Hi,
Can you give me a hint for showing if one user is logged or not. If user is logged, then I want to display the user name, as wikipedia or dokuwiki for example.
Regards,
Xan.

ikiwiki doesn't serve pages, so this can't be done inside ikiwiki.
For certain kinds of authentication it might be possible anyway.
For instance, if you're using [[plugins/httpauth]] exclusively and
your server has PHP, you could put <?php print("$REMOTE_USER"); ?> in all the relevant ikiwiki [[templates]] and arrange for the
generated HTML pages to get run through the PHP interpreter. The trick
would work differently with other [[plugins/type/auth]] plugins,
if at all. --[[Schmonz]]


Thanks a lot, Xan.
