How can I hide tabs for users not logged in?

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
