    • feature suggestion: uneditable area on a wiki page

    Posted by ejay posts: 14 ☆ ☆ ☆

    Hi guys,

    thanks for all the hard work and cool features you've done. Really appreciate!

    I wonder if we can have a feature like uneditable area on a wiki page, meaning certain area on a wiki page can be edited only by an admin, but not a regular user. I searched on "features/usability" forum and I realized many other guys are also hungry for this feature. Is it possible to make this on your to-do list?

    Or if current tiki already supports this feature, please let me know. 😊

    Thanks!

    what I want is something like 'lock a wiki page by admin' in current wiki, which means only an admin can edit that page but not a regular user.

    The request could be on a wiki page, certain section can be edited by only admin but not regular users.

    Yes this is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm a new user so maybe I just missed it in the documentation?

    Wiki page is split by headings into editable regions but I want to lock individual regions. This may have a knock on effect on the main edit icon at the top of the wiki page.

    Help appreciated from anyone.

    1- Perms are at the page level. You can set a page to be editable only by admins

    2-You can include pages in pages, so you could have one of these included pages with different permissions

    Best regards,

    You can sort of accomplish this by using the Include plugin:

    1. Create Page A and make it editable by Registered users.
    2. Create Page B and make it viewable by Registered users, but editable by Administrators. Or you could "lock" the page.
    3. Include Page B inside Page A.


    When a Registered user views Page A, they'll see the Page B content. But, when they edit Page A, they'll only see the Page A content + the {INCLUDE...} plugin — they won't be able to actually edit any of the Page B content.

    HTH,

    Thank you Rick and M. I read this approach before but the regular user can still be able to remove {INCLUDE...} in page A, which means regular users can remove page B from page A.

    Regular users can't edit page B but can remove page B from page A. How can we solve this problem?

    Thanks a million!

    Revisiting an old post.

    Page A will be editable by Registered users and the {INCLUDE..} statement will also be visible and also open for editing / deletion etc.

    How do you prevent changes to the {INCLUDE...} statement?
