username in wiki? Posted by Thomas Despoix 15 Nov 2007 13:36 GMT-0000 posts: 54 Hi there, Is there a way to use the username value, or the current date, page name, etc., as dynamic data in wiki syntax? There actually are dynamic variable and dynamic content features but I'm quite sure they won't tackle my needs...

I don't think you can do this with wiki syntax directly, but you should be able to create a wiki plugin that can do this. You just need to grab the $user variable and then display it.

I feared you'd answer that. 😉 That's another story then. I'll try to build the plugin when I get extra time. It doesn't look that complicated, though. Cheers,
