dokufan66 I currently have scripts to backup my wiki and sync the backups to another server via ftp/sftp/scp. I can put the current backup status on my start page using PHP or HTML to insert any images that is dynamically created by a PHP script (GD is fun to use). For example, a Red X, an Orange ? or a Green Checkmark. I would like the custom content to only display for the administrator. One option would be to update the data/cache/message.txt file every hour. Are there any other ideas where to put information on every page that is only included if the logged in user is an administrator? Thanks.
taggic Ther coming two ideas into my mind. 1. create a group sidebar for admin and store the info there 2. store the info on a page where only admin have permission and use the include plugin wherever you want (if that are only a few pages) include plugin works jointly with ACL
