Description: It would be really neat if notify.php parsed Page Text Variables. Then SiteAdmin.NotifyList could be written as

(:pagelist group=Profiles $:Email=- fmt=#byemail:)

(:if false:)
[[#byemail]]
* notify={{=$FullName}$:Email} trail={=$FullName}
[[#byemailend]]
(:ifend:)

That would let users enter their own email addresses as Page Text Variables in their Profile pages for notification. The administrator wouldn't need to manually update SiteAdmin.NotifyList. But it should only be used on password-protected wikis (to prevent spamming).

A sample profile page might look like:

:Email: email@example.com

! My Bookmarks
* [[PmWiki.Notify]]
* [[PmWiki.PageTextVariables]]
* [[PITS.01123]]

Hi. About "The administrator wouldn't need to manually update SiteAdmin.NotifyList", you could set a read&edit password on SiteAdmin.NotifyList?action=attr and tell it to your users, letting them add add and update their own notify= lines. If you use a single edit password for the wiki, you could apply it to the NotifyList too. If you have AuthUser, you could set the password to id:* for example. --Petko December 24, 2009, at 06:11 AM
