i know that userauthentication is very unwiki. but for my diploma i need 
a wiki that supports user authentication. i have heard, that it is not 
so hard to manag user authentication with an existing library. but my 
php-skills are not enough.

my idea is, that everyone can read the wiki. but if they want to edit 
they have to register with their emailadress.

i have taken a look on twiki. i am on a virtual webserver and twiki 
needs different entries in httpd.conf and requires that cgi scripts can 
be executed from everywhere. so it will not run on my server and my 
perl-skills are lower then my php-skills ;)

so if anyone has figured out how userauthentication works it would be 
very usefull for me.

[Phpwiki-talk] Re: phpwiki i18n

[Steve W. <sw...@pa...>]

Hello Roland,

PhpWiki has a built in French translation, which I believe is still not 
completely finished. Perhaps you can help out!

If you can get a copy from CVS, or the nightly build 
(http://phpwiki.sf.net/nightly/phpwiki.nightly.tar.gz) you can install 
PhpWiki with the current French translation by editing the index.php 
file before you first load the Wiki. Most of the pages will then be in 
French but I don't think the various dialogs will be in French; this is 
where we could use some help.

cheers,
~swain

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] LeastPopular pages

[Steve W. <sw...@pa...>]

Or perhaps UnPopular. :-)

I think you'll be surprised at what pages show up under least viewed / 
longest since edit. Depending on the information the Wiki contains, it 
may prove useless. It will still be interesting to look at.

It was a missing 'break;' in a switch statement.  It's fixed now (in CVS).

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

Hi Lawrence,

I'm curious about the "LeastPopular" pages, say for example there are more 
than 20 pages with only 1 hit. How are the pages chosen or sorted? (I 
suppose the same answer would also apply to the MostPopular pages?)

phpwiki doesn't currently support authentication logins.  partly because
the developers haven't gotten to it yet and partly because it's not very
"wiki" and has been low priority.  you could probalby do this by setting
up your webserver to authenticate users before they entered the wiki but
i'm not sure how cleanly that would integrate with phpwiki (it would
work though).

if you need a wiki which supports full user authentication natively you
should check out twiki.org which is a perl based wiki mostly used for
intranets.

To get the notice to go away, you should load the latest version
of pgsrc/InterWikiMap into your wiki.

(Now PhpWiki tries to read the interwiki map from that wikipage,
and falls back to the old behaviour of reading the map from a file,
only if that page doesn't exist or is in the wrong format.)

Or you can try to ignore the message (it's mostly harmless.)

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] LeastPopular pages

[Adam S. <ad...@pe...>]

I think the information would be very useful, however I'm not sure I see
any need for a LeastPopular page or dedicated plugin as it isn't
something you'd typically dedicate a page too, I'd see it more as a tool
for the hardcore wiki users/editors to clean up old content, relink
pages and possibly delete pages which are no longer relevant.

A possibly more interesting approach would be (as Carsten suggests) to
have an AllPages plugin which could sort the results by all the columns
provided (Hits, Name, Modification, Locked etc).  Adding a column for
number of edits would be good information as well.

Regardless of implementation though I think the information would be
great to have.

[Phpwiki-talk] Multiple templates?

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

Hi,

Is there a way to view the same information in two different ways 
without duplicating the entire phpwiki directory and customising the 
templates in both?  I'm thinking of the usual 'online browsing' page 
vs a 'formatted for print' version.

John.

[Phpwiki-talk] LeastPopular pages

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

Is there any need for a LeastPopular page/plugin, to show which pages are 
not visited often?  That might help admins to determine what can be 
deleted.  They may also promote PageChurning (which is probably a 
GoodThing).  Visitors will be able to see what pages have not been visited 
in a while, visit them, and maybe add something useful.  After a while, the 
really bad pages would rise to the top, and can be deleted.

Similarly, what about a plugin showing which pages have not been edited for 
a long time?

They would be easy to code (eg using a negative "limit" argument to the 
MostPopular/RecentChanges plugins), but I'm just wondering if anyone thinks 
they would be useful.

My own view is that they may be worth having.

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] screenshots of alpha phpwiki (sidebar theme)

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

Adam,

Yes the black line is really the <hr> after the date.

According to your snapshots then, it seems Konquorer is the only browser 
so far to correctly render that! I tried p.editdate { margin-bottom: 
0ex; } and no browser honours it. Only with p.editdate { margin-bottom: 
-1ex; } could I get the space after the date to disappear, so I'm going to 
just set it to 0 instead of -1.

Also some work will have to be done so the logo doesn't overlap in the 
sidebar theme, I'm going to move the actionbar and navbar down a bit. Some 
browsers like ie allow html img align to override css, so I'm not suprised 
that it doesn't always move over to the left.

Carsten

[Phpwiki-talk] VersionData cache

[Lawrence A. <Law...@th...>]

A warning to all lovers of beautiful code.  DO NOT LOOK IN 
WikiDB.php in the cvs.  I have begun to implement a version data 
cache.  It works at the moment (I think), and shaves about 7 or 8% off 
execution times.  But it is a very basic hack at the moment.  Watch this 
space ...

I was prompted in this direction by an examination of adodb degug 
output, which revealed that the same SQL query was being executed 
at least three times for each simple page load.  The overhead on a 
page such as RecentChanges was significant.

As ever, any comments/queries/reprimands (eg don't touch that again 
...) welcome

a wiki word is two words smashed together with the first letter of each
work being a capital letter.  it's also sometimes called camel case.

You seem to be implying the underlying problem has been fixed in 1.3? 
That would be very good.  In fact, this particular problem has kept
me from upgrading to 1.3 for some time:  I didn't understand why,
after unloading my pages from the 1.2 wiki and loading them back
into 1.3, more than half of my pages were gone.  Then I tried
migrating using serialized pages.  This time all of the pages
seemed to be copied, but the meta data was lost.  Plus, all of the
pages ended up being locked, which is painful.

After applying the "emtpy page zipdump fix", I have now successfully 
migrated to 1.3.2.

Yes, that has always been a problem in 1.2.x (PHP warnings corrupting

[Phpwiki-talk] Empty pages result in corrupt zip-dumps 1.2.2

[Campo W. <rf...@nl...>]

Hi all,
First off, let me tell you I'm having lots of fun with phpWiki since
last summer.  This is a great tool, and I find myself using it all
the time, both at home and at work.

However, I think I have hit a bug in the ziplib.  When unloading my
1.2.2 wiki (DBA based) to a ZIP file, it creates corrupt zip files.
On closer examination, it turns out that some PHP error messages get
written to the ZIP verbatim.  Here is an example:

(page content omitted...)^M
<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  Variable passed to reset() is not an array or
object in <b>/usr/local/cgi/dbmwiki/lib/ziplib.php</b> on line
<b>533</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  Variable passed to each() is not an array or object
in <b>/usr/local/cgi/dbmwiki/lib/ziplib.php</b> on line
<b>534</b><br />
PK^C^D^T^@ (header of next file follows...)

This happens on 3 out of 296 pages.
Needless to say the resulting ZIP can't be correctly read.

Looking at these messages I figured it might be caused by empty
pages, so I tried this patch, which seems to solve the problem.
