Re: [Phpwiki-talk] auto /Calendar, /Preferences, CreateHomePageCB (was Re: do subpages work?)

But they are not automatically created. Maybe they should?

The <User>/Preferences subpage is just a shorthand for the 
UserPreferences Plugin.

Well, it's not sure that every user has it's own homepage.
if so it would be easy to get at his preference data.

Hmm. The optional "Create HomePage" button is not bad.
(if it would work).

Unfortunately I had a lot of work to do in the last months.
