[pmwiki-users] PmWiki questions...

[The Editor]

After working through the various ZAP questions in my last post I
ended up with a couple PmWiki questions.

1) Is there any possibility of support for a nested tables solution
like the following?  The markup is too tricky on this for me to
handle, so I'm submitting it as a feature request to Pm. Or any recipe
write who cares to try it!  : )

(:table:)
(:cellnr:)
(:cell:)
  (:table:)
  (:cellnr:)
  (:cell:)
  (:cell:)
  (:tableend:)
(:cell:)
(:cellnr:)
(:cell:)
(:cell:)
(:tableend:)

2) Is there any way to extend the group permissions system in PmWiki
so groups could be defined in other ways.  Specifically, I'd like to
maintain pages like Members.ChessClub containing nothing but lists of
members (either csv or one to a line) and have it so a page where
PasswdRead=@ChessClub, all the members will be automatically included
just as if they were listed on Site.AuthUser.  I could manually add
them to Site.AuthUser, but the code would be messier, and less secure.

3) I'm wondering with the new forms processing system Pm is
developing, just how flexible the following syntax is:

http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/SimpleRating?action=edit&editform=Cookbook.RecipeInfoForm

That is, can it be used with other actions or only edit? More
importantly, can it work with ZAP forms? Or perhaps to put it
differently, will this structure cause the included forms to work any
differently that regular forms? I'm assuming all page variables will
be keyed to the original page and not the form page.

This is a very powerful and cool feature. It would be nice if somehow
it could be generalized, or at least a hook given to recipe writers to
be able to somethings similar for their forms.

Cheers,
Dan
