The pages that any Writer could see had not been put into the appropriate Custom Security folders, which is why they were visible and accessible to any writer.

I am logged in as a writer without privileges to any of the group's folders, however; I can still see their activity in "Recent Actvity" and there are active liinks to the secured pages, This happens if I am logged in as a writer or admin, I also logged in yesterday with some students (writer access) and they had access to ALL links in "recent activity, even if it wasn't their groups folder. If I log out completely, I'm out and can't see a thing. (this is a private wiki)

Then it appears to be working properly. Perhaps Casey is correct, and you are logged in with privileges. How does your 'Recent Activity' look when you log out completely?

I can't access any of Donna's pages or folders and I can not see the page in the recent activity. This is what I see in Recent Activity:

Both ways

Donna,

I just created a page called 'Donnas Page', and placed it in a folder called 'Donna'. The page has no special security, and the folder is limited to Admins. Visit the V2.0 Forum Demo Wiki, and see if you can see the page in Recent Activity, or if either of those links let you see anything.

Also, I just got your ticket to Support, so I'll be addressing your concerns there, and posting the solution once we arrive at it.

Are you logged in as yourself, or with an Account with lower permissions?

I have private folders set up and anybody can click on the recent activity and access the SUPPOSIVELY private pages that have recently been edited.

I filed an official report- Thanks!

Workarounds are being found every day to extend PBwiki in ways PBwiki did not originally intend. Guy Fawkes and widget2.pbwiki.com are probably your best bet for information of this sort.

I do have one question though - Why do you want to hide the Recent Activity?

Well that's just fantabulous... where can we can complain about this?

Donna, the original poster here is referring to the tabbed sidebar, a feature only found on V1.0 wikis. There is no way to remove the odious Recent Activity feature from V2.0 (as you well know). – Guy Fawkes, on May 07, 2008 17:50

Where do you do this? I am so super frustrated with this thing!

I have version 2.0

Donna, do you have a 1.0 wiki or a 2.0 wiki? Recent Activity works very differently between the two versions. – Casey Greene, on May 07, 2008 17:30

How do you delete recent activity?

You're welcome, although my hack will not correct the actual security problem, and future releases may break any hacks like this. You should file a trouble ticket with support so they can get the problem fixed internally. – Guy Fawkes, on May 07, 2008 17:21
