Improve message displayed when BLOG_VIEW permissions not granted

[Ryan J Ollos]

For the standard Trac components (e.g. tickets, reports, etc ...), when a user attempts to navigate to a page for which they don't have permissions, Trac displays a message such as:

REPORT_VIEW permissions required to view this item

However, when a user navigate to /blog, but doesn't have BLOG_VIEW permissions, the message is:

No handler matched request to /blog

It would be nice if this message read:

BLOG_VIEW permissions required to view this item

Its a very minor thing, which is why I'm posting it as an enhancement. I might try to work on it since I want to learn more about the Trac permissions scheme.

(In [6402]) FullBlogPlugin: Deferring permission check from match_request() to process_request() in order to provide a useful message. Closes #5595.

Thanks for the fix! This is one of the most well maintained plug-ins on trac-hacks.

Certainly, its the least I could do!

I updated the FullBlogPlugin on my Trac instance, and I see the following message when accessing the blog for a user that doesn't have this permission.

BLOG_VIEW privileges are required to perform this operation on Blog:

That is perfect. Thanks!
