Extension talk:DisallowAccessOnCategory

Unfortunatly the text of the introduction still moves over that Extensions-Box. If anyone knows the cause for this please, fix it for me :-)

Troubleshooting
Does this actually work? require_once ("$IP/extensions/DisallowAccessOnCategory.php");
 * I untarred DisallowAccessOnCategory.php into /mediawiki/extensions
 * added the following LocalSettings.php
 * 1) Activate ACL on Categories

$wgGroupPermissions['EERLSTAFF']['read'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['EERLSTAFF']['edit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['EERLSTAFF']['createpage'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['EERLSTAFF']['createtalk'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['EERLSTAFF']['minoredit'] = true; $wgGroupPermissions['EERLSTAFF']['protected'] = true;
 * 1) security based on Category
 * 2) define rights of "EERLSTAFF"
 * 1) allow EERLSTAFF to use the pages of the "Protected" Category


 * added a category to a page

But things aren't working. Any authenticated user can see the page-- not just someone assigned to the EERLSTAFF group.

Using mediawiki 1.9.3

I have never used this extension but in reading the page i believe what they are trying to explain is that you use the "protected" category not the group name. Try this and see if it works:

You should add $wgGroupPermissions['*']['your category'] = false;    /* <-- prevents anonymous users from seeing the pages */ $wgGroupPermissions['user']['your category'] = false; /* <-- prevents logged in users from seeing the pages */

I just tried and it functions very well.
