Very new to all of this. So I want to build my Wiki, and keep all the
help and Basics stuff in the sidebar such as Initial Setup Tasks.
But I don’t want my contributing authors to see any of that. I just
want them to see the pages that they are working on.
Is there a way to hide sidebar sections from user types?
So only @admin could see the PMWiki and pmwiki.org sections.
@authors could see the sections we are working on, say Chapter 1,
Chapter 2, and the subsections.
You can use a conditional in the SideBar, something like this (indented
for clarity):
(:if auth admin:)
This is shown to the wiki administrator,
as defined in $DefaultPasswords['admin'].
See documentation at PmWiki/PasswordsAdmin.
(:ifend:)
(:if auth edit SiteAdmin.SiteAdmin:)
Same as above, only the administrator
can read or edit the SiteAdmin group.
(:ifend:)
(:if auth edit Chapters.Chapter1:)
This section is shown to people who can edit
[[Chapters.Chapter1]]. You can configure
it to people in the @authors group,
see PmWiki/Passwords and PmWiki/AuthUser.
(:ifend:)
Then you place the links to publicly accessible pages outside of the
conditionals.
See PmWiki/ConditionalMarkup.
And non-logged-in users would only see pages that are designated
complete. So I guess there would be an @public user group or something
and as pages were completed, we’d grant access to them.
Or, you can go without a @public user group -- if you can, simply allow
reading to anyone without complicating the set.
Its not high-security so I don’t think we need to prevent people from
accessing pages via direct link. Just to only show in the sidebar, the
things I want the groups to see
I assume when a page is "complete" and ready to go public, someone will
edit the sidebar and remove the link from the conditional section and
place it outside of the conditional section.
