[pmwiki-users] [SEMI-SOLVED] Read page text variable before including authuser script...

[pmwiki.johnny1000 at spamgourmet.com]

Sorry about the double posting about this functionality.
An email server retained the first mail for many hours, so I thought it 
was lost, possibly to some spam filter, and tried sending a new 
rephrased version.

Anyway...

Thank you. Petko, as ususal, for a fast and helpful answer :o)

$AuthUserPageFmt was exactly what I needed for this functionality.

For others looking for something like the same functionality, this code 
in config.php will authenticate through individual <group>.<username> 
pages, in stead of through the default single SiteAdmin.AuthUser page:

if ($_POST['authid']) {
     $AuthUserPageFmt = array("SomeGroup.{$_POST['authid']}");
}

It also is not needed for this functionality, now that I know about 
$AuthUserPageFmt :o)

Thanks again, Petko :o)
