+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 needs to expose a link to a little json explaining the type of user and login status.
+
+* it should expose a link that logs the person out and returns to the calling page, or at least the home page.
+
+Then there would need to be a little javascript to use these links appropriately. I have little javascript experience but I know that can be done. I am less sure if it is possible to add this functionality to a plugin so I'll start with that. If no one objects I will continue to post here if I make progress. If anyone has any suggestions on how to modify my approach to code it in an easier way I'd appreciate the input. [[justint]]

+Hi,
+
+I'm trying to setup a development environment to hack on the comments plugin and I'm having problems getting my Ikiwiki CGI to use my git checkout as the libdir and templatedir instead of the system one.
+
+My <tt>.setup</tt> contains:
+
+ srcdir => '/home/francois/wiki/testblog',
+ destdir => '/var/www/testblog',
+ url => 'http://localhost/testblog',
+ cgiurl => 'http://localhost/testblog/ikiwiki.cgi',
+ cgi_wrapper => '/var/www/testblog/ikiwiki.cgi',
+ templatedir => '/home/francois/devel/remote/ikiwiki/templates',
+ underlaydir => '/home/francois/devel/remote/ikiwiki/doc',
+ libdir => '/home/francois/devel/remote/ikiwiki',
+ ENV => {},
+ git_wrapper => '/home/francois/wiki/testblog.git/hooks/post-update',
+
+Now, if I modify <tt>~/devel/remote/ikiwiki/templates/comment.tmpl</tt>, my changes don't appear when I add a comment to a blog post. On the other hand, if I hack <tt>/usr/share/ikiwiki/templates/comment.tmpl</tt> and cause the page to be rebuilt by adding a new comment then that does have an effect.
+
+The same is true for <tt>~/devel/remote/ikiwiki/Ikiwiki/Plugin/comments.pm</tt> (doesn't appear to be used) and <tt>/usr/share/perl5/Ikiwiki/Plugin/comments.pm</tt> (my hacks affect pages as they are recompiled).
+
+I must be missing something obvious, but the [[ikiwiki development environment tips]] didn't help me...
+
+Cheers,
+

This is possible because github now supports
[github pages](http://github.com/blog/272-github-pages).

unlikely that a small wiki or blog will outgrow this, but we are keeping
two copies of the website in git (source and the compiled site), and all
historical versions too. So it could happen. If it does, you can pay github
