There’s a extension that offer restricted access to your wiki, based on gropus and categories.
See: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Restrict_access_by_category_and_group

Hi Jerome,

Thanks for all your help with this patch. It really helped me get my site up and running. It’s too bad that you’re switching wikis! I just want to say Thank you.

I'm having some trouble with the $wgRestrictNewPages option, It doesn't seem to work with th update for MW1.10. I have verified that it does work with MW1.6.7 and the older 0.64 patch, although the new page appears in the recent changes unlike edits to restricted pages.

I'm not sure if I broke this in the 0.8.+ updates, or if it was broken by some previous change. perhaps the 0.70 change regarding "SQL requests are not modified anymore to check the restriction". I'm assuming that it was already broken in the 0.8 update.
Can anyone verify that $wgRestrictNewPages was still working with the use of patch versions 0.70, 0.71, 0.72, or 0.8? to help track down the problem?

I have adjusted the MW 1.7.1 patch to (mostly) work with MediaWiki 1.10.0

It is not very well tested. So it is maybe not a good idea to use it in a productive environment without extensive testing.

Hi Jerome,

Thanks for all your help with this patch. It really helped me get my site up and running. Now, however, I'm looking to open things up, so I won't need a complicated restriction extension. It's too bad that you're switching wikis! Good luck with it.

I think it's the current behaviour.

Hey,
Is it possible to have restricted pages searchable if a memeber of the 'viewrestrict' or 'restrict' group is the one doing the searching? It seems to me that this makes a lot of sense from a functionality point of view.

Just replace modified files with original files. The genuine files should have a .orig extension. The database modifications will be ignored, and will be removed when you will change the protect statut of articles.

Is there a quick way to uninstall this patch, without re-installing mediawiki from scratch? Thanks

Hi to all
Is there a way to associate articles to a group A and then make them visible only to that group A and not to other groups?
Restrict option lock all the page with articles to the other grous and they are unable to open the mail page.
I would like that some user can open their owner mail page.
Thank you
Stefano

@Stef : the group A that you mention is the 'restrict' group of the patch...

Hi! I had just setup pre-patched archive and everything works BUT restricting log entries.

RecentChanges show both restriction log entries and restricted pages history even for not logged in users.

I copied LocalSettings.php part as is with no custom changes whatever.

The wiki is setup in Ukrainian if that matters.

What can be wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!

I’m really confused. A friend of mine has me working on his wiki, version 1.6.8 and I really want to install this patch. I downloaded the restriction-beta-0.72.mediawiki-1.6.8.patch and have no idea where to install it in the wiki and where are you suppose to run the command

patch -p0 < restriction-version.mediawiki-version.patch???

Also, we already have pages up and users using our wiki. Can we still apply this patch?

In short, I pretty much need a step-by-step that is in laymen’s terms and not wiki jargon

I’m a total novice when it comes to all of this so thank you in advance

Hi. I applied your patch to my MW 1.5.3, and this is THE feature I needed. I mean, nothing more, nothing less. Really great thanks. However... I'm about to move to 1.8. In the ideal world, I would like this patch to be applied again on 1.8, and with my database still "remembering" all pages restricted before. Is it possible, forseen, forseenable?... This "remembering" question might be silly, but I have no clue how this works in reality. I just subscribed to the mailing list. I hope to have more news then. Thanks again.

Thanks Pupster.

Another way is to download the full patched version of mediawiki. A link is provided above in the post.

To apply the patch, upload the patch to your directory where mediawiki lives, then run the command

patch -p0 < restriction-version.mediawiki-version.patch

for example

patch -p0 < restriction-beta-0.8.mediawiki-1.7.1.patch

How do we apply the patch?

At the top of this page there is something that says "Apply patch" followed by some ambiguous code. Is this some sort of command line instructions we are to deploy?

Isn't there a way to replace one file with another by FTP, or to revise the file by manually replacing text?

Pour un newby très intéressé, une question qui vous paraîtra débile, et pourtant !
– comment lancer le patch sur Debian ?

Par : Jerome Combaz

Jerome Combaz — Mon, 16 Oct 2006 13:32:17 +0000

@Vaddy : avez-vous essayé la procédure décrite ici ? sous debian probablement aucun problème. Le paquet 'patch' doit cependant être installé.
