[pmwiki-devel] Localizing changes from IsAuthorized as well as HandleAttr

[Danny Kimsey]

Thank you for the help on your suggestion for the use of the
GL_PERMISSION hash.  That was definetly an easy fix and should have
occured to us sooner :)
Also redirecting the PrintAttrForm function worked well too. Many
thanks on your help on these issues!
