[Phpwiki-talk] Suggestion - new page templates

[Lawrence A. <la...@20...>]

Hi,

I have been following this list for a while, and have been annoying people 
with bug reports, but I have never posted here before.  Please be gentle 
with me :-)

I was looking at WikkiTikkiTavi this morning for feature ideas.  One thing 
they have just implemented is new page templates.  You can click a link to 
create a new page in the usual way, or you can select (from an appropriate 
index page) from a list of templates.  If you choose a template (eg, 
FAQpage, HomePage, MeetingNote etc), the default text in the edit box 
(currently 'Describe [....] here', for us) is filled in accordingly.  You 
can then edit it as you wish.

This is very helpful for stie admins running eg documentation projects, 
where they want to achieve some consistent look and feel.

We could implement this with a plugin, which takes as its argument the 
default text to appear in the edit box.  Alternatively perhpas, the admin 
could set up a list of predefined templates, and then create a link (using 
a plugin with the template name as an argument) which when clicked creates 
a new page with the right default text.


What do people think of this idea?
