By NilsLindenberg: Dear Herman, it might surprise you but the maintenance is based on page visits, with some added randomeness. Not really the best method, since you can't set a day for the schedule and it has not the best performance, but it works. But since it is not a feature many people ask (or complain ;) about, please don't expect any improvements in the near future unless somebody submits a patch. Best regards, Nils

By : Dear Nils, thank you for your useful information on pages_purge_time housekeeping function. From the documentation to the configuration options, if I set this to 7, page revisions older than 7 days will be deleted. Can you tell me when the page deletion action will happen? At the time when I amend the page or the deletion is a periodically scheduled task? If it is a periodically scheduled task, can I specify the time schedule e.g. every 15 days of a month? Best regards, Herman

SafeHTML

Mon, 27 Oct 2008 18:04:14 +0100

By NilsLindenberg: Hi Erik,

yes, it is possible. You have to change <root>/3rdparty/core/safehtml/classes/safehtml.php. You have to remove 'iframe' from var $Deletes and add it to var $WhiteProtocols.

Thu, 11 Sep 2008 20:19:59 +0100

By : Seems like the current code (as of today) is busted for the rank parameter. It looks like it was hardcoded to $pages at the top of highscores.php, and never altered after that. Removing the $rank = 'pages' hardcoding, and adding the below worked:
%%
if (!isset($rank) || !in_array($rank, $valid_rank))
{
$rank = 'pages';
}
%%

By : And really, really, really long pages still generally manage to work. For instance, my Wikka installation over at ttu.tomorrowlands.org got deluged with about 4,800 spam comments in two days, all targeted at the single page with a forgotten anonymous-comments-allowed ACL. It still generated that page in 1.2 seconds.

On the other hand, under that comment load the "Recent Comments" page took upwards of a minute to load, and apparently locked up the mysql server at least once before I took the wiki down for maintenance.

AddingLinks

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:40:58 +0100

By : How do I create a named anchor (i.e. in HTML: <a name="foo">) and then link to that anchor?

E.g. in some wiki engines I can make the anchor thus:

[[#foo]]

and then link to it:

[[MyPage#foo]]

How can I accomplish this task in Wikka?

Is it possible to have the category action list the name as John Smith? Is there any other way to issue this?

I am using Wikka as a PIM and have a contacts category. Using the 'category' action, all the names are listed well, but without spaces making it hard to read. Any ideas/suggestions?

The module works like a charm (tested on a fresh install of Wikka 1.1.6.4). And the configuration is well integrated. Perfect !

PS : there is a small error on http://www.wikkawiki.org/URTextCaptchaModule : it says " 'UR_validation_modules' => 'URWordpressModule', " but it should be " 'UR_validation_modules' => 'URTextCaptchaModule', "

Thanks again for this great new module :)

By : Thanks for your reply (I'm the anonymous guy above)

A renamming handler would be great ! If you don't loose history and comments when you rename a page of course.

A good start for the CAPTCHA extension would be this page : http://www.punbb.fr/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=18554#p18554 It is the php code for a very accessible (and simple !) captcha used in Dotclear and PunBB. You could probably adapt it to Wikka ? This code could be used for the registration page but also for the comments section of a page. There would be a configuration option that let the administrator change the questions and answers.

About the "show?time=.2008-04-07+05%3A29%3A22" in the URL, I was not very clear the first time, sorry. I know it is to differentiate page revisions, and this is great for the feed of a page. But it is not necessary for the RSS feed of the whole wiki : the probleme is only for the main feed.

And a new suggestion. From a usability point of view, when someone adds a comment to a page, he doesn't see the previous comments, witch is very annoying ! The link to the form for adding a comment should also be after the comments, not before.

By BrianKoontz: Actually, what anonymous is describing for a registration code would have to be implemented as an extension to the URInviteCode module (as the current module simply prompts for an invitation code). Easily done...it would be a good little project for someone!

By NilsLindenberg: Hi, some replies to your suggestions:
- cloning comments: an option, yes. But we do need a rename-handler anyway I don't know if that covers all cases, though
- the strange address is used to differ between versions of a page. Usefull if the page was changed more then once. Imho it is the same for blogs, where posts can be on the first page but have a place in the permanent-structure, too, isn't it?
- In 1.1.6.4 / trunk you have the option to add a register code to the login-form which does want you want to do
- definitely worth a plugin, yes.

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 08:19:41 +0100

By : Hi all,
I've got a few suggestions that, IMHO, the team should implement :
- When cloning a page, give the possibility to clone the comments attached to it. For now, when I want to rename (clone) a page, I loose all the comments... This is a big big problem !
- The link to a page in the RSS feeds do not point to the real page adresse but a strange "show?time=.2008-04-07+05%3A29%3A22" URL (whitch leads to the same content as the real one !). It is not user friendly and it is very bad for search engines (duplicate content). If I put the last changes of my wiki on the sidebar of my blog thanks to a feed, Google will see 2 URLs -> bad.
- Implement a simple captcha system for registration ("What is the name of this Wiki" Answer : "WikkaWiki". Simple and efficient. Images are not very accessible.
- For comments, Akismet is working very well and is transparent for the user

What do you think ?

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:25:21 +0100

By BrianKoontz: Yes, I have thoughts :) An action that would automagically generate said list of files from the Trac source browser. Maybe something like:

{{sourcefilelist version='1.1.6.4'}}

I'm personally against anything that requires manual intervention every time a release is made...
