Welcome to the pmwiki community, Al Louis! I would *not* suggest you play with the standalone version of pmwiki: it would just be one more layer of difficulty for you, with no real advantage.
I agree with Gilles, instead: adopting a site-wide "read" password would probably be more than enough. You might even want to extend it to source, diff, print, upload and other typical actions. The link Gilles gave to you, plus this one http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PasswordsAdmin#settingsitewidepasswords should make most things clear. Actually, it is a very easy thing to do: just a small edit to your config.php file, it would take no more than 30 seconds overall. There are many other "creative" ways to limit access to you wiki. As an example: you might add something like order allow,deny Deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx allow from all into the .htaccess file placed into your wiki root folder. This way everybody will be able to see your wiki *but* those under the specified ip range. And, of course, you might also do the reverse, including your own ip and excluding the others... Try it, and ask again if in doubt. :-) kirpi _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
