    I just installed the latest version of PhpWiki, it seems to be working great. I'm basicly using the default options everywhere (easier installation). However, on the bottom where there are the buttons for removing, locking, etc.. the current page, there is no button for "Add Page" or "Add Article". Is this a known issue in the latest version, or did i miss something in the Configuration file?

      The reason that there's no such button is that if you add pages that way, the new pages will be orphans: They won't be linked to any of your old pages, so no one will be able to find the new pages. The normal way to add new pages in a wiki is to reference them in an existing page, and then create the new page from the '?' icon which appears after the new page name.

      If you look at the page HowToUseWiki, you'll see two such links, "SteveWainsteadEatsLiveWorms", and "ThisPageShouldNotExist".

      There's no such button planned for the default actionbar template.
      However you can easily add it by yourself, by adding
      <?=$SEP?><?= Button(_("CreatePage")) ?>
      to the default actionbar template.

      The actionpage CreatePage, with <?plugin-form CreatePage ?> as content should already be available.
