Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Suggestion - new page templates

I think it's a great idea, and I may implement it myself in a month or two
if no one else has before then.

It looks like you could just add an if statement testing a "copy" parameter
to lib/editpage.php which, if triggered, would use another page's content in
the edit form.  Then you could either:

    (a) modify the EDITPAGE template to include links which reload the edit
page with copy=X set; or
    (b) create a small plugin called TotallyNewPage which displays a
(possibly dynamic) list of templates for the user to choose from with links
into action=edit&copy=X, and rig the ?MissingPageLinks to point to that
intermediate plugin page instead of "&action=edit" in LinkUnknownWikiWord()
in lib/stdlib.php.

This is a very simple approach;  there has been talk of making a templating
system more sophisticated than this for use in weblogs.
