NAME

Kwiki::Edit::RequireUserName - Replaces Kwiki::Edit in order to require a user name to edit

SYNOPSIS

This plugin helps reduce WikiSpam by requiring that the user have a user name before editing. The idea is that SpamBots won't take the trouble to do this. Of course this won't prevent spam created manually.

REQUIRES

   Kwiki 0.37 (new hooking mechanism)
   Kwiki::UserName (adds user name functionality to Kwiki)
   Kwiki::UserPreferences (adds the ability to change user names)

INSTALLATION

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test
   make install

   cd ~/where/your/kwiki/is/located
   vi plugins

Add the line

  Kwiki::Edit::RequireUserName

If you don't already have them add the following also

  Kwiki::UserName
  Kwiki::UserPreferences

Then run

  kwiki -update

UPGRADING

The previous version of Kwiki::Edit::RequireUserName subclassed Kwik::Edit, so the old documentation asked you to remove Kwiki::Edit from your list of plugins. This new version of Kwiki::Edit::RequireUserName no longer subclasses Kwiki::Edit, so you should put that line back in.
