  • go to google dev console for APIs and credentials https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials
  • create OAuth 2.0 Client ID
  • authorized redirect URI is https://wiki.jjjp.ca/index.php?title=Special:GoogleLoginReturn
  • copy the secret and app ID into LocalSettings.php
  • make sure $wgGroupPermissions is set properly

To set so that only 'approved' users can edit and create pages, but all other users can use the Discussion feature, add this to LocalSettings.php

$wgGroupPermissions['approved']['editmain'] = true;
$wgNamespaceProtection[NS_MAIN] = array( 'editmain' );

• remember to use Special:UserRights to add 'approved' users
• In order to get VisualEditor working with the built in parsoid, it's incredibly important to make sure you can successfully CURL in the ssh shell. If it times out you will see CURL 28 error when editing pages. This was fixed by setting the local DNS settings.
