-On FreeBSD, perl defaults to installation in `/usr/local/bin/perl` since it is not a part of the base system. If the option to create symlinks in `/usr/bin` is not selected, building and running ikiwiki will fail because the shebang lines use `#!/usr/bin/perl [args]`. Changing this to `#!/usr/bin/env -S perl [args]` fixes the issue.

+I think this should be a concern of ikiwiki's official FreeBSD port.
+
+At any rate, even if it is decided that ikiwiki should be fixed, then it is probably better to use
+`$installbin/perl` from `-MConfig` and not the `env` hack.
I was referred to this page from posting to the forum. I am also interested in being able to use user class and status to modify the page. I will try to put together a plugin. From what I can see there needs to be a few items in it.
-* It should expose a link to a dedicated login page that, once logged in, returns the user to the calling page, or at least the home page.
+* It should expose a link to a dedicated login page that, once logged in, returns the user to the calling page, or at least the home page. I have started a plugin to do this: [[/plugins/contrib/justlogin]]
* it needs to expose a link to a little json explaining the type of user and login status.
--- /dev/null
+This plugin is still in development. Currently it does bring up the login page and the login page does, with proper credentials, log in the user, but the returning page errors.
+
+Place this code into a page:
+
+<form action="http://portable.local/cgi-bin/ikiwiki.cgi" method="get">
+
+<input type="hidden" name="do" value="justlogin" />
+
+<input type="submit" value="Login" /></form>
+
+
+
+This is the plugin so far:
+
+ #!/usr/bin/perl
+ # Bring up a login page that returns to the calling page
+ package IkiWiki::Plugin::justlogin;
+
+ use warnings;
+ use strict;
+ use IkiWiki 3.00;
+
+ sub import {
+ hook(type => "sessioncgi", id => "justlogin", call => \&sessioncgi);
+ hook(type => "auth", id => "justlogin", call => \&auth);
+ }
+
+ sub sessioncgi ($$) {
+ my $q=shift;
+ my $session=shift;
+
+ debug("jl sessioncgi1 running.");
+
+ if ($q->param('do') eq 'justlogin') {
+ debug("Justlogin do=justlogin running.");
+ if (! defined $session->param("name") ) {
+ debug("Justlogin param!defined running.");
+ $session->param(postsignin => $ENV{HTTP_REFERER} );
+ $session->param("do" => "justgoback" );
+ IkiWiki::cgi_savesession($session);
+ IkiWiki::cgi_signin($q, $session);
+ exit;
+ }
+ } elsif ($session->param('do') eq 'justgoback') {
+ debug("jl justgoback running.");
+ if (! defined $session->param("name")) {
+ debug("Justlogin redir running.");
+ my $page=IkiWiki::possibly_foolish_untaint($q->param('postsignin'));
+ $session->clear("postsignin");
+ $session->clear("do");
+ IkiWiki::cgi_savesession($session);
+ IkiWiki::redirect($q, $page);
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+ sub auth ($$) {
+ # While this hook is not currently used, it needs to exist
+ # so ikiwiki knows that the wiki supports logins, and will
+ # enable the Preferences page.
+ }

The third patch, ‘inline: allow assigning an id to postform/feedlink’,
does just that. I don't currently use it, but it can be particularly
useful in the postform case for example for scriptable management of

The inline plugin is also updated (in a separate patch) to use `urlto()`
rather than hand-coding the feed urls. You might want to keep this
change even if you discard the urlto patch.
