I use linux and command lines, but I suspect most of us who do wouldn't bother with a video anyway. ;-)
Along the lines of documentation, I think it would be great if there were a page that kind of broke down the structure of pmwiki, kind of an overview for Site Admins. It could include an overview of the directories under pmwiki, what sort of things goes in each one, which ones it is ok to edit directly. A break down of the kinds of admin tasks that one does in these files, and so must have access to the server. There exists this type of overview for the stuff that is configurable from the web, but I haven't found one for the server stuff. Also, a breakdown of paths would be nice. It seems you can change paths so many ways (.htaccess, config.php, farm.php), it would be nice to know how these interact. Which place sets the root directory, and how may the root directory vary depending on which file you are looking at? Even within the config.php, these can be confusing: why are some of the things called Url not including http:// stuff, and when is this necessary? Both of these are in my config.php, why is one a full url and other not? does it matter? $PubDirUrl = "http://www.shadlen.org/pmwiki/pub";; $PageLogoUrl = "/maria/photos/me.gif"; This last one may be beyond the scope, but something I'd like to understand. When a user goes to an url, what happens? Apache checks the local/config.php first (?) to see what other pages are loaded, and then starts loading them in order through the config.php, following trails when necessary (this file says load this other file, which in turn loads this other file, and then return to the next line of the config.php? Ok, this was a bit longer than I intended. Hope it makes sense. I would volunteer to do this, but I'm still trying to figure it all out. cheers, maria _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
