What to display when showing the user that last edited a page. Used in page footer and recent changes pages.

• loginname User's login name
• username User's full name
• username_link User's full name as interwiki user link develonly
• email E-mail address (will be obfuscated as per mailguard)
• email_link E-mail address as a mailto: link (obfuscated)

• Type: String
• Default: loginname

Please note that other settings than default may give performance penalties in combination with authentication plugins like authAD plugin.

develonly

Default the username_link option uses the user interwiki link. This interwiki link refers to :user:<loginname>. See Configuring interwiki shortcuts for how to modify this link target.

In inc/template.php, search for the function tpl_pageinfo($ret=false) . Under that look for the following code.

   if($INFO['editor']){
     $out .= ' '.$lang['by'].' ';
     $out .= editorinfo($INFO['editor']);
   }else{
     $out .= ' ('.$lang['external_edit'].')';
   }

Delete or comment it out by adding the PHP comment code /* */ shown below

 /*    if($INFO['editor']){
         $out .= ' '.$lang['by'].' ';
         $out .= editorinfo($INFO['editor']);
       }else{
         $out .= ' ('.$lang['external_edit'].')';
       } */

If successful, the name or IP address of the poster will not show at the bottom of the page.

An alternative, which avoids altering the core Dokuwiki files, is to make your change in main.php. In main.php, you will find the following PHP code:

  <?php tpl_pageinfo() ?>

Replace it with:

  <?php echo preg_replace("/by.*/", "", tpl_pageinfo(true)) ?>

A drawback to this technique is that it will have to be repeated each time the template is updated.
