[Phpwiki-talk] ALLOW_ANON_EDIT

[Mike C. <mca...@cs...>]

Talkers,

I am running a wiki and if I set ALLOW_ANON_EDIT to false, it doesn't 
seem to behave.  For example, people who are not signed in can still 
edit a page.

I dug into the code and found one reference to 
REQUIRE_SIGNIN_BEFORE_EDIT (which is defined as the opposite of 
ALLOW_ANON_EDIT) in PagePerm.php.  It is in a block of code related to ACL.

Are ACLs working?  How do I work with them?  Can I set a system-wide ACL 
setting that affects all pages?

To be clear, my objective is to have a wiki where only people who are 
signed in and authenticated can edit a wikipage.

Thanks!

Mike

yes, it defines the default ACL.

yes, it works, but is not yet extensively tested.
every page passes its ACL to its subpages. the page from which every 
page derives its ACL is a page named ".", which does not normally exist.

all this is written down in clear text in lib/PagePerm.php. you already 
have been there.

I do not quite understand how to change the actual ACL settings.  So if 
"." is the master page, how do I create a "." page and then edit ACL 
settings for that page?  I tried creating a "." page (which doesn't 
exist) so I put the . in the text box, hit "Create Page" and all of a 
sudden I am on "Edit: HomePage".

Thanks for the help rurban.

Right. Sorry.
I forbid recently such invalid pagenames.
Will be fixed asap.

I have a lot of pending fixes on my harddisc and in my mind...
