+I'm new to ikiwiki and I'm trying to install it and set it up. I've read the documentation but I still don't understand how access to the repository works. We want ikiwiki to run on one machine but we want the repository to be on a separate machine running svn. How can I configure ikiwiki to access the repository on the remote machine? And how is authentication on the remote host handled in ikiwiki? Does there have to be a one-to-one correspondence between account names (and passwords) on the ikiwiki machine and the accounts on the svn machine? Thanks,

+I'm trying to create a [[!iki plugins/template desc=template]] which references variables from the [[!iki plugins/meta desc=meta]] plugin, but either it's not supported or I'm doing something wrong. This is what my template looks like:
+
+ <div class="attributionbox">
+ <p><b>Written by:</b> <a href="<TMPL_VAR AUTHORURL>"><TMPL_VAR AUTHOR></a></p>
+ <p><TMPL_VAR text></b></p>
+ </div>
+
+The template is working because I get the content, but all the places where I reference meta variables are blank. Is this supposed to work or am I trying to do something unsupported? Many thanks for any pointers.
+
+Cheers,

+This isn't supported, because [[ikiwiki/directive/template]] templates
+don't run `pagetemplate` hooks (which is how information gets from
+[[ikiwiki/directive/meta]] into, for instance, `page.tmpl`). The only
+inputs to the `HTML::Template` are the parameters passed to the
+directive, plus the `raw_`-prefixed versions of those, plus the extra
+parameters passed to every `preprocess` hook (currently `page`, `destpage`
+and `preview`).
+
+I think having `pagetemplate` hooks run for this sort of template
+by default would be rather astonishing, but perhaps some sort of
+opt-in while defining the template would be reasonable? One problem
+with that is that the templates used by [[ikiwiki/directive/template]]
+are just wiki pages, and don't really have any special syntax support.

+Thanks for the quick response! I'm trying to figure out some way that I can reference meta variables inside of a page. Specifically I'm trying to create an attribution box which lists all of the information I have about who wrote the page, where the original can be found etc. I can just pass the values to the template, but it would be really nice not have to put this information in for the meta plugin and my attribution box!
+
+The changes you suggest sound wonderful but are beyond my abilities right row. Any ideas how I might accomplish this in the mean time?
