[pmwiki-users] Different skins for non-admins

[Greg]

Hans

Thank you for info. Now I have more work cut out for me. I added the  
two pieces (skin and loginLogout), but am not seeing a login, but as  
I said originally I haven't explored much. :if auth admin: sounds  
useful, but I'd better not add too many things until I get the basics  
working. Like why I can't just go to /pmwiki/ and have it work.
