PmWiki / ChangesFromPmWiki1


This page is intended to describe features of PmWiki 1.0 that have been changed or eliminated in PmWiki 2.0.  For now this page will be maintained as a simple list and will probably need some restructuring later.

 

Markup changes

 

  • Double brackets are used for all links, including [[free links]].  Providing alternate text for a link is performed using either a vertical brace  [[PageName | link text]] or an arrow [[link text -> PageName]].  See PmWiki.Links.

 

  • So far, the ThisPage:, ThisGroup:, etc., InterMap shortcuts are not defined.  In fact, they may not be needed in PmWiki 2.  If someone needs them, add an entry to PITS:NewIssue explaining why.

    Ok, so as an example, how next lines, which are in a sidebar, may be written in pmwiki2 ?
    *[[ThisPage:?action=upload Upload]]
    *[[ThisGroup:SideBar&action=edit Edit menu]]

 

You can write them as [[{$Name}?action=upload | Upload]] and [[{$Group}/SideBar?action=edit | Edit menu]].  

 

(The variables {$Name} and {$Group} are page variables.)

 

 

Changes affecting skins

 

  • $PageTemplateFmt is obsolete, but $PageTemplateFmt still works, and this may change yet again before the 2.0 official release. To use a different skin, you can use the $Skin variable ($Skin = 'skinname';) and just fill it with the name of the skin, it will assume it's in the pub/skins/[skinname] folder containing the [skinname].tmpl file.

 

  • $HTMLTitleFmt no longer exists -- just place the <title> information directly into the template.

 

  • In $...Fmt strings, $Title_ and $Title are currently represented by $Name.  $Title is now used to refer to a page's title (which may be different from its name and could have different formatting, such as spaces).

 

  • The css/stdlayout.css file no longer exists; PmWiki and other modules now place required formatting styles directly into the $HTMLStylesFmt array.

 

  • $PageName is now $FullName.  $PageName still functions but will be removed in the 2.0 official release.

 

  • Searching now uses the q= variable to provide the text to be searched (formerly the search text went in the text= variable.

 

Other Customization Changes

 

  • PmWiki 2 now uses session-based authentication by default.  If you want to continue to use HTTP-Basic authentication, add the following line to config.php:


        include_once('scripts/httpauth.php');

 

 

 

  • The skins system has been revised, and is now much more flexibly controlled by the $Skin and $ActionSkins variables.  See PmWiki.Skins.  But $PageTemplateFmt still works.

 

  • The $BrowseReplacements, $DoubleBrackets, and $InlineReplacements arrays are no longer used -- see custom markup.

 

  • ?action=post no longer exists -- posting a new page is now performed by using ?action=edit with the post control set to a true value.

 

  • $WikiWordPagePathFmt is now $PagePathFmt, which is applied to all page links not qualified by a group.

 

 

 

 

  • PmWiki's ReadPage() function no longer supplies default text for non-existent pages -- this is now decided by whatever functions need the page.  (As of 2.0.devel9 the default text is still stored in $DefaultPageTextFmt, however.)

 

 

 

 

  • $Url is now $LinkUrl.
