[pmwiki-users] vBulletin 3.5 user system integration

[Tim Ahrentlov]

Patrick

One more:

A:    $DefaultPasswords['edit'] = (<person_is_logged_in>) ? '' : '*';
Q:	What does the * do? Is password a "*" or does trigger some other
behavior?

Hi Patrick,

Thanks for your quick reply. It sounds very promising. Please allow me to
follow up with a couple of questions to your suggestions.

A:    $DefaultPasswords['edit'] = (<person_is_logged_in>) ? '' : '*';

Q: 	What other $DefaultPasswords are there?

---

A: 	$Author = <VB_username>;

Q1:	Will this make the system stop asking for an author name or will it
merely pre-fill it with the VB Username as a default?  

Q2:	What about the link to the VB users profile page? Can I do the
following: $Author=<a
href="http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/member.php?u=1">Administrator</a> and
expect pmwiki to show both name and link?

---

A: if (<user_is_admin>) $DefaultPasswords['admin'] = '';

Q: Will pmwiki still prompt for password for vb users not recognized as
privileged?


Regards
Tim

Sounds like a terrific idea.   Fortunately, PmWiki makes it
extremely easy to do what you want to do through local
customizations (in the local/config.php file).  In fact, each
one of them is a single line of code in the local/config.php file.

For each one, replace the <...> with whatever variable or code
you want to have that holds the appropriate value.

    $Author = <VB_username>;

    if (<user_is_admin>) $DefaultPasswords['admin'] = '';

Just edit the Site.PageActions page on the site and add any additional
urls there.

Yes, see above!  :-) :-)

Note that each of the above belong in your local/config.php file;
and don't require modifying any PmWiki scripts.  So, upgrading
shouldn't be a pain at all.

Gee, I thought PmWiki was already "on the map", or at least on
*a* map.  :-) :-)

Let me know how it works out.
