Question

Hi,

I want to write a perl script for server administration. The thing is, I would like to query the WikiName within that script (if the user has logged in). The script is situated on the same server, so how is it possible to get the WikiName?

Thanks Alex

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

you could either use TWiki and use the official TWikiFuncDotPm calls, or you could parse data/Main/TWikiUsers.txt to map from login name to WikiName. The former one is more portable.

The snippet of code:

use TWiki;
$TWiki::Plugins::SESSION = new TWiki();
print TWiki::Func::getSkin(),"\n";

works indeed! Thank you Peter and Will for your fast answer.
