Error: Kwiki::Users::Remote is not a plugin class

[Keith A. Carangelo]

Hello,
I'm new to Kwiki, but it looks very promising and I'd like to help in some
way.

Right now, I'm trying to get the Kwiki::Users::Remote plugin to work, but
I get "Error: Kwiki::Users::Remote is not a plugin class."

I think this is because Kwiki::Users::Remote is a descendant of
Kwiki::Users,
but Kwiki::Users isn't a plugin. Is there an easy way around this?

Thanks,
Keith

Keith,

In a the better Kwiki World of the Future, all classes are plugins.

But for now, some of the classes are *core* classes.

Luckily it's equally trivial to switch out a core module as it is for a
plugin. You just do it differently. Just add this line to config.yaml:

users_class: Kwiki::Users::Remote

Every class, core or plugin has a class type. And there can only be one
class of any particular type at a time. That's how Kwiki works.

These are the classes that are currently core:

* cgi
* command
* cookie
* css
* formatter
* headers
* hooks
* javascript
* pages
* paths
* preferences
* registry
* template
* users

This is easy to see in:
