== Access Restriction to wiki ==
No anonymous view/edit/create. <br>No self registration<br>
Registered users have full right to view/edit/create pages.
Add the following lines in LocalSettings.php after this line: require_once( "includes/DefaultSettings.php" ); Result of the configuration will be: users cannot create their own account and cannot read/edit documents without logging in to the system.
;$wgGroupPermissions[’*’ ][’createaccount’] = false;<br>;$wgGroupPermissions[’*’ ][’edit’] = false;<br>;<nowiki>$wgWhitelistRead = array( "Special:Userlogin" );</nowiki><br>;$wgGroupPermissions[’*’ ][’read’] = false; <br>
To allow browsing only from particular ip address (e.g. office lan only) insert the following lines to .htaccess file:
<Limit GET POST> <br>order deny,allow<br>deny from all<br>allow from "Office LAN IP"<br></Limit> <br> == Eliminating index.php from url ==
Rewrite Rules to have nice urls (Eliminating index.php from url). e.g.
There are many ways to achieve this. I did it with .htaccess file:
mediawiki was installed in the document root directory www.mysite.com/ (using the installer) <br>set $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1"; in LocalSettings.php <br>put a .htaccess file with the following content in the dir for www.mysite.com <br># not actually needed but probably a good idea anyway<br>php_flag register_globals off<br># first, enable the processing - Unless your ISP has it enabled<br># already. That might cause weird errors.<br>RewriteEngine on<br># do the rewrite<br>RewriteRule ^wiki/?(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA] <br>4. Make sure Apache loads the rewrite modules<br>
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so <br>
Default Global Timezone
== Time zone adjust ==
If you want to set the default timezone offset according to local timezone and handle daylight savings time automatically, you can do this ugly trick. Edit LocalSettings.php and add the following code: <br>$wgLocaltimezone="Europe/Berlin"; <br>$oldtz = getenv("TZ"); <br>putenv("TZ=$wgLocaltimezone"); <br>$wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 3600; <br>putenv("TZ=$oldtz"); <br> Actually, resetting it probably isn't necessary, I think that's leftover from before we switched to the proper time functions. This should do (untested): <br>$wgLocaltimezone="Europe/Berlin"; <br>putenv("TZ=$wgLocaltimezone"); <br>$wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 3600; <br> For that matter if your server is already in the local timezone you want, this might work: <br>$wgLocalTZoffset = date("Z") / 3600; <br> Or (CEST): <br>$wgLocalTZoffset = 2; Note: This timezone will be used in: <nowiki>~~~~ signatures </nowiki><br>timestamps in recentchanges <br>timestamps in history <br>Note: Upload and deletion logs will probably still be listed in UTC <br>
