[Phpwiki-talk] user authentication (phpnuke) and moderation

[Samphan R. <sa...@th...>]

1) user authentication
After a bit of research, I found that user authentication thru phpnuke
was done for phpwiki 1.2 but not check-in. I'm using php 1.3 so may
be I can apply those patches and solve the conflicts myself if no one
did it.

2) moderation
I guess this can be done by adding a flag (to the database?) to tell
which versions is moderated and then let the modified index.php
retrive the latest one with templates that get rid of buttons.

Is this the right way to go?
