Hi everybody. We'd like to create a "Contrib" namespace which will be the only namespace where users of "user group" will be allowed to edit or create pages. We've tried the following, but as a result, when we connect to the wiki as a "user", and when we type Contrib:bobopage in search box, we don't have access to create nor edit this page, even it is located inside Contrib. What did we wrong ? (the namespace is present in box/menu resulting from search, with all others namespaces)
Ac
---------------------- here bellow the code inside LocalSettings.php ---------------------------
# Add CUSTOM namespaces and regulate access to ## Add "Contrib" namespace $wgExtraNamespaces[500] = "Contrib"; # creation of namespace at 500 indice $wgExtraNamespaces[501] = "Contrib_talk"; # creation of talk namespace at 500 + 1 = 501 indice define("NS_CONTRIB", 500); # define a constant for the namespace define("NS_CONTRIB_TALK", 501); # define a constant for the talk namespace $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_CONTRIB] = "Contrib"; $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_CONTRIB_TALK] = "Contrib_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 500; # make the namespace content taken in account by statistics tools ## access to "Contrib" namespace # block / allow access to custom namespaces defined $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false; # forbid access to users $wgGroupPermissions['user']['editcontrib'] = true; # give rights to be "editcontrib" to users $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_CONTRIB] = array( 'editcontrib' ); # give rights to "editcontrib" rights owners

you cant deny the edit-right, cause without it, you cant edit anything. If you want normal user just to be able to edit CONTRIB and CONTRIB_TALK, you will have to protect every other namespace like this:
$wgNamespaceProtection[NS_MAIN] = array( 'edit-main' ); $wgNamespaceProtection[NS_TALK] = array( 'edit-main' ); and so on.
And then you have to give the "edit-main"-right to every group that should be able to edit those namespaces:
$wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit-main'] = true; and so on
also, your definition of those custom namespaces is redundant. Just use this:
define("NS_CONTRIB", 500); # define a constant for the namespace define("NS_CONTRIB_TALK", 501); # define a constant for the talk namespace $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_CONTRIB] = "Contrib"; $wgExtraNamespaces[NS_CONTRIB_TALK] = "Contrib_talk"; $wgContentNamespaces[] = 500; # make the namespace content taken in account by statistics tools
Hope that helps. Greetings and good luck stip
