Summary: Wiki - list pages (new feature supplied)

Initial Comment:
I just wrote an email to Greg at the address specified 
in the module docs, but that bounced...

Anyway, here is the text of that email, which includes 
2 new feature requests as well as information about 
the subject of this support request: being able to 
list all wiki pages.

Hi Greg,
   
  I've just starting using the wiki module for phpws 
(version 0.6.0). 
Great work! :)
   
  I've thought of a couple of feature requests, but am 
not sure where 
to post them. In one case, I've coded the changes, so 
I'll include the 
details in this email.
   
  Before I get to that, let me list two other feature 
requests:
   
  Instead of having anchor targets globally specified 
in the admin 
screen - can we make that admin setting a default 
value and add some new 
syntax for anchors which allows you to specify the 
target on a per-usage 
basis?
   
  eg: [WikiPageName|blank linked text]
  or: [htttp://url.com|self linked text]
   
  Likewise, (but perhaps a bit more work), can we 
specify a template 
for images?
   
  eg: 
[http://url.com/imagename.jpg|float_right_click_to_expa
nd.tpl And 
some mouseover (or alt) text for good measure]
   
  Image templates would contain a single markup tag - 
something like 
{IMAGE_URL}. Template authors could artificially 
reduce images to 
thumbnail size (ie, load the full sized image and 
render at a smaller size) 
and wrap that with an anchor tag to display the full 
sized image when 
clicked. Obviously they can do any layout stuff as 
well such as floating 
text around the image, aligning the image, managing 
styles for borders, 
etc.
   
  OK.. now for the easy one - the one I've coded. I 
couldn't find any 
way to just list all wiki pages, except to run an 
empty search. However 
the admin screen does list pages after the admin 
settings.
   
  Attached is a version of the module containing 
changes for adding a 
new operator (named "listpages") which does just that 
(and nothing 
more). I haven't coded any new permission settings to 
govern this, but it 
should be useful for non-admins to access a page list 
without having to 
resort to the search box.
   
  (Personally I use the link as part of the Stats 
module's counter 
block - the tally of wiki pages is a clickable link to 
the list of pages).
   
  In any case, a direct URL would now be: 
index.php?module=wiki&op=listpages
   
  Also - you'll see that properly, the functionality 
to list pages and 
display admin settings should be separated out into 
different 
functions. But I was after a quick solution :D
   
  I changed WikiManager.php - to add a new operator 
case (called 
"listpages")
   
  I changed WikiSettings.php - changing only 
the "admin" function. I 
added a new argument (called $fullAdmin) to the 
function, which defaults 
to true. The operator "listpages" calls the admin 
function with a 
"false" argument, hence activating the changes.
   
  The changes in WikiSettings.php are essentially to 
skip all of the 
processing associated with the admin settings, and 
just get down to the 
page list at the end. This requires a new template - 
one without all the 
colons. Also - the page title has been changed.
   
  I added a new template named listpages.tpl
   
  And that's it.
   
  Cheers, and thanks,
   
  Chris.

Not sure why the email bounced.

I do not plan to add any more features to the 0.x.x series.
 I am nearing completion on version 1.0.0 which is for
phpWebSite 1.0.x.  The initial 1.0.0 release will mainly be
version 0.6.0 converted to the new phpWebSite.  After that
release, I will be adding new features again.

I'm moving this to the wiki tracker.
