Description
Some of our wikis are private, so we remove all permissions for anonymous
. A user's first time visit is met with Error: Forbidden and a note that WIKI_VIEW privileges are required.
A more graceful approach in this case would be to check if the current user is anonymous, and if so, prompt him/her to sign in first.
As a work around, we've re-implemented error.html
to check if the error a "Forbidden" and then display a message "This site requires you to login" message with a link to the login page.
A slightly revamped error.html
could be used to handle this case more gracefully.
