Question

I have a twiki (http://tomecat.com/twiki/) that has outlived its usefulness as a live twiki. I would like to keep the content available for reference, but disable all changes so I don't have to tend it so closely to prevent squatters.

Is there any way to do a static export to flat html files? Other suggestions?

Answer

You could simply lock down edit in your TWikiPreferences' ALLOWWEBCHANGE (make sure to list it also in the FINALPREFERENCES). To make edit and attach less inviting, you can remove those links in the skin.

Alternatively, install the PublishAddOn.

Thanks! PublishAddOn looks interesting. What value do I give to ALLOWWEBCHANGE? I tried setting it to my WikiName, but I was still able to make changes as Guest afterwards...

Your site is totally open! You need to put some scripts under BasicAuthentication. See "2. No login to view; require login to edit" in TWikiUserAuthentication. See also TWikiInstallationGuide#Enabling_Authentication_of_Users
