I've never seen this... all the links go to FrontPage. It's really weird.

No, that would have no effect for this problem... it has nothing to do
with the archive table.

So far I can't figure out why it does this. Is there something nonstandard
with your PHP setup? Do you use the CGI wrapper thing, for example? Have
you edited any of the files like display.php or transform.php? It looks
like you are using the 1.2 version of PhpWiki.

[Phpwiki-talk] Re: Upgrade script for PhpWiki 1.0 -> 1.2

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

I just picked up on this again... you mentioned it previously but it went
under my radar: you're using the nightly build, which is alpha software!
Try installing 1.2 instead, which is stable and recommended:

http://download.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/phpwiki-1.2.0.tar.gz

I think your formatting problems and page editing problems will go away if
you use 1.2 instead. The nightly build has a radically different rendering
engine that doesn't support the old markup language; 1.2 does though.

[Phpwiki-talk] Upgrade script for PhpWiki 1.0 -> 1.2

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

OK, this is a fine example of cut and paste programming, but it works OK
for the test sites I used. I set up brand new 1.0 and 1.2 sites, and
converted the 1.0 dbm files to 1.2 dbm files and it seems to work fine.

This should be integrated with the admin functionality; in fact in the
first version of the admin functionality it was (there is still a script
in the admin/ directory called wiki_port1_0.php) but it no longer works.

This script should be self explanatory; all you need to do is set the
variables at the beginning of the script that point to the DBM files, both
old and new. It will open the 1.0 file as read-only, for your peace of
mind ;-)

After you run the script you will have new DBM files; edit the config.php
file for your 1.2 installation to use them (I used the default names so
this should be easy).

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Question about diff?

Hi Toan,

Right now PhpWiki will only save the last version of the page. We are now
planning on adding the ability to keep multiple versions in the archive.

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] Wiki URLs

The part of the URL after the CGI script name ('/PhpWiki' in the above
example) is available in the $PATH_INFO environment variable.

Note that with some minor tricks, you can also set up the latest
alpha version of PhpWiki to use URLs like:

  http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/alpha/PhpWiki

There's more discussion on this topic at:

 http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php?PageNamesInPathInfo


The easiest way to get this feature is probably to "upgrade" to
the alpha version.  There's a nightly snapshot at:
 ftp://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/pub/phpwiki/phpwiki.nightly.tar.gz

If you don't want to "upgrade", you can look at the code in the alpha
version to see how it's done.


(The alpha version has been pretty static for the past couple of weeks,
so if you grab a snapshot right now, it should be sort of "stable".)

Steve: Maybe there should be a alpha release?  (Also a 1.2.1 release? ---
but I guess maybe we should fix the case sensitivity in page-name bugs
first.)

[Phpwiki-talk] Wiki URLs

[Malcolm R. <mal...@cs...>]

I notice that the alpha version of PhpWiki allows URLS like:

http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/alpha/index.php/PhpWiki

instead of:

http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/alpha/index.php?PhpWiki

I would like to be able to do this on my NomicWiki. Could you please explain
how it was achieved?

[Phpwiki-talk] Upgrading from 1.0 to 1.2

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

Right. It's been so long since the issue of upgrading from 1.0 to 1.1.x
came up, I'd forgotten all about the issues.

The small problem is that we renamed the page field in the database; it
was called "text" and we renamed it to "content" to get around the problem
that "text" is a keyword in most RDBMSs.

I will work on a PHP script to convert a 1.0 database to a 1.2 (read the
old one, write a new one).

I can't find any discussion of upgrading from 1.03 to 1.1.x in the list

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] size of the database

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

Hi Didier,

Do you mean the install process didn't work right? Or your wiki just has a
lot of pages now?

Speed has never been a high priority with PhpWiki since it's usually used
by small groups of people. I think we will look at ways of serving pages
faster in the next release later this year.

In the meantime you might start hacking PhpWiki yourself! :-)

Actually, yes; Netscape has a 32k limit in most versions [though not all].
Internet explorer has no limit that I've  found [and have some pages over
100k]. The netscape limit is rather annoying -- the text box becomes

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] limits of the textarea

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

>  Is there a limit to the size of the textarea when I edit a page ?

Do you mean size on your screen or do you mean a limit on how much 
text you can put in a textarea?

The size on screen is set by the rows= and cols= attributes in the
textarea tag.   If you want to change these in phpwiki 1.2.0, you
need to edit templates/editpage.html.  If the development branch,
individual users can set the size of the textarea by visiting
the UserPreferences page.

There is a limit to how much text you can type into a textarea.
I know I read about this on some other wiki (Meatball?) but can't
find the reference right now.  I believe the limit is due to a
limit imposed on the total (encoded) size of form post data
by several well known browsers.  I cannot remember what the limit

Hello,

  Is there a limit to the size of the textarea when I edit a page ?

Thanks

Re: [Phpwiki-talk] date output

[Reini U. <ru...@x-...>]

win2000:

on cygwin (latest) all these date commands just do the C locale.

but php is better: 
I use the [2001-02-20] php4.0.5-dev testbranch (the second i guess, but locale
stuff didn't change) 
from the german binary download site http://www.mm4.de/php4win/.

<dl>
<dt>php version:</dt><dd><b><?php print phpversion()?></b></dd>
<dt>server api:</dt><dd><b><?php print function_exists("php_sapi_name") ?
php_sapi_name() : "unable to detect" ?></b></dd>
<dt>system:</dd><dd><b><?php print function_exists("php_uname") ? php_uname()
: "unable to detect" ?></b></dd>

<?php 
function testlctime ($loc) {
  setlocale ("LC_TIME", $loc); 
  echo "<dt>$loc:</dt><dd><b>";
  echo strftime ("%a., %d. %b %Y - %x %X", time());
  echo "</b></dd>";
}
testlctime ("de");      // wrong
testlctime ("de_AT");	// wrong
testlctime ("de_DE");	// wrong
testlctime ("deutsch");	// wrong
testlctime ("german");  // okay
?>

>Suse v?? glibc-2.1

I suspect all glibc-2.x's will work similarly.  Older libc's (and
non glibc's, I don't know about.)

>$LANG=de date "+%x %X"   
>03/15/01 02:06:00

That's a failure (just like I saw in my tests).  It's can't find 'de',
so the locale defaults to "C".  You can be even more sure of this
by printing the day-name:

LANG=de_DE date +%A
Mittwoch

LANG=de date +%A
Wednesday

So tell me again: which of these worked under which version(s) of
Windows?

I just tested an older SunOS machine: 'de' and 'de_AT' worked, but NOT
'de_DE' nor 'german' nor 'deutsch'.  Ug.

oh yes.

on bash only. that's fine, thanks!

Suse v?? glibc-2.1
 
$LANG=de_AT date "+%x %X" 
2001-03-15 02:05:44
$LANG=de_DE date "+%x %X"  
15.03.2001 02:05:55
$LANG=de date "+%x %X"   
03/15/01 02:06:00
$LANG=german date "+%x %X"  
15.03.2001 02:06:04
$LANG=deutsch date "+%x %X"      
15.03.2001 02:06:11

strange, but okay for me. austrians seem to favor standards :)

everything works okay. 
I tested it in my first php project ever (a movie database) and 
there my problems were probably just my mistake.

Okay, I think I have a working example, (moved to the SandBox).
http://buyorganic.org/live?SandBox

I just tried to create the BioDemocracyNews page, using the following
input source (for reference): http://buyorganic.org/wiki/biodemocracy

PhpWiki responded 'thank you' (which I saved with lynx).
[Excerpt from the 'success' page follows...]

   Thank you for editing BioDemocracyNews.
   Your careful attention to detail is much appreciated.

   BIODEMOCRACY NEWS Issue # 32 March, 2001 by Ronnie Cummins A
...snip...

However, the page was not actually saved.  Instead a blank page
exists in it's place.  A dump of the database shows:

   FoodClub ... 1639 bytes written
   BioDemocracyNews ... 7 bytes written
   SandBox ... 434 bytes written

The BioDemocracyNews file only contains: s:0:"";

Again, I think this might have happened because of some high-ascii
characters; perhaps an (R) after STARBUCKS (or something).  I haven't
looked at the code to see why it reports success incorrectly though(?)

Do you think it would be a good idea to switch our backend to MySQL?
(I've also seen inconsistent results in the MostPopular page.)

Thanks,
-jeb

PS: Any ideas why these extra 5 byte entries exist in the dump?

   FindPage ... 1114 bytes written
   MountainPeoplesOrderr ... 5 bytes written
   MountainPeoplesOrderr ... 5 bytes written
   MountainPeoplesOrderr ... 5 bytes written
   MountainPeoplesOrder ... 3785 bytes written

The MountainPeoplesOrderr dump file contains: i:-1;
