[Phpwiki-talk] Some thoughts about phpwiki

[Mikhail V. <vla...@ma...>]

Hello, people.

I have installed phpwiki-1.3.10 on my site, and I want to tell you,
what I think about it.

I have tried to make Russian locale for it, to make my own theme, to
add some new special sequences (link --- for mdash, -- for ndash, (C)
for copyright sign e.t.c.).

I found the following difficulties:

1. [:alpha:], [:alnum:] and other character classes works well on my
PHP installation, while phpwiki still tries to use it's buggy
work-around for them.  I want to be able to switch off that
work-around.

2. 'strict' authorization scheme is broken (it tries next
authentication method if previous method says, that user exists, but
password is wrong).  I have fixed this bug by deleting several lines
in WikiUserNew.php (first 'if' statement in function _tryNextPass of
class PassUser)

3. WIKI_NAME_REGEXP is used for both automatic link creation and for
checks for valid user names.  I prefer to apply to user names weaker
conditions, then to automatic links.  I want to be able to specify two
different regular expressions for this two cases.

I am an expierenced PHP programmer and I think, I can help with
development of phpwiki.  At least I can submit Russian locale for it.
My user name at sourceforge is mvladimirov.
