Question: How can I have a login form take me back to the page I started from?

Answer: If you use the Login Form Tag, you can set a return parameter. In this case, you can return to the segment_1/segment_2/segment_3 location.

{exp:member:login_form return="{segment_1}/{segment_2}/{segment_3}"}

Answer: In your control panel, open the PHP info page.

Control Panel Home > Admin > Utilities > PHP Info

Search for the following: document_root or doc_root

rootdoc.jpg

Take the value stored there and add your system directory name to it.

Replace ./system in the path.php with:

/dir1/sitename/public_html/system/

Where dir1 and sitename are the actual values you found when viewing the PHPInfo page.

You can use this in your subdomain versions of path.php.

Answer: You can do this with a bit of query magic:

SELECT distinct a.revision_author as author, b.username
as username, b.screen_name as wiki_screen_name
FROM exp_wiki_revisions a, exp_members b 
where a.revision_author = b.member_id

Answer: Here’s one method:

{if member_group=='1'}
<p><a href="/admin.php?C=edit&M=edit_entry&weblog;_id={weblog_id}
&entry;_id={entry_id}" target=_blank>Edit This</a></p>
{/if}

NOTE: This relies on you having uploaded admin.php to your root directory.

If you are using an add-on domain, copy the admin.php to the same folder your path.php and index.php are in.

If you want to use this solution on your primary domain, copy the admin.php file from the system/utilities directory into you root EE directory. (The same place you have your path.php file.)

Additional note: The wiki adds a ; before _id - remove the ; before using.
