Hi Zane > Now I have another question. We keep our page on a server so that everyone can read the posts from our IT Department. We'd like to make the post read-only to everyone except the people, like myself, in the IT Department. Is there a place we can set a true vs false setting so if anyone who is not in the IT Dept. wants to edit the pages they cannot do so.
The easiest way to accomplish that is to have the IT department staff access the wiki from a folder to which they have write access, while everyone else accesses it from a folder to which they do not have write access. If you're a Windows shop with Active Directory then I believe that such arrangements can be readily set up. Ideally, the users who are not authorised to save changes wouldn't see the editing controls. We can do that by switching in the "Read Only" theme, but it's not particularly convenient for the people saving changes. There is a ticket about enhancing read-only mode: https://github.com/Jermolene/TiddlyWiki5/issues/1213 Best wishes Jeremy On Mon, Dec 8, 2014 at 5:52 AM, Zane B Stein <[email protected]> wrote: > I never got back to you......thank you, copying to a different folder > worked fine. > > Now I have another question.
