[Phpwiki-talk] Themes & languages (was Re: need help with cvs...)

[Carsten K. <car...@ma...>]

Hi Jeff,
You've raised some important issues which I didn't consider: security, 
rootless access and multiple wikis off the same codebase.

-rootless access to server
  I agree, without root access to the server DATA_PATH will still be needed 
after all.

-security
  Below is another folder layout which I believe takes these issues into 
consideration. Templates for all the various languages can still be 
grouped inside a locale folder within a theme, the whole 
/themes/default/locale/ folder could be excluded from server access.

-selection of style sheets independent of themes
  -muliple style sheets can exist within /themes/default/, independent of 
language.

Moving language specific stuff from index.php is a good idea too. The 
admin could then specify a default language and a theme and the wiki would 
be populated with the pgsrc from the default language, and the correct 
templates and text-messages would automatically be referenced.

With this folder layout a new user preference could be added for the 
language, users could choose any one of the languages available in the 
current theme and the wiki dynamically serves out the appropriate system 
text, messages, and menus. Of course the page contents themselves would 
not change.
