I agree that it might be time for another reorganization of how information is presented with the caveat that good reorganization would break linkages... so you can only go so far if that's important. With regards to the skin... I like the simplicity of the skin... IMHO, what we need is BETTER documentation about skins. I've created non-public skins that are absolutely amazing for PmWiki... skins which actually exploit PmWiki itself... something the current skin doesn't do too much of. Of course, there are also features of PmWiki that did not exist at the time of the skin... so there is even more than could be done. Perhaps what is needed is some fun... maybe a contest for skinning the site? Just my opinion, but there still isn't a good skinning doc at PmWiki... and... (and I'll get dinged for this)... the contributed skins don't really do PmWiki justice either. Just saying. I think there are too many people that try to be raw HTML/javascript... and not enough that think PmWiki with regards to their skin designs. Again, just saying. As an example... the logo... it should be an included page. In fact it could be a multi-fall back included page... so that it could change based on context even. And the same could be done for page banners and the like. All of this is DEFAULT PmWiki... skins should be SIMPLE... customizations should be elegant and leverage the power of PmWiki... again... just saying. For me, if people could see the elegance of a skin design that truly leverages PmWiki instead of HTML (again, the current skin does some work to present a SearchBox... and in all fairness, that can be DONE using PmWiki markup...)... if people could see that elegance of design IMHO, it helps truly sell it... anyone can create a bunch of blinky lights and hard coded HTML and javascript... but NONE of that is really PmWiki.

None of them are truly WYSIWYG.. they ALL have errors.. and none of them cover a true wiki scenario. Nevertheless there is one case where a WYSIWYG editor is extremly useful: Table editing! I disagree.. somewhat. Again, having used some of the table editors inside of supposedly superior wiki alternatives (btw, most of the people whining are probably NOT looking at a wiki)... I can tell you that the editor bites you almost as much as it helps you. And when it messes up, you can lose data and eventually (at least my experience) you end up going back to the external spreadsheet source and recopying to fix. Ever tried to insert a column in HTML or Wiki markup? It's a PITA. Even entering or modifying data is extremly inconvenient in markup. Interior column adds can be a pain. I agree. Sometimes you have to turn a problem on it's head though. I find myself presenting tables as simple table rows and columns from a pagelist template more and more. Then you just have to edit the template and the new column appears, etc. That doesn't cover all cases of course, just something to consider. Markup gives you control without the errors and security risks it makes presentation uniform. And simple markup beats the pants off HTML, which is what MOST of the other wiki alternatives end up forcing you to do to get the job done... again, just my opinion. I've got an extension to PmWiki that turns all tables into streaming csv for a page... and I submitted the PmDocConvert that allows you to embed and portray spreadsheets handled by LibreOffice/OpenOffice inside of PmWiki. So again, while not perfect, these extensions handle most of my needs... (combined with the pagelist template method mentioned earlier).

I suspect the br / may be coming from a \\ markup, then, instead of
being automatically added. If that's the case, you may be able to
disable the \\ markup with
DisableMarkup('\\$');
Or, change the pagelist template to use (:linebreaks:) and eliminate
any \\ markup in the template.
Yep.. it was ME... I had inserted the double backslashes when testing
the template at some point.
So... all my fault... I removed the markup from my template... and voilà!!

But I don't have a clue how to interact with PmWiki forms. I envision using PmWiki's existing form mechanisms, but hiding the text that comes before and after the desired section on a page. On save or preview, I'd re-insert the hidden text. In my vision, I wouldn't have to worry about things like Replace on Save logic, because the page's text would be reassembled by the time it gets that far. Is the approach I envision possible? What function(s) would I need to modify, and can that be done without patching the core or breaking something in PmWiki? Would I need to use javascript (which I don't know), or can this be done entirely in PHP (which I'm starting know a little)? Just my opinion, but IF section editing is important and whole page editing with sections is NOT too important, then you could do something simple like use (:include pagename:) in the overall page and have edit tags there (possibly based on being authorized).

3. My pagestore is: 'wiki.d/{$Group}/{$FullName}' so I store

But then where do I store the individual pages?

I was thinking that a specially crafted pagelist might be able to get data from: Generatedpage-UniqueID Userpage-UniqueID Where UniqueID is the common piece.

IMHO, you create skins that are about 100% better than the ones that are on the PmWiki site btw (no offense). PmWiki is just so flexible. I know that might not be the answer you are wanting. But if you take a bit of time to look at even the pmwiki skin, you should be able to figure out just what all is possible. For example the skin I made supports things like: (:nonav:) Removes navigation menu (:noaction:) Removed action menu (:nologo:) Removes logo area (:nosearch:) Removes search pane (:noleft:) (:noright:) (:noheader:) (:nofooter:) ... and some more... ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users

Re: [pmwiki-users] How to submit patches to PmWiki?
I think there are two sides... I like PmWiki as a set of lower level tools... a toolkit upon which we can build extensions (we often call these recipes). The other side are those looking for a feature rich deployment platform where little to no configuration (even downloading a recipe) is required. So, with that said, I think the idea of recipes in the core is possible, but I'd like to see it done in a way that does not require adding bloat to the base PmWiki. Perhaps some automated way to pull in signed extensions afterward (?)... or maybe a large add-on download. Of course, there will also be the normal recipe way of pulling in othe rextensions (along with the problems and conflicts that they might cause). So, for example, I download PmWiki, which allows ME to build great things. But let's say there's feature-full blogging package that is now part of the core (a signed extension). And it has all the bells and whistles of the major blogging packages out there, perhaps is close to the size of the PmWiki core itself. That piece could be optionally added using some kind of automatic PmWiki package install command... or it might be part of the larger inclusive extension package that I could install. Obviously, things like this would require some work. Bug fixes though are fine. And additions to the core that make it a better more flexible toolkit is also fine.

Rule3: Anything that starts from the root that is not a-z, is a PmWiki page. Rule4: Treat up as a shortcut to the uploads area (we allow that) We DO NOT have any index.html, index.php at our document root. The rewrites should handle where to go. Also, notice the rules for groups that begin with lowercase a-z. This allows url's that have root names with a lowercase to be handled directly by apache instead of PmWiki, so we can have a nicely blended environment (note the exception shortcut for up). For example: http://labs/cacti goes directly to our cacti SNMP pages. And: http://labs/Cacti Would go to the default PmWiki page for the Cacti group.

[pmwiki-users] CondAuth inside of config.php after include authuser, returns ok when read password GroupAttributes enabled.
I'm seeing an interesting problem. In my config.php
I have:
$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = array(crypt('secret'),'@sysadmin');
$DefaultPasswords['attr'] = '@sysadmin';
$DefaultPasswords['edit'] = 'id:*';
$DefaultPasswords['upload'] = '';
$DefaultPasswords['browse'] = '';
$HandleAuth['upload'] = 'edit';
$HandleAuth['diff'] = 'edit';
$HandleAuth['source'] = crypt('secret');
include_once($FarmD/scripts/authuser.php);
if (CondAuth($pagename,$action)) {
$ok='ok';
} else {
$ok='not ok';
}
The problem is that when I go to a page where read is protected
via GroupAttributes for group called Mine, I get thrown to the login
dialog (correct), but I also get an 'ok' above for the page. Shouldn't
I get a 'not ok' instead?? I'm confused.
Seems to work if I try to edit a page where I don't have
permissions. Is this because there is a difference between
authuser and just plain old page password protection?? Notice
that edit needs id:* auth perms by default. On that
Mine/GroupAttributes page I have:
read: id:*
edit: id:* (set by site)
attr: @sysadmin (set by site)
upload:(using read password)
I get 'ok' even when I haven't logged in, though I do get the
login prompt. It's just that CondAuth isn't giving me what
I expected.
Thanks for any help on this,
Chris

Answering my own question. Protection is done for 'read', which
isn't an action, and certainly isn't the default action, which is
browse. So... I altered my logic to check to see if the action
is browse and if CondAuth($pagename,'read') is ok or not to determine
if the user has the ability to read the page.
My brain hurts a bit... but this is solved (at least functionality
wise) for me now.

[pmwiki-users] Working on a new one, PmDocConvert
We have a wonderful internal wiki with LOTS of customizations, including the ability to use markup to turn a page into SSL for example... and much more. Some of the code needs cleaning up... but I've been working on a new addition to allow fo rthe easy upload and portrayal of proprietary (i.e. Microsoft) formats. It relies on the the ability to run OpenOffice as a server with pyuno support (builtin to most OOo 3.x) and the python program DocumentConverter.py But it's not just a wrapper around the python program. Anyway, imagine uploading a PowerPoint presentation to you wiki and then being able to flip through it like it was a series of web pages.

[pmwiki-users] Using latest PmWiki and AuthUser, but can't set a READ password
I'm stuck. I have AuthUser installed
$DefaultPasswords['admin'] = crypt('secret');
$DefaultPasswords['attr'] = crypt('secret');
$DefaultPasswords['edit'] = 'id:*';
$DefaultPasswords['upload'] = 'edit';
$HandleAuth['upload'] = 'edit';
$HandleAuth['diff'] = 'edit';

$Author = $AuthId;
When I go to a page and do ?action=attr I would
love to have just members of the @admins group
have access I thought I just needed to supply
@admins for the read password.
What am I missing? (I have a feeling this is an
easy question... but I couldn't find anything

If you mean you want to keep visitors away from ?action=attr, add this
line...
$HandleAuth['attr'] = 'admin';
If you want to keep people from reading that specific page, say
Main.SecretPage, using @admin, then that should just work. Have you assigned
users to the @admin group?
Hmmm... what's happening is that no changes are getting saved attr wise
to either pages or GroupAttributes (doesn't create a GroupAttributes
page). Weird. More exploration for me...

It was started at the same time as Text Extract, but with a different
purpose and direction in implementation. However, initial code and etc. all
come from Hans...
The problem below (returning lines from one text pattern to another) would
be handled in this manner:
{(sed -n '/TextPatternA/,/TextPatternB/p' file)}
You can also specify other commands to the sed command using multiple
applications of the -e option as follows:
{(sed -n -e '1,2p' -e '/TextPatternA/,/TextPatternB/p' -e
's/searchfor/replace/g' file)}
(This would return the first 2 lines and the lines between TextPatternA and
TextPatternB (inclusive) and also do a search/replace.)
The other commands contained within WikiSh include wc (-w=wordcount which
also does -l=linecount and -c=charcount), head (returns the top -n=n lines
from a file), tail (same for the end of the file), cat (returns all lines),
etc.
This is a beginning - lots more to go, but I thought since it answered this
specific need here it might be appropriate to put it out there...

Hi Hans,
the problem with a nice recipe is sometimes the Customers get a bit
greedy - please tell me if I am doing this in this instance.
I was wondering if your recipe could be extended to:
extract from #TextPatternA# to TextPatternB
Reason: I use (:include pagename #from#to:) at the moment to bring
content from another page. Problem with this is
the RSS for the host page doesn't trigger even thou the included page
has changed since the host hasn't been re-written.
A nice feature with your recipe is that it writes to the page and
causes the RSS event. So if the extract could go
#from #to it would be a nice feature!
Thanks

It was also suggested to me to maintain a separate plain text list and use a perl script to wikify it. I could go with that but ideally the list would be editable by the non-technical people who are also using it. Well.. there's nothing saying that the source file of names/numbers can't be a wiki page itself. It's not terribly hard to parse a wiki page especially if it's void of special markups. Thus the multiple column thing becomes a read-only view of the data. With extra work, a special markup could be done to produce the multi-column list with data embedded within the markup begin/end so that this could all be done in one page (with a little bit of effort). ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users

[[{$FullName}?action=edit|edit]]
And then when the page is (:include:)'d, it's a link
to edit the included content. Nice.
I'd like to create a new markup that adds this to a page
instead of typing all of the above in. But, I can't figure
it out. Any hints?
For example, I could add (:e:) and it would effectively
be the same as having the above inside the page to be
included.

Re: [pmwiki-users] Bulk import and categories
Michel wrote: Hello, I wish to import in PmWiki over than 3,500 text files created by another tool. I have set up a script translating the pages to the Pmwiki format according to the specs : http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PageFileFormat After that, I have copied the pages under wiki.d/, and I can view them. The previous tool managed also categories. The script translating the pages insert the [[!CatNameXXX]] strings in the 'text=' section. I have also created Category.CatNameXXX and Category.GroupFooter. When displaying a page, category links appear, but after clicking, Category page displays with empty list (not astonishing). I have noticed that, if I edit a page, then save it without change, its name appears in the category page. You probably need to remove the wiki.d/.pageindex and have it regenerated. Please, what is the best way to build category lists : - to add something in the translation script, like creating 'targets=' field, or other fields, or creating/updating another files) ? - to mimic the edit/save process for each page using the cookbook http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/GlobalOperations ? I gave a try to the GlobalOperations cookbook, using UpdatePage() but I get no change on displaying modified pages, and the loop is interrupted by time-out. If possible, I should prefer to improve the translation script. Thanks for your advices.

Re: [pmwiki-users] Banner Rotation
Brian Kramer wrote: Anyone have a good way of incorporating banner ads into pmwiki? Preferably a certain ad or ads on certain pages. I wrote a random rotation recipe a long time ago. PmWiki can now produce randomized lists back from a pagelist markup, and if you limit it down to just returning one and use an include template, then you can use that to include random content. With that said, I still use the recipe I wrote a long time ago: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/RandomPage (on that page you'll see Pm's remark of how to use pagelist to do something somewhat similar) You can see it in action here: http://www.ntlug.org/Main/HomePage?skin=ntlug-ads Use setskin=ntlug-ads if you want it to persist. ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users

I have been using (:if auth admin:) to hide buttons but at least one button has to be visible to prompt for the admin's or editor's password. The real question may be not how do you hide it, but how do you display it for the editor? or... How do you get the password prompt to come up? Why do you HAVE to expose a button for login? Can't someone just add the privileged action to the URL line? I mean, you can't have everything. Either have a login button, or use the URL line. At work, I have a login button. On my web sites the extra buttons don't appear unless you are logged in... and you have to enter a privileged action on the URL line to get the login prompt (so they look more like a CMS managed site). ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users

[pmwiki-users] I need to check page auth (AuthUser) inside of php
I saw that (:if auth edit:) that the 'auth' was defined as: $Conditions['auth'] = '@$GLOBALS[PCache][$GLOBALS[pagename]][=auth][trim($condparm)]'; I guess I'm stupid though.. how can I make an 'if' statement in php to check if the user is authorized for a particular thing (edit, read, etc) on a specific page?? Looks like pmwiki code mainly does this kind of processing on page access so it's built into RetrieveAuthPage. I'm trying to figure out some way of making SSL password page (which is difficult since the auth form is not really a page) work right. There's just way too many ways the existing recipes fail to let go of SSL encryption after the password entry part. If I can test to see if the user has the ability to perform the action on the page, I can redirect (I think) to not using SSL. Sigh... this would be ridiculously easy if the authorization mechanism were really a page btw (could just use rewrites... this works for UserAuth). ___ pmwiki-users mailing list pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users

It may have been defined that way at one time, but that's no
longer the definition. The correct one is:
$Conditions['auth'] = 'NoCache(CondAuth($pagename, $condparm))';

Yep.. thanks! I figured it out JUST before you emailed this to
the list. I now have SSL working on my site just fine... SSL
for the SiteAdmin.AuthForm login and then it goes back to
http (non-SSL) to perform the action.
My code is ugly... but here goes (feel free to suggest something
better):
## Switch to SSL mode when password would be sent in the clear.
$SSLActions = array(
'1'='login', 'edit', 'post', 'postattr', 'attr', 'upload', 'loginadmin');
$SSLActions = array_flip($SSLActions);
if (!CondAuth($pagename,$action) $SSLActions[$action]) {
if ($UrlScheme != 'https') {
# Copy all GET request parameters and avoid

Re: [pmwiki-users] Preempting the edit password prompt
David Bruce Murray wrote: Q: Can I preempt the edit password prompt on links that don't yet have pages? The nature of my wiki requires edit passwords. When I started my wiki, I encouraged editors to insert what I call pre-links in articles. For example, an editor creating an article about Bob will go ahead and link references to Mary or Joe even if no articles exist on Mary or Joe. My reasoning was that other editors would notice these links and future articles would be encouraged as a result. This is very confusing to a common non-editor/reader, though, whose only interest is browsing the site. They click one of the links with the ? mark beside it, and can't understand why they're getting a prompt for a password. I would like to insert a message, This article has not been written yet. Please check back later and also have a way for editors to click from THAT page, submit their password, and proceed to create the new page. For the moment, I've asked editors to stop inserting pre-links until this can be sorted out. You could edit the Site login form and put the message as described in it. Of course, you still want them to be able to login, so you could wrap a conditional around the login form data there so that they have to navigate to the form directly in order to see the login form (you can put a link somewhere called login to make that easier). Shoot.. the login link could even be inside the Site login form page itself... so you get the message This article has not been written... and there will be a link to login after the message.

Specifically I created some links on the sidebar after removing all existing links except the one named edit SideBar. My new links appeared with the question mark indicating the pages linked to didn't exist. So far so good. I then created the pages and then while clicking on other links in PmWiki like initial setup tasks or other pre-existing links, the sidebar links appear next to the pre-existing pages with question marks again. Though I already created them!

Links need to be fully qualified inside of pages that are included on all pages (e.g. the SideBar).
