LocalCustomizationsA Wiki Administrator can make a lot of customizations simply by setting variables in the /local/config.php and defining cascading style sheets in /pub/css/local.css files. Any group or page can also have its own configuration file and configuration css file. This page describes how customizations work in general, see PmWiki.Documentation Index for specific customizations that are commonly performed at many PmWiki installations, including:
local/config.phpFrom its inception, PmWiki has been designed so that Wiki Administrators can greatly customize the way PmWiki displays pages and the markup sequences used to generate pages. (This is even mentioned explicitly in PmWiki Philosophy #4.) As a result, the core pmwiki.php script makes extensive use of PmWiki.Variables to determine how markup sequences will be processed and what each individual page will output. The simplest type of customization is merely setting a variable to 1 (or TRUE). Here's an example that enables ?action=diag and ?action=phpinfo actions: $EnableDiag = 1;
You can begin a line with a "#" (an octothorpe, a.k.a. a hash symbol or pound sign) to add a comment. Additionally, some built-in PmWiki variables take values other than 1 or 0 (true or false). Here's another example that customizes the wiki's behavior with respect to search engine web robots (see Cookbook:ControllingWebRobots ): # Remove the default "rel='nofollow'" attribute for external links. $UrlLinkFmt = "<a class='urllink' href='\$LinkUrl' title='\$LinkAlt'>\$LinkText</a>" The scripts/ subdirectory (below the directory holding the pmwiki.php script) has many customizations. The PmWiki Cookbook contains many example customizations (recipes) that you can download into the cookbook/ subdirectory, The first few lines of each of these scripts generally contain instructions about how to enable (and use) the feature provided by the script. These customizations are included in your config.php site configuration. For most scripts this is done by simply adding lines like: include_once("cookbook/recipefile.php");
and include_once("scripts/scriptfile.php");
at the end of the config.php file to enable them. Some of the scripts are automatically enabled for you via the scripts/stdconfig.php script unless you disable it by setting Order of the commands in config.php (link)The following order is recommended:
Note, each part is not required, but if your wiki needs it, this is the recommended order in config.php. Character encoding of config.phpThe encoding used when you save Newer operating systems like GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and Apple generally default to saving text files in Unicode/UTF-8; in Windows the default encoding is ANSI/Windows-1252 which is almost the same as PmWiki's ISO-8859-1. The following free/libre software text editors can edit and save a file in different encodings:
Note that if you use the UTF-8 encoding, you should save your files "without Byte Order Mask (BOM)". Over time PmWiki will be updated to default to Unicode/UTF-8 encoding, which allows all possible alphabets and languages. See UTF-8 for more information. pub/css/local.cssYou can create this file and set there some custom CSS styles which will override any styles set by skins. For example: h1, h2, h3, h4, h5 { color: #880000; } /*dark red titles*/ a { text-decoration: none; } /* don't underline links */ Don't modify pmwiki.php or other core filesYou should strongly resist the temptation to directly modify the pmwiki.php script or the files in the scripts/ subdirectory. Any modifications you make to these files will probably be overwritten whenever you upgrade. Instead, look at some of the sample scripts for examples of customizations that can be performed from config.php. You can even create your own script to do a customization and use FAQThere's no "config.php"; it's not even clear what a "local customisation file" is! The "sample-config.php" file in the "docs" folder, is given as an example. Copy it to the "local" folder and rename it to "config.php". You can then remove the "#" symbols or add other commands shown in the documentation. See also Group Customizations. Can I change the default page something other than Main.HomePage ( Yes, just set the $DefaultPage = 'ABC.StartPage';
How do I get the group / page name in a local configuration file (e.g. local/config.php)? Use the following markup in pmwiki-2.1.beta21 or newer: ## Get the group and page name $pagename = ResolvePageName($pagename); $page = PageVar($pagename, '$FullName'); $group = PageVar($pagename, '$Group'); $name = PageVar($pagename, '$Name'); Note the importance of the order of customizations in config.php above to avoid caching problems. If you need the verbatim group and page name (from the request) early in config.php, $pagename is guaranteed to be set to
according to this posting Can I remove items from the wikilib.d folder on my site? The files named Site.* and SiteAdmin.* contain parts of the interface and the configuration and they should not be removed. The other files named PmWiki* contain the documentation and could be removed. How do I customize my own 404 error page for non-existent pages? To change the text of the message, try editing the Site.PageNotFound page. Is the order of customizations in config.php important? Are there certain things that should come before or after others in that file? Yes, see Order of the commands in config.php.
