Dokuwiki includes the config['showuseras']
http://www.dokuwiki.org/config:showuseras
to control how how a user is identified, which currently takes:
* 'loginname' users login name
* 'username' users full name
* 'email' e-mail address (will be obfuscated as per mailguard)
* 'email_link' e-mail address as a mailto: link (obfuscated)
However - on our wiki, there is a special group, who would like to be
identified as such.
For example editorinfo('rgetz') should return "rgetz (foo)" if that user is a
member of the special "bar" group. This helps identify people visiting the
wiki if an "expert" has written the documentation or not.
Think on the dokuwiki wiki - would pages be trusted anymore/less if you knew
the modifications were made by someone in a "Dokuwiki Developer" group. I
think so. This is more true for people new to things, who don't know who is a
developer, and who is not...
I can do this with a small patch to ./inc/common.php:editorinfo(), and a new
$conf[] but wanted to get people's opinion if this was general purpose enough
to bother, or if there was a different way to do this.
