Restrict Access on Mediawiki

Setelah sukses mengganti logo dan menambah favicon.ico di mediawiki, saya berlanjut mengutak-atik konfigurasi mediawiki. Saya ingin:
- Isi mediawiki hanya bisa dibaca dan disunting oleh mereka yang memiliki akun
- Tidak semua orang bisa mendaftar menjadi anggota

Untuk itu saya menambahkan baris berikut pada berkas LocalSettings.php

# 1.5 upwards
# Prevent new user registrations except by sysops
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false;

# 1.5 upwards
# Restrict anonymous editing
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false;

# 1.5 upwards
# Disable reading by anonymous users
$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = false;
# But allow them to read e.g., these pages:
$wgWhitelistRead = array ( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "Help:Contents");


Referensi: Media Wiki Manual:Preventing Access

Tambahkan favicon.ico

Dengan cara yang hampir sama menambah logo, berikut adalah cara menambah favicon.ico. Buat gambar favicon.ico-nya dulu dengan ukuran 32 x 32 piksel atau 16 x 16 piksel. Bisa dibuat menggunakan pengolah gambar GIMP.

Lalu salin ke direktori (direktori sistem operasi) /var/lib/mediawiki/skins/common/images/favicon.ico

Tambahkan baris berikut pada berkas /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php

$wgFavicon = "/wiki/skins/common/images/favicon.ico";

Grr Ganti Logo Mediawiki

Grr... akhirnya bisa juga. Setelah kutak-katik, akhirnya aku bisa juga ganti logo mediawiki. Sederhana harusnya. Cuma jadi rumit saat konsep path bercampur baur dengan konfigurasi dan direktori di sistem operasi

Berikut konfigurasi /etc/apache2/sites-available/wiki
# more /etc/apache2/sites-available/wiki

ServerAdmin za@design.paume.itb.ac.id
ServerName ***.****.itb.ac.id
DocumentRoot /var/lib/mediawiki

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error-wiki.log
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access-wiki.log common

ServerSignature Off


Lalu petunjuk pencerahan saya dapat saat membaca cuplikan log
# vim /var/log/access-wiki.log
...
*** - - [24/Dec/2008:02:20:54 -0600] "GET /wiki/skins/monobook/bullet.gif HTTP/1.1" 304 -
*** - - [24/Dec/2008:02:20:54 -0600] "GET /wiki/skins/common/images/poweredby_mediawiki_88x31.png HTTP/1.1" 304 -
*** - - [24/Dec/2008:02:20:54 -0600] "GET /wiki/skins/monobook/user.gif HTTP/1.1" 304 -
...


Ternyata direktori /wiki masih diperlukan sebagai path untuk memanggil gambar. Logo baru yang ingin saya masukkan, saya salin ke (ini path sistem operasi) /var/lib/mediawiki/skins/common/images/logo.png

Lalu tambahkan baris berikut pada /etc/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php

...
$wgLogo = "/wiki/skins/common/images/logo.png"
...


Taraaa!!!!

Install MediaWiki

Hari ini saya eksperimen install mediawiki. Awalnya saya install dengan database postgresql. Namun gagal. Akhirnya, saya gunakan mysql. Di bawah ini adalah catatan-catatan kegagalan saat instalasi sebagai bahan pelajaran dan dokumentasi.

Media Wiki

Aku jadi punya ide, menulis dokumentasi penelitian dalam bentuk Wiki. Apa sekarang mau belajar instalasi dan konfigurasi MediaWiki aja ya? Back to techie things
