Recently I have inherited the support of a PMWiki. I upgraded the
wiki from pmwiki-2.1.27 to pmwiki-2.2.78 I also upgraded the
version of flexi skin to the latest release of the skin. I've made
the ".css" file and the ".tmpl" file parallel the originals for this
wiki in an attempt to keep things looking the same.
Originally, the wiki used the name of the file that contained a
page... to create the title of each page. For example, the home
page had the title "Main/HomePage" since the file containing the page
was "Main.HomePage" in the wiki.d directory. With the upgraded wiki,
*every* page has the title at the top of "Site/FlexiTitle". This is
more than a mere inconvenience, because the page title is used when
one does an [AdminEdit] or [Hist]... and this takes you to some weird
FlexiTitle page instead of letting you edit the desired wiki page.
If anyone can tell me how to fix this, I'd be very grateful! If you
can just tell me exactly *where* I can learn how to fix it, I'd be
delighted!!!
There are two major changes from version 2.1.27 to the latest version.
PageVariables written in a wiki page like {$FullName} or {*$FullName}
are used in templates and in the interface sections to point to the page
you are looking at, even when that page has incorporated templates or
portions of other pages.
Previously, both {$FullName} and {*$FullName} always related to the page
at which you were looking. This was programmed to change in 2.2.0 but
changed later, in 2.2.10, so that now {$FullName} refers to the template
page, and {*$FullName} refers to the browsed page.
So, when you upgrade, you should find any PageVariables and if they
relate to the template page, use {$FullName}; if they refer to the
browsed page, use {*$FullName}.
Notably, check your pages Site.PageActions, Site.EditForm,
Site.PageNotFound, SideBar pages, and PageLists in sidebars, headers,
and footers. Edit those pages through the wiki interface, don't edit the
files in wiki.d on the disk. Check also config.php or other files in the
pmwiki/local directory for custom definitions of $GroupHeaderFmt and
$GroupFooterFmt.
Specifically, the links to edit the page or view the history are usually
in the template [[Site.PageActions]] but your skin may use a custom
template, and it probably is the page that opens [[Site.FlexiTitle]]. So
edit this page and insert asterisks like {*$FullName}. You should
additionally check the pages Site.FlexiTop Site.FlexiBottom
Site.FlexiLeft Site.FlexiRight Site.FlexiHeader Site.FlexiFooter if they
exist for any PageVariables.
Note: there are also PageTextVariables looking like {$:Variable} and
{*$:Variable}, they function in a similar manner, use an asterisk if
they should refer to the browsed page and not to the template.
The second major change is how links in global sidebars, headers and
footers work. Previously, a link in Site.SideBar like [[Home Page]]
would link to a CurrentGroup.HomePage in the current group. When you
open a page in another group, the same link would point to
OtherGroup.HomePage, and this ambiguity caused difficulties. Now, the
same link points to [[Site.HomePage]], and if you want a dynamic link,
use a PageVariable like:
[[{*$Group}.HomePage|Home page]]
Version 2.2 was an important upgrade from 2.1 and there are a few other
changes that may concern you. See the page
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Upgrades
specifically the sections "Upgrading from version 2.1.27 to 2.2.0" and
"Upgrading from version 2.2.0 to the latest version".
If you have any difficulty, don't hesitate to ask.
