Hide user guide pages on the translation site

[humdinger]

As discussed on the docs mailing list in topic ​Publishing the translated guides the working documents and maybe generated pages available from the translation site, should be protected from "leaking" out. All linkage and search engine results should point to the single location of the official Haiku User Guide.

Therefore, everything behind the start page with the login, should be protected by that authentification.

Koki should have put a robots.txt file in place for userguide.haikuzone.net already.

This authentification protection should be done immediately, so I put a prio=high on this ticket.

FYI, this is done.

The documents page is now restricted to logged in users. Direct access to /generated and view.php is still possible, though.

Searching for "haiku site://i18n.haiku-os.org/" modified during the last year do not generate any search results (searching without any last modification date results in 29 matches).

Closing this ticket as fixed.

I think what was intended back when this ticket was filed, is that the access to everything under ​http://i18n.haiku-os.org/userguide/ is restricted and points toward the login page. Currently, entering the URL ​http://i18n.haiku-os.org/userguide/view.php?doc_id=71&l=de will show you a page even if you don't have an account.

Obviously I didn't read the entire mailing-list thread, I just read the ticket. I'll have to fix the exported documents. Since they are plain html pages, I need to make another solution. But that will solve another todo; moving all the generated files outside of the web-root.

In the current setup, any user that knows where files are stored (like Google) can open documents if they know the url. So I'll just move the export, import, source_repos and source_docs outside the web root and create a rule that searches for them. In that way, we can restrict access to logged on users using php.

Currently, entering the URL ​http://i18n.haiku-os.org/userguide/view.php?doc_id=71&l=de will show you a page even if you don't have an account.

Fixed in ​45d8f3217776. As usual, it will be available on the next pull by Niels.

Reopen?

Sure. I also changed the priority to normal.

Should be fixed in ​70c52b0f3c77. The css won't work because of an error that will require me to rewrite a lot. So we have to live with that for a while.

I'm keeping this ticket open until you can verify that it works as intended.

Made a quick fix in ​ab77a56bcda1. It still needs to be fixed properly since I have more problems with that (stupid) idea of using a base variable when there are server variables for that usage.

I had to backout of this changeset. It needs some more loving.

Seems to work just fine now?
