== Requesting clarification and finding errors ==

Hello all,

** All I wanted is to do the followings:

**** Disable any anonymous access altogether

**** "Logged in" users have "READONLY" access and even can't use Talk pages.

**** Create bunch of custom namespaces (e.g. MyNS1, MyNS2, etc.)

**** Use NameSpacePermission Extension to make it automatically create groups (nsMyNS1RW, nsMyNS1RO, nsMyNS2RW, nsMyNS2RO, etc.)

**** As soon as I add a user into one of the groups (e.g. Add user1 to nsMyNS1RW), I expect that user1 can create/Manage any article start with "MyNS1:" (e.g. MyNS1:Test Page, MyNS1:The Page can be only accessible by the users in nsMyNS1RW or nsMyNS1RO group)

** I simply placed NamespacePermissions.php under .\extensions folder.

** Updated the localsettings as following:

<PRE>

// Create Custom Namespaces

$wgExtraNamespaces[1001] = "MyNS1";

$wgExtraNamespaces[1002] = "MyNS1_Talk";

$wgExtraNamespaces[2001] = "MyNS1";

$wgExtraNamespaces[2002] = "MyNS1_Talk";

// Overriding Implicit group for all visitors

$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createaccount'] = false; //prevents new registrations from anonymous users

//$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['read'] = false; // Optional depending on the security requirement

$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['edit'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createpage'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['*' ]['createtalk'] = false;

// Double overriding on Commandline mode

if ($wgCommandLineMode) {

$wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true;

}

# Pages anonymous (not-logged-in) users may see

$wgWhitelistRead = array( "Main Page", "Special:Userlogin", "-", "MediaWiki:Monobook.css", "*Support*" );

$wgDisableAnonTalk = true; # no discussion pages for anonyous users

// Overriding Implicit group for all logged-in accounts READONLY.

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['move'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['read'] = true; // <--

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['edit'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['createpage'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['createtalk'] = false;

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['upload'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['reupload'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['reupload-shared'] = true;

$wgGroupPermissions['user' ]['minoredit'] = false;

// The following need to be defined after $wgExtraNamespaces

require_once( "extensions/NamespacePermissions.php" );

</PRE>

**With these settings, somehow user1 is simply treated as just "user" and have readonly for everything including MyNS1 even though user1 is on nsMyNS1RW group.

**Can you tell me what is wrong with this?

Thanks in advance.
