Correction to my last.  What caused my errors which were similar
to yours was me inadvertently deleting the default directory.  I
didn't realize that contained the template files for all the
themes.  I thought it was only the default theme shown on
phpwiki's site.

Try reloading the /themes/default/ directory and
/lib/Template.php.  You may have a corrupted or missing file.

Re:

Subject: All Greek to me (Wiki maths)

Sure, you can.  This line is in the head of your webpage and
tells a browser which character set you want to display:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />

PhpWiki's template is set up for 8859-1.  These are all the
characters that will be displayed properly cross browser:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/iso/28591.htm

By changing that line, you can display non-Latin based languages
like Greek.
It looks like ISO 8859-7 includes Greek letters.
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/iso/28597.htm  .
All you have to do is change this line in index.php:
from: define("CHARSET", "iso-8859-1");
to: define("CHARSET", "iso-8859-7");

Phpwiki's code will then carry it through to the head of each of
your webpages. Before doing that though make sure you can live
without the characters you'll be losing by switching.

There's a ton of other ISO's.  If you need different or more
characters than in 8859-7 just do a search on Google and see what
other ISO might fit your need.  Be careful in wandering outside
the standard ones because it may not render properly in older or
cross browsers.  Just do a test if you decide to do that.

Mac's have their own built in character sets which includes
Greek.  That's why you can see Greek without changing that line
but everyone else will probably see garbage in you type a
character outside the set defined in that metatag.

[Phpwiki-talk] Action page

[Ted V. <te...@jo...>]

Hi,

after I have translated words like "LikePages" to Dutch ("NetZoals"), the
url it's referring to also changes from ThuisPagina?action=LikePages to
ThuisPagina?action=NetZoals which ends up in two PHP warnings at the bottom
of the page:

lib/main.php:430: Notice[1024]: NetZoals: Does not appear to be an 'action
page'

lib/main.php:411: Notice[1024]: NetZoals: Unknown action

However in the default distribution a few buttons already have been
translated e.g. the "Edit" button has already been translated to "Verander",
which works ok. The Edit button *is* in my native language, but still refers
to the original ?action=edit url.

Does anyone know where I can change these 'action pages' and/or get the
translated buttons still refer to their original url or get the new
translated urls to work as action pages?

Regards,
Ted

[Phpwiki-talk] All Greek to me (Wiki maths)

[John K. <jo...@ke...>]

Hi,

Is it possible to include Greek letters and other mathematical 
symbols on a phpwiki page easily? I can type a few common ones from 
my Mac keyboard such as pi, gamma, mu, but I'd like to be able to 
write the full range. Well, not me, but someone else using the wiki 
would like to. I don't know my omega from my omicron.

John.

[Phpwiki-talk] Incorrect Date and Time Display on W2000 IIS

[z2d2 <z2...@ea...>]

Functions formatDate and formatTime in /lib/Theme.php do not work
properly on a Windows 2000 server running IIS.  The day and hours
will not display with the s/w patch that was inserted. This
non-working code for W2000 IIS has carried thru to the latest
version on CVS.

Recommend changing from using php's strftime to the date function
which I believe works fine cross platform.  This also eliminates
the need to use preg_replace to strip out leading zeros on a
date.  Recommended changes:


Under the theme directory, modify these two lines in each
themeinfo.php file to the date and time string formats used by
php's date function
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php instead of those
used by the strftime function:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php.


Example from MacOSX Theme:
[Old Code]
$Theme->setDateFormat("%A, %B %e, %Y"); // must not contain time
$Theme->setTimeFormat("%l:%M:%S %p");


[New Code]
$Theme->setDateFormat("l, F j Y"); // must not contain time
$Theme->setTimeFormat("g:i:s");



In /lib/Theme.php, modify the return statement in function
formatDate as follows:

[Old Code]
    function formatDate ($time_t) {
        global $request;

        $offset_time = $time_t + 3600 *
$request->getPref('timeOffset');
        // strip leading zeros from date elements (ie space
followed by zero)
        return preg_replace('/ 0/', ' ',
                            strftime($this->_dateFormat,
$offset_time));
    }

[New Code]
    function formatDate ($time_t) {
        global $request;

        $offset_time = $time_t + 3600 *
$request->getPref('timeOffset');
        return date($this->_dateFormat, $offset_time);
    }



In /lib/Theme.php, modify the return statement in function
formatTime as follows:

[Old Code]
    function formatTime ($time_t) {
        //FIXME: make 24-hour mode configurable?
        global $request;
        $offset_time = $time_t + 3600 *
$request->getPref('timeOffset');
        return preg_replace('/^0/', ' ',

strtolower(strftime($this->_timeFormat, $offset_time)));
    }

[New Code]
    function formatTime ($time_t) {
        //FIXME: make 24-hour mode configurable?
        global $request;
        $offset_time = $time_t + 3600 *
$request->getPref('timeOffset');
        return date($this->_timeFormat, $offset_time);
    }



FYI, these appear to be unused variables located in
/lib/Theme.php:
    var $_dateFormat = "%B %d, %Y";
    var $_timeFormat = "%I:%M %p";
    var $_showModTime = true;

[Phpwiki-talk] Re: Phpwiki-talk digest, Vol 1 #582 - 1 msg

[z2d2 <z2...@ea...>]

Just a guess:  Do you have all the themes loaded on your server??
I was getting similar error messages when I uploaded the only
theme I want to use.  When I uploaded them all, the errors
disappeared.  I haven't had time yet to see if the code requires
them all be present or it was merely a fluke and I actually had a
bad file in the theme I had chose.

[Phpwiki-talk] ImageAlignment and IE Problems

[Sandy M. <mat...@bt...>]

John Kershaw has been very helpful in getting the ImageAlignment to 
work in 1.3.3 however I have now encountered what appears to be a 
browser problem. 
 
The pages with images load fine, but with IE5 & IE6 the 
ImageAlignment won't function. However this is OK in Netscape 7 and 
John says it is also fine in Opera. 
 
The site is at http://diocese.dsvr.co.uk/wiki/ and the relevant pages
are
'St Mary's History' and 'A Living Place' amongst others. 
 
Any ideas would be warmly welcomed. 
 
I have found PHPWiki fairly easy to work with so far, thank you for 
your help. We are planning to make it available for all the parishes
within the Anglican Diocese of Portsmouth UK as a way of getting as 
many online as possible (up to 100 parishes have no website at 
present). Thanks for a great piece of software.

RE: [Phpwiki-talk] Another dumb "can't-track-it-down" question: why huge fonts

[Marjorie R. <mro...@ma...>]

That 'almost' worked a charm. Definitely helps a lot.

But the "wiki home | about wiki | search" at the top of the page (rawfoodwiki.org) is also affected by that, and it looks a little odd. I guess I can make the search button smaller in body.tmpl to compensate.

But isn't there _something_ that is making the text unnaturally large somewhere along the way, to begin with? 

I am familiar with css by the way. It's just these multiple stylesheets, combined with the templates and themes, combined with the fact that some Portland templates apparently still access the /default directory, combined with the gadzillions of php code files that has me not too certain of what has priority, what overrides what, etc.

I am VERY appreciative of the help of this group. Thanks!

Appreciatively,

Margie

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Another dumb "can't-track-it-down" question: why huge fonts

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

Hi,

PhpWiki uses css almost exclusively to define the page appearance, so 
you need to look at editing the style sheet file 
http://www.rawfoodwiki.org/themes/Portland/portland.css.

A good online authoritative reference for CSS can be found at: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/

Note that how a page appears in a browser will be unpredictable if 
there is a mixture of html styles AND css styles, it will depend on the 
individual browser.

PhpWiki out of the box is set to use XHTML which is similar to HTML 4. 
If you decide to forgo css and only work with the older HTML tags like 
<font size=...> it would be a good idea to adjust head.tmpl to reflect 
the html code you use to help out the browser trying to render the 
page. (For your setup I would copy 
wiki/themes/default/templates/head.tmpl into 
wiki/themes/Portland/templates/head.tmpl and edit the copy.)

html 4 reference: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Another dumb "can't-track-it-down" question: why huge fonts

[Marjorie R. <mro...@ma...>]

I'm realizing that the only thing that my edit of Portland.css accomplished was to make the words at the top small. I've never worked with multiple stylesheets like this before, and I admit, that after an hour of searching, I'm still stymied. I want the top line (wiki | About Wiki) fairly large (as it was), and the body/CONTENT small. 

(I think the current large font looks awful.)

I did find an unsatisfactory solution by going into body.tmpl and surrounding the CONTENT section with a <font size = -2> tag. The problem with this is that the spacing (and the bullets) are still the +2 size. Doesn't look good. (I deleted that.) 

Feels dumb to be so bogged down by this, but bogged I am...

[Phpwiki-talk] Offline PHPWiki on Laptop, sync later - been done?

[Giovanni M. <Gio...@re...>]

Hi

I'm wanting to be able to use PHPWiki while I'm not online. There's been
extensive discussions on the Twiki site but I couldn't (via google) find
anything related to offline PHPWiki's.

I can see that if one used the PHPWiki's text file option rather that a
database, it would be possible to do textual merging on the page files
using CVS/RCS, and apart from the possibility of - I forget the term -
"collisions" the scheme seems (as usual - in outline) simple enough.

A constraint at this end is the laptop is a little underpowered. It's a
Pentium 100 with 16MB with both Windows 95 and Tiny Linux on it -  so it
might be do some trimming.

Another thought is to use a alternative wiki on the laptop. I've got
Awki (a 300 line Wiki written in AWK) going with the cut down Apache
server so it would be possible to use that if it used the same markup
(which is doesn't yet :-) and then merge the files later.

My thoughts so far - or am I reinventing the wheel?

Cheers
Giovanni

[Phpwiki-talk] Greedy InterWiki Regexp

[Martin G. <gim...@gi...>]

Hi and Merry Christmas to everybody!

I think the regexp that matches InterWiki links are a bit to greedy in
that it also includes a trailing '!' in the link. So Google:Foo! is
turned into a link to a search for 'Foo!' in Google, whereas
Google:Bar? is a search for 'Bar' as expected.

I found the getMatchRegexp function in the Markup_interwiki class, and
added a '!' to the list of punctuation:

    function getMatchRegexp () {
        global $request;
        $map = InterWikiMap::GetMap($request);
        return "(?<! [[:alnum:]])" . $map->getRegexp() .
            ": \S+ (?<![ ,.?;! \] \) \" \' ])";
    }

As always: it seams to work, but someone with more experience with
these regexps should check it too... Perhaps we could make a variable
somewhere that lists the punctuation --- it seams to me that it's used
again and again in several places, so a central place would make sure
that everything stays consistent.

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] set default edit box width

[Jeff D. <da...@da...>]

> I can't seem to find where I set the default width for the edit box.

For PhpWiki 1.3.3, look in lib/main.php for the line:

  $UserPreferences = array('editWidth' => new _UserPreference_int(80, 30,
150),

The three numbers are, in order, the default (80), minimum (30) and
maximum (150) allowed for the preference.

(In the current CVS version, this code has been moved to
lib/WikiUser.php.)

[Phpwiki-talk] set default edit box width

[Marjorie R. <mro...@ma...>]

I can't seem to find where I set the default width for the edit box.

Can someone clue me in?

I realize that it's user editable, but the default is pretty important to the average user, esp. if they don't have a high resolution screen.

(Everything moves over on my wiki, because I've got the edit box in a table at rawfoodwiki.org. So, typically my submit button is out of view.)

Briefly, we've got a number of home users who've port-forwarded a
local port to the PHPWiki protected connection (when they want to
connect to the wiki, they forward "localhost:8095" to "zoo:8095".)
However, the wiki has absolute links which continue to specify 
"zoo.perforce.com:8095/...", so the forwarding is broken with
each new page load.

Is there any way for the wiki to use links relative to the top page
so the forwarding isn't broken?

Alternatively, can anyone tell us how to set the hosts mapping in
the ssh client so that this isn't an issue?

Thanks,

Robert Orenstein

[Phpwiki-talk] Can't connect to database: wikidb_backend_mysql: fatal database error

[<ba...@mi...>]

What might be the causes of this message?  I have MySQL installed; granted 
login and password to the wiki database in there; ran mysql.sql to create 
the database; seem to have all the permissions set correctly; know where 
the socket to connect to mysql is set; etc.

In the CVS version, you can also just use mailto:na...@wh... to
get a nice link with the mailto: part replaced by a little icon, see:

Nobody is currently working on it that I know of.  Mostly because there
doesn't seem to be a concensus on what syntax(es) to use. 

See
  http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/NewWikiPageNameSemantics
for some discussion.

It seems somehow my new old-to-new markup conversion code is
triggering a bug in your PHP.   (PHP should never die, no
matter what sort of garbage we/I feed it...)  

You might try upgrading to the latest PHP version.

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Pageloading failure [WAS: Problems with pgsql]

[Jeff D. <da...@da...>]

I think Mirko's problem was due to a known (fixed in CVS) bug
in ExtractWikiPageLinks() (in lib/stdlib.php).  (It only shows up
(so obviously) when using the postgres backend because
(I'm guessing) MySQL silently truncates overly long strings,
while postgres signals an error...)

(I think loadsave.php and ziplib.php are red herrings, in this case...)

ExtractLinks() is fundamentally flawed.  The link extraction should
use the transform engine to find the links.  This is more reason
for me to work on that....

[Phpwiki-talk] mailto: tip

[John K. <jo...@ke...>]

Hi all,

(Sorry if this tip has already been mentioned, but I found it very useful)

Add a line to interwiki.map thus:

Email mailto:

then you can write email links as simply [Email:na...@wh...].

This is prettier than [mailto:na...@wh...]
and easier than [na...@wh... | mailto:na...@wh...]

John.

[Phpwiki-talk] Subpages

[Joachim L. <joa...@nr...>]

Hi, I'm new here but I've been using phpwiki for a bit; thanks for an
excellent wiki engine.

I'm really delighted to see subpages in the CVS version, they're sort
of a requirement for a new installation I'm planning.
But I must admit the way they work is not optimal for my intended use,
so I'd like to make a case for a different system:

The reason I want subpages is so several projects can have their own
sections of the wiki without interfereing with each others'
namespaces, but at the same time being able to link across projects
and to top-level pages, and introduce new projects without any
installation.

In other words: when you're in a sub-section you shouldn't have to
think about it; you should remain inside that section until you ask
for something else. In particular:
- simple wikiwords on a subpage should implicitly refer to a
neighbouring page under the same parent.
Right now there seems to be no way at all to refer to neighbouring
pages except using the "full name". You would of course need a way to
refer up to the top again.

Is there any work going on in this direction, or is it worth trying
to hack something myself?
