Topic on Extension talk:AccessControl

Sorry, perhaps ignore the post below, let's try to use the new features that you have so nicely implemented.

I have added the TemplateData and AccessControl to `LocalSettings.php` extension and made the following template called `Template:AccessControlTemplate`:

< noinclude>

< templatedata>

{

   "description": "Template for permissions",

   "params": {

      "editAllowedGroups": {

         "label": "editAllowedGroups",

         "description": "Wiki groups for editing",

         "type": "string",

         "required": true

      },

      "readOnlyAllowedGroups": {

         "label": "readOnlyAllowedGroups",

         "description": "Wiki groups for read only",

         "type": "string",

         "required": false

      }

   }

}

< /templatedata>

< /noinclude>

< hr>

< p style="text-align:center">This page is protected. Editing groups: { { { editAllowedGroups | None } } } Viewing groups: { { { readOnlyAllowedGroups | None } } } < /p>

< hr>

...from my wiki pages I then declare the template at the top of the page:

{ { AccessControlTemplate | editAllowedGroups=myGroup } }

The nice banner appears on the page ...but users not in `myGroup` can still edit! What's going on?!

Thanks for any help

First: It's JSON code, not template code. Second: For setting access is important value of attributes accepted by AccessControl, not template.

OK, so the above is wrong? It would be really useful in general to have a minimum working example for the old and new system.

Follow the example on the main page of this extension.

1. Use any page where is any template
2. Add named attributte editAllowedUsers=
3. And as value add your own username

After save this change been this page selfprotected by new syntax. And access been allowed only for you. If you unlogged. Page be unavailabled for anonymous access.

...looking at the log I'm getting errors from AccessControl:

That's a lot of deprecations! Are these the source of the problem? I'm using mediawiki 1.39.3 as suggested on frontpage
