Heyo! This MediaWiki extension allows you to restrict what a user sees on a central wiki page, all based on their group! The syntax is dead simple, and I even put in the effort to try and remove any exploits of the extension (how nice of me!). To use the extension, first add it to the LocalSettings.php config file in the root install folder:
require_once "$IP/Path/To/Hook.php";
// usually something like
// "$IP/extensions/RoleBasedContent/Hook.php";To add role-based content to a page, just enclose the content with a <RoleContent> tag. For example:
<RoleContent group="1">
# Group 1
Only group 1 can see this content!
</RoleContent>You can even specify multiple groups by doing this (the space between is optional):
<RoleContent group="1,2, 3">
# Groups 1, 2, and 3
Groups 1, 2, and (you guessed it!) 3 can see this!
</RoleContent>Additionally,
There ya' go! Use at your own discretion, and be careful, groups are case sensitive.
Current to do's:
- Add JS module to remove starting
<br>tags (so the user doesn't see that content was removed, and so it doesn't look ugly)- Find jQuery to actually make it work (see notes.txt)
- Add support for multiple groups
- jQuery isn't accessible for some reason, despite it being loaded after...
Current suggestions:
- Allow users of higher rank to view lower rank content (MediaWiki doesn't store permissions in a way that's easy to compare...)
