ewiki

The two modes of operation (_protected_mode and _flat_real_mode)

While this wiki was originally developed as a real wiki, many people
use it for different things now, like private HomePages+, easy CMS on
commercial web sites.

This fact lead to the support of a restricted operation mode, now
known as the _PROTECTED_MODE. It is often used to require people to
log in before they can edit pages or upload things. It is completely
optional, and doesn't have much impact on speed when left disabled.

                          Btw, the standard ewiki operation mode is
                                now known as the _FLAT_REAL_MODE ;)

If you'd like to use authentication, you'll probably want to chain
some plugins which enable you to use the user database from
yoursite.php, so you do not need a separate .htaccess or an
additional relational database for passwords. Please see the section
on auth plugins.

See also the EWIKI_PROTECTED_MODE+ configuration constant and the
separate plugins/auth/README.auth+ file for further and more
detailed informations on this feature.

You cannot modify the README file, but anyhow any ideas or suggestion should as usually get filed on BugReports, UserSuggestions or even better the README.Discussion.
