ifUserCan bugfix
-	public function ifUserCan(&$parser, $action, $title, $then, $else = '') { return $title->userCan($action) ? $then : $else; } +	public function ifUserCan(&$parser, $action, $title, $then, $else = '') { $oTitle = Title::newFromText( $title ); return $oTitle->userCan($action) ? $then : $else; } otherwise it will crash as title is simple string

doesn't work in MW 1.13
Fatal error: Call to a member function closeAll on a non-object in /sites/jewage.org/wtest/extensions/SimpleSecurity/SimpleSecurity.php on line 295

The call to closeAll fails because $wgLoadBalancer has been removed from this version of MW. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgLoadBalancer
 * I've done it a simpler way now that intercepts database requests without needing to deal with the load balancer. I'll update it soon, but have to finish the category and namespace permissions first. --Nad 11:58, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Uncommenting debug print in line #399. Got the warning in this SELECT (and lots other after this)

What details do you need?

 * Are you sure you're using SimpleSecurity version 4.2.4? the errors and line numbers you're reporting don't match the version. Check in your special:version page --Nad 12:50, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It's "4.2.4, 2008-08-27" from trunk-r40071. Now I downloaded 4.2.5 (trunk-r40079), and the error still there!?! -- ZoTyA 16:26, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Tried 4.2.7 from trunk-r40119 and no change :( I've google'd a few and I found a PHP bug witch seems to be present in the official Debian Etch PHP5 (5.2.0-8+etch11) package. I don't know what to do :( -- ZoTyA 10:06, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the error is not that Etch/PHP bug, I think that your wiki is doing database activity earlier than mine (perhaps another extension does some early access) and that the database hook is trying to execute the SimpleSecurity::PatchSQL method before it has been defined. Just in case this is what's happening I've made the database hooks not execute if $wgSimpleSecurity is not an object, so try 4.2.8 and let me know if any luck --Nad 10:35, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Same error with 4.2.8! If no other extension loaded I got the same error. if $wgSecurityUseDBHook=false; there are no errors and everything works fine (as I see) -- ZoTyA 11:12, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Category-based permissions don't work
I Need to define a category which can only be edited by a particular group. I've done the following in LocalSettings.php:

$wgGroupPermissions['PuedeEditar']['read']=true; $wgPageRestrictions['Category:ProtegidoEscritura']['edit'] = 'PuedeEditar';
 * 1) to create a group
 * 1) only members of 'PuedeEditar' can edit on category 'ProtegidoEscritura'

I've created an user in the group 'PuedeEditar' and other user not in this group and also a page with de category 'ProtegidoEscritura':

The two users can edit the page...

My configuration of Simple Security on LocalSettings is: $wgSecurityUseDBHook=true; $wgSecurityAllowUnreadableLinks=false; $wgSecurityRenderInfo=true;

I use MediaWiki 1.13 and the last version of Simple Security (4.2.2)

¿ Any suggestions ?
 * What does the list of restrictions say in the security info on a page thats not working? --Nad 09:58, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * With $wgSecurityRenderInfo = true, there isn't any restrictions info in the page. It seems that the restriction is not being applied. Anyway, when I protect the page using the tab, I can see the restriction information.
 * I've got a new 1.13 running to debug it in, I should be able to have it running soon --Nad 12:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've fixed some more bugs and got it working in 1.13, give it a try now with version 4.2.4. --Nad 07:51, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Problem in my MW 1.13
The extention functions worked well.

But on the top of the site (over the logo) apears a text with all the rights of the user

Like this:

"Array ( [0] => userrights [1] => noratelimit [2] => usermerge [3]..."

How can I fix that?


 * Comment out the line #221 of SimpleSecurity.php

# Put the anon read right back in $wgGroupPermissions if it was there initially # - it had to be removed because Title::userCanRead short-circuits with it - print_r($rights); + #print_r($rights);
