Yes. It's also possible to configure a site to automatically download that page once per day and use it. > The page on blocklists tells me there are two formats (using /\) > yet the page Site.Blocklist is just a list of blocked words. No sign of > any forward or backward slashes. One format is a simple word format -- that's what you tend to see on pmwiki.org. The other format is a regular expression format, which is denoted by using slashes. Regular expressions allow patterns, checking for word boundaries, etc. > 2. If I do have to add slashes, where do I put them? The example 'block: > /\.uni\.ch/' is a bad one because there's a .ch involved here, just to > complicate simple brains like mine! How would you, for example, block the > word viagra - do you just enter 'block:viagra'. Yes, entering "block:viagra" will work, in that it will block any post containing the string "viagra". But be careful, because something like "block:cialis" will end up blocking normal words like "specialist". > If so, why can I still enter this word in a page entry? > I've created my own Site.Blocklist page and added a list of blocked words. > I have added to my config file the lines: > > $EnableBlocklist = 1; > $EnableWhyBlocked = 1; > > Is there something I'm missing? I don't see anything you're missing. Is there a url we could look at? What version of PmWiki are you running?
