pedromaia I'm going to use DokuWiki for paid documentation and I would like to not allow users to copy wiki content. They can read it, but not copy or edit. Is it possible to not allow them to copy? Thanks
chriss Unfortunately not. Your use case is quite contrary to spirit of wiki's and how most of the standard part of the web works - so its not likely to be included in future. Anything that dokuwiki puts out is in normal HTML. Any user can copy the content by viewing the source (view/source on the menu of most browsers) or by employing one of the many website spidering tools out there. I would guess your options are to prevent them copying by good behaviour and licence or by using flash/silverlight where you have greater control over the transfer of data to the user and their ability to interact with it. Even with that, a determined user could still screenshot and use OCR.
ryan-chappelle I would not use the word unfortunately, but meh. Bottom line is anything that is put out by DokuWiki, or any wiki system in general, is normal HTML any browser understands and presents in a webpage and as such it is copyable. It's part of its purpose. You seem to be looking for a paid access "veil" to your website, that is a system that tolls and controls access and probably presents all content (DokuWiki or otherwise) via a nontrivial interface like a Flash device or (deities forbid it) ActiveX. But I'd say if you are looking to provide documentation yet forbid access to it, you're doing something rrrrrrong.
pedromaia Yes, it's mainly because of license. Althought not the entire wiki has a restrictive license. Most part of it has a CC license. I'm offering a free and open source software, so at least I have to charge for the training, book and software tips. The site is only avaiable for those who did the training. Anyway, I'm going to use the ACL editor and show where it has a copyright license or not. Thanks for the help. :)
