Hi all! I'm still trying to get this to work. Patrick provided me some useful help but I couldn't get the implementation to work on my site.
How about a different approach: Each time I save a wiki page to a file, I want to prepend a text string to it. Then when I edit the file, I want to pull that text string out. For example: let's prepend the following to every page at the beginning of the text: <div id="pre">Page updated by $author</div> Except I want to store the value of the variable, not the variable so when I save the page the text in the file in the wiki.d directory reads like this test file: text=<div id="pre">Page updated by Josh</div>%0a%0ahello there time=1189370430 author:1189370430=Josh Now, when Jim comes along and edits the page, it pulls the preceding text out so the edit field looks like: hello there But when Jim saves, the text is changed to: text=<div id="pre">Page updated by Jim</div>%0a%0ahello there people time=1189370430 author:1189370430=Jim This is just an example - I am not actually trying to prepend the author information...I know there are better/other ways to do that. I'm thinking of a function or functions that works similar to the edittitle recipe that strips the (:title:) from the wiki text when you edit and save. I need to watch out for special conditions such as when that text string isn't present Does this make any more sense? Anyone have any ideas or some thoughts on a starting point? You assistance is always appreciated! -Josh Miller Gouverneur _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
