[Phpwiki-talk] yet another strange problem with themes

[Arnaud F. <ar...@cr...>]

Hi all,

I was migrating a 1.3.4/gdbm running wiki using my own theme to a cvs
export version with MySQL as a backend.

I finally managed to import all versions of the pages ! How ? Just
increasing the upload max size in the config.ini and adding 'override =
1' in the hidden action array in the WikiForm plugin ...

Well ... this was the first step ...

Then, I wanted to look if my 1.3.4 homebrew theme (the igenerator.net
theme ... don't go look at it, you'll understand why reading a few more
lines) was still working in the current CVS, what adjustemets I had too
do, etc. 

Oh, btw, as I run a wikifarm, with each wiki on it's own host name, I
run it outside the phpwiki directory and made the corresponding
modifications to index.php and to my config.ini ...

I linked the various themes inside the local 'themes' directory (I also
tried copying them there ...) and, with the exception of the Crao theme
working just fine this way, I always have the default theme displaying.

I already noted on previous versions that phpwiki always looks to the
themes files inside the phpwiki installation directory (that's why I
link and do not copy) ... and don't tell me it's a feature ... I also
noted that the UserPreferences looks to the list of themes in this
directory and not in the local themes directory ...

Any clue ????

gdbm locking problems also? those php guys should be beaten!

local import would have been much faster. just give source=... to 
action=loadfile. anyway.
upload is not very good.

where do you want it? we don't want to support local themes dirs.
it is not necessary, even not for big farms.

or do you really want for every wikifarm'ed wiki a different theme with 
the same name? same names are forbidden.
if so, I would copy Crao for every locally wanted and extendable theme 
within the themes dir.  just give them a useful name.
can even be autogenerated from the domain or username. (adjust it in the 
theme loader)
and if you want the wiki admins give access to their theme, just symlink 
it to their homedir and give them the file perms.

For the themes loader see below:
So either PHPWIKI_DIR is empty or wrong. NormalizeLocalFileName is in 
FileFinder.php, and adds PHPWIKI_DIR if defined.

function Theme ($theme_name = 'default') {
   $this->_name = $theme_name;
   $this->_themes_dir = NormalizeLocalFileName("themes");
   $this->_path  = defined('PHPWIKI_DIR') ? NormalizeLocalFileName("") : "";
   $this->_theme = "themes/$theme_name";

   if ($theme_name != 'default')
      $this->_default_theme = new Theme;
      $this->_css = array();
}

No. But a gdbm based wiki is VERY slow on RecentChanges, for exemple,
when you are around 1000 pages. Or you need a damned amount of RAM ...
Only have 1.5 GB on my server.

Yes but how do you specify the admin login and password ??
http://user:pass@site/ ??

hmmm .... is PHPWIKI_DIR your wiki local dir or your phpwiki install dir
???

I might have misunderstood this since ... the very begining :)


But well ...

The real problem is : when I use my migrated theme, phpwiki ALWAYS
switches to the default theme.

I tried with some other themes like sidebar, wordpress, crao, etc ...
they are all fine. And when I try wikilens theme ... it switches to the
default theme ...

Did you change some fundamental stuffs in the theme API ??

hmm, I always test with about 1500 pages, with various databases.
also db3 and gdbm. And I have only 500MB physical RAM. But this is on 
windows.

what for?
edit config/config.ini (define the DATABASE_TYPE and optionally the 
DATABASE_DSN)

browse to http://mywiki/PhpWikiAdministration
sign in as admin,
scroll to [ Load File ]
enter the local filesystem path to the saved pgsrc dir and click on [ 
Load File ].

or as shortcut, use 
http://mywiki/?action=loadfile&source=/home/user/phpwiki/pgsrc&overwrite=1

I always have only one php source directory. with one themes directory. 
Just variosu starter scripts, and optionally various config.ini.

Yes, I renamed $Theme to $WikiTheme.

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

I'm struggling to make almost the exact same transition on my wiki at
hollenback.net, from 1.3.4/gdbm to cvs w/ mysql.

I found that when I did the upload, two problems occurred:

1. The upload would hang forever on a certain page.  I removed that page
and the upload then processed all the files.  I will submit a bugreport
on sourceforge with the page that failed, if anyone wants to test it.

2. For some reason, every revision of the page except the first one was
rejected with a message about "conflicting edits".  Arnaud, is this the
same problem you speak of?  If so, could you please tell me exactly what
I need to modify in WikiForm.php to force the upload?

I was able to get all my pages into the new wiki by first ftping all the
files to the server and then using Load File instead of Upload File in
PhpWikiAdministration.  Then on the result page, I had to click on the
"ignore conflicts" button for each page.

That was pretty tedious for 500 wiki pages.

By the way, that Crao theme is fantastic.

Any help making my uploads work more smoothly would be appreciated.

Thanks,
P.

sure :)
I'm thinking of a new [Overwrite All] button at the generated
loading page. This would cause less trouble.

> By the way, that Crao theme is fantastic.

Yes.
There are still some minor MSIE issues, and minor bugs in some templates.

> Any help making my uploads work more smoothly would be appreciated.

I usually do this manually with the url:

action=loadsave&source=/home/my/phpwiki/pgsrc&overwrite=1

There's also a new button in PhpWikiAdministration (cvs)
which adds the overwrite option.
[         ] [ Load & Overwrite ]

But for this you have to call Update before (or action=update), which 
will update your local PhpWikiAdministration page.
