[Mediawiki-l] Questions about Priviledges/Tuning in MediaWiki

[johan.boye at latecoere.fr]

Hello, 

 I am quite new in the Mediawiki world but I am trying actively to
introduce it in my Company for online work but I have a couple of
security related questions. I also know Wiki has been made to be open as
much as possible that is why the editing granularity privileges are not
fully implemented.

 About my config: 
  Linux Apache 2.0.* with Mediawiki 1.9.3 tweaked to run with .php5
files (5.1.6)
  Extension:HttpAuth & MultipleUpload plug-ins added who works perfectly


 Basically, I need to fix a couple of things before put it in
production: 
   1) I would like to restrict access by 'area' in the wiki, on the
Mediawiki logic, sound like I should go on the Category restriction way.
SO, Is there a way to restrict the "editors" by category?  (I tested
'Extension:Group Based Access Control',
'Extension:DisallowAccessOnCategory' who gives me PHP error or doesn't
have any effect)
   2) I would like to improve the number of icons in the editor (like
wikipedia did with icons & tools tips at the bottom), is there a tut
somewhere to add functions ? (tables / categories / gallery & so on) (I
tried AddButtonExtention but i have this error : "Parse error: syntax
error, unexpected '-', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or '$' in
/mnt/intranet/IE/wiki/extensions/AddButtonExtension/AddButtonExtension.p
hp on line 60")  (Maybe because I'm using php4 with .php & .php5 for
php5 ?)

   Thanks by advance

	Johan
