Re: How to show left-hand modules only to authenticated users

Be aware of the problems using the search feature then - if you use it.

The search faeture shows titles and excerpts from pages which contain data matching you search criteria (In a round about sort of way).

The information showed on the search results page does not get parsed for permissions yet, so if you have a wiki with "For your eyes only information - how to destry the opposition our top-secret 5 year plan..." on it. Anyone, yes ANYONE searching for these phrases could see the title and a short excerpt from that page - even if it has per-object permissions restricting them from viewing the whole document.

My advice,

  1. Like "The Man" said, set your robots.txt file up well,
  2. Spend some time using .htaccess or whatever preventing the use of unknown browsers (evil web-spiders etc who may download your entire site - just for a look)
  3. Disable the search feature until it's had a complete overhaul.


and good luck!
