Hi,<br><br>I'm having a problem setting read passwords using Group Attributes. The situation on the wiki is this:<br><br>-There is no read password by default<br>-I'm operating a shared password system (rather than AuthUser or UserAuth, etc)<br>
-There are site-wide passwords for edit, upload, attr defined in config.php<br>-I have defined more than one edit password, using the array command: $DefaultPasswords['edit'] = array(crypt('alpha'), crypt('beta'));<br>
-There is a group within the wiki (let's call it PrivateGroup) which I'd like to make readable only by people who know an edit password<br>-I tried to implement this by entering @_site_edit as the read password on PrivateGroup.GroupAttributes<br>
<br>But it didn't work as I had hoped. I got the following outcomes:<br><br>-When I go to PrivateGroup.HomePage and enter an edit password, I cannot read the page (though I can edit it)<br>-When I go to PrivateGroup.GroupAttributes and enter an edit password, I CAN read the page (and also edit it)<br>
-If I change the attributes of PrivateGroup.HomePage (and of each other page in the group) individual, and set the read password to @_site_edit then everything works as intended.<br><br>My question is:<br><br>Is this a feature of PmWiki (that you cannot use @_site_XXXX with GroupAttributes) or has something gone wrong with my particular installation?<br>
<br>If it's a normal feature of PmWiki, does anyone have any work-around suggestions (other than editing the attributes of each page individually)?<br>If it's a problem with my particular installation, does anyone have any ideas where to look?<br>
<br>Many thanks,<br><br>Rick.<br>
