Description

This extension prevents blocked users from viewing the wiki

Installation

Copy this into extensions/NoBlockedUserView.php:

<?php
$wgHooks['userCan'][] = 'CheckUserBlocked';

function CheckUserBlocked( $title, $user, $action, &$result ) {
    global $wgUser;

    if( $wgUser->isBlocked() && $action == 'read' ) {
        $result = false;
        return false;
    } else {
        $result = null;
        return true;
    }
}

require_once("$IP/extensions/NoBlockedUserView.php");

Status

This module works very well, however there are some limitations and a minor bug:

• Blocked users will be turned away with "The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups *, user." This may not be the message you want to send. Patches welcome to fix it. In the meantime, you can simply edit MediaWiki:Badaccess-groups, and change the contents to something even more generic (I.E., You can't perform that action).
• All blocked users will be turned away, keep this in mind.
