Steve. Thanks. That is nice! It certainly helped, and, it certainly opened my eyes to a whole bunch of things I completely don't yet understand! What "Authorizations" recipe are you using, for example. I see that you are somehow limiting site tools to someone with some level of access (to even see the button). I have no clue how to do that or even how to approach it (I finally figured out how to PW protect individual pages just yesterday hehe).
<br><br>Thanks again!<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 24/05/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Steve Glover</b> <<a href="mailto:steve@fell-services.net">steve@fell-services.net</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi,<br><br>> I changed to the skin called "dropdown" yesterday and discovered today<br>> that I no longer have the "Show Recent Changes" button. Having never<br>> looked at how that buttom was created, I was wondering if someone
<br>> could send me what I need to add that functionality to my sidebar?<br>><br>> Sorry for the, I am sure, very basic question. Most of what you guys<br>> discuss is "greek to me", but hopefully someday I will understand this
<br>> stuff better.<br><br>Here's what I have in my Site.Sidebar:<br><br>(:if auth edit:)* [[ Team.SiteTools | Site Admin]](:ifend:)<br>* [[ {$Group}.{$Name}?action=search&q={$Name} | BackLinks ]]<br>* [[ Documents.Search
| Search ]]<br>* [[ {$Group}.{$Name}?action=print | Print ]](:if auth attr:)<br>* [[ {$Group}.GroupAttributes?action=attr | ACL ]](:ifend:)(:if auth<br>edit:)<br>* [[ {$Group}.{$Name}?action=edit | Edit Page ]]<br>* [[ {$Group}.{$Name}?action=diff | History ]]
<br>* [[ {$Group}.RecentChanges | Changes ]](:if auth upload:)<br>* [[ {$Group}.{$Name}?action=upload | Upload ]](:ifend:)(:if auth edit:)<br>* [[ Main.HomePage?action=logout | logout ]](:ifend:)<br><br>It's basically a bulleted list displayed (via stylesheets) as a set of
<br>buttons, and each button is either visible or hidden depending on<br>whether the user is logged in or has appropriate privileges - but that's<br>probably way too much info for now.<br><br>The bit you want is the item:
<br><br>[[ {$Group}.RecentChanges | Changes ]]<br><br>which gives a link to the current group's recent changes....<br><br>Hoping this helps,<br><br>Steve<br><br><br><br>--<br>Steve Glover at email:
