This goes against the grain of "wiki culture" but
I would like to block the creation of relative-links/new-pages
in certain groups, where those groups are more for "display"
and any actual new content should only be done in the "official groups"
Context:
A ZAP form creates TO DO pages.. with $FullName name like:
ToDo-YSBH.1034
where there is the "real" group of pages for Yogaswami Boy's Home
(an orphanage in Sri Lanka) where the group is
YSBH.*
Problem:
Users are complaining that they want to "edit" the TO DO page and add
notes there. OK that's easily done by allowing the edit option for that
group.
But! -- a "disintegration" problem arises:
If someone is on this page: "ToDo-YSBH.1034" and they create
a relative link: [[New Classroom Construction]]
we end up with a page:
ToDo-YSBH.NewClassroomConstruction
Which is "orphaned" from the "GrandDad" group,
where, what we really want is:
YSBH.NewClassroomConstruction
Solution:
To Be Determined.
But for starters if I could just block users from
making links in any group "ToDo*"
then they will be forced to click on a "reference" link I have which
sends them back to the GrandDad group, then from there they make
their new page.
I suspect this is asking for the impossible since it would
require a virtual runtime policemen to bark at anyone typing
[[new link]] in the edit form....
ideas?
In Peace
