Question

Some people want to merge the "best features" of UserAuth and AuthUser. Among these is integration with CMSLike. Is it possible to have CMS behavior with AuthUser?

Answer

A site may have CMS Like behavior while using AuthUser without fancy footwork.

Create the CMS Menu. PmWiki already comes with a page dedicated to the page actions Site.PageActions. So, all we need to do is adjust this page to allow for role-based options. Here is an example.

(:if ! [ auth admin || authid ] :)
[[{$FullName}?action=login|$[login]]]
(:if [ auth admin || authid ]:)
[[{$FullName}?action=logout|$[logout]]]
(:if auth edit:)
· [[{$FullName}?action=edit|$[edit]]]
· [[{$FullName}?action=diff|$[history]]]
(:if auth admin:)
· [[{$FullName}?action=attr|$[attr]]]
· [[{$SiteGroup}.AuthUser?action=edit|$[users]]]
