Look at the CMS recipes. There is one designed to work with UserAuth
that works perfectly in that context. (See

</div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">would also be nice to add a specific Login link, and even better to have<br>one that automatically changed to Logout if the user was already logged
<br>in. I must admit that as a newcomer to PmWiki I am finding the help in<br>the cookbook rather hard to follow.</blockquote><div><br>
UserAuth does this. There is a specific link you may add to the Skin.<br>
</div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Here come the questions...!<br><br>1) There seem to be two recipes that handle user authentication...
<br>UserAuth and AuthUser. What is the difference? Which is more newbie<br>friendly!?</blockquote><div><br>
AuthUser is meant to be the de facto user authentication for PmWiki.
UserAuth is an order authentication system recipe that is fairly
popular. I mostly use UserAuth but do also use AuthUser in a couple of sites I manage.<br>

<br>file is not writable in..." What access rights need to be assigned to<br>.htpassword? (At present it is 644 -rw-r--r--)</blockquote><div><br>
chmod 666 .htpassword <br>

file. Could someone give me a pointer as to how I can use<br>conditional formatting (ie hide the edit link) based upon the current<br>users. It confuses me as the HTML seems to be outside the scope of<br>PmWiki's conditional markup.

<br>kind, welcoming and helpful :)<br><br>Rob.<br><br><br><br><br>------------------------------<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>pmwiki-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com">
