Short description
The problem I am trying to solve is to keep my Wiki organised on a very hierarchical basis - not to everyone's taste I'm sure - but I'd like the option to do this.
As part of this, It would be nice to have user home pages under a "User" subdirectory - i.e. JohnSmith's home page would be Users/JohnSmith rather than JohnSmith.
The feature would be good for wikis which store a great deal of hierarchically organised information because it leave's the root directory uncluttered by use home pages.
You mean subpages of page "User"? The effect of this would be just that they are all listed at one place (under "User") on TitleIndex page. Is it that what you want?
BTW, moin 1.5 has the option of doing all user homepages in some separate "UserHome" wiki.
I'm going to restate the original point above in a different way because I want to know how to do it (I'm not the original poster btw). I just stumbled across this page while trying to work out how to do the same thing!
I am in the process of setting up an installation of moin in a company intranet environment. I would like to have user home pages, but have them as subpages of a page called "users". The reasons for this are:
I don't want every username to appear in the TitleIndex list.
- I would like to encourage people to use subpages of their user page to document work they are doing which may not fit into the main 'knowledge base'. People will be able to find information on such pages using the search tools, and thus find out what people are working on, but know from the page path that it is someone's individual work which may or may not have been completed.
I think all it would take to set this up would be to change the code that generates the username link at the top of the page when logged in, so that it is Users/UserName rather than Username. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Alternatively, is there a quick way of eliminating that link from the top of the page so noone follows it to create their homepage. Users would then have to manually create their homepages and could just as easily do so wherever I tell them to ;-).
Incidentally, I can't find any information on here about storing user home pages in a separate "userhome" wiki.
Thanks

I've just found FeatureRequests/UserNamespace, which seems to answer this requirement. I'll have to try it out when our installation is up and running - DS
