I will give those a more careful read through. In general, I accept that it may not be perfect; at least attacks based on the above problems can be detected in our Apache logs. > Even if there would be a way to hide certain SMW properties in the > factbox (as its easy to hide them on the page itself) I don't see a > straightforward method to hide these data in the page source when the > page is edited.

For my case, I modified the Factbox to not show attributes with "secret_" as a substring of their name, and I'm planning on restricting edits and even view-source for those pages. It's not a whole lot of pages, just people's user pages with their personal information (the idea is that the site admins want to use this to e.g. send things to the users in the mail, and want to use SMW queries to pick out who to send things to, but the users may not be comfortable publishing that publicly) - so restricting edits on those pages is no problem for us. Thanks to all who contributed to this thread; maybe in another three months I'll report back. -- Asheesh. -- You will receive a legacy which will place you above want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
