TWiki Session Plugin

We have installed the TWiki SessionPlugin.

TWiki has a known bug that causes you to appear to be TWikiGuest when viewing pages (unauthenticated viewing). This plugin addresses that.

The SessionPlugin encapsulates all "logon memory" within the session. Once a user authenticates, their session contains their username and will use that username on all pages regardless of if they are authenticated pages or non-authenticated pages. This is a major improvement over the other mechanisms as it is nearly entirely transparent.

Movable Type Plugins: SCode and StatWatch

I have installed two new MT plugins: SCode (CAPTCHAS support) and StatWatch.

StatWatch:

Enable:
Insert the <$MTStats$> tag into a blog template (I put it into my Main Index template), then republish.

View Stats: mt/plugins/statwatch/statwatch.cgi

More Info: http://www.raquo.net/statwatch

SCode

Enable:

1. Navigate to your weblog's Settings.
2. Click the Plugins tab on the tab bar at the top.
3. Find the SCode entry and click Show Settings
4. Check the box if you would like to enable SCode on this blog.
5. You will need to add the CAPTCHA to your all comment forms. For ease, you can use which will generate HTML for the image and inputs. If you want more control, you can use and to generate the image as well as the inputs

Notes:

1. I have not personally tried this, i.e. I have not enabled it (yet) for my wweblog. YMMV...

2. System settings are configured to "junk" comments that input the CAPTCHA incorrectly (the other choice was 'reject"). "Junk" puts them into a "Junk" area in your weblog management section; you can retrieve things from the Junk area.
