Bug #: 34856
Summary: Since 1.17, you can't override page permission errors
by a hook
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.20-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
In 1.16 you could set a getUserPermissionErrors or userCan hook, return 'false'
from it and allow the access to an otherwise protected page.
We used it to allow users customising MediaWiki:Edittools on a personal base,
i.e. MediaWiki:Edittools@UserName.
In 1.17 these parts of code were refactored and now, 'false' from these hooks
doesn't mean "stop processing rights", but does mean only "stop processing
right hooks". And you can't allow some action on an otherwise protected page
anymore.
This is not convenient :(
