Permissions for SysOp

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Kenyu,

Is there anyway you could add the ability to only allow adding events if
you're a sysop on the wiki?

Oh by the way, this is in regards to your media-wiki calendar extension.

It's possible; it would have to be a localsettings.php preference though... 
possibly
something like $wgCalendarAdminGrp = 'sysop';

You can set this up if you created a restricted read-only namespace though... 
no one
could create new events or edit the <calendar /> tag...

Oh,  I thought this was where I could request additional features that you 
could put
in.  Sorry, I don't know php or how to setup namespaces.  I just know how to 
follow
instructions. ;)

This is where you can request new features for the caledar... (=

However, you could get the same results by setting up a restricted namespace in
LocalSettings.php. This is all documented and used with MediaWiki.

This is how I setup a restricted page, but i'm sure there are other methods 
documents
in the media wiki forums.

'Restricted' becomes a special ability in the User Groups and only those with 
the
'Restricted' ability can edit those pages... just an idea to get you started. 
This
isn't "php" coding, this is all setup in LocalSettings.php

$wgExtraNamespaces[104] = "Restricted";
$wgExtraNamespaces[105] = "Restricted_talk";

$wgMessageStructure['rights'][] = 'restricted_pages';
$wgGroupPermissions['Restricted' ]['restricted_pages'] = true;
$wgNamespaceProtection['104'] = array( 'restricted_pages' );

I'll add a fix in 3.7.1

$wgRestrictCalendarTo = 'sysop'; //or whatever other group
