The way I see it, storing the new user data on first submission is a relatively easy task, no matter what background storage system is used. As a minimum, each of those will need to store the password hash somewhere, and it's easy to corrupt it by combining it with the key (in an identifiable reversible manner, of course). There are at least three benefits from storing the data, as opposed to passing it through the authentication link: 1) Query parameters will get stored into browser histories and other places; we'll be leaking personal information jsut for our own minor convenience 2) Authentication links get significantly longer, which may produce more copy-paste errors, especially if an e-mail client breaks the link to multiple lines 3) There's a secret that is potentially discoverable and would allow bypassing the authentication. Minor risk (salted MD5 hash...) and with little reward, but still... - This also works for email subscription only sign-ups to newsletters or Notify, for users without accounts. It should not require a username and password. For using PmWiki data as a back-end to a newsletter or mailing list, I'd recommend Enemies of Carlotta http://liw.iki.fi/liw/eoc/index.html. It's no longer maintained, but the latest version seems stable. The reason I recommend it is that it has very few external requirements, and its back-end is completely flat-file. This means that it's been relatively simple to write a function for $EditFunctions that uses a pagelist to get the e-mail addresses, and writes the changes to the EoC subscriber lists. If someone's interested, I can publish the code, but I figured it's a bit too arcane for general use. I'm also using MHonArc http://www.mhonarc.org/ to convert the list archives to HTML, and yet more custom code to make that accessible from within PmWiki (including attachments, which TBH I was surprised would work). eemeli ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users

[pmwiki-users] Problem with PTV in Pagelists
I have just upgraded my PmWiki to the latest stable 2.2.16 from a
previous 2.x version. I am now having a problem using page text
variables in page lists. I am presuming that this is caused by a change
in behavior, but can't work out how to fix it.
My page list looks like this:
(:pagelist group=Calendar if=date {(ftime %Y%m%d)}.. {=$Name} count=5
fmt=#calendar order=name -Calendar.HomePage -RecentChanges:)
the format command looks like:
[[#calendar]]
||'''[[{=$FullName}| {=$JournalDateTitle}]]'''||
(:include {=$FullName} lines=2:)
(:if ! equal {$Group}:)
-
(:if:)
[[#calendarend]]
The pagelist displays the next five events in the Calendar group. The
problem is with $JournalDateTitle. This splits the filename from
Calendar.201005028 into a more human readable format. It displays
correctly when I use it on a page in the calendar group, but not
displayed in a side bar on the front page. This worked OK with the
previous version of PmWiki that I had installed.

Where's $JournalDateTitle coming from? Is it some custom code that's

I'd recommend instead using the standard MarkupExpression ftime:
{(ftime fmt=%A, %B %d, %Y when='{=$Name}')}
instead of {=$JournalDateTitle}.

There certainly are benefits, and I did use a temp sign-up storage file myself.

Store the IP and you can limit attempts to crack the secret.

Eemeli, you already have the mechanisms in your new AuthUserProfiles recipe proposal. Why not have an email-only option, stored in a separate place for these purposes? e.g. SiteAdmin.VerifiedAddresses, or whatever, which other recipes can access.

I'd recommend instead using the standard MarkupExpression ftime:
{(ftime fmt=%A, %B %d, %Y when='{=$Name}')}
instead of {=$JournalDateTitle}.
It's a custom function (see end of message). It's designed to return a
human readable date from the Page name e.g. News.20100527 would give
Thursday, 27 May 2010.
If you look at http://www.dodcott-cum-wilkesley.co.uk/wiki/News/20100527
you can see that it works in the base page, but not when used in a pagelist.
I don't normally write php and it's been a couple of years since I set
up this site. As it's always worked OK before the latest upgrade, my
memory of why I did it that way is a bit rusty:)
{(ftime fmt=%A, %B %d, %Y when='{=$Name}')} doesn't appear to work,
see the page referenced above for the output.
Thanks for your help.
# Title that appears as at the top of each entry.
$FmtPV['$JournalDateTitle'] = 'TitleToDate2($pagename)'
function TitleToDate2($pagename) {
$tname =
preg_replace(/[^.]*\.([\d\-]*)(.*)/e,'$1'==''?'$2':'$1',$pagename);
preg_match(/([\d]*)[-]?([\d]*)[-]?([\d]*)/e,$tname,$m);
$year = (integer) substr($tname, 0, 4);
$month = (integer) substr($tname, 4, 2);
$day = (integer) substr($tname, 6, 2);
$tdate= mktime(0, 0, 0, $month, $day, $year);

On the page itself, you need to use {$Name} or {*$Name}.
{=$Name} is required in the pagelist template to refer to the name of
page being listed at the moment.

As soon as i enter text into it and save it, i get a white page saying: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /XX/X/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/X on this server. i have NOT changed the passwords in config.php i have tried resetting the 3 page passwords with ?action=attr but i still get the same what am i missing? i am going insane!

[pmwiki-users] Question on Tagger recipe
Hi. I need to classify two different group of pages that can have tags with same name, but different context. So I imported tagged recipe (http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Tagger), read the documentation and defined two group of categories in config.php: $TaggerGroups['Autore']='Autore'; $TaggerGroups['Conferenza']='Conferenza'; include_once($FarmD/cookbook/tagger.php); Well, I included at the end of a page, the tags: Autore:Valerio Conferenza:Astronomia and then... I don't know how to query these categories. I can't find in the documentation how to get a list of all pages with the tag Conferenza/Astronomia. How can I do it?

The virtual private server (VPS) software that pmwiki.org is under watches memory usage, and when it exceeds a certain threshhold limit (burst mode) the controller starts killing off processes somewhat randomly to bring total memory usage back under the limit. Other processes run from time to time to bring key services (such as the webserver) back online if they were killed. I've never been able to determine exactly what causes the server to hit the limits. I know that some of the automated cpanel updates and system maintenance utilities often cause the memory limit to be exceeded (which I find frankly annoying, since I don't have much control over those). Also, if pmwiki.org (or the other sites I host on the VPS) gets flooded with a lot of HTTP requests (e.g. from poorly-behaved spiders) then memory usage can go up dramatically as well. This is especially true if those requests are for things like pagelists and search results that require a lot of memory to generate. I just checked with my service provider, and they apparently have new hosting packages that eliminate the burst mode problem and are also $30/mo *cheaper* than what I currently have. So, the solution looks to me like I should migrate pmwiki.org and my other sites to a new server package, and this should resolve a lot of our service issues. (It would also upgrade me to later versions of the OS and control panels and give me a good reason to clean up many things on the overall system, which should increase security and performance a fair bit.)
