Extension für MediaWiki: Seitenbasierte Gruppen-Zugriffskontrolle

Ich habe eine Extension für MediaWiki (getestet mit MediaWiki 1.6.5) geschrieben, mit der man den Zugriff auf einzelne Seiten Gruppenbasiert regeln kann.

Die Extension kann unter http://www.pagansoft.de/download/accesscontrol.zip

heruntergeladen werden.

Der Code basiert auf der accesscontrol-Extension von Josh Greenberg

You wouldn't happen to know if your extension works with Mediawiki 1.5x would you?

Maybe you tested it on version 1.5?

Let me know thanks

I have tested it only on Version 1.6.5 but it should work also on 1.5.x

Hello I haved test your extension.I want to report a little but in your sourcecode comment.The final line of step 1:$wgAccessControlNoAccessPage = "/index.php/No_Access" .It should be "/wikisitedir/index.php/No_Access".What I tested is mediawiki1.5.8.my setting is:"/wiki/index.php/No_Access"

Thanks for your Feedback. Thats absolutely correct. This variable contains the complete realtive path to the No_Access Page.
I.e. if your Wiki has the URL http://yourwiki.com/wiki/index.php, the correct content of the Variable should be /wiki/index.php/NoAccess.

I took this example only for my own site, because I use no subdirectory but a subdomain for my wiki.

I've just got your patch working on my lab's wiki. One way around the problem that Usergroup pages can be changed to allow crackers to gain access is to hide them completely as well as edit protecting them.

I used Jérôme Combaz's restrict pages under mediawiki patch.

works great with your patch under 1.6.7.

Thankyou for writing such a great extension to wikimedia!

Thanks for your suggestion. The extension is not complete yet. I discovered yesterday, that it's still possible for the excluded Users to edit the page, if they will enter the URL directly in the browser. I am working on it.

#3.1 Martin Müller (Homepage) on 2006-07-28 19:58

also it seems quite possible for excluded users to find information simply by searching for the name of a group that has access

#3.1.1 ben on 2006-07-31 04:30

That's right. But the Userpages should be anyway protected by the Administrator.

#3.1.1.1 Martin Müller (Homepage) on 2006-08-09 07:58

I just found out that Jerome's patch is being discontinued for wikimedia 1.7.0, which leaves your extension as the sole contender for useful access control.

Jerome is now working on making his patch as an extension too.

With Jerome's old patch on wikimedia 1.6.7, an anonymous user who is not logged in cannot search for a Usergroup page that is marked "viewrestrict" group only.

I'd really like to help your effort, and I hope that we can develop a robust solution that can survive wiki updates working to provide per-page per-group privacy.

Thanks for writing this great extension.

Also, have you considered listing your extension on the wikimedia extensions page?

Not yet, as the Extension is not really safe yet. I just made a comment on the page of the original extension, which was the base of this work. If I consider this extension as safe, I will put it on the extensions page.
