[Phpwiki-talk] upgrading for new features?

[Philip J. H. <ph...@ho...>]

I'm running a 1.2 phpwiki on my site, www.hollenback.net.  I am very
interested in upgrading to the develomment version for two reasons:

1. file uploads.  I want to be able to upload files (pictures) through
   the wiki and then use them in wiki pages.

2. tables.  I'm putting a lot of pictures in my wiki, and not having
   tables makes the layout very difficult.  Since this is a public
   site, I'm not going to turn on html in pages either.

So are these two things available in the development version?  I know
there is a patch available for tables, but has it been integrated?

Is the development version usable and stable?

I'm trying to determine if it is worthwile to upgrade at this point to
get the new features, or if I should wait and work with what I have
now.

Thanks,

P.

The current CVS code does include the table mark-up.  It does not
include support for file uploads.

It's usable now.  As for stable: it's about to go through a very large 
refactoring, involving big changes to the php code as well as 
the database schema.  So no, it's not stable, at least not for long.

Thanks for the info.  Does anyone have any suggestions for how to
implement file uploads given the current phpwiki framework?  ftp or
something?

If I can figure that out, phpwiki will really work great as a web
photo album.  As it is right now I have to manually upload all my
images to the server first before I can use them in my wiki.

It sounds like I should stay with 1.2 until the development branch
stabilizes a bit.  I will perhaps apply the tables patch for 1.2 as
that seems to work ok.

I've been trying to figure out how to turn a wiki into a *good* photo
album for a while.  I think the plugin stuff and file uploads could do
most of it.

For file uploads i'd like files associated with a particular page, and
each page should have a list of the files associated at the bottom (the
way twiki does it is pretty cool).

Then for the actual gallery maybe a new page type (maybe pages like this
GalleryAdamBirthday2001) and then have the gallery plugin parse the
attached files into a gallery format.  The best I can think of is have the
plugin automatically generate thumbnails if they don't already exist and
then take arguemtns for display values:

<?plugin Gallery AutoThumb=yes Columns=4 Thumbs=128x128 ?>

Clicking on a thumbnail would then pop the full size picture up in a new
window, and the new window would also allow you to go from picture to
picture slide show fashion.

having some way to reference images in the gallery could also be useful
(maybe via some InterWiki magic?) so you can referrence full size pictures
or the thumbnails via wiki links for inclusion in other pages.

anyway, still just thinking outloud.

The code, of course, is already out there...

http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/bealers20000904.php3

This could be tied to a special form for uploading files... how to
reference them, though, would have to be worked out. Possibly we could
just allow the filename in brackets [foo.jpg] to look in the directory
where image files are uploaded, and it gets dropped in.

Good points, I also want to add one more:

- Subscribing for page changes. Posibility to subscribe to a page and if
this page changes send an email alert to the user for going to the page.

But I think this could belong to auth.
