It looks like there is no way to logout of ikiwiki at present, meaning that if you edit the ikiwiki in, say, a cybercafe, the cookie remains... is there some other security mechanism in place that can check for authorization, or should I hack in a logout routine into ikiwiki.cgi?
Click on "Preferences". There is a logout button there. --liw
It would be nice if it were not buried there, but putting it on the
action bar statically would be confusing. The best approach might be to
use javascript. --[[Joey]]
I agree that javascript seems to be a solution, but my brain falls
off the end of the world while looking at ways to manipulate the DOM.
(I'd argue also in favor of the openid_provider cookie expiring
in less time than it does now, and being session based)
(The openid_provider cookie is purely a convenience cookie to
auto-select the user's openid provider the next time they log
in. As such, it cannot be a session cookie. It does not provide any
personally-identifying information so it should not really matter
when it expires.) --[[Joey]]
It would be nice to move navigational elements to the upper right corner
of the page...
I have two kinds of pages (wiki and blog), and three classes of users
anonymous users - display things like login, help, and recentchanges,
non-admin users - on a per subdir basis (blog and !blog) display
logout, help, recentchanges, edit, comment
admin users - logout, help, recentchanges, edit, comment, etc
