Hi,

I need some setup for twiki.

twiki is installed on my linux and httpd basic authentication is enabled for the site.

By default the user logged in with apache authentication, is able to view edit option on each page. I want all users to view it as non-editable plain topics. I have registered one twiki account with admin user. I want to use this account for editing each topic.

Can you pls explain me on how to set this up?

best regards, Srinivas.M

Discussion and Answer

In every web go to WebPreferences (Preferences in pulldown menu), look for ALLOWWEBCHANGE and write your admin account after the = sign (e.g. Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = Main.TWikiAdminUser)

Check also TWikiAccessControl

Thanks for the repsonse.

I have tried this. But all users are able to see Edit and Attach Buttons at top and EditAction tools links at bottom. When user click he is getting error message saying - "Access check on Main failed". These users should not get displayed with Edit links except for Admin user?

How can i achieve this.

What you are looking for is ReadOnlySkinMode. This is implemented in the dev version (SVN trunk) and will be made available in TWiki-5.1. If you are adventurous you could try to install the latest TopMenuSkin.
