as you'd expect, with the second and third words italicized and green.
Then I took away the line %define=note font-style=italic color=green%
and put that in the wikigroup's GroupHeader, and the Note test note
still displayed as expected.
Next I deleted the group's GroupHeader page and put the line
%define=note font-style=italic color=green% in the Site.Header (my
skin's SiteHeader page). Now the Note test note line is no longer
formatted.
I finally tried adding %define=note font-style=italic color=green% to
a separate page Site.OverPage that I have displayed above the
Site.Header -- coded in the skin's .tmpl file as
div id=outsidetop
!--wiki:Site.OverPage--
/div
but the Note test note line still dispays unformatted.

work, rules like
(:if expr ! exists {*$Group}.SideMenu ! exists {*$Group}.SideBar

Now unfortunately, if after 4 months I come back and forgot which
passwords I distributed, I cannot determine this anymore. All I see is
@readers *** *** *** ***.
Would there be any way to find out in a way as convenient as possible,
which passwords have been set for which page?
No, the page does not store the real passwords, but one-way encoded hashes --
it can verify that the user knows the real password, but cannot decode back
the password from the hash.
It's a security measure, to prevent an attacker who managed to get the disk
files to learn your real passwords.
In particular, the problem arises when I want to distribute one more
password but maybe forget one of the older ones: it then becomes
unusable which I did not want to achieve.
If you disable a password because you don't remember it, the people who use it
will call you, and you can fix it at that time. You can leave them a message
not to panic, on your page [[Site.AuthForm]], it will appear on the login
form.
Maybe something like what I do would help you.
To avoid this problem, and to make changing passwords easier, I often
add a page named Access to a restricted wiki-group. The exact rules,
privileges and wording of the page may vary depending on the
circumstances, but I usually edit-protect with @lock, so only an admin
can edit it, and if the group has multiple read-passwords, I may
read-protect the Access page with just the one that I consider
highest-ranking. I'll have on it:
The read password(s) for this page-group is/are
-'''pswd1 pswd2'''
The edit and upload password(s) for this page-group is/are
-'''pswd1 pswd2'''
To change passwords for the page-group, a user must be logged in with
the site's admin password.
(:if auth admin:)
# edit this page and modify either or both of the lists above (the
list must be a space-separated series of one-word passwords)
# save the edit
# select (highlight) the new list and copy it
# go to [[{$Group}.GroupAttributes?action=attr]] and paste the list
into the form field for the read, edit or upload attribute, as
appropriate
**note that edit-access does 'not' automatically confer read-
or upload-access -- each attribute must be modified individually

With $EnableDirectDownload disabled, downloading an attachment requires 'read' permissions on the page to which the upload is attached. However, in the default case uploads are kept in per-group directories, which means that the same file is accessible from every page in a group. Previously, and without $EnableUploadGroupAuth, it would be possible that a page in a group has more lax read permissions than other pages, and an attachment apparently belonging to a restricted page would be accessible via this page. With $EnableUploadGroupAuth enabled, the download permissions are always checked instead from the GroupAttributes page, which is common to all files in the group. So, then, would there be any reason to set $EnableUploadGroupAuth = 1 without also setting $EnableDirectDownload=0?

[pmwiki-users] Restore little feature lost w 2.2.5?
I've been hanging with 2.1.26 until now, because I knew the relative variables were going to require a whole lot of tweaking of fancy-pants wiki-code I've stuck all over the place. I'm now in the middle of updating a test site, and that aspect of things is going as expected -- I'm getting there. I knew changes would also show up in unexpected places (I've been expecting the unexpected), and so far have been able to work out what's going on with those. Here's one that I can't figure out, though: I had my sites set up so that action=edit would always display the page preview below the EditQuickReference. This was accomplished by having this in local\config.php: ## Show preview below all edits if ($action == 'edit') $_POST['preview'] = 1; Now edit mode no longer displays the preview until I hit the preview button (as in the default PmWiki configuration). What change can I make to restore this lost functionality? Thanks! ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users

Maintaining a wiki farm in such an environment is fairly easy to do, and the individual accounts are able to manage their own mail settings, mailing lists, and other items through the cpanel interface. It works very well. That said, I've never actually done any invoicing or bookkeeping for these accounts, as I host them as a donation/courtesy to various organizations I'm involved with or feel like supporting. In 2006 I also wrote a longish message on this subject on another list [1], and what I wrote there continues to be true today -- it's important to find a service provider where their typical client fits your profile, because their support systems are then tuned to meeting your needs most effectively. For many years I would be at providers where the issues I had were not the common ones for the provider, and I had many frustrations and delays as a result. [1] http://www.ntlug.org/pipermail/discuss/Week-of-Mon-20060828/026653.html To answer some of the specifics of your message: Do reseller accounts typically include Virtual Private Server service, or not? If not, that is something I should also look for, right? VPS and reseller accounts can be either separate or combined -- i.e., one can have a VPS-only, reseller only, or VPS+reseller. I have the latter. I decided to go with VPS because I wanted better ability to troubleshoot and tune things myself without having to go through support (and would probably choose this even if I didn't already know how to do that because I can always learn). In either case, I would need the host to provide support for hardware and LAMP system stuff, as I would have no clue how to administer my own environment. How do I ask for this - what's the correct terminology? This is normally provided for you as part of any VPS or reseller package -- the provider takes care of the basic operating system and software updates, you're responsible only for any customizations you perform. AND I'd ideally like to be able to manage the client sites as fields in a wiki farm, so somehow I'd like to be able to have the PmWiki engine installed on a parent account that the client fields would take orders from. Is this possible, in a reseller environment? It's certainly possible, but in this case you probably want to be sure to get a virtual private server. With a reseller-only account you might not have sufficient access to be able to easily make the wikifarm installation available to your clients -- having a VPS means you almost certainly can do it. Another reason to favor having a VPS is that with reseller-only accounts there may be other resellers' clients sharing the server (virtual or otherwise) with your clients. This can make things a bit more complicated if you ever want to upgrade your service level with a provider, or migrate to another provider. Also, having your own VPS means you don't have to worry about other resellers' clients being able to (accidentally or maliciously) access your clients' data. If you decide to go with a VPS+reseller combination similar to what I have with pmwiki.org, I highly recommend PowerVPS.com . I've had very good experience with them, both in terms of long-term stability and in the responsiveness/quality of their support teams. Unlike many providers, they _only_ offer VPS and dedicated hosting packages, and not individual site accounts. The advantage of this (and the primary advantage I was looking for) is that my support questions aren't buried in a flood of How do I change my password? and What is a domain? types of questions that come from the people buying smaller packages available from other providers. The potential disadvantage is that I don't know how much hand-holding they're able to provide for those types of questions if you're likely to have them. However, it appears to me that the web interfaces they provide are such that even someone with limited LAMP experience would be able to function well in their vps. Hope this helps; if I can provide any more details or answer other questions I'll be glad to do so. Pm Wow, that's great, and makes all kinds of sense. I'm looking at and impressed with PowerVPS, and right away see that I would need to choose between cpanel and plesk. I have the impression that cpanel is a little friendlier to a less-knowledgeable user. Is that correct, do you think?

Re: [pmwiki-users] Feature request - selecting between multiple templates for new pages
On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 9:41 AM, Steven Benmosh word...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, Here is a feature that will help me with my web site (I will explain below why), and I wonder if it is already implemented or should be added to a feature list for the future. The feature: I would like to be able to choose between several (existing) templates when I create a new page in my wiki. Explanation: I started my wiki (link below) with the idea of documenting gps tracks and points of interest in Costa Rica. I created groups based on context. Tracks include bus routes, hikes and car rides. Points of interest are broken up into restaurants, sights, hotels, stores and POI which includes everything else (cemeteries, city parks, etc.) Each group has its own template page. Now I am finding that I am adding data from other locations - the US, Nicaragua, Panama, Israel, Europe - all grouped together under a single group 'Misc.' I have no way of having different templates based on the type of point in these countries, except to create a separate wiki for each one. So what I do right now is add the content under the main wiki, than manually copy the page to the Misc. group. I also have a user-edited group, but because it can only have one template, I limit it to points of interest. What I would like to have multiple templates, and be able to choose when I create a new page which one to use. This way, I can easily regroup the pages based on countries, without losing the ability to match the template to the page content.

[pmwiki-users] Flickr, Youtube, etc.
I'd like to allow users of my sites to embed Flickr slideshows and Youtube videos. I've been doing this by enabling the requisite hmtl code for individual, edit-protected pages, but now and then someone wants these capabilities enabled globally on a site for which edit-access has or will be broadly conferred. I'm uncomfortable enabling the html in such cases. I find some recipe add-ins on http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/Flash that ought to provide the solution, but those addins are fragmented. Could some php guru visit the various files in the section entitled YouTube, Flickr Video, Google Video, and Vimeo (swf-sites.php, swf-sites2.php, youtube2.php etc.), and see if they can be combined? ALSO, can someone tell if swf-sites.php or swf-sites2.php should enable a flickr slide-show, or only flickr video? I CAN'T be alone in needing this kind of thing -- the future is in this ability to display widgets and gadgets, but we need a way to do it safely. If I can do any of the work of organizing information to make this comparison/combining work easier for a PHP do-er, I'd be happy to try to help; as it is, I can only apologize for pointing out a problem with no ability to offer assistance.

[pmwiki-users] Re-thinking Intro to markup pages
On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 3:04 PM, john.ran...@affinity.co.nz wrote: FWIW, my view is that PmWiki's markup set now presents a very high barrier to entry for new users, especially those who are new to wiki markup. I do not have a good answer to this and your posts are convincing me that the pages in question are not fit for their intended purpose. Let me suggest an alternative for discussion. We now have the Creole markup standard which gives a core markup set that every wiki ought to offer as a minimum. AFAIK, the Creole set was a very carefully chosen balance between power and simplicity. My proposal is that an IntroductionToPmWIkiMarkup page presents PmWiki's markup rules for the Creole markup functions, in the order they are described in the Creole standard. See http://www.wikicreole.org/ For avoidance of doubt: the Introduction page would contain *only* the Creole markup set, no matter how much we might want to include just one or two more features. I would be very happy to see the PmWiki documentation factored to use the Creole set as an introduction, with branches to more advanced markup features. This does not require PmWiki to adopt the Creole standard, just use the Creole thinking. I think I would also refactor EditQuickReference to present only the Creole markup set, with links to other markup features. Or at least separate the Creole set from anything else that may be on the quick reference page. JR As a non-programming user who trains and supports other non-programming users, I like John's thinking here. For what that's worth. I've been thinking about looking at, with an eye to enabling, the creole recipe if it looks like it's stable, and then training new users to that -- this way at least whatever I taught them would be supported elsewhere as well, making them more confident that they're learning useful rules. What's more, I'm hoping that we'll have a wysiwyg interface for the creole set, some day. SO having the introductory material begin with the creole set (even if they aren't the creole rules) would be a great place to start my trainees. ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users

[pmwiki-users] Hosting Qs: reseller, wikifarm
Hey: I'd like to figure out what features to look for in a host. Recommendations of specific hosts would be terrific, but for a more general, long-term approach it would be helpful to have lists of must-haves, nice-to-haves, and mustn't-haves (lists that include basic stuff that might seem obvious to many). I'd like to set up a new hosting account for myself and my clients, so a reseller account. I'd like it to have features for invoicing clients for hosting and wiki support that I provide, while allowing clients to administer their own email (and possibly other features like the plug-ins many hosts provide). Any suggestions for features to watch (out) for, there? Do reseller accounts typically include Virtual Private Server service, or not? If not, that is something I should also look for, right? In either case, I would need the host to provide support for hardware and LAMP system stuff, as I would have no clue how to administer my own environment. How do I ask for this - what's the correct terminology? AND I'd ideally like to be able to manage the client sites as fields in a wiki farm, so somehow I'd like to be able to have the PmWiki engine installed on a parent account that the client fields would take orders from. Is this possible, in a reseller environment? I'll add whatever comes out of this (if anything does) to a page on PmWiki.org. Tegan Dowling http://twitter.com/wikignome The future's here already.

I agree with Sandy's suggestion about keeping the profile pages separate from auth information, which requires a greater control. I think that Pmwiki should come with an entire authentication module/package (AuthUser + htpasswd Form + etc.) which would be disabled by default. When enabled, it must allow for self-authentication, with an optional email moderator and wait, as suggested by Sandy. It would be great to have a Userid, passwd and an email address associated with each user account so that if required, it would be possible to use authgroups to manage email notifications. This, in my opinion, would be an ideal setup. I'm a friendly friend of this scheme, as Sandy and Sameer have sketched it. I'd use it.

Patrick,
We don't use $Group.HomePage (except in Main). For some groups we
have $Group.$Group, and for others $Group.Index.
Now it would be easy to add to the conditional, and of course this is

Re: [pmwiki-users] homepage for users

I don't want the Executive group changing any pages by the IT group, for example. Anyway, I have figured out permissions at least on a user basis and I want to make it so certain users or groups of users get a different homepage when they enter the wiki. Are you familiar with the syntax for conditional stuff? You might have something on Main/HomePage that says, in essence, If logged in w the rights to view (or edit) Group1.TestPage1 Then (:redirect Group1.HomePage:) Else if logged in w the rights to view (or edit) Group2.TestPage2 Else ... Might that work? You could even suppress the standard redirection messages. OR if there's a problem w having multiple redirections on one page, then maybe you could do something similar, but under tested conditions, (:include Group1.HomePage:) Is it possible for a certain user to have a homepage that is not the default homepage? If so, how can I make this work for a few different groups of users? One other question too. I am, for some reason, needing to log in twice to read pages on the wiki. When I first access the wiki, I need to login, it authenticates through LDAP and I'm good….for viewing the homepage….then, when I click another page, I need to log in again or I can't view it. This is even true if I click on the link to the homepage I am presently viewing! That's weird. I'm sure it's a simple thing but does anyone know why I might need to authenticate twice?

It doesn't. Read and edit permissions are set separately, and edit
rights do not confer read rights, any more than read rights confer
edit rights.
If, in your config.php file, you have
$DefaultPasswords['edit'] = crypt('userpasswordhere');
Then in any wikigroup named, for example, ProtectedGroup, you need to
use ProtectedGroup.GroupAttributes?action=attr to:
Set new read password = userpasswordhere
OR use ProtectedGroup.GroupAttributes?action=attr to:
Set new read password = specialgrouppass userpasswordhere
Set new edit password = specialgrouppass userpasswordhere
(create a space-separated list of passwords for each attribute)
You cannot use ProtectedGroup.GroupAttributes?action=attr to:
Set new read password = @_site_edit
That doesn't work. In discussion in this list-serv in 2006, PM said
that he never intended @_site_edit to be used on

Re: [pmwiki-users] login visible, not edit etc
James: If no one else answers you tomorrow, I'll take a shot at it. There are at least a couple of ways to do what you're asking about, and my own way is so thoroughly customized that while I do understand the principles, some of the details are unfamiliar -- so I'm hoping that someone more familiar with the default skin and its components will be able to answer you easily. But, again, if none of them does, I'll dig around enough to put something together It really isn't hard, and it really is kind of cool - this way, a site doesn't appear to be a wiki until one has logged in. Most of the sites I've done have used this -- they're not proper wikis at all. I'm not at all ashamed of using this fabulous tool to do something it wasn't designed for, and neither should you be. AND of course, every time I provide a small business or non-profit with an easy-to-update website, I feel as if I've opened the door, just a crack, to the wiki way, and dare to hope someone in the org. will start using it to do what it was designed for (over three dozen wikis into it, none of them has, but one lives in hope).

Optional alternatives/enhancements:
__Control which pages in each group are listed__
You could tag each desired page with a hidden term that will never
otherwise appear, like (:comment dosidelist:)
and then your pagelist could be (:pagelist fmt=#explgroup dosidelist:)
OR tag each page that you *don't* want listed with a hidden term, and
exclude those: (:comment donotsidelist:) and (:pagelist fmt=#explgroup
-donotsidelist:)
OR create a custom list in local\config.php, and specify that in your pagelist:
I have this in all of my config.php files:
$SearchPatterns['forum'][] =
'!\.(All)?Recent(Changes|Uploads|Comments)$!';
$SearchPatterns['forum'][] =
'!\.Group(Print)?(Header|Footer|Attributes|Path)$!';
$SearchPatterns['forum'][] =
'!\.(Left|Right|Side|Quick)(Bar|Menu|Note|Notes|Tools)$!';
$SearchPatterns['forum'][] = '!\.Template$!';
$SearchPatterns['forum'][] = '!\.HomePage$!';
This prevents the hardware pages of a wikigroup from being listed --
as would be appropriate if the group were a forum, and each page a
topic -- so
(:pagelist fmt=#explgroup list=forum:) would exclude the group's
RecentChanges, RecentUploads, RecentComments, GroupHeader,
GroupFooter, GroupAttributes, GroupPath, LeftBar (or RightBar or
SideBar or QuickBar), Left(or Right, Side, Quick)Menu, LeftNote,
LeftNotes, LeftTools, Template, or HomePage.
You could even have a different list used, depending on the
authorization level of the viewer:
(:if auth admin:)(:pagelist fmt=#explgroup list=all:)(:if ! auth
admin:)(:pagelist fmt=#explgroup list=forum:)
__Minor alternative__
[[#explgroup]]
(:template first {=$Group}:)
* [[{=$Group}/]]
(:template each:)
(:if equal {$Group} {=$Group}:)
** [[{=$Group}/{=$Titlespaced}]]
(:if:)
[[#explgroupend]]
The difference is that I used ** [[{=$Group}/{=$Titlespaced}}]], as
I'd rather see page titles on that sidebar than page names.

Many of the questions there have had no response from anyone at all. FWIW, here's the origin and purpose of the Questions page: The Questions page was originally created as sort of an infrequently-asked questions page during a documentation cleanup effort that happened prior to a major release of PmWiki. At the time the pages of the PmWiki group, the FAQ page in particular, had a lot of questions that didn't belong wherever they were. Most of the questions moved to the page were previously unnoticed and unanswered. I agree that the Questions page is largely being ignored -- except by a few stand-up folks like Tegan Downling (Thanks!) -- but removing the Questions page will not necessarily reduce the number of unanswered questions on pmwiki.org. Actually, I was just recommending that reference to it be removed from the how to get help or how to report a bug documentation, NOT that the page be removed from the wiki. It does serve a purpose (some new-comers to PmWiki might be reluctant to join the list, and shouldn't have to join just to get help), but I wish that we, as a community, could severally do a better job of fielding those questions, since as things are, those same new-comers are seeing the designated where to go on the site for help page full of un-replied-to cries for help. ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
