[Phpwiki-talk] i've begun the migration to phpwiki!

[Adam S. <ad...@pe...>]

Hey.

I'm in the process of migrating from MoinMoin to PhpWiki for my personal
wiki site.  In the process I'm writing some docs for hosting a PhpWiki
farm (cause I now run 4 wiki's for friends and projects and I only see the
number getting larger with time :-).  The docs aren't great yet because I
keep reshuffling how I think it should be done but I'll test them and fix
them up in the next few days.

So my first project was to manually port the InstallPhpWiki page from Moin
mark up to Phpwiki mark up as prep for writing a perl script to batch all
the pages into my new wiki!  Well easier said then done, it appears I've
grown used to things working a certain way.

 * Is there anyway to do indented mono-spaced text other then just lots of
   spaces?  In Moin one leading space always indents to the level of a
   list indent.  In Phpwiki it seems to just indent a space.

 * Is there any way to do a single word (or phrase) mono-spaced within a
   normal sentence?  Moin does it {{{like this}}}.

 * Should mono-spaced text also escape all automatic linking?  The main
   thing I use mono-spaced text for is cut and paste of config files etc
   and it's annoying to have to ! each accidental wiki word.

 * What determines when a list ends and a new one starts.  The way I've
   been using lists seems to make them start over (so I just get repeated
   single element lists).  I don't think lists should start over until
   there is a non-indented paragraph or line.

 * With Interwiki links what is the reason for having Wiki:WikiClone
   actually show up as Wiki:WikiClone as apposed to just WikiClone?  It
   seems unwiki'ish to break the natural flow of language.  Does it really
   matter that you know which site you're going to when you click on a
   link?

 * InterWiki links only work if the part after the : is a wiki word.  This
   means that things like an ISBN, IMDB or Category InterWiki link can't
   work.  It would also be nice if page names with +'s would work so that
   an InterWiki word like Google:php+wiki would work.  Examples here:

 * The c2 wiki is listed twice in the interwiki.map file (as Wiki and as
   PPR).

 * I've made an aggregate interwiki.map file which includes everything
   listed by Moin, Phpwiki and Meatball.  If you want it you can download
   it from here:

Overall though it was pretty painless.  When you consider that all the
tricks I'm using in Moin I've learned over the last year, and I've figured
out how to get Phpwiki to do almost all of them in less then a day!

Thanks!
Adam.
