If you want a "secure" Wiki and use the settings described here http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:User_rights#Managing_group_rights you are not able to confirm your emailaddress, because it is not possible to add this site http://www.domain.com/wiki/index.php/Special:Confirmemail/<CODE> because you use only the php-command "in_array" and do not cut the code-part or use RegExps. Please add this feature or a variable such as $wgGroupPermissions['*']['confirmemail']=true Thanks in advance
FWIW, this is what I did as a temporary fix. I'm not sure it's the best or most elegant solution, but it allows the email confirmation to complete successfully. [root@ncassr includes]# diff /root/mediawiki- 1.7.1/includes/Title.php /var/www/mediawiki-1.7.1/includes/Title.php 1153a1154,1158 > > if (substr_count($name,"Confirmemail") > 0) { > return true; > } > - Mike
Another solution comes from the site: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_Access#Preventing_access_to_all_pages_for_non-validated_users The problem I ran into with MediaWiki v1.7.1 is being unable to confirm my e-mail address when I create a new user. I can access the login page and create an account, I can access my preferences to update my e-mail address, I click on Confirm e-mail and receive the e-mail, but when I click the link, I get a "You must log in to view other pages." message. In order to allow everyone to see the "Special:Confirmemail" and "Special:Confirmemail/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" to verify the e-mail, you need to add four lines to include/Title.php: find the function userCanRead() and add just before these lines, which are at the end of the function) } return false; } the following four lines: $names=split("/", $name); if(strcmp($names[0],"Special:Confirmemail")==0 && count($names)==2 && preg_match('/[a-f0-9]{32}/',$names[1])) { return true; } The final code should look like this: $names=split("/", $name); if(strcmp($names[0],"Special:Confirmemail")==0 && count($names)==2 && preg_match('/[a-f0-9]{32}/',$names[1])) { return true; } - Jack
Fixed in r23528.
