Ocsimore's wiki extension

Creating several wikis (associated to several paths) allows to give different rights for subdirectories of the site.

Wiki syntax

The wiki is using Wikicreole's syntax (but it is possible to plug another syntax).

It supports extensions with the following syntax:

<<extensionname arg1='value1' arg2='value2' >> or <<extensionname arg1='value1' arg2='value2' |data>>

See below for predefined extensions.

It also supports attributes with the following syntax: Put attribute just after the openning tag. For example: //@@class="important"@@some text//

For now, attributes class and id are defined for each tag, and the semantics is the one of xhtml class and id attributes.

Sometimes it is possible to put several sets of attributes (tables, rows, list items). Examples:

|@@...attributes for full table...@...attributes for row...@...attributes for cell...@@ first cell| ... |

*@@...attributes for full list...@...attributes for item...@@ text

Links

Links are created with the syntax [[target]] or [[target|content]] where target is the target of the link and content is the optional content of the link.

There are five kinds for the target of a link which might occur in the database.

[[wiki(id):page]]: A link to a certain page in a given wiki with id (see below for abbreviations).
[[wiki:page]]: A link to a certain page of the currently displayed wiki
[[site:href]]: A link relative to the root of the full site, for example towards a page that is not in a wiki (where href may contain characters like ? or &)
[[href:path]]: You can also create links by a simple href, i.e. [[href:path]] is displayed as <a href="path">...</a>. The href may also contain GET-parameters.

The targets of all those links may be prefixed with http+ or htpps+ to enforce a specific HTTP-protocol.

Additionally, you can create an absolute link towards web site by putting the whole URL in double brackets, for example: [[http://server/page|...]] Warning: it is recommended to use absolute URLs only for external links!

Abbreviations for links

Additionally, there are abbreviation for easily creating (relative) links. Those are replaced by the above forms when creating the preview of wikibox or before saving. Possible problems with relative links are shown in the preview.

This replacement usually depends on the wiki page (i.e. a page wiki and a page path) where the wikibox is edited. NB that the page wiki may be different to the wiki of the edited wikibox.

The examples for the following rules for resolving relative links are given for wiki page /wiki25/a/b/c, i.e. the page wiki wiki(25) and the page path a/b/c.

An empty path refers to the current url:
- [[]] => [[wiki(25):a/b/c]]
- [[#anchor]] => [[wiki(25):a/b/c#anchor]])
Relative paths are interpreted like in hrefs in a-elements in HTML:
- [[.]] => [[wiki(25):/a/b]]
- [[xyz]], [[./xyz]] => [[wiki(25):a/b/xyz]]
- [[..]] => [[wiki(25):a]]
- [[../xyz]] => [[wiki(25):a/xyz]]
- [[c/xyz]] => [[wiki(25):a/b/c/xyz]]
  NB that, for example, [[xyz]] was resolved to [[wiki(25):a/b/c/xyz if the page path was a/b/c/ (note the trailing slash).
Moreover, for absolute paths and relative paths applied to the current page path addr, it is always attempted to refer to the wiki page e/f of the wiki with the longest path wikipath such that addr == wikipath/e/f. E.g. if there was wiki(42) registered on a/b/sub
- [[sub/xyz]] => [[wiki(42):a/b/c/xyz]]
We will provide basic support for resolving complete paths to a wiki and a path, like:
- [[/a/b/c]] => [[wiki(ix):e/f]] such that prefix/e/f = /a/b/c where prefix is the URL of wiki(ix). Currently only for prefix = a || prefix = /a (this not consistent in the DB),
Other wikis can be referred to by their title:
- [[wiki("title"):path]] => [[wiki(ix):path]] where "title" is the title of the wiki with index ix

Cf. the links tests for a bunch of examples.

Predefined extensions

<<div class='...' id='...' |data>> creates a <div> box.

<<span class='...' id='...' |data>> creates a <span> box.

<<wikibox box='j' >> displays the wikibox number j from current wiki. Other optional arguments are possible:

wiki='i' to display a box from another wiki
cols='i' (number of columns of the edition window)
rows='i' (number of rows of the edition window)
class='...' (class xml attribute to use for the box)
delayed='' to delay the loading of the wikibox content

If you want to create a new wikibox, do not put the box argument. A wikibox may be a container. Just put <<content>> inside it. To use a container, use the syntax: <<wikibox box='j' | put here the content >>

<<|...>> comment (will not be displayed)

<<menu item='link|text of the item' item='...' ... >> displays a menu

<<loginbox>> displays a login box Optional parameters:

user_prompt='login:'
pwd_prompt='pwd:'
auth_error='Wrong login or password'

<<logoutlink>> <<logoutbutton>> display a logout link or button

<<raw arg1='value1' arg2='value2' | data >> displays the string "<<arg1='value1' arg2='value2' | data >>" (for debugging purpose).

Conditional display w.r.t. groups: (EXPERIMENTAL)

<<cond ingroup='users'|data>>
<<cond notingroup='users'|data>>
<<cond error='autherror'|data>> (wrong user or password)

<<username>> displays the name of the user.

<<nonattachedlink wiki='...' page='...'|...>> is like [[...|...]] for links, but instead of using a link towards another page, it uses a non-attached service (i.e. the path in the URL won't change, only parameters). Use this if you do not want to go to another URL. The wiki argument is optional. other optional arguments: protocol='https' or protocol='http' (will create absolute links) fragment="..." to create a link containing a # (link to a portion of page with an id attribute) class, id

<<object wiki='...' data='...' type='...'>> allows to include an objet in the page (see <object> xhtml tag). The wiki argument is optional. other optional arguments: protocol="https" or protocol="http" (will create absolute links) fragment="..." to create a link containing a # (link to a portion of page with an id attribute) class, id

<<cancellink|...>> is a link towards the same page without special parameters. Use it if you want to cancel the edition of a page for example. The text after the vertical bar is the text of the link.

<<link wiki='...' page='...'|...>> is like [[...|...]] for links, but for block level links. The wiki argument is optional. other optional arguments: protocol="https" or protocol="http" (will create absolute links) fragment="..." to create a link containing a # (link to a portion of page with an id attribute) class, id

deprecated! now use the extended syntax for links <<img wiki='...' name='...' |...>> is like {{...|...}} for images, but allows links towards images from other wikis (will compute the URL from the URL of the wiki). The wiki argument is optional. other optional arguments: protocol="https" or protocol="http" (will create absolute links) class, id
