Note: The recipes here are for PmWiki versions 0.6 and 1.0 only. For PmWiki 2.0 recipes, see Cookbook.

Goal

To embed authentication seamlessly into the Wiki page design without fiddling with HTML, CSS etc.

Solution

Attach:sessionauthform.php.txt

Discussion

PmWiki provides a login form (sessionauth.php). But the output is simple HTML and without a certain effort not easily embeddable into your Wiki design.

See http://beeblebrox.net/System/Login for an example of SessionAuthForm.

Installation

To install SessionAuthForm, perform the following steps:

1. Place the Attach:sessionauthform.php.txt script in your local/ subdirectory, then add the following line to your local configuration:

    include_once('local/sessionauthform.php');

2. Set configuration variables in your local configuration if you want

$LoginPage: Defines the Wiki page to use as login form. This page must not exist! It is created the first time you run the SessionAuthForm script. Default value is Main.Login.
$AuthFormFmt: Defines the look of the authentication form. Default value is

    <p>&nbsp;</p>
    <p>&nbsp;</p>

    <b>Please enter author and password</b>

Comments & Bugs

Please post bugs and comments.

It works fine. I have placed it with the help of some css (div-tag) and it looks very nice.

But: how can I use it with PmWiki 2 ? I'm not that kind of programer to customize it at all, but would like to use this way also for another site running with pmwiki2.
