If you need per-page or partial page access restrictions, you are advised to install an appropriate content management package. MediaWiki was not written to provide per-page access restrictions, and almost all hacks or patches promising to add them will likely have flaws somewhere, which could lead to exposure of confidential data.

Purpose [edit]
Provides a collection of permission management functionality.
Features [edit]
- Magic Word 'checkPermission' : verifies if 'user' is allowed 'right' and if *not* then the page 'Permission Error' is served.
- This function is rather useful for building 'forms'
- Rather only helpful when used in a 'ParserPhase2' context (e.g. (($#checkpermission|edit$)) )
- Static function 'getpermissionline'
- Meant to be itereated with using 'ForeachFunction' magic words
Usage [edit]
E.g. check to see if the current user has the 'edit' right
- (($#checkpermission|edit$))
Dependancies [edit]
- StubManager extension
Installation [edit]
See the Mediawiki Extension table entry "download" above.[1]
LocalSettings.php [edit]
Extension:ExtensionManager: See footnote[2]
- Add the following to LocalSettings.php, if the extension was downloaded from Jean-Lou Dupont's MediaWiki SVN directory (link in the download entry of the table above)[2]:
require_once( "$IP/extensions/ParserExt/ParserExt.php" );
- Since this Extensions is depending on StubManager, add the line after the StubManager include, or else your Wiki won't work.
PEAR [edit]PEAR is a repository of PHP software code.
require 'MediaWiki/ParserExt/ParserExt.php';

- ↑ The most recent release is always available through the extension's PEAR and SVN repositories. This page is not necessarily up-to-date.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 Extension:ExtensionManager does not require any modification to LocalSettings.php because ExtensionManager includes the extension.
Note that if PHP code caching is in place (e.g. APC, eAccelerator), then to successfully complete the installation a cache flush might be needed. - ↑ Modifications to
LocalSettings.phpis only necessary if not using Extension:ExtensionManager
History [edit]
- Added setting of contextual variable upon permission error
- Added clearing of page's text upon permission error
