Patch to make configurable display of user that made changes

In a corporate environment, particularly with Single Sign-On, a user's 
login name may not be convenient [and also not under the user's control] 
so may not be the most appropriate thing to display as the user that 
last edited a page.

This patch adds a configuration parameter that lets an admin decide 
whether to display the login name, full name or e-mail address of the 
person that made an edit (on the page at bottom right, on Recent Changes 
and on Old Revisions). It also changes the "logged in as" text to be 
consistent. Where an e-mail address is to be displayed, it can be either 
as plain text or as a mailto: link. [e-mail display is unlikely to be 
used on Internet facing sites due to address harvesting, but it follows 
the 'mailguard' setting to obfuscate as appropriate].

Cheers
Andy

Let's be pragmatic. No one serious will want to display email
addresses. Login name are computer centric. I'd suggest to
replace the login name by the full name? It's more meaningful
for humans.

I understand your point; but let me expand on my use-case a little.

I agree that use of e-mail address would be rare, but it is actually 
what I want for the instance I manage. Amongst my target audience 
(currently around 100 contributors from a total pool size of around 
85,000), e-mail address is actually the most recognisable unique 
distinguishing thing. Login name is not recognisable as it is machine 
generated on a central Single Sign-On system. Full name can be ambiguous 
(because for SSO it doesn't need to be unambiguous). But e-mail address 
is widely used on other internal systems so is the most distinguishing 
and most recognised "name" within my pool of users.

My site is purely internal ("behind the firewall") so no risk of address 
harvesting. I also have a large user community that includes quite a few 
people that have not bought into the whole Wiki Way and are, well, too 
/scared/ to make edits and or add comments to a page that are instantly 
visible to everyone. Such people are more inclined to e-mail a page 
author/editor than to get in there and edit the page; they don't do 
Facebook and that whole Web2.0 thing. So I want a mailto: link so that

Re: Patch to make configurable display of user that made changes

For the wiki that my company runs, we have a very similar scenario.
Having the option to display email address would be nice.  For our
implementation though, username is fairly easy to decipher and determine
who the author is and what the author's email address is.

Thanks,
Clayton Ginsburg

Re: Patch to make configurable display of user that made changes

Hi, new to the list.  I see instructions on the website for patching
from one wiki version to the next but not installing patch files like
this one.  I understand patching of single files, but your file includes
changes to multiple files.  What is the easy way to install this patch
into DokuWiki?  Also, is this patch only intended for the most current
version or would it work with most releases?

Thanks,

Bobby

  * Try to fix checkboxes in media manager in FF3

  This patch fixes the position of the option checkboxes in the mediamanager
  for Firefox 3. It might have broken them in other browsers.

  Please test everybody.

  * editor_info_patch
  At present, DW shows the username on the bottom left under "logged in as", and the login name for "last
modified", "locked by" and under 
  revisions/recent changes. In a corporate environment, particularly when integrated with a Single
Sign-On system, the login name may be somewhat 
  unfriendly. This patch makes the "logged in as" the same as the value used elsewhere and also allows an admin
to decide whether it should be the 
  login name, username or e-mail address that is displayed. The e-mail address may also, optionally, be a
mailto: link. E-mail addresses are 
  obfuscated according to the 'mailguard' setting. The default behaviour is to show the login name which is
no change from previous behaviour for the

It's a darcs patch as DokuWiki development uses darcs SCM. It applies
against a copy (clone) of the darcs repository. See the page about
darcs for more details: http://www.dokuwiki.org/devel:darcs

By the way, Andi just pushed the patch to the development repository
so if you get your copy of this repository you won't have nothing to
do to get access to the feature provided by the patch. Of course it's
a development version of DokuWiki.

Linking to the API docs

Hi *

I just finished a new plugin for DokuWiki called xref [1]. It is
installed at dokuwiki.org and makes it very easy to link to the
autogenerated source code docs. Please have a quick look at the syntax
description and try to make use of it when ever you mention a
variable, constant, function, class or file in any DokuWiki page. This
should make it much easier for new developers to jump into DokuWiki's
code.

Now have a nice weekend :-)
