Oops sorry about that, looks like you'll have to educate the teachers about
ACL's a little bit unless Moin can add a feature to allow ACL changes on
new pages created by templates with ACL's in them.
Perhaps a big comment on each template and giving the teacher admin rights
is the way to go at present
#acl ...

## The line above controls access to the page you can get more info about
this from ...

## This template creates a page that can be read by ... And edited by ...

Sorry the idea failed to deliver, I should have tested it first
All best

This is a beautiful idea. It just blew up on me, though. :>
I created an account for another teacher, and had her create a page using my
PageForTeachersTemplate, which started with the following line (substitute
the full access type for each letter, elided here for
brevity):
#acl MrJohnson:r,w,d,r,a TeacherGroup:r,w,d,r All:
I read this as: I have all rights, the teachers have all but admin rights,
and everybody else has no rights. Right?
The other teacher created a new page with the template, and when she clicked
"Save Changes", she got this message:
You can't change ACLs on this page since you have no admin rights on
it!
OK, I tried it then after adding
TeacherGroup:r,w,d,r,a
to the default ACLs, and now page creation works. So if I'm reading things
right, this means that I can't hide ACL lines from the teachers, and I can't
deny admin rights for the teachers if I want them to create pages that can
be hidden from students.
Does that sound right? Is there anything I'm missing?
Thanks for your helpful responses.
Best,
jmj
