I'm still stumped on this. I've looked at Kwiki::PagePrivacy.pm and
don't understand how it works. I put prints into every sub and see them
being called when I'm in the admin view, but never from the normal view.
Is there anything that would help me understand how this module works?
How does it stop people viewing private pages?
Hi,
Hello Dave,
Thanks very much for this - it works now :)
I think I have this working; my setup is as follows:
* "root" wiki view lives in .../wiki (this has no "edit page" or "new"
functionality and private pages should not be accessible)
My root does have edit capability but it doesn't seem to matter (as one
would hope :)
* the admin view lives in .../wiki/admin (editing functions are
available here, as are the controls for setting pages' privacy level)
Yes, mine is in the same place.
.../wiki/plugins contains, amongst other entries:
Kwiki::PagePrivacy
OK this is the only place where I was different, because that file says:
# WARNING: THIS FOLOWING SECTION OF PLUGINS SHOULD NOT BE MADE AVAILABLE
# TO A PUBLICLY ACCESSABLE SITE! They offer capabilities which only the
# site administrator should have access to. Install these plugins in a
# password protected view of your kwiki. See
# http://www.kwiki.org/AdminView for more information.
So I had commented out PagePrivacy. I've now added it back again.
Everything else is the same as your configuration (ignoring default
editing capabilities)
.../wiki/config.yaml contains nothing related to PagePrivacy.pm.
.../wiki/admin/plugins contains, amongst other entries:
Kwiki::PagePrivacy
Kwiki::Edit
Kwiki::NewPage (etc)
.../wiki/admin/config.yaml is a symlink to ../config.yaml
.../wiki/admin/config2.yaml contains:
privacy_group: admin
The admin directory is protected by a .htaccess file.
This appears to do what I want. How does it compare to your setup?
So there was just the one change I had to make to get it working. I'll
add a warning/explanation on the AdminView & PagePrivacy pages of the wiki.
When testing this, I had some trouble with my browser caching old pages;
it's worth doing shift-control-reload (or whatever) after you've made a
change to be sure you're seeing the latest view of the wiki. Also don't
forget to run "kwiki -update" when you've made changes.
Good luck,
Dave
Thanks again,
Dave
