New version of the accesscontrol extension for MediaWiki

I adjusted the extension, so it's now working under MediaWiki 1.7.

The extension can be downloaded under http://www.pagansoft.de/download/accesscontrol-0.2.zip.

The new version is tested on MediaWiki 1.6.8 und 1.7.1.

beside the adjustment for MediaWiki 1.7 there are some little bugfixes and changes:

first of all: I switched to english for this article, so the international audience is better involved in the project
I took the settings in an extra file (extensions/accesscontrolSettings.php) just to keep the LocalSettings.php clean
there is a new Setting: $wgWikiVersion for switching between mediaWiki 1.6 and 1.7
All users in the sysop-Group (the one from mediaWiki) can now see and edit the protected pages, so if you made a mistake, you can always correct it, even if the page is protected

There is still something to do like protection from edit and hiding the protected pages.

My original article with the last version can be found here.

deine Extension funktioniert bei mir wunderbar. Leider habe ich nur das Problem , dass ich nicht mehrere Benutzergruppen authorisieren kann. Er blendet mir zwar den Satz ein "Diese Seite ist nur für die Gruppen xxx zugänglich!!!"; es steht aber immer nur die letzte eingetragene Gruppe drin und nur diese hat auch Zugriff. Außerdem habe ich das Problem, dass die "Kein Zugriff"-Seite trotz Accesscontrol von jedem editiert werden kann.

Hellow Dave!!!

I`ll try to use this plugin and understand that it is really what I need to add to my MediaWiki.

Only one thing is incorrect:
when we use "Group_1" in accesslist tag -- all works as must be (on the top of page is "access to this page allowed for Group_1 only", but if we have two or more groups Group_1,,Group_2 we get only "access to this page allowed for Group_2 only".
Looks like some minor bug in accesscontrol.php.

here is correct fragment of code:

-------------accescontrol.php------------
// make the textual group list for the message on the top
if ($first)
{
$allowedGroups = "[[".$groupTitle."|".trim($groupEntry)."]]";
# FIXME
$first = false;
}
else
-------------accescontrol.php------------

can you test this ?

Thank You for a good MediaWiki extension!

in the accesscontrol version 0.2 your changed code worked, but in the new 0.3 version it doesn't

do you have another idea?
