This patch allows disabling the edit and preferences link in the config file. It is backwards compatible (so peoples edit and preferences links won't suddenly vanish).
To disable edit or prefs respectively, add the following to the config file:
Patch:
On irc, you said, "That was to allow the hack to of using wikistatedir to
allow me to generate two websites, one with inline editting, the other a
static page for public consumption."
The edit and preferences links can already be disabled by editing
page.tmpl. (Look for PREFSURL and EDITURL).
More to the point though, disabling those links does not disable anyone
consticting the urls by hand and logging in and editing a page. So you'd
really want to disable the editpage plugin in the setup file for the
public, static wiki. Sounds like you might also want to turn off cgi
entirely for that build. --[[Joey]]
I want to retain the same page.tmpl for both sites (different templates
will just increase the maintenance hell), so disabling the links in the
config for one public site works better in my case.
I do have the editpage plugin disabled for the public static wiki, but
the link still appears on the site. I want to keep the cgi on, so that
the site is still searchable. --[[puck]]
For me, disabling the editpage plugin does make the "Edit" link
disappear (this is with 3.03) but as far as I can tell, "Preferences"
is not controlled by any plugin. It would be nice if it were; I am
trying to achieve a configuration where the only action supported
via CGI is blog-style comments. --Zack
Like [[puck]], I'd like to keep search available but I want to disable all
login facitilities and thus disable the "Preferences" link.
After digging a little bit in the source code, my first attempt was to make
the "Preferences" link appear only if there is sessioncgi hooks
registered. But this will not work as the [[plugins/inline]] plugin also
defines it.
Looking for auth hooks currently would not work as at least
[[plugins/passwordauth]] does not register one.
Adding a new canlogin hook looks like overkill to me. [[Joey]], how
about making registration of the auth hook mandatory for all plugins
making sense of the "Preferences" link? --[[Lunar]]
Hmm, using the auth hook existance does seem like a nice solution.
While splitting the preferences code out into its own plugin is
easily enough done, it has the minor problem of being yet another
file nearly all ikiwikis will have to load, and also, prefs would
have to be disabled manually. So I like that using the hook would
cause it to auto-disable if nothing uses it. It's a bit ugly that
passwordauth doesn't need an auth hook (it could be reorged to
use it instead of formbuilder, maybe) and would probably just have an
empty one. Thanks for the idea. --[[Joey]] [[done]]
Thanks for implementing it! --[[Lunar]]
