yourwiki.com. The only problem with this method (changing Mediawiki:Mainpage) is once a user logs in they are taken back to the Special:UserLogin page, not the Main Page. Is there anyway to accomplish this and redirect back to the Main Page?

Whoops - copy-paste error: header("Location: /wiki/Special:UserLogin"); Should be: header("Location: ".$title->getURL()); On 7/30/07, Jim Wilson &lt;wilson.jim.r(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:

Pasted from example extension ;-) I wasn't sure how to avoid output. So i quitted the script. Yes, i know it being crap :-)

IIRC, the OutputPage::loginToUse() method is what needs to be modified here; set it to redirect straight to the login page (or just instantiate the Userlogin special page and call its execute() method).

We have a similar setup to what you require, except that we allow the Main Page to be seen by everyone. Below is the section of configuration from our LocalSettings.php to achieve this: Hope this helps, Graeme # # The following line should be commented, otherwise these settings will # throw away the settings on DefaultSettings.php (you probably don't want this). # With this line commented you will only overwrite the settings you explicitly # define here (that's what you probably want). #$wgGroupPermissions = array(); $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false; #Prevent new user registrations $wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "user" => 0, "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1); # Pages anonymous (not-logged-in) users may see $wgWhitelistRead = array ("Main Page", "Special:Userlogin"); ************************************************ The information contained in, or attached to, this e-mail, may contain confidential information and is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed and may be subject to legal privilege.

Graeme: I have similar settings in my LocalSettings.php: # allow all users to view forbidden error page $wgGroupPermissions['*']['viewforbidden'] = true; # Disable reading by anonymous users $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false; # But allow them to read the login page $wgWhitelistRead = array( "Special:Userlogin" ); This is close to what I am looking for. Anonymous users navigating to the site immediately receive a message stating they must login and cannot proceed further until they login. But I would like them to be sent to the login form instead of receiving the message. Is this just not possible? ----------------------------- Jason Spirko Systems Administrator Xoran Technologies Inc. -----Original Message----- From: mediawiki-l-bounces(a)lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:mediawiki-l-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org] On Behalf Of Thompson, Graeme (AELE) Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2007 3:02 AM To: MediaWiki announcements and site admin list Subject: Re: [Mediawiki-l] Use Special:UserLogin as Main Page We have a similar setup to what you require, except that we allow the Main Page to be seen by everyone.
