Automatic Creation of Userpages on registration
Based on a request in the SuggestionBox, this code will automatically create the page of a newly registered user. Therefore it uses another page, you can choose, as template.
Code is mostly borrowed from Clonepage-handler (thanks!).
Note that this needs some testing, for example it will surely fail, if you don't give the user the right to load (view?) the template-page.
The user is redirected to WelcomeUser after registration. If you don't want that, just delete the $this->Redirect(WelcomeUser); line after inserting the code.
1. Additions to Wikka.config.php
add the following to lines to the config-array:
- "createuserpage" => "on",
- "userpagetemplate" => "YourTemplatePage"
Perhaps you want to change YourTemplatePage to the page which will be the template for the new users.
2. Changes to actions/usersettings.php
add after
// log in
$this->SetUser($this->LoadUser($name));
$this->SetUser($this->LoadUser($name));
$createuserpage = $this->GetConfigValue('createuserpage');
if ($createuserpage == 'on')
{
$from = $this->GetConfigValue('userpagetemplate');
$note = 'automatic creation';
$thepage=$this->LoadPage($from); # load the source page
if ($thepage) $pagecontent = $thepage['body']; # get its content
$this->SavePage($name, $pagecontent, $note); #create target page
$this->Redirect(WelcomeUser);
}
if ($createuserpage == 'on')
{
$from = $this->GetConfigValue('userpagetemplate');
$note = 'automatic creation';
$thepage=$this->LoadPage($from); # load the source page
if ($thepage) $pagecontent = $thepage['body']; # get its content
$this->SavePage($name, $pagecontent, $note); #create target page
$this->Redirect(WelcomeUser);
}
3. Todo and comments
- make the note for the creation a config-option (i love having everything configurable ;) --NilsLindenberg- document
- test a little bit more
- offtopic: urgent note to myself: before registering ten times, should not forget to "comment-in" the code [don't ask ;)]
- Nils, nice idea - one extra feature I would like to see here is the automatic creation of a main header with the user name, so as to produce something like =====NilsLindenberg===== on page creation. This can either be done 'online' during page generation or by preg_replacing a placeholder on the template page. -- DarTar
- How about a short "who" action without you are? Do actions work in headers? --NilsLindenberg
- I was also thinking that on registration the user should be redirected either to his/her own new page, or to WelcomeUser which could have a dynamic link to the current user's page. --JavaWoman
- Yes, I definitely agree that on registration, the user should be redirected to WelcomeUser (which might also contain a dynamic welcome message like: Hi, ). -- DarTar
- Well, this is the case now. Except from the dynamic message. That is something the admin of a wiki has to/can do :) --NilsLindenberg
- I know that. But it is to the admin of a wiki, if he includes such thing into the template-page, or not. Not of the user-registration :) --NilsLindenberg
- Oh, I see what you mean now, Nils. The idea was to include such a "dynamic welcome" in the WelcomeUser page though - where it would be just the action. But then we'd have to create such a page on an install - for now it's only here... Hmmm. --JavaWoman
