AuthUserCookie

Goal

If you use the build-in script AuthUser, PmWiki store username and password in session, that means you will be logged out when you close your browser. This module use cookie to help AuthUser have the persistent login ability.

Files

• AuthUserCookie-0.1.zipΔ

Installation

• Unpack the distribution file into your PmWiki cookbook directory
• Add the following lines into your config.php file (Before the including of AuthUser script):

• Notice you should change $AuthUserCookieKey to be special string other than the one in this example
• Modify your Site/AuthForm page to add the 'persistent' checkbox to PmWiki's login form, such as:

'''$[Password required]'''
(:messages:)
(:if enabled InvalidLogin:)* $[Name/password not recognized]
(:if:)
(:input auth_form:)
(:if enabled EnableAuthUser:)$[Name]: (:input text name=authid:)\\
(:if:)$[Password]: (:input password name=authpw:)\\
(:if2 enabled AuthUserCookie:)$[Persistent]: (:input checkbox name=persistent checked=true:)\\(:if2:)
(:input submit value='OK':)
(:input end:) 

• Log out your current account, AuthUserCookie is enabled

Configuration

The following variables can be defined before userauth.php is included in config.php:

$AuthUserCookieExp - The expiration time for the cookie, in seconds. Defaults to 30 days.

Notes

The including of AuthUserCookie and all related settings must be ahead of the including of AuthUser script in config.php! Otherwise, nothing will take effect.

If you get a "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by ......" error, please try to turn on 'output_buffering' setting to 'On' in php.ini file.

... Or remove the closing "?>" php tag. --Petko
