[sfWiki-devel] user authentication, sessions, and editing

[Todd L. M. <tm...@ha...>]

	Well, I found a little problem with authentication for
editing.  Basically, the edit links are generated when the page is saved,
which means they can't append the PHP session id, so I'd have to use
cookies to allow people to edit w/o entering their password every new
edit, or alter PrintWikiTopic to substitute the session id, if available,
where it needed to go.  This method has the disadvantage of requiring a
potentially expensive search & replace every time a logged-in user views a
page.  Cookies have their obvious dis/advantages, but one advantage: I
won't have to go through sfWiki and make sure every link in it or link
that it produces has the session id hanging off of it.  Thoughts?
