Hide viewsource tab for users without edit permission (usually unregistered users if you've set it so): $wgHVTFUUviewsToRemove = array( 'viewsource' );

Tim (SVG)‎06:56, 28 May 2012

Hi Tim,

i want to hide "View Source" Tab for Anonymous users. In the LocalSettings.php If i set $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; then its hides the Edit Tab, Where as if i set $wgHVTFUUviewsToRemove = array( 'viewsource' ); its still shows the "View soruce" tab. So could you please help me. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, Mohan

If you are not loggedin, you shouldn't be able to see viewsource tab (and no edit tab because edit tab gets into viewsource tab if you have no permission to edit pages). Do you use my code from above? You can try to purge the cache with ?action=purge

Create folder HideVariousTabsFromUnauthorizedUsers in extensions directory, create HideVariousTabsFromUnauthorizedUsers.php file in HideVariousTabsFromUnauthorizedUsers folder and add the code below to your this file. Then add require_once ( "$IP/extensions/HideVariousTabsFromUnauthorizedUsers/HideVariousTabsFromUnauthorizedUsers.php" ); to your LocalSettings.php. Remove $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; and any other earlier setting of HideVariousTabsFromUnauthorizedUsers extension from LocalSettings.php.

Hi Tim

It seems to work so far for me, THANKS for this extension. I altered this

// Tabs of view to remove

$wgHVTFUUviewsToRemove = array( 'edit', 'history', 'read', 'talk', 'viewsource' );

But it looks like it only works in the main namespace. Tabs of Pages in the MediaWiki or User Namespace still appear. Any ideas ? If possible I would like to hide all Tabs for unlogged users

What version of MediaWiki do you use and how are the settings of your wiki's user rights? Sorry for my late reply!

Tim (SVG)‎11:11, 19 September 2012

Hi Tim,

is your extension still working with version 1.19.2. Maybe because of some different code in the newest vector skin? Thanks a lot!

Here my requirement is that Anonymous users should not see "Edit & View Source" tabs.

Thanks, Mohan
