What is it
This little Plugin is useful for wikis with several access levels. Users with privilegs for subnamespaces don't see the “Access denied” page after login, but are redirected to a “welcome” page (conf['initpage']), which can be set in configurations.
Download and Installation
Download and install the plugin using the Plugin Manager using the following URL. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.
tar gz:
showinitpage-2010-01-13.tgz
Usage
Caution: dont redirect to a page a user doesn't have read privilegs!! This leads to a nice;-) loop, as the plugin triggers a redirect on the attempt of a user to access a page he/she has no read-access for…
Solution: (only solution) the initpage must be a page ALL potential users have read privilegs. So first thing to do is: set the 'initpage' value in the config-section for this plugin to something meaningful before logging out.
