Just some more detail. What I have is an auth token. It's retrieved via a web service. Ideally, such things could go into some sort of session variable or cookie. But the token is such that if you don't use it against the web service, it expires after 1 hour of non-use. The token is unique per user and point of origination.

So, my implementation is a markup on the page, so that when a user hits the page, their credential (I already have this) is used to retrieve their token/ticket for the web service. Depending on "who you are" operations on the page will succeed or fail based on your token, but the markup on the page is constant.

If you are not logged in (AuthUser with my credential saving technique), then the webservice prompts for login. However if you are logged into the wiki, the token/ticket is generated and access can be determined in lieu of webservice login.

The following isn't the site, but screen grabs of the site which hopefully explain how it all works better. I'm pretty ok with the implementation I've got right now.

Oh, InterMap definitions are processed even before any markup rules, so your
markup rule has not been able to set the PageVariable.

Using a markup rule is not a great way to set a PageVariable. I'd use a $FmtPV
function instead. See/check how other PageVariables are defined as functions in
the core (pmwiki.php:123) eg $Groupspaced, $Title, $BaseName or $PasswdRead. See
how the page group, name or another attribute is passed, and think how your
variable will work for another page like {OtherGroup.OtherPage$mymarkupvar}. It
is complex and resource intensive, but possible to RetrieveAuthPage the
pagename, then to look for your markup in the $page['text'] entry.

Or, piggyback on an existing PageVariable if it is never used, eg. (:keywords:)
or (:description:), and have your markup to set this variable by a simple
replacement:

  # Convert (:mymarkup:) to (:keywords ccox:myvariable:).
  # When a page is saved, "ccox:myvariable" will be in
  # the 'keywords' property and in $page["keywords"]
  Markup('mymarkupvar', '<keywords', '/\\(:mymarkup:\\)/', '(:keywords
ccox:myvariable:)');

  # a better way to set the PageVariable
  $FmtPV['$mymarkupvar'] = 'CCGetVariable(@$page["keywords"])';

  function CCGetVariable($keywords) {
    if(preg_match('/ccox:myvariable/i', $keywords)) return 'hello';
  }

This will also populate the "meta keywords" tag in the HTML source of the page
with "ccox:myvariable". If this is unacceptable, select a different way
(see/copy how the keywords property is set in stdmarkup.php, and add an entry to
$SaveProperties).

Let's say I now want to use a InterMap on such a page with my page
variable populated via markup...

such that I want to have

myintermap:    http://example.com/$1?a={$mymarkupvar}


The variable doesn't populate in that one.  Is it possible?

Bingo! Thanks Petko! '<{$var}'

When the markup rules are processed one after another, PageVariables like
{$mymarkupvar} are replaced with their contents very early. Most other
markup rules are processed later, see pmwiki.php?action=ruleset. So your
page variable is not yet set when it is encountered in the page, and it is
replaced with nothing, empty string.

MarkupMarkup, ie (:markup:) rules are processed before most other rules, and
before PageVariables. The content of a (:markup:) block is passed through
all markup rules one after another, like for the page, but before the page.
At that point, if you encounter your markup rule, it will set the page
variable (but not display it in the same block). However, later, when the
rest of the page is processed, the page variable value is already set so
when your markup is encountered, the variable is replaced with the value.

If you must process your markup rule before {$PageVariables}, change the
"when" argument (second) on the Markup() call.

Ok.. this is weird.  If my (:mymarkup:) is embedded in
(:markup:)(:markupend:) it works and my page variable is set. What am
I missing?

What I want is to have something like:

{$mymarkupvar}


on a page.  Where mymarkup does inside it's function:


global $FmtPV;


$GLOBALS['myvar'] = 'hello';

$FmtPV['$mymarkupvar'] = '$GLOBALS["myvar"]';
