Hi,
We decided to write an online book by using xWiki as the authoring system.
While we want to make it freely available, we'd like to restrict pdf
and other printable output apart from plain html.
(we might want to sell pdf outputs later, with watermarks, but that
would be a different story - and we will probably go via Latex then).
But current permissions seem only to make a distinction between
view(including html, pdf, rtf, xml, ...) and edit.
How would we go to add such a "print" right, and even differentiate
pdf and .xar and other there?
Thanks in advance,
Henning

One easy solution I can think of would be to prevent access to them by
configuring your web server to deny some actions (*/export/.....).
Apart from this you would have to modify some java code (the Action
classes code).

Or you could add some code in the vm topmenu template to hide those actions
from non-admin users.

O.K. we'll do that if we need it fast and the other way is taking too long.

That's probably what we're going to do then. I have to look at the
code sooner or later anyway for the other export stuff.
Thanks,

The rights system is not modular yet, so you will have to change one
java class.
Look at
xwiki-core/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/user/impl/xwiki/XWikiRightServiceImpl.java,
around line 106, there should be a line like:
actionMap.put("pdf", "view");
and around line 115:
actionMap.put("export", "view");
A quick solution is to replace "view" with "admin". A better solution
is
to replace "view" with "export", but then you will have to also
change
other java code and some skin files.

Thanks a lot for the detailed information! I'll be looking at it the
next few days - I will finally have to start setting up a development
environment for xWiki coding.
A quick solution is to replace "view" with
"admin".
For start that would suffice.

No problem for the long term. I'll have to change stuff in the skins
anyway. I'm thinking of a better commenting system - for example like
it is in the djangobook project:
http://djangobook.com/en/1.0/chapter01/
Thanks a lot,

Ah, thanks for the hint!
I don't know what's the status but if you want
to help you're welcome!
I'll check it out!
(writing a mail with my ideas and questions to -dev when I got a bit into it).
