This is the single biggest disadvantage of authusersignup -- it's just too much pain to install unless you're already using wikish otherwise on your site. It should be a single PHP script and a form on a page or 2. I'm pretty certain that the problems you ran into were not related to the robustness or lack thereof of authusersignup but rather to the unfortunate complexity of the installation or to cross-ups with other recipes. Documentation of the installation process is somewhat terse in some points and a small change in the installation can lead to unexpected/nonfunctional results. Of course there's always the possibility that a site's environment will be different, but this recipe does not rely heavily on skin capabilities or something like that... My guess would be some other recipe wasn't playing nicely with wikish (or vice versa). > I could try and write an extension for Fox, to process the > registration form and the confirmation form. > But so far I never allowed Fox to write admin pages, to stay out of > potential security problems. > Although Fox can do mailing notifications already, I have not allowed > Fox to mail to anywhere, the email targets need to be set on a > template, or in config. I tend to think it's not really ideal to have this functionality as a subset of a larger form processor, but to have something special-purpose instead. But who am I to talk, having implemented through wikish... :-) -Peter _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
