Thank you very much Thomas for sharing this Plugin with the
TWikiCommunity!
How about measuring and documenting the
PluginBenchmarks numbers?
I created the Dev and Appraisal topics, and tagged the Plugin topic so that people can find it more easily.

I just tried the plugin.
The basic function is very useful for PHB Sign-off (Pointy Haired Boss sign-off).
But I cannot make the SIGNATUREFORMAT work in the topic itself.
I tried both
* Set SIGNATUREFORMAT = blabla
and
* Set SIGNATUREPLUGIN_SIGNATUREFORMAT = blabla
and it is ignored. It works only when I set it in the plugin topic.

Nice acronym, PHB sign-off

Ken, personally I think there is a defect in the way preferences are handled, but I need to go back to Cairo to double check... Anyway, the way it works is this:
- You need to use
SIGNATUREPLUGIN_SIGNATUREFORMAT
- You must not have such setting in the plugin topic, as this always overrides the local topic. Seems completely wrong but that is the doco.

On the format question above, in TWiki 4.1 the precedence of preferences will be fixed.
In the meantime, uploaded a version which allows signature specific formats, as well as limiting signatures to certain persons or groups, on a per signature basis.

I am finding that when one clicks on the signature button, it erases all whatever
TWikiForm was attached to the topic along with other metadata was stored at the end of the topic.

Note that in TWiki 4.1.2 this plugin is more or less obsolete because you can implement the same feature with
CommentPlugin which was extended to have the
remove
option. You will have much more flexibility with this.

Ah, of course! Wonderful. Always good to be able to drop a plugin. Thanks Kenneth!

Is this right? How can I restrict multiple %COMMENT% on a page, each to specific users?

It does not look like this plugin is working with 4.2, installer fails with Can't locate object method "findUser" via package "TWiki::Users" at
SignaturePlugin_installer.pl line 559,
line 1.
And when untarring by hand the "sign" function throws and error:
Can't locate object method "new" via package "TWiki::Attrs" at /usr/HTTPServer/htdocs/twiki/lib/TWiki/Plugins/SignaturePlugin/Signature.pm line 56
or
Can't locate object method "login" via package "oschakenbos" (perhaps you forgot to load "oschakenbos"?) at /usr/HTTPServer/htdocs/twiki/lib/TWiki/Plugins/SignaturePlugin/Signature.pm line 101.

This plugin is not obsolete. It provides a simple way for a specified person to sign off, and prevents any other person from signing off. Very handy in workflow.
Appears to have been broken by the removal of TWiki::Users in 4.2. Hard to understand why such a basic API change occurred in a dot release.
-- IsaacRabinovitch - 27 Oct 2008
TWiki::User was never part of an official API. The one and only API exposed to the world (incl. extensions) is TWiki::Func. Any other part of TWiki may change at any time. With 4.2 SvenDowideit refurnished the whole user/authentication subsystem.
