[Phpwiki-talk] Version Criteria

[Sergio T. <ser...@ho...>]

I have been traversing through the PHPWiki documenation using PHPDocumentor 
on the the .php files in /lib ... and have also been looking at data entered 
into the six PHWiki tables created with MySQL. Its not clear, so I'm 
wondering if anyone knows what the criteria is for a major version compared 
to a minor version (associated with the "latestmajor" and "latestminor" 
attributes in the recent table)?

On the related topic of versioning, what happens if, in the version table, 
the value of the minor_edit attribute exceeds 256 characters (I.e., tinyint 
if unsigned has a range of 0 to 255)?

I think - I might be wrong - that if, when editing a page, you tick the 
box saaying "this is a minor update", then that's the criteria.
Well, at least in version 1.3.4

With the proviso that I run a (fairly recent) CVS PhpWiki:

If I make a page and you edit it then that's a major edit (unless you tick
the "minor edit" checkbox, as you mentioned).

If I make a page and then edit that page again then that's a minor edit
(unless I untick the "minor edit" checkbox").

If I make a page and don't edit the page for a long time (the exact time is
configurable, but I think it defaults to something like 7 days) and then
edit it again, that's a major edit.

Those are the major cases, at any rate - I'm not sure if my list is
exhaustive.

As to the number of minor edits, this is configurable in index.php (look for
MINOR_EDIT_TIMEOUT and the like), but the default behaviour is quite
sensible. Using the SystemInfo plugin, mine is left as the default
configuration, which is this:

"Keep up to 8 major edits, but keep them no longer than 32 days. Keep up to
4 minor edits, but keep them no longer than 7 days. Keep the latest
contributions of the last 8 authors up to 365 days. Additionally, try to
keep the latest contributions of all authors in the last 7 days (even if
there are more than 8 of them,) but in no case keep more than 20 unique
author revisions."

In other words, you should never get to have 256 minor edits on a page - the
older edits will be discarded. Not your changes, obviously!
