Hello all! I used search and I could not find any information how to hide "View History" button for unlogged users! Do you know how o do that?
Topic on Project:Support desk
Why?
Possibly related:
@ Krinkle: I understood the question that he wants to remove that tab, which you have in the upper right-hand corner of each page.
This is possible with two lines of CSS. E.g. something like this:
div.vectorTabs ul li#ca-history {
visibility: hidden;
}You have understood it correctly, but I wanted to hide this option only for unregistered users. CSS hides this link but the space for this button is there and it looks not so good.
Replace visibility: hidden; with display: none;
No no ... both ways work perfect! But I want to hide history only for unregistered users!
Well "You may want to have pages editable only by their creator, or ban viewing of history, or any of a number of other things. None of these features are available " ... so I guess it is impossible to that now (
It is possible, but not out of the box. ;-)
You can do that in your skin files. If you use the Vector skin, then you can do that in skins/Vector.php. Somewhere in the head of your page, add some lines of PHP code, which check, if a user is logged in currently and if not, then include a CSS file with these few lines we gave you (which hide the button).
<head>
<!-- ... much stuff ... -->
<?php if(!$wgUser->isLoggedIn()) { ?>
<link href="/skins/vector/hide-tab.css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<?php } ?>
</head>
(I have not tested the above; but it should give you an idea, of what you should be able to do. :-) )
I got your idea, but I need to remove bar completely, if I use css it hides only a word history, but ths tab is there and it looks not so good!
Removing the history link would require an extension if it can be done at all. That said you can create a style sheet or javascript code page at MediaWiki:Group-*.css/MediaWiki:Group-*.js and MediaWiki:Group-user.css/MediaWiki:Group-user.js if you have the sysop bit (See Manual:User group CSS and Javascript).
Groups "*" and "user" do not get those MediaWiki pages loaded. So it should be hidden by default to anyone, and probably use JavaScript to check wgUserName to see if the user is logged in and re-display it.
You can be logged in without JavaScript enabled so just add the code to MediaWiki:Common.js to hide the link.
In vector.php add these code:(put after code)
<?php if(!$wgUser->isLoggedIn())
{
#ca-history {display:none;} // similar way you can hide many things here like view, talk etc....
}
?>
Try this. I hope it works. it is tested at my application also.
This code is missing something. It's not inside a <style> tag.
Yes something is missing! It gives me also an php error
I have tried this, but it gives me a error Fatal error: Call to a member function isLoggedIn() on a non-object in /usr/home/philcrosoft/wikijournal.ru/www/skins/Vector.php on line 3
Try using the BeforePageDisplay hook instead of editing the skin file.
Try this (haven't tested) in LocalSettings.php:
public static function efAddSkinStylesAnon( OutputPage &$out, Skin &$skin ) {
if( !$wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) {
// Hide history tab
if ( $skin->getSkinName() == 'vector' ) {
$out->addInlineStyle( '#ca-history { display:none; }' );
}
}
return true;
}
$wgHooks['BeforePageDisplay'][] = 'efAddSkinStylesAnon';
It Doesn't work! Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PUBLIC I like an idea adding a script to vector.php. Is it possible to make it correct?
<?php if(!$wgUser->isLoggedIn())
{
#ca-history {display:none;} // similar way you can hide many things here like view, talk etc....
}
?>
Remove the "public" word and try again. Sorry, I don't have PHP nor a MediaWiki installation at hand to test my code.
And the most correct way to do it is what I said. You shouldn't alter core MediaWiki files for this since on next upgrade you'll lost all modifications.
I have such result: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION, expecting T_VARIABLE in /usr/home/philcrosoft/www/LocalSettings.php on line 146
Make sure that you put the function definition at a place where PHP allows you to define a function.
So where should I insert the code at LocalSettings.php?
you need to remove the "public" and "static" words. This will give you the following snippet to put at the end of your LocalSettings.php:
function efAddSkinStylesAnon( OutputPage &$out, Skin &$skin ) {
if( !$wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) {
// Hide history tab
if ( $skin->getSkinName() == 'vector' ) {
$out->addInlineStyle( '#ca-history { display:none; }' );
}
}
return true;
}
$wgHooks['BeforePageDisplay'][] = 'efAddSkinStylesAnon';I've put the code at the end of my LocalSettings.php result is: Fatal error: Call to a member function isLoggedIn() on a non-object in /usr/home/philcrosoft/wikijournal/www/LocalSettings.php on line 148
Here is my full Localsettings.php with this code which does not work!

The error you're getting points to the following line:
if( !$wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) {
The error was "Call to a member function isLoggedIn() on a non-object".
Since $wgUser is a global object, telling PHP to get $wgUser from the global scope just before that line should solve your problem:
global $wgUser;
if( !$wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) {
Let me know if that works.
Finally it works!!! Thk u very much =)
Hello Mark! I have one more question according to this thread: So I use this code in Localsettings.php
function efAddSkinStylesAnon( OutputPage &$out, Skin &$skin ) {
if( !$wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) {
// Hide history tab
if ( $skin->getSkinName() == 'vector' ) {
$out->addInlineStyle( '#ca-history { display:none; }' );
}
}
return true;
}
$wgHooks['BeforePageDisplay'][] = 'efAddSkinStylesAnon';
What should I add to hide some buttons for those who logged in?
Between the closing bracket and directly in top of the line "return true;" add
if( $wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) {
// Hide some buttons for those logged in
if ( $skin->getSkinName() == 'vector' ) {
# Modify the following CSS code so that the definition matches the one you need.
$out->addInlineStyle( '#my-example { display:none; }' );
}
}
This code will then hide the CSS element with the ID "my-example". Replace my-example with the ID of the elemnt, which you want to hide.
No no I tried to do this, but it hides some elements for those who is not logged in! And I need to hide some elements for those who is logged in
> it hides some elements for those who is not logged in
No, it does not. ;-) Have another look at the condition, which I posted: It does not say if( !$wgUser, but if( $wgUser. This condition will only be met, if a user is logged in.
Try the following snippet which should hide the history tab for anon users or the "Read" tab for logged in users. Note this only works if they're using the vector skin.
function efAddSkinStyles( OutputPage &$out, Skin &$skin ) {
if( !$wgUser->isLoggedIn() ) {
// Hide history tab for anons
if ( $skin->getSkinName() == 'vector' ) {
$out->addInlineStyle( '#ca-history { display:none; }' );
}
} else {
// Hide "Read" tab for those who are logged in
if ( $skin->getSkinName() == 'vector' ) {
$out->addInlineStyle( '#ca-view { display:none; }' );
}
}
return true;
}
$wgHooks['BeforePageDisplay'][] = 'efAddSkinStylesAnon';
Thx it works!!! Yes I do use only vector skin =)
Does this still work for you? I was trying to implement this script in different ways but I keep getting this exception:
MediaWiki internal error.

Any Idea?
Made the following changes and it worked on Mediawiki 1.22.5
$wgUser->isLoggedIn() >>>> $skin->getUser()->isLoggedIn()
$wgHooks['BeforePageDisplay'][] = 'efAddSkinStylesAnon'; >>>> 'efAddSkinStyles'
function efAddSkinStyles(OutputPage &$out, Skin &$skin) {
if(!$skin->getUser()->isLoggedIn()) {
if ($skin->getSkinName() == 'vector') {
$out->addInlineStyle('#ca-history { display:none; }');
}
} else {
if ($skin->getSkinName() == 'vector') {
$out->addInlineStyle('#ca-view { display:none; }');
}
}
return true;
}
$wgHooks['BeforePageDisplay'][] = 'efAddSkinStyles';

This is a great one. Also works on MW 1.25.x
Still working in march 2020, MW 1.34 and timeless skin
