Thanks, I am wondering, does it make a difference if I create a new
database to use alongside the wikidb that contains pointers to tables
in the wikidb? For example, the new db could contain tables that
associate userIDs with their status as teachers/students and tables
that associate teachers and students with courses, etc.
I was thinking that this would make it more modular--easier to upgrade
the wiki later with the least possible revision to my new code?? Is
there any drawback to using two separate databases that I'm not
foreseeing? I'm realtively new to this. :-)

Hi, all, I'm trying to create a new kind of
special page; if you have any
php that you'd be happy to share with a struggling neophyte to help me learn
the ropes please contact me! What I'm actually trying to do is create a new
user type (teacher) who will have a special page that lists all his/her
students, who will also be users...
While I am not working, I (and the rest of this list) can try to help
you with specific issues.
Selecting where students are assigned (teacher-wise) requires your own
table (or modification to user), and then likely modifying the User
object (User.php) so that it has methods for listing teachers and/or
students (or creating a new class to handle it).
If you have specific issues, please share and be specific.
