Description Jim Poulson 2006-06-10 14:44:49 UTC
I installed Wikimedia 1.6.6 recently and tried to create a custom group according to this page :
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:User_rights#Managing_group_rights

Adding a statement such as to LocalSettings.php :
$wgGroupPermissions['ninja']['bot'] = true;

After replacing the file on my web site and going into Special:Userrights, the new group does not 
appear.

Note : The only change I've carried out is to add the PHPBB User Database Plugin.
Comment 1 Rob Church 2006-06-10 14:51:31 UTC
Adding custom groups via the usual manner works for me under both SVN trunk and
1.6 branch, so I'm closing this WORKSFORME. I suspect the plugin is interfering.
Comment 2 Jim Poulson 2006-06-10 14:54:07 UTC
Ok, you're probably right. Thanks for taking the trouble and sorry for the bother. Anyway, what the plugin does is use the 
user's table, and more specifically a user group, in a phpBB database to control authorisation to the wiki.

Here is a link to that plugin :
