only englisch user interface, debian sarge

Hello,

I upgraded to moinmoin 1.2.3-1 on debian sarge (=testing).

I am using it with apache-ssl.

It worked fine before ( version 1.0 ), but now only the englisch
user interface is available.

If I look at the configuration page, you can only select english as
language setting or browser settings, but not german, as before.

The file moin_config.py contains the line:

default_lang = 'de'

Any idea, how to get back the german user interface?

Regards:

ufechner

ACL Group problem?

Hi,
This is probably a very simple problem but I can't seem to resolve it. 
Basically I'm unable to get groups working with ACLs.  The goal is for 
any user to be able to read (including anonymous) but only members of 
AdminGroup can edit pages.

Running the latest version of MoinMoin, ACLs are enabled in 
site/moin_config.py (lines wrapped by email):

acl_enabled = 1
acl_rights_default = "AdminGroup:admin,read,write,delete,revert All:read"
acl_rights_before  = "TestUser:admin,read,write,delete,revert 
AdminGroup:admin,read,write,delete,revert"

I then created a page (leaving acl_enabled=0 to allow creation of the 
page then changing it to 1) "AdminGroup" with the following contents:

#acl AdminGroup:admin,read,write All:
   *SiteAdmin
   *TestUser

Two users, SiteAdmin and TestUser were created.  Since they are both on 
the AdminGroup page, I expect that they can both edit any page on the 
site.  Instead what happens is that TestUser is able to edit any page, 
but SiteAdmin is not.  Changing acl_rights_before to:

acl_rights_before  = "AdminGroup:admin,read,write,delete,revert"

Means results in no one being able to edit pages.

Questions on the capabilities of Moin ACLs

My wiki is currently still just a sparkle in my eye and I'm shopping around 
to find the right wiki engine to build it upon. It's going to be a site for 
amateur authors to post works of fiction, discuss them, write collaborative 
stories and articles, create indexes, etc., and I'd like to have a slightly 
peculiar feature that just might be possible for MoinMoin ACLs to handle. 
Ideally, I'd like to give each user his own personal subspace that is 
editable only by him, to allow him to post his own personal stories without 
having to worry about monitoring them for vandalism and such.

For example, if I were to sign on to the wiki with the username Bryan, then 
the following pages should be editable only by myself (and admins):

Bryan
Bryan/Richard III
Bryan/Richard III/Act 6
etc.

In the case of another person with the username Joe, I should be unable to 
edit his Joe/ subspace and he shouldn't be able to edit Bryan/.

I've given http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnAccessControlLists a 
read-through and it looks like there are some wonderfully fine-grained 
controls, but I don't see any way to apply different default ACLs to pages 
based on their title. This is my most ambitious approach to the problem, 
though, so if it's impossible I've got a fallback I'd be fine with. Can I 
set up an ACL so that a non-admin user can set his own ACL on a _new_ page, 
but not on one that already exists? That way authors would still be able to 
"claim" pages to put their stories on, but wouldn't allow them to override 
each other's ACLs or lock people out of existing public pages (I expect 
them to be well-behaved but it only takes one bad apple to make a mess :).

Moin Change Notifications

Does anybody know if it would be feasible to alter the E-Mailed Change Notifications to be formatted HTML
instead of the current raw Wiki Text.

RE: ACL Group problem?

Dave,

Can't tell for sure if your AdminGroup page is doing this but ...

If there is more than one space before an entry on the group page it will be
ignored 

e.g. using ^ to represent spaces

^*WikiName     (works fine)
^* WikiName    (works fine)
^^*WikiName    (doesn't work)

This is of course real obvious once you know it, but it took me several days
to work it out!! 

I put some extra help in the moin moin help pages see

http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnAccessControlLists

All best

Theme Help


Hi,

I need some help for a theme I'd developing. The theme is to support a site
that uses ACL's and limits the number of authors. Most of the users of the
site will not be authoring pages, won't be particularly computer literate
and probably will have no idea what a wiki is. What I want to do is hide
most of the wiki functionality from these users whilst ensuring that authors
have access to all functionality.

Currently I think there are two approaches I can use:

A page by page approach whereby if the user has the ACL right to write to
the page then the authoring stuff will appear

A user approach where if the user is known the authoring stuff will appear

Does anyone have any views on this? Can anyone give me some help in
implementing this?

All best

Andrew

HTML email should be abolished. While I'm sure it's possible, I wouldn't
recommend it. 

You can always use the RSS feed for RecentChanges instead of relying on
the notifications.

Re: ACL Group problem?

Ah, yes.  That fixed it.  Quite obvious really, once you know it.

Thanks!

This is in the FAQ. Check it - you will have to enable the RenamePage
option in your config.
