When I configure the ACL permission via the %GROUP%
placeholder it only works when omitting the leading @
in the acl.auth.php
like %GROUP%:* %GROUP% 16
. However then the placeholder doesn't seem to get recognized as a group as seem by the little single user icon in the ACL manager GUI view.
As said in general this works, but I see some cases where themes do not understand these place-holder permissions properly. For example the kiwiki theme does not display the pen icon to edit a page even though the permissions to edit it are correct and can be used though the main menu.
I guess this is some kind of bug in how permissions are presented to themes by Dokuwiki?
