James - good news, the Developer has just fixed the problem with the error message when you try to click on permissions. I've tested it and can confirm that it is new working as expected. Can you download the plugin from https://github.com/synergylearning/moodle-local_wikiexport/archive/master.zip and install it again.

When you have the new code...

  1. Go to the wiki.
  2. Click on the settings cog and choose "Permissions"
  3. Scroll down to "Create new wiki pages" and delete the student role.
  4. Students will then not be able to create new wiki pages in that wiki only.
If you want the same for ALL wikis on your site, go to Site Administration > Users > Permissions > Define Roles
and do the same for the student role.

Many thanks. I've just seen this good news. Unfortunately, in the meant time I've had my theme changed to Adaptable and can't open the wiki at all. I'll have to go back to Boost until this is sorted. And try out your permissions solution. Thanks again.

Hi Jon,

I was waiting until Moodle and the Adaptable theme were updated before taking the steps you provided, but they are not necessary in the scenario. The permissions are working. This is good news for everyone! 

Best wishes,

James
