This patch makes it possible to put all user related topics on a separate TWiki web by adding a userWebname variable in TWiki.cfg. This variable can be accessed on TWiki Topics by using %USERWEB%.
The Main Patch provided the changes needed for the bin/, lib/, and templates/ directory.
This patch provides most of the necessary changes to the data/ directory to support changing the userWebname to something other than Main. You will still need to move all the user related topics into the new web. Due to permission problems applying this patch may be a pain, however.
This patch moves all the user related topics into the User web and will create new user pages in the User web. This patch will leave a bunch of empty files in Main which will need to be removed. GNU Patch has as '-E' option to do this for you, I don't know about other version of Patch. Once again applying this patch may be a pain. Here is a tarbar of the data directory which may be easier to use. After you apply the patch or unpack the tarbar in the appreciate place you will need to change the value of userWebname in TWiki.cfg to "User". I don't have a publicly accessible TWiki available with the user patch applied at the moment but here is the WebHome topic for the User topic. Don't expect any of the links to work.
Please let me know if you use it. I can be reached at kevin twiki at atkinson dhs org.
