    • 3-Questions

    Posted by sani_smalls posts: 3 ☆

    Hello.

    I got three questions.

    1) HOME_SECTION
    Is there a possibility to make a Home-Section which is not a WIKI or an ARTICLE.
    => If a visitior who is not registered, is not allowed to read WIKIS or ARTICLES,
    he also cannot see the Home-Section,he just sees a login page instead of the Home-Section.

    2)LDAP
    Is there a way to include other LDAP-Information, not only Authentification.
    For example to read out groups or names of students. Are there modules or something like
    that,which I can include in tikiwiki?

    3)WIKI_PERMISSIONS
    On my page a user can manually close his wiki-page,but isn't there a better method
    which automatically makes the editor the ONLY admin of his wiki. Yes, I have already
    activated "Editors are admins of their...." and the Group-Permissions didn't help.


    :-(

    Yes, you can define you own home page (any url), and set that url in Admin -> General

    If visitor see login page instead of Home, check first that "anonymous" group of users has the global permission to view categories, in case the home page is categorized (this could be the reason)...

    In case ldap information can be saved in a SQL dabatase (I have no idea myself...), you could use the PluginSQL, can't you?

    http://tikiwiki.org/PluginSql

    Or you could hack (or have somebody hack) that plugin...

    Thanks for your answers. I will try them soon.

    Yes,my third questions:
    If you edit a wiki you have to close that wiki,so others cannot change it.
    Can this 'closing' be made automatically? I mean the user who opened that wiki
    should be the only admin of the wiki(the only one who can edit it and change it).


    Thanx
    Sani

    Well, as far as I know, you can't do that with all your wiki pages; you can just with your user page.

    An easy way would be (I guess) to request a coder to modify the user page system so that it allows to be used as the main page of a user structure, and thus, when a user creates new pages on that structure (using that wiki page header on pages belonging to a structure), permissions from the main page on that structure could be inherited.

    Check with a coder, if you are interested, how difficult or long this could be, or even how much would it cost to you to have this done.
    If new on tw community, I personally recommend you to get in contact with sylvie

    Hope this helps

    P.S: However, keep in mind that such a collaborative portal like tw is not intended to be set to individuals modifying their pages, but allowing others to collaborate (Wiki methodology of work....)
