Questions answered by this recipe

How can I show/hide certain page actions for logged-out users? This section is optional; use it to indicate the types of questions (if any) this recipe is intended to answer.

Description

This recipe provides a Site.PageActions page that adapts itself according to the current login status and page action.
This table shows under what conditions a button is available:

Installation

These files have to be modified:

• config.php
• Site.PageActions

config.php

Add these lines to you local/config.php:

Site.PageActions

This recipe works with AuthUser or UserAuth.
Choose one of these two:

Variant for AuthUser

Change your Site.PageActions to:

Variant for UserAuth

Notes

Tested with PmWiki 2.1.2
Don't use with StaticPages as the generated pages won't have all actions on it.

Release Notes

If the recipe has multiple releases, then release notes can be placed here. Note that it's often easier for people to work with "release dates" instead of "version numbers".

Comments

I was only able to get this to work by inserting an asterix before each $FullName. This is necessary with PmWiki version 2.2.0-beta1 and beyond. i.e..

Yes, thanks James. I found that without the asterisk, $Fullname would resolve to "site.pageActions" instead of the current page when viewing any but site and main groups. -- Dave

This does not work without UserAuth? Is it possible to have the Loggin when you're using passwords? Thanks a log- Chris

I found a solution for myself. I'm not sure if it's right to add it here. Feel free to move it! If you want a Login when your using Passwords (View - Edit - History - Upload is hidden without a valid pass), your Site.PageActions should have something like this:

(:if !auth edit:)
* %item class=edit accesskey=$[ak_edit]%[[{$FullName}?action=edit | Login ]]
(:if auth edit:)
* %item class=browse accesskey=$[ak_view]%[[{$FullName} | $[View] ]]
(:if auth edit:)
* %item class=edit accesskey=$[ak_edit]%[[{$FullName}?action=edit | $[Edit] ]]
* %item class=diff accesskey=$[ak_history]%[[{$FullName}?action=diff | $[History] ]]
(:if auth upload:)
* %item class=upload accesskey=$[ak_attach]%[[{$FullName}?action=upload | $[Attach] ]]
(:if:)
* %item class=print accesskey=$[ak_print]%[[{$FullName}?action=print | $[Print] ]] }

The Login guides you to a password prompt and then to the edit mode. The View-Edit-History-Upload Buttons appear.

If you're using sectionEdit you may want, that the Edit section buttons do appear also after the Login. You have to modify the include_once for this file in your local config to this Code:

if (CondAuth ($pagename, 'edit')) {include_once('cookbook/sectionedit.php');}

Hope someone finds this helpful - Chris.

Now if you want login/logout based strictly on whether a password has been used in the session, you can use

(:if !enabled AuthPw:)
* [[{$FullName}?action=login | Login ]]
(:if enabled AuthPw:)
* [[Main/HomePage?action=logout | Logout ]]

A lot like Cookbook/AuthUserCMSLike, but with a different page. So, perhaps the two recipes should be merged?

This is my code for UserAuth 0.70:

* item class=browse accesskey='$[ak_view]' [[{$FullName} | $[View] ]]
(:if loggedin:)
* item rel=nofollow class=edit accesskey='$[ak_edit]' [[{$FullName}?action=edit | $[Edit] ]]
* item rel=nofollow class=diff accesskey='$[ak_history]' [[{$FullName}?action=diff | $[History] ]]
(:if:)
(:if auth upload:)(:if loggedin:)
* item rel=nofollow class=upload accesskey='$[ak_attach]'%25[[{$FullName}?action=upload | $[Attach] ]]
(:if:)(:if:)
* item rel=nofollow class=print accesskey='$[ak_print]'%25[[{$FullName}?action=print | $[Print] ]]

Maybe be helpfull.
