require email verification when creating an account by setting $wgEmailConfirmToEdit=true, is there a way to restrict account verification to spscific mail addresses such as "mymailserver.com" addresses. So for example, a user using the email address &quot;joe(a)mymailserver.com&quot; could successfully create an email verified wiki account while joe(a)msn.com would be denied? All I found in the archives is that this might require a modification of PHP code. Any ideas welcome. -Jim

Obviously usercan is a very much better way of handling restrictions compared with custom modifications to User.php (My experience with losing the mods @ upgrade is good evidence). Sadly, though, usercan seems NOT to work with 1.7.1 ! (I have attached my LocalSettings.php part below: // No anonymous editing allowed - $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['talk'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['talk'] = true; # Edit restrictions function wfSetEditRestrictions( &$title, &$user, $action, &$result ) { if( $action != 'edit' ) { return; } if( ( $title->isTalkPage() && !$user->isAllowed( 'talk' )) || (!$title->isTalkPage() && !$user->isAllowed( 'edit' )) ) { return false; } else { return true; } } # Set userCan hook $wgHooks['userCan'][] = 'wfSetEditRestrictions'; ----- Original Message ---- From: Rotem Liss &lt;rotemliss_net(a)fastmail.fm&gt; To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list &lt;mediawiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org&gt; Sent: Friday, September 15, 2006 2:25:20 AM Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Users can not 'talk' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Alexis Moinet wrote: You should not handle the talk pages editing in User::isAllowed ? it's a general function for *all* the permissions, and editing talk pages is not a "special case"! The right way would be to add the restrictions to Title::userCan via the hook userCan. Something like that in LocalSettings.php may work (I didn't check it), and will not be removed in upgrades: # Set group edit restrictions $wgGroupPermissions['*']['editpage'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['editpage'] = true; $wgGruopPermissions['*']['edittalk'] = true; # Set userCan hook $wgHooks['userCan'][] = 'wfSetEditRestrictions'; # Edit restrictions function wfSetEditRestrictions( &$title, &$user, $action, &$result ) { if( $action != 'edit' ) { return; } if( $title->isTalkPage() && !$user->isAllowed( 'edittalk' ) || !$title->isTalkPage() && !$user->isAllowed( 'editpage' ) { return false; } else { return true; } } _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)Wikimedia.org http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
