Question

I'm new to TWiki, but am a very experienced perl programmer and system admin.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to accomplish one of two goals. Given a general answer (use X plugin or Y feature) I can probably figure the rest out from there.

I've started my Twiki in order to help manage a D&D campaign. I would like to have both public (for the players) and Private (for the DM) areas in a single topic.

Failing that I would like to be able add a WikiWord to a DMOnly topic.

There are likely many solutions to this, but I'm not familiar enough with TWiki to see what it is.

Answer

Not sure I understand the question but here are some clues.

• Create a new group in your TWikiGroups
• Protect the private pages to that group using Set ALLOWTOPICVIEW = Main.MyPrivateGroup
• In a public page, include the private page
• Only people in the group can see the included page

You also could show content conditionally using the SpreadSheetPlugin or ConditionalPlugin.
