[Phpwiki-talk] More experiences with the alpha version

[Steven M. <st...@mu...>]

Hi All,

I've been having fun playing with the new features the alpha version
gives, and it has mostly worked well. I have had a couple of problems,
which I will explain here in the hope that it will help anyone else who
is having the same problems.

The first happens when the "History" of a page is requested in order to
perform a diff. The pageinfo.php file is used, however when the diff is
requested, a diff on HomePage is performed regardless of the page whose
History is being displayed.

This seems to be due to the pageinfo page not including a pagename
field. This problem could occur because I have set USE_PATH_INFO to be
false.

The attached patch adds a pagename field to pageinfo, and while it might
not be the correct solution it at least seems to work on my
installation.

Often when a diff is requested on a page with many revisions, and is
performed on the HomePage (which has few revisions), a revision cannot
be retried, which causes another problem.

If diff cannot find a revision the NoSuchRevision() function in
stdlib.php is called, which in turn calls GeneratePage(). However
GeneratePage() is not defined and a error message is displayed.

The GeneratePage() function of relevance seems to be defined in
Template.php so the attached patch includes this file. Once again this 
might not be the best way to do it since I am not familiar with PHP in 
general nor PHPWiki in particular, but it works for me.

I have posted bug reports about these problems on Sourceforge too.

Hope this helps,
Steven Murdoch.
