[pmwiki-users] UserAdmin cookbook

[alexware at szokesandor.hu]

Dear Peter, 

1. anonymous - the user who visits my site, has no
password, cannot log in without any password.
Is it a wrong
interpretation? 

2. Initially I also installed
"Cookbook.UserAdminTemplates" and tried to modify the apperance of the
main menu as it is written on the hompage. I figured out, that I am
unable to modify, finally I looked into the code. There is a quite clean
definition, that if there is a templaet exists, than construction of the
main menu is skipped. (causing showing the same menu to both admin,
users, visitors [currently has no menu at all]) 

3. In the
"Cookbook.UserAdminTemplates" template you missed out the e-mail filed.
Therefore, the form that is currently defined cannot be used. This
caused me some disturbance. 

On the AuthUser page, for each user an
e-mail fieeld need to defined (I have tested this function with e-mail
fields defined, since I cannot expect good behaviour from in incomplete
set-up), I think this e-mail could also be used - without one explicitly
enter in on the form - to send the e-mail. Is not it? 

I hope that the
explanation is better know. If you need more details I could also share
more config settigns.

this recipe. By "anonymous user" do you mean users who have logged in

testing - I don't use that particular capability often and so it is
likely the recipe is under-tested for these.

Only one template can be used. :(

systems both WITH and WITHOUT templates defined as well as combinations
of the above, but clearly there is some edge condition that I have
missed.

Therefore, it is not working with this "default" template.
