[pmwiki-users] History/trace of the pages already seen

[Ben Wilson]

I did this once before. You will have to author a recipe that adds
more session management--no mean feat.

What you will want to do is manage the user's session variables on the
server. In the user's session file, you will want to keep an array
called "history." Let's say you want to track the last five pages:

function history($s, $page) {
  $h = $s['history'];
  array_unshift($h, $page);
  $h = array_unique($h);
  if (size_of($h) > 5) {
     $s['history'] = array_slice($h, 0, 5);
  }
  reverse($h);
  $FmtV['history'] = blah, blah.
}

But, you will have to manage the user's session more closely than PmWiki tries.
