[Phpwiki-talk] Migrating to 1.2

[Barnett, P. G <Pau...@Br...>]

We've been running 1.1.9 for a while, and like it, but now want to migrate to
1.2 - we have recently changed apache from php3 to php4 

In config.php it says that for php4, I must use 'dba' (or default , which does
the same) where I was using 'dbm' for php3.

However, dbalib.php does not have the new functions RemovePage, GetWikiPageLinks or SetWikiPageLinks, which means that some of the
new functionality is not available.(5 best...., remove page, etc)
They are in dbmlib.php, and if I force use of dbmlib in php4, it seems to work.

Must I absolutely use dba in php4, and therefore loose the new functions?

Am I risking anythink by forcing 'dbm' ?

What is the recommended way to migrate the database - If I just keep the dbm
files, I dont see the recent changes to things like ReleaseNotes - I could just cut and paste from a pristine 1.2 but this seems crude - Is there a 
better way?

And is there still an admin functions index.php somewhere? - I cannot find it.

[Phpwiki-talk] 1.2 out now!

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

I'd like to thank Ari, Jeff, and especially Arno for all the amazing
contributions they've made this past year. There would be no 1.2 release
without them.

See https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpwiki/. You can also get 1.2 off
the home page, http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/.

~swain

From the ReleaseNotes:

   PhpWiki 1.2 is a huge advance over version 1.0:
     * Database support for MySQL, Postgresql, mSQL, flat file and the
       new dba_ library in PHP4 is included.
     * Internationalization: support for different languages, down to the
       source level, is included. German, Spanish, Swedish and Dutch are
       currently shipped with PhpWiki. An architecture is in place to
       easily add more languages.
     * New linking schemes using square brackets in addition to the old
       style BumpyText.
     * Administration features include page locking, dumping the Wiki to
       a zip file, and deleting pages.
     * A MostPopular page showing the most frequently hit pages.
     * Full HTML compliance.
     * Links at the bottom of pages describing relationships like
       incoming links from other pages and their hits, outgoing and their
       hits, and the most popular nearby pages.
     * Color page diffs between the current and previous version.
     * An info page to view page metadata.
     * Far more customization capability for the admin.
     * A templating system to separate the page HTML from the PHP code.
     * New markup constructs for <B>, <I>, <DD>, <BR> and more.
     * Tabless markup to supercede the older markup (both still
       supported).

I'll try. I have to test msql next, flat file, generate the ChangeLog,
update CREDITS, compose a release note, update the ReleaseNotes page, and
a dozen other things I can't think of right now :-)

Originally we had a plan to add a page like MostPopular that listed the
pages that had been edited the most, in recent days. Thus it would be the
"hot topics" on the Wiki. It hasn't been implemented yet.

I think AgregarPaginas was not all in Espa=F1ol, but I can't bring it back
up again.

[Phpwiki-talk] Installation of spanish (the actual spanish)

[Pablo R. R. <pr...@cl...>]

Hi,

this task was done at datablocks

1. In the first run the phpwiki inserted the pages in the db, but I get this
error in
every page inserted:

Warning: Cannot set time limit in safe mode in
/usr/home/sites/proca/web/phpwiki/lib/setupwiki.php on line 31

I know this is a server issue, but I think you can do in two ways:

   a) removing that 31 line or
   b) writing that in some secure servers you can get this error and saying
that
      this can be ignored

2. Spanish Search Page don't works. Ypu can see this in action at:

http://portalfox.datablocks.net/phpwiki

I think is a template issue in the es locale ... yes! at
locale/es/templates/browse.html.

3. PhpWikiAdministration is not in the current es locale. Must I translate
this file
and put in locale/es/pgsrc ?

Regards,

Pablo Roca (pr...@cl...)

[Phpwiki-talk] Request for translators

To all maintainers of translations of PhpWiki:

If you could run through the steps of downloading a nightly build and
doing an install from scratch (with a new database, which is very
important... I've missed a lot of bugs in the past by using an existing
database) it would be greatly appreciated.

If possible do this in the next 24 hours; if there are no bugs in the
current nightly build, it should only take you about five minutes.

I've put back in Jan Hidder's mods for dbmlib.php, and they seem to test
ok so far. dbalib.php is not as cooperative though, and I haven't gotten
the mods to carry over.

Tomorrow night I'm going to do a lot of testing. If you want to help,
download the nightly build and put it through the paces for your favorite
database.

Be sure to check:

Yes. This is a normal ISP issue. Your ISP has set PHP in safe
mode. This means that you can't store environment variables that
doesn't begin with the prefix stored in the variable
safe_mode_allowed_env_vars in the php configuration file (/etc/php.ini
on my RedHat system). That prefix is usually PHP_

The LANG environment variable is used when you want translations of
PhpWiki.

[Phpwiki-talk] Cannot set environment variable 'LANG'

Hi,

Without doing nothing I get this error:

"Warning: Safe Mode: Cannot set environment variable 'LANG' - it's not in
the allowed list in /home/user/p/r/o/proca/www/lib/config.php on line 140"

and in config php line 140 the code is:

I use the default lang C , I think this is a ISP issue nd I asked him for
this error, but till now no replies.

you can see this at:

http://proca.nexen.net/phpwiki.php

But the phpwiki works well, .... I think. :)

Now some questions:

1. What is supposed to be this LANG set? Just for installing?
2. What will happen if I comment this line?
 ???

Hi Mickey!

No, there aren't any older versions that don't use preg() functions. It
would be *really hard* to rewrite preg() function calls to ereg() function
calls, about as hard as copying a dictionary with typewriter instead of a
photocopier.

Unfortunately I don't think we can help you here.. you need to upgrade
your version of PHP. I really don't want to say that, but we just cannot
support sites without preg().

Good luck,
Steve

I can't install phpwiki on my site because "preg_match()" is not implemented. I'm on altern.org (in France)

Is there an expert on the mailing list who tried to do that ? Or is there an old version of wiki whit these "regular expressions", or another script (not as good as phpwiki) working on my (old  fashioned ?) site ?

Thanks a lot

If two people edit a page the first one to save the page wins.
The second one gets a "page updated meanwhile - please redo your edits."
Just test it out yourself. Edit SandBox, edit it again in another window.
Save first window, save second window.

I don't like locking a page. My public wiki at senseis.xmp.net gets=20
mirrored by "wget" maybe once a week (I don't know how to prevent that). =
If=20
I'd lock pages for e.g. 30 minutes then essentially a wget would lock up=20
the whole wiki for 30 minutes or more.

Other than that there's a real "lock page" which prevents any edits excep=
t=20
for admins.

I attach the latest Swedish translation. It is up to date with the
nightly build of today. I have proofread the translation a couple of
times but there are surely something wrong.

I still can't get any translations to work with my Linux computer with
PHP4 at home. They work OK at school though with PHP3 (without

Nothing, really. This is an open source project :-)

I still haven't debugged the bugs I introduced to Jan Hidder's patch for
the DBM lib; but I'm glad we delayed because the problem with PHP4.0.0 was
solved, and that was a Good Thing.

Release date is February 1st. I'll send out calls for testing. I recently
set up MySQL on my home box, so I was going to try that out.

[Phpwiki-talk] new flag: system page

[Arno H. <aho...@xm...>]

Steve et. al.,

I was thinking about adding cookies for user names, when I realized how I=
=20
implemented this feature in gowiki.

Basically, once we introduce preferences, it has to be possible to have o=
ne=20
<FORM> where everything is set with one SUBMIT button. Howver, with the=20
traditional command for input boxes via a %%...%% this is impossible.

So, what I did for GoWiki is this: I added a flag called "SYSTEM_PAGE".
What it does it quite a hack (but not necessarily a bad one):

a) System pages allow HTML per default (however, not in the way like the
   current "|" tag is implemented - instead it tokenizes everything in
   between "<..>" -- maybe this should be adopted for regular HTML as wel=
l?)

b) after processing the wikipage the content itself is put through
   GeneratePage() just like a template. Thus it's possible to use
   placeholders like ###SCRIPTURL### *inside* the wiki page.

I'm not sure you'd like to have such a behaviour for phpwiki.
It could be useful though. So if you think this a reasonable hack, then
I'll commit the necessary changes. It also would rid us of these %%ADMIN-=
=2E..
placeholders.


/Arno

p.s. the cookie page could look like this in wiki-markup:

Preferences work by sending a cookie to your browser.

Every item is completely optional.
<FORM METHOD=3DPOST ACTION=3D"###SCRIPTURL###">
------------
<INPUT TYPE=3Dsubmit name=3Dpreferences value=3D"Set preferences">
------------
__UserName__: <INPUT NAME=3D"pref_username" SIZE=3D20>

The UserName will show up in RecentChanges and at the bottom of
each page as the user who last edited the page. If the corresponding page=
=20
exists within SL, then your name will also be linked.
-----------
</FORM>

This is not currently possible. If you need a quick fix, then enable HTML=

Tables may be an optional module once we have restructured phpwiki.
