Hi, new to the list.  I see instructions on the website for patching
from one wiki version to the next but not installing patch files like
this one.  I understand patching of single files, but your file includes
changes to multiple files.  What is the easy way to install this patch
into DokuWiki?  Also, is this patch only intended for the most current
version or would it work with most releases?

Thanks,

Bobby

Subject: [dokuwiki] Patch to make configurable display of user that made
changes

In a corporate environment, particularly with Single Sign-On, a user's 
login name may not be convenient [and also not under the user's control]

so may not be the most appropriate thing to display as the user that 
last edited a page.

This patch adds a configuration parameter that lets an admin decide 
whether to display the login name, full name or e-mail address of the 
person that made an edit (on the page at bottom right, on Recent Changes

and on Old Revisions). It also changes the "logged in as" text to be 
consistent. Where an e-mail address is to be displayed, it can be either

as plain text or as a mailto: link. [e-mail display is unlikely to be 
used on Internet facing sites due to address harvesting, but it follows 
the 'mailguard' setting to obfuscate as appropriate].

Cheers
Andy
