I believe UserAdmin is an excellent start and probably has most of the functionality already needed. Unless someone is planning on really putting a lot of time into it then it just makes sense to "stand on the shoulders" of Eemeli with the work he's done. The idea of that recipe is to have it object-oriented with plug-in capabilities for the actual storage of the additional information needed. Thus if someone wanted to store it in the Profile pages then they would choose one plug-in. If someone else wanted to store it in some alternate form in the AuthUser table then they would choose a different plug-in. I don't know if Eemeli has time to contribute further. If so that would be ideal. If not I can provide copies of our correspondence and the most up-to-date code if anybody is willing to put some time & effort into it... To answer your question, yes, it depends on someone volunteering to take the lead and following through. There's not a lot of further investigation that needs to be done, although if someone wanted to do some testing on UserAdmin and provide that feedback via the talk-page that would be helpful. But if nobody steps up then I wouldn't hold my breath... -Peter _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
