This version reverts the way existing Page Variables are processed, like version 2.2.21 or earlier, but it adds a special variable $authpage which can be used in Page Var? definitions. It is the same as the $page array, but exists only if the visitor has read permissions. For example, an administrator can set to config.php:
$FmtPV
['$LastModifiedSummary'] = '@$authpage["csum"]'; # instead of '@$page["csum"]'
Then, the edit summary metadata will only be available if the user has read permissions.
This version sets the default value of $EnablePageVarAuth
to 0 until we investigate a reported problem with authentication.
This version adds the variable $EnableXLPageScriptLoad
which, if set to 0, will prevent authors to load scripts from XL Page? and to accidentally change the encoding of the wiki. If you use it, make sure you include the required files, eg. xlpage-utf-8.php from local config files.
Page Variables should now respect authentications: without read permissions, the title, description, change summary, author of a protected page are unavailable. Page Variables that are computed without reading the page are still available (eg. $Group, $Namespaced, $Version etc.). Administrators can revert the previous behavior by adding to config.php such a line:
$EnablePageVarAuth
= 0;
Due to a mis-configuration of a local svn repository, some of the changes intended for 2.2.20 didn't make it in the correct branch. This release corrects this.
This version fixes a potential XSS vulnerability, reported today. An Auth User bug with excluding users from authgroups was fixed. A new Inter Map prefix Pm L10n?: was added, it leads to the Localization section on Pm Wiki.org and should help the work of translators. A couple of other minor bugs were fixed and the documentation was updated.
This is a documentation-update release.
This version fixes 3 minor bugs, and updates the documentation.
This version adds a variable $PostConfig containing functions and scripts to be loaded after stdconfig.php. Tabindex was added as a valid form field attribute. Protected downloads now respect existing browser caches. Auth User now allows more flexible cookbook recipe integration. A couple of bugs were fixed and the documentation was updated.
This version fixes a bug with parsing html attributes which could allow XSS injection. Wikis allowing unprotected editing are encouraged to upgrade.
A bug with the "center" button of the GUI edit toolbar was corrected.
The "exists" conditional now accepts wildcards, for example:
(:if exists Main.*:)There are pages in the Main group (:if:)
The documentation was updated.
This version adds some minor bugfixes and optimizations notably a bug with (:template none:)
introduced in the last version 2.2.14.
This release corrects inline styles for Wiki Trail? links. Undefined include/template {$$variables}
are now removed from the included section, like Page(Text)Variables, and can be used in conditional expressions. If needed, this change can be reverted by adding to config.php such a line:
$EnableUndefinedTemplateVars = 1; # keep and display unset {$$variables}
Page List? templates now accept the sections !first
and !last
for markup to appear for every page in list except the first or last one.
"Title" attributes were added to external links. You can have tooltip titles on external links, including Inter Map and attachments, by adding the link title in double quotes after the URL:
[[http://www.pmwiki.org"Home of PmWiki"| External link]]
For international wikis, Pm Wiki now automatically translates the titles of technical pages like Group Attributes? or Recent Changes -- just define these strings as usual in XL Page?, for example, in French:
'All Recent Changes?' => 'Tous les changements récents',
Some minor optimizations were done and the documentation was updated.
This release fixes a bug with $DiffKeepNum
introduced in 2.2.10 -- the count of revisions was incorrect and a page could drop more revisions than it should.
The page history layout was modified with a rough consensus in the community. The history now defaults to "source" view with word-level highlighting of the differences. Authors can see the changes in rendered output by clicking on the link "Show changes to output". Admins can switch back the default by adding such a line to config.php:
$DiffShow['source'] = (@$_REQUEST['source']=='y')?'y':'n';
To disable word-level highlighting and show plain text changes:
$EnableDiffInline
= 0;
In the page history rendering, a few minor bugs were fixed and the code was slightly optimized.
The documentation was updated.
This release adds simple word-level highlighting of differences in the page history, when "Show changes to markup" is selected. To enable the feature, add to config.php such a line:
$EnableDiffInline
= 1;
This feature is like what the Inline Diff? recipe provides, but not exactly the same, and the implementation is simpler. It is enabled on Pm Wiki.org and can be improved -- your comments are welcome.
This release adds two new table directives for header cells, (:head:) and (:headnr:). They work the same way as (:cell:) and (:cellnr:) except that create <th> instead of <td> html tags.
The pagerev.php script was refactored into separate functions to allow easier integration of recipes displaying the page history.
A couple of minor bugs were fixed and the documentation was updated.
Most important in this release is the official change of $EnableRelativePageVars
to 1. The change is about how {$Variable} in included pages is understood by Pm Wiki.
$EnableRelativePageVars
is set to 0, {$Name} displays the name of the currently browsed page. Even if {$Name} is in an included page, it will display the name of the browsed page.
$EnableRelativePageVars
is set to 1, {$Name} displays the name of the physical page where it written. If {$Name} is in an included page, it will display the name of the included page.
$EnableRelativePageVars
.
So, if your wiki relies on page variables from included pages, and doesn't have $EnableRelativePageVars
set to 1, after upgrading to 2.2.9, you can revert to the previous behavior by adding to config.php such a line:
$EnableRelativePageVars
= 0;
More information about page variables can be found at:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PageVariables
This release adds a new variable $EnablePageTitlePriority
which defines how to treat multiple (:title..:) directives. If set to 1, the first title directive will be used, and if a page defines a title, directives from included pages cannot override it. Pm Wiki default is 0, for years, the last title directive was used (it could come from an included page or Group Footer).
This release also adds a new variable $DiffKeepNum
, specifying the minimum number (default 20) of edits that will be kept even if some of them are older than the limit of $DiffKeepDays
.
A number of bugs were fixed and the documentation was updated.
This release fixes another PHP 5.3 compatibility issue with conditional markup. The Author field now handles apostrophes correctly. The documentation was updated.
This release fixes most PHP 5.3 compatibility issues. Unfortunately some specific builds for Windows may still have problems, which are unrelated to Pm Wiki. Notably, on Windows, all passwords need to be 4 characters or longer.
Upload names with spaces are now correctly quoted. The documentation was updated.
With this release it is now possible to display recently uploaded files to the Recent Changes pages -- if you have been using the Recent Uploads Log? recipe, please uninstall it and follow the instructions at http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/RecentUploadsLog.
The release also introduces $MakeUploadNamePatterns
to allow custom filename normalization for attachements. It is now possible to replace $PageListFilters and $FPLTemplateFunctions with custom functions. Notify should now work in safe_mode. Some bugs were fixed, among which one with conditional markup with dates. The documentation was updated.
This release adds a new markup for Pagelist templates, (:template none:)
which allows a message to be set when the search found no pages. The FPL Template?() function was broken into configurable sub-parts to allow development hooks. A number of bugs were fixed, and the documentation was updated.
This release fixes a bug introduced earlier today with HTML entities in XL Pages?.
This release fixes six potential XSS vulnerabilities, reported by Michael Engelke. The vulnerabilities may affect wikis open for editing and may allow the injection of external Java Scripts? in their pages. Public open wikis should upgrade.
A new variable $EnableUploadGroupAuth
was added; if set to 1, it allows password-protected uploads to be checked against the Group password.
It is now possible to use @_site_edit, @_site_read, @_site_admin
or @_site_upload
global passwords in Group Attributes? pages.
A number of other small bugs were fixed, and the documentation was updated.
The major news in this release is a fix of an Auth User vulnerability.
The vulnerability affects only wikis that (1) rely on the Auth User core module for User:Password authentication, -AND- (2) where the PHP installation runs with the variable "magic_quotes_gpc" disabled.
All Pm Wiki 2.1.x versions from pmwiki-2.1.beta6 on, all 2.2.betaX, 2.2.0, and 2.2.1 are affected.
The Pm Wiki SiteAnalyzer? can detect if your wiki needs to upgrade:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/SiteAnalyzer
If your wiki is vulnerable, you should do one of the following at the earliest opportunity:
Alternatively, you can temporarily disable Auth User until you upgrade.
Note that even if your wiki does not have the Auth User vulnerability at the moment, you are strongly encouraged to upgrade to Pm Wiki version 2.2.2 or later, as some future configuration of your hosting server might put you at risk.
This release also comes with minor updates in the local documentation; fixes
were applied for international wikis - notably global variables in
xlpage-utf-8.php and a new variable $EnableNotifySubjectEncode
, which allows
e-mail clients to correctly display the Subject header; and a number of other
small bugs were fixed.
This release comes with an updated local documentation; wiki trails now work cross-group; guiedit.php now produces valid HTML, and other small bugs were fixed. We also added $EnableRedirectQuiet
, which allows redirects to take place without any mention of "redirected from page ....".
This is a summary of changes from 2.1.x to 2.2.0.
$BlocklistDownload
['Site.Blocklist-Pm Wiki'] = array('format' => 'pmwiki');
"@nopass"
prior it was done by "nopass"
passwdread=nopass:
by passwdread=@nopass
(see PITS:00961) --isidor
$LinkWikiWords
or $EnableWikiWords
to 1. To get the 2.1 behavior where Wiki Words are spaced and parsed but don't form links, use the following:
$EnableWikiWords
= 1;
$LinkWikiWords
= 0;
$EnableWSPre
=0; to disable this rule.
$EnableWSPre
=1; in local/config.php.
$ROSPatterns
variable has changed somewhat -- replacement strings are no longer automatically passed through Fmt Page Name() prior to substitution (i.e., it must now be done explicitly).
(:include:)
pages are now treated as relative to the included page, instead of the currently browsed page. In short, the idea is that links and page variables should be evaluated with respect to the page in which they are written, as opposed to the page in which they appear. This seems to be more in line with what authors expect. There are a number of important ramifications of this change:
{*$var}
form of page variable, which always refers to "the currently displayed page". Pages such as Site.Page Actions and Site.Edit Form that are designed to work on "the currently browsed page" should generally switch to using {*$FullName}
instead of {$FullName}
.
$EnableRelativePageVars
settings control the treatment of links and page variables in included pages. However, to minimize disruption to existing sites, $EnableRelativePageVars
defaults to disabled. This will give existing sites an opportunity to convert any absolute {$var}
references to be {*$var}
instead.
$EnableRelativePageVars
will be enabled by default, so we highly recommend setting $EnableRelativePageVars = 1;
in local/config.php to see how a site will react to the new interpretation. Administrators should especially check any customized versions of the following:
(:include:)
directive now has a basepage=
option whereby an author can explicitly specify the page upon which relative links and page variables should be based. If no basepage= option is specified, the included page is assumed to be the base.
(:include:)
and other items can set $Transition['version'] = 2001900;
to automatically retain the 2.1.x defaults.
(:include:)
can contain "immediate substitutions" of the form {$$option}
-- these are substituted with the value of any options provided to the include directive.
$ScriptUrl
and $PubDirUrl
.
$EnableLinkPageRelative
option allows Pm Wiki to generate relative urls for page links instead of absolute urls.
$EnableDrafts
is set, then the "Save" button is relabeled to "Publish" and a "Save draft" button appears. In addition, an $EnablePublishAttr
configuration variable adds a new "publish" authorization level to distinguish editing from publishing. See PmWiki:Drafts for more details.
{$:var}
"page text variable" available that is able to grab text excerpts out of markup content. For example, {SomePage$:Xyz}
will be replaced by a definition of "Xyz" in Some Page?. Page text variables can be defined using definition markup, a line beginning with the variable name and a colon, or a special directive form (that doesn't display anything on output):
:Xyz: some value # definition list form Xyz: some value # colon form (:Xyz: some value:) # directive form
(:pagelist:)
command can now filter pages based on the contents of page variables and/or page text variables. For example, the following directive displays only those pages that have an "Xyz" page text variable with "some value":
(:pagelist $:Xyz="some value":)
(:pagelist $Title=A* :)
(:pagelist)
can be used to filter pages based on conditional markup:
(:pagelist if="auth upload {=$FullName}":)
pages with upload permission
(:pagelist if="date today.. {=$Name}":)
pages with names that are dates later than today
{$PageCount}, {$GroupCount}, {$GroupPageCount}
variables used in pagelist templates are now {$$PageCount}, {$$GroupCount}, {$$GroupPageCount}
.
{$$option}
in a pagelist template to obtain the value of any 'option=' provided to the (:pagelist:)
command.
(:pagelist:)
directive no longer accepts parameters from urls or forms by default. In order to have it accept such parameters (which was the default in 2.1 and earlier), add a request=1
option to the (:pagelist:)
directive.
count=
option to pagelists now accepts negative values to count from the end of the list. Thus count=5
returns the the first five pages in the list, and count=-5
returns the last five pages in the list. In addition, ranges of pages may be specified, as in count=10..19
or count=-10..-5
.
(:template first ...:)
and (:template last ...:)
sections to specify output for the first or last page in the list or a group. There's also a (:template defaults ...:)
to allow a template to specify default options.
(:pagelist:)
directives, to speed up processing on subsequent visits to the page. To enable this feature, set $PageListCacheDir
to the name of a writable directory (e.g., work.d/).
(:if ...:)
conditional markup now also understands (:elseif ...:)
and (:else:)
. In addition, markup can nest conditionals by placing digits after if/elseif/else, as in (:if1 ...)
, (:elseif1 ...:)
, (:else1:)
, etc.
(:if date ...:)
conditional markup can now perform date comparisons for dates other than the current date and time.
(:if ontrail ...:)
condition allows testing if a page is listed on a trail.
{$PasswdRead}
, {$PasswdEdit}
, etc. variables that display the current password settings for a page (assuming the browser has attr permissions or whatever permissions are set in $PasswdVarAuth).
(:input:)
markup has been internally refactored somewhat (and may still undergo some changes prior to 2.2.0 release). The new (:input select ...:)
markup can be used to create select boxes, and (:input default ...:)
can be used to set default control values, including for radio buttons and checkboxes.
(:input textarea:)
markup now can take values from other sources, including page text variables from other pages.
focus=1
on an (:input:)
control causes that control to receive the input focus when a page is loaded. If a page has multiple controls requesting the focus, then the first control with the lowest value of focus=
"wins".
include_once('scripts/creole.php')
to a local customization file.
{(...)}
markup expression capability, which allows various simple string and data processing (e.g., formatting of dates and times). This is extensible so that recipe authors and system administrators can easily add custom expression operators.
$AutoCreate['/^Category\\./'] = array('ctime' => $Now);
$WikiWordCount
['Wiki Word'] to -1 to indicate that 'Wiki Word' should not be spaced according to $SpaceWikiWords
.
[[Group.]]
and [[Group/]]
) will now go to the first valid entry of $PagePathFmt
, instead of being hardcoded to "Group.Group". For example, to set Pm Wiki to default group home pages to $DefaultName
, use
$PagePathFmt = array('{$Group}.$1', '$1.{$DefaultName}', '$1.$1');
This version backports from 2.2.0-beta a bugfix for $TableRowIndexMax
and also support for the {*$Variable}
markup.
This version fixes a bug in feeds.php that would cause feed entries to be mixed up.
This release fixes a bug in authuser.php introduced by the 2.1.24 release.
The skin template code has also been extended to allow <!--XMLHeader-->
and <!--XMLFooter-->
as aliases for <!--HTMLHeader-->
and <!--HTMLFooter-->
.
This release makes some improvements and fixes to the AuthUser capability.
A bug in authuser.php that had trouble dealing with non-array values in $AuthUser has been fixed.
It is now possible to specify group memberships from local/config.php (remember that such entries must come before including the authuser.php script):
# alice and bob's passwords $AuthUser['alice'] = crypt('alicepassword'); $AuthUser['bob'] = crypt('bobpassword'); # members of the @writers and @admins groups $AuthUser['@writers'] = array('alice', 'bob'); $AuthUser['@admins'] = array('alice', 'dave'); # carol is a member of @editors and @writers $AuthUser['carol'] = array('@editors', '@writers');
Auth User can now read from Apache-formatted .htgroup files. The location of the .htgroup file can be done either in local/config.php or Site.AuthUser
# local/config.php:
$AuthUser['htgroup'] = '/path/to/.htgroup';
# Site.Auth User
htgroup: /path/to/.htgroup
This release closes a potential security vulnerability for sites that are running with 'register_globals' set to on. Details of the vulnerability will be forthcoming on the mailing list and site.
Sites that are running with PHP 'register_globals' and 'allow_url_fopen' set to 'On' should upgrade to this release at the earliest opportunity. If upgrading isn't an option, contact Pm for a patch to older versions.
There is now a tool available to analyze Pm Wiki sites for security and other configuration settings, see PmWiki:SiteAnalyzer.
Version 2.1.23 also corrects a bug that prevented Pm Wiki from being able to read pagefiles created by versions of Pm Wiki before 0.5.6.
More minor bugfixes:
(:attachlist:)
markup.
This release provides a number of very minor bugfixes and enhancements:
The next release(s) may have a number of substantial code enhancements and changes, so this release simply closes out a few items before introducing those changes.
This release closes a potential cross-site scripting vulnerability that could allow authors to inject Javascript code through the various table markups.
The release also adds a new (:input image:)
markup to generate
image input tags in forms.
Finally, this release corrects a problem with ?action=print
failing to properly set the {$Action}
page variable.
This release fixes a long-standing bug with $EnableIMSCaching
(PITS:00573), whereby login/logout operations wouldn't invalidate
browser caches, causing some people to see versions of a page prior
to the login/logout taking place.
The new IMS caching code maintains a "imstime" cookie in the visitor's browser that keeps track of the time of last login, logout, author name change, or site modification. This cookie is then used to determine the proper response to browser requests containing If-Modified-Since headers. (Previously only the time of the last site modification was available.)
Browsers which do not accept cookies will effectively act as though IMS caching is disabled.
This release makes some improvements to skin handling -- primarily this improves the capability of relocating skin files to other locations, and to provide the ability for recipes to insert items at the end of HTML output.
This release introduces a <!--HTMLFooter-->
directive into
skin templates, which allows recipes and local
customizations to insert output near the end of a document
using a $HTMLFooterFmt
array from PHP.
Also, the <!--HeaderText-->
directive, which inserts the
contents of $HTMLHeaderFmt
into the output, has now been
renamed to <!--HTMLHeader-->
. Pm Wiki will continue to
recognize <!--HeaderText-->
to preserve compatibility with
existing skins, but <!--HTMLHeader-->
is preferred.
A new $SkinLibDirs
array has been introduced which allows
the source locations and urls for skins to be specified from
a customization file. By default $SkinLibDirs
is set as
$SkinLibDirs
= array("./pub/skins/\$Skin" => "$PubDirUrl
/skins/\$Skin", "$FarmD
/pub/skins/\$Skin" => "$FarmPubDirUrl
/skins/\$Skin");
The keys (on the left) indicate the places to look for a "skin .tmpl
file" in the filesystem, while the values (on the right) indicate the
url location of the "skin css file". Modifying the value of
$SkinLibDirs
allows a skin .tmpl file to be located anywhere on the
filesystem.
As far as I can see, none of the changes introduced by this release should have any sort of negative impact on existing sites, so it should be safe to upgrade. (If I'm wrong, please let me know.)
This release includes a number of feature enhancements and code cleanups as reported or requested by administrators.
First, Auth User's LDAP authentication system now allows the use of
a ?filter
parameter, consistent with urls used for mod_auth_ldap
authorization in Apache. See the newly updated LDAP section of the
AuthUser documentation for more details.
A chicken-and-egg problem with the @_site_*
authorization groups
has been resolved. It's now possible to have a page's read authorization
refer to things such as _site_edit
.
Also, the Retrieve Auth Page?() function -- used for retrieving pages only if the visitor is authorized to do so -- now recognizes a special level parameter of 'ALWAYS', which means to always authorize access regardless of the browser or visitors current permissions. This may be useful for allowing certain operations to take place from within trusted scripts without having to grant full authorization to the browser.
Hardcoded instances of the local/ directory now use a
customizable $LocalDir
variable. This variable controls where
Pm Wiki looks for local/config.php and per-group customization
files. It may be useful for some Wiki Farm contexts. Note that
this does not change or affect the location of
$FarmD
/local/farmconfig.php.
Some minor internal changes have been made to scripts/wikistyles.php to better accommodate the wikipublisher recipe. It's probably better if we don't try to explain them. :-)
This release fixes a bug in handling numeric passwords, and also allows ldaps:// authentication sources.
This version introduces the ability to nest divs and tables.
The standard (:table:)
and (:div:)
markups are still
available, except that a (:div:)
may contain a (:table:)
and vice-versa.
As in previous versions of Pm Wiki, the (:div:)
markup
automatically closes any previous (:div:)
. However, there
are now (:div1:)
, (:div2:)
, etc. markups (and the
corresponding (:div1end:)
, (:div2end:)
, ...) which can be
used to uniquely distinguish divs for nesting purposes.
To restore Pm Wiki's previous "non-nested" div behavior, set $Transition['nodivnest'] = 1; in a local customization file.
Other changes in this release:
(:noaction:)
directive to suppress display of page actions.
This is a minor update that prevents %define=%
wikistyles
from generating empty paragraphs in the HTML output. Prior to
this release, markup lines containing only wikistyle definitions
would often generate empty paragraphs (<p></p>), this release
changes things so that a markup line beginning with %define=
and containing only wikistyle definitions will not initiate
a new paragraph.
Version 2.1.4 introduced an {$Action}
page variable that would
contain the current ?action=
value. Unfortunately, this page
variable conflicted with a pre-existing $Action
global variable
that was being used by skins to display a human-friendly form of
the current action. Since there's not really a clean way to resolve
this, I've decided to keep {$Action}
as a page variable
with the current action value (as introduced in 2.1.4), and change
the global for skins to be $ActionTitle. This will require updating
skins to use $ActionTitle instead of $Action. I apologize for the
conflict.
This release adds a Site.Local Templates? page for the fmt=#xyz
option in pagelist and search results. The list of pages to be
searched can be customized via the $FPLTemplatePageFmt
variable.
The fmt=#xyz
option will now also search the current page for
a matching template before searching Site.Local Templates?
and Site.Page List Templates.
The 'pmwiki' skin now places a <span> around the "Recent Changes" link in the header to make it somewhat easier to style.
This release fixes a long-standing and difficult-to-find bug with
the handling of [[~Author]]
links.
This release simply changes the $NotifyListFmt variable to be
$NotifyListPageFmt
(more descriptive), and adds a $NotifyList
array that can be used to specify notification entries from
a configuration file.
This release introduces a variety of improvements and bugfixes.
Vspace paragraphs are now divs:
Version 2.1.7 changes the way that Pm Wiki handles vertical
space in output (the infamous <p class='vspace></p>
sequence).
Instead of using paragraphs, Pm Wiki now generates
<div class='vspace'></div>
for vertical space sequences.
In addition, Pm Wiki is able to collapse the vspace <div> with
any subsequent paragraph tags, such that a sequence like
<div class='vspace></div><p>...paragraph text...</p>
is automatically converted to
<p class='vspace'>...paragraph text...</p>
This allows for better control over paragraph spacing. It is
expected that this change in vspace handling will not have
any detrimental effects on existing sites. Sites that have
set custom values for $HTMLVSpace
will continue to use the
custom value. A site that wants to restore Pm Wiki's earlier
handling of vspace can do so by adding the following to
local/config.php:
$HTMLVSpace
= "<p class='vspace'></p>";
Improved email notifications of changes: Version 2.1.7 incorporates a notify.php script that provides improved capabilities for sending email notifications in response to page changes. This script is intended to replace the previous MailPosts capability, which is now deprecated (but will continue to be supported in Pm Wiki 2.1.x). Details and instructions for using notify.php are in the PmWiki.Notify page.
Added 'group home page' syntax: A group name followed by only a dot or slash is automatically treated as a reference to the group's home page, whatever it happens to be. This simplifies some pagelist templates as well as a number of other items. In particular, group links in pagelist output now points to the correct locations (instead of being a page in the current group).
Several bugs and vulnerabilities have been fixed:
The primary improvement in this release is the addition of
a pagename argument to the (:if auth:)
conditional markup.
Thus one can display markup based on a visitor's authorization
to a page other than the current one. For example, to test
for edit privileges to Main.WikiSandbox, one would use
(:if auth edit Main.WikiSandbox:)
. As before, if the
pagename is omitted the directive tests authorization to
the current page.
This release also restores the ability to have hyphens in Inter Map link names.
Lastly, the release closes a potential cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Wiki Trail? markup, and provides some small performance improvements.
This release fixes a few more bugs:
The release also adds a couple of items:
{$Action}
page variable.
(:attachlist:)
command now uses a natural case sort.
This release fixes a bug that prevents the lines=
option from
working on sites running PHP 5.1.1 or later. It also re-fixes
a bug involving empty passwords and LDAP authentication.
This release fixes a bug with handling "nopass" passwords. It also makes some speed improvements to large web feeds, and fixes a couple of minor HTML tag mismatches.
This release primarily fixes a bug with passwords containing multiple authorization groups, and in the process slightly liberalized the formatting of "@group" and "id:name" handling. This release also adds a new mechanism for managing and displaying FAQ pages.
This set of release notes is fairly lengthy, as it chronicles all of the changes since 2.0.13 (four months of development). A lot remains the same, but some changes warrant extra care when upgrading from a 2.0.x version to 2.1.0 (thus the major revision number change). As always, questions and issues can be mailed to the pmwiki-users mailing list.
Here's the list:
$LinkWikiWords
= 1;" in a local customization file. As of 2.1.beta2, you can now leave Wiki Words enabled but have links to non-existent pages display without decoration -- to do this, place the following lines in pub/css/local.css:
span.wikiword a.createlink { display:none; } span.wikiword a.createlinktext { border-bottom:none; text-decoration:none; color:inherit; }
(:pagelist:)
code has been substantially revised. Pagelist formatting can now be specified using markup, and several defaults are available from Site.PageListTemplates. Also, several built-in pagelist formatting functions (FPL Simple?, FPL By Group?, FPL Group?) are now removed in favor of the template code. The FPL By Group? function can be restored by setting $Transition['fplbygroup']=1; . Remark: Check to see if your page Site.PageListTemplates is not passwordprotected for viewing, otherwise the resulting pagelist will not be shown.
(:pagelist:)
now also understands wildcards in group=
and name=
arguments, as well as excluding specific names and groups.
(:pagelist:)
now has an "order=random" option.
(:searchbox:)
now accepts "group=", "link=", "list=", etc. options to be passed along to the search results. It also accepts a "target=" option that identifies the page on which to send the search query.
?action=search
will display the contents of the current page if it contains a (:
searchresults:)
directive, otherwise it uses the content of the page identified by $PageSearchForm
(default is the search page for the current language translation).
$PageIndexFile
='';
$EnablePageListProtect
variable now defaults to true, so that read-only pages appear in pagelists only if the visitor has read authorization. Note that this can also slow down some (:pagelist:)
and search commands, so if the site doesn't have any read-only pages or if you aren't worried with cloaking read-only pages from searchlists, it might be worth setting $EnablePageListProtect
=0; .
(:linebreaks:)
directive is honored. To turn off whitespace indentation, use DisableMarkup('^ws');
.
!!Heading
is silently ignored.
(:redirect:)
directive is now a true markup, and can be embedded inside conditional markups or includes. It also allows redirecting to an anchor in a page, such as (:redirect PageName#anchor:)
. A new from=
option allows the redirect to take place only from pages that match the given wildcard specification. The status=
option allows a 301, 302, 303, or 307 HTTP status code to be returned.
$EnableSessionPasswords
variable can be used to control whether passwords are held in PHP sessions. (This does not affect user authentication via AuthUser, however.)
$AuthId
if not otherwise set by a script or cookie.
$DefaultPasswords
['edit']).
$EnableDrafts
= 1. This creates a "Save as draft" button that will save a page under a "-Draft" suffix, for intermediate edits.
[[PageName |+]]
markup is now available by default; this creates a link to PageName and uses that page's title as the link text.
{$variable}
syntax, and can be used in markup and in $...Fmt strings. In addition, one can request a value for a specific page by placing the pagename in front of the variable, as in {pagename$variable}
.
?action=atom
), Dublin Core Metadata (?action=dc
) output, and enclosures for podcasting. It also allows feeds to be generated from trails, groups, categories, and backlinks, and provides options (same as pagelists) for sorting and filtering the contents of the feed. Most sites can simply switch to using include_once("scripts/feeds.php");
instead of the previous rss.php include. The rss.php file has been removed from the distribution (but still works with Pm Wiki 2.1 for those sites that wish to continue using it).
$EnableIMSCaching
variable is now much smarter, it can detect changes in local customization files as well as pages.
%class1 class2%
results in class='class1 class2'
instead of just class='class2'
in the output.
(:include PageName#from#:)
markup not working has been fixed (PITS:00560).
[[#anchor]]
is used more than once in a page, only the first generates an actual anchor (to preserve XHTML validity).
(:if equal ...:)
and (:if exists pagename:)
conditional markups.
(:if [ group PmWiki && ! name PmWiki ] :)
.
$UploadUrlFmt
is now based on $PubDirUrl
instead of $ScriptUrl
.
