[pmwiki-devel] PostPage in recipe

[Peter Bowers]

You'll need

   global $Author;

at the top of any function in which you want to change the value of that
global variable.

I add my thanks to Hans on this explanation for custom actions.  If it's
somewhere in the docs I've never seen it -- very nice feature & easy to
implement...
