userXtension V2.0

events | experimental | develonly

This is the second and improved Version of the userXtension. Now it is not required anymore to adjust the engine of the DokuWiki to make this functionality available. The only requirements are that you have to install the plugin into an actual Version of DokuWiki (atm only the develonly) and insert a function into your template.

<? tpl_button_useracl(); ?>

This plugin gives the oportunitie to create plugins that can be handled by normal users who are logged into the system. These plugins can be part of administrative help for such as calendars that might just be altered by a certain user. At the moment the extension does not care if a user plugin has special authenticative requirements but one can set a lower acl limit to which user the plugins are available.

Of course nobody will find any deep administrative functions inside the user menu, except for someone will write such a plugin.

The next thing to implement will be a functionality that the administration can set permissions for user and /or groups to whom these enhancement will be available.

Please note, that this plugin is still highly experimental and I will not be responsible to trouble it might cause to your environment. But: I have to state that it is working properly at my sites.

Please feel free to contact me when there are questions, suggestions or critics.
