README.html pluginmodel

This directory contains a simple example of a Plugin Model class which allows
Roller templates to access the user-object representing the currently 
authenticated user using "$authenticated.user".

To build the example, simply run the provided Ant buil.xml file.

To use the example in Roller do these steps:

1) Copy the jar dist/authusermodel.jar to the Roller WEB-INF/lib directory

2) Override the Roller model properties to add the name of the new model class
   to the list of models used by Roller's page, search and preview Servlets.
   
   That means you'll have to add the following to your roller-custom.properties
   file:
