Off the cuff here, but what if you bundled the rootwiki's pages in your story wikis' $WikiLibDirs array? I do this for pages I might create in recipes using the method defined in http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/ModuleGuidelines. I don't see any reason why *any* wiki page path couldn't be included in that. The problem with that is if you modify one of those pages in one of the story wikis, changes from rootwiki won't show up as the edited page is now in the story wiki's wiki.d directory. Another question: why create a whole new wiki for each story? Why not make each story a group in rootwiki? _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
