I agree with some of your points. If it's an intranet site this may be just fine. If not, he has the if-test and he can use it however he wants. No need to leave out the cache answer: + $parser->disableCache(); # Mark this content as uncacheable if ($wgUser->isLoggedIn()) I do disagree with this though, "MediaWiki is not built for partial-read restriction, don't do it." SMW lets us conditionally hide, transpose, and re-arrange content easily using templates and restrict access to groups, and those certainly amount to partial-read restrictions. Perhaps you meant something more along the lines of it shouldn't be used as a per-user per-page conditional access system. -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Daniel Friesen Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2012 7:31 AM To: mediawiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] I need to Hide a single page from Un-login users Quite frankly this is some pretty bad advice. Firstly don't forget the parser cache. The parser cache will mean that the page output will be cached in either logged-in or logged-out form and people that are supposed to see the other form will see the wrong one. Additionally it's a ridiculous suggestion, you're not even hiding the page you're just wrapping the content with some css and making it look like the content isn't there when the whole page is there and the whole content is there to see. MediaWiki is not built for partial-read restriction, don't do it. -- ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://daniel.friesen.name] On Wed, 11 Jan 2012 07:14:18 -0800, Sal Quintanilla <salquint(a)gmail.com> wrote: _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
