+Content from sites such as YouTube can be embedded into a web page. Maybe
+you want to do this. But you'll find that the [[plugins/htmlscrubber]]
+doesn't let you. It blocks the tags used to embed such content, because
+they can be abused in many evil ways.
+
+Some plugins have been written to try to work around this problem, by
+whitelisting the html needed to embed things from a few sites like Google

+they have to be kept up to date to add new sites, and follow changes to the

+(Digression: The real problem with the plugins is that they hide the
+underlying trust relationship. If you decide to embed html from a site,
+you'd better trust that site. And if ikiwiki lets you enter such html, it
+needs to trust you.)
+
+The [[plugins/htmlscrubber]] offers a different way around this problem.
+You can configure it to skip scrubbing certian pages, so that content from
+elsewhere can be embedded on those pages. Then use [[plugins/lockedit]]
+to limit who can edit those unscrubbed pages.
+
+For example, suppose your blog is all under `blog/*`, and you want
+only yourself to be able to post there, and you'd like to be able to embed

+wiki (Discussion pages, say), but not your blog posts. Then you could configure

+Here's how to set up a static wiki or blog using ikiwiki with no hosting
+feeds. Everything is hosted on github, both the git repository and the web
+site. Your laptop is used to generate and publish changes to it.
+
+This is possible because github now supports
+[github pages](http://github.com/blog/272-github-pages).
+
+Note that github limits free accounts to 100 mb of git storage. It's
+unlikely that a small wiki or blog will outgrow this, but we are keeping
+two copies of the website in git (source and the compiled site), and all
+historical versions too. So it could happen. If it does, you can pay github
+for more space, or you can migrate your site elsewhere.
+
+## github setup
+
+* Go to [github](http://github.com/) and sign up for an account, if you
+ haven't already.
+* Be sure to add your laptop's ssh key to it so you can push
+ to github.
+* Create a repository on githib named `$YOU.github.com`, substituting your
+ username. This repository will be used to publish your compiled website.
+* Create a repository on github named `$YOU` (or anything else you like).
+ This repository will be used to publish the source of your website.
+ This is actually optional.
+
+## local setup
+
+* On your laptop, create two empty git repositories to correspond to the
+ github repositories:
+ YOU=# your github username here
+ mkdir ~/$YOU.github.com
+ cd ~/$YOU.github.com
+ git init
+ git remote add origin git@github.com:$YOU/$YOU.github.com.git
+ mkdir ~/$YOU
+ cd ~/$YOU
+ git init
+ git remote add origin git@github.com:$YOU/$YOU.git
+* Add some wiki pages, such as an `index.mdwn`, to `~/$YOU`, and check them
+ in and commit them to git. You need something to push to github. Run
+ `git push origin master` to push the source pages to github.
+
+## publishing to github
+
+* Now build your wiki with a command such as:
+ ikiwiki ~/$YOU ~/$YOU.github.com --refresh
+* Each time you build the wiki you will need to commit the changes
+ to git, and push the compiled pages to github:
+ cd ~/YOU.github.com
+ git add .
+ git commit -a -m update
+ git push origin master
+
+Your wiki will show up at `http://$YOU.github.com/` within ten
+minutes after the first push, and changes you push to it from then on
+should show up immediatly.
+
+## enhancements
+
+You can follow the instructions in [[laptop_wiki_with_git]] to set up an
+editable version of your wiki on your laptop. Then you can use the web
+interface for editing. You'll still need to follow the instructions above
+to publish your changes to github.
+
+It would also be possible to teach ikiwiki to push compiled pages to github
+itself via a plugin, as was done with the [[plugins/amazon_s3]] plugin. Not
+done yet!

+Version 3.0 of ikiwiki makes some significant changes, which
+you will need to deal with when upgrading from ikiwiki 2.x.
+
+[[!toc ]]
+
+## setup file format change
+
+The layout of the setup file changed in a significant way in version 2.60
+of ikiwiki. If you have not changed yours to the new format, now would be a
+good time to do so. Some new features, like the [[plugins/websetup]]
+interface, need the new format setup file.
+
+You can convert old setup files into the new format by running
+`ikiwiki-transition setupformat your.setup`
+
+## moving settings from Preferences page
+
+The admin preferences page used to have settings for allowed attachments,
+locked pages, and banned users. These three settings have moved to the
+setup file, and will no longer appear on the admin preferences page once
+your wiki is upgraded to 3.0.
+
+You can move these preferences into the setup file by running
+`ikiwiki-transition moveprefs your.setup; ikiwiki -setup your.setup -refresh -wrappers`
+
+(Make sure you have converted the setup file to the new format first.)
+
+## prefix directives
+
+In 3.0, the syntax ikiwiki uses for [[directives|ikiwiki/directive]] has
+changed, requiring that the directive start with a bang:
+
+ \[[!directive ...]]
+
+If you would like to keep the old syntax, it is still supported, add the
+following to your setup file:
+
+ prefix_directives => 0,
+
+To convert to the new syntax, run
+`ikiwiki-transition prefix_directives your.setup`
+
+(And then commit the changes it makes to pages in your srcdir.)
+
+## GlobLists
+
+In 3.0, the old "GlobList" syntax for [[PageSpecs|ikiwiki/PageSpec]] is no
+longer supported. A GlobList contains multiple term, but does not separate
+them with "and" or "or":
+
+ sandbox !*/Discussion
+
+To convert this to a modern PageSpec, simply add "and" or "or" as
+appropriate between terms:
+
+ sandbox and !*/Discussion
+
+GlobLists have been deprecated for more than two years. If your wiki dates
+to the ikiwiki 1.0 era, you should check it for any that might have lurked
+unnoticed in it since back then. Ikiwiki version 2.72 will print warnings
+about any GlobLists it sees.
+
+## aggregateinternal
+
+If your wiki uses the [[aggregate|plugins/aggregate]] plugin, it will start
+to aggregate feeds to special "internal" pages.
+
+If you don't want this change, you can add the following to your setup
+file:
+
+ aggregateinternal => 0,
+
+Otherwise, follow this procedure to upgrade a wiki using the aggregate plugin:
+
+1. Update all [[PageSpecs|ikiwiki/PageSpec]] that refer to the aggregated
+ pages -- such as those in inlines. Put "internal()" around globs
+ in those PageSpecs. For example, if the PageSpec was `foo/*`, it should
+ be changed to `internal(foo/*)`. This has to be done because internal
+ pages are not matched by regular globs.
+2. Use [[ikiwiki-transition]] to rename all existing aggregated `.html`
+ files in the srcdir. The command to run is
+ `ikiwiki-transition aggregateinternal your.setup`,
+3. Refresh the wiki. (`ikiwiki -setup your.setup -refresh`)
+
+## embed / googlecalendar
+
+The googlecalendar plugin has been deprecated for a long time, and is
+removed in 3.0.
+
+The embed plugin is also now deprecated, though not yet removed.
+
+If you use either plugin to embed content from google, youtube, etc,
+into your wiki, you should instead configure the [[plugins/htmlscrubber]]
+to skip sanitising some pages, via the `htmlscrubber_skip` setting.
+See [[embedding_content]] for examples.

+[[!template id=plugin name=smcvgallery author="[[Simon_McVittie|smcv]]"]]
+[[!tag type/chrome]]
+
+This plugin has not yet been written; this page is an experiment in
+design-by-documentation :-)
+
+## Requirements
+
+This plugin formats a collection of images into a photo gallery,
+in the same way as many websites: good examples include the
+PHP application [Gallery](http://gallery.menalto.com/), Flickr,
+and Facebook's Photos "application".
+
+The web UI I'm trying to achieve consists of one
+[HTML page of thumbnails](http://www.pseudorandom.co.uk/2008/2008-03-08-panic-cell-gig/)
+as an entry point to the gallery, where each thumbnail
+links to
+[a "viewer" HTML page](http://www.pseudorandom.co.uk/2008/2008-03-08-panic-cell-gig/img_0068/)
+with a full size image, next/previous thumbnail links, and [[plugins/comments]].
+
+(The Summer of Code [[plugins/contrib/gallery]] plugin does the
+next/previous UI in Javascript using Lightbox, which means that
+individual photos can't be bookmarked in a meaningful way, and
+the best it can do as a fallback for non-Javascript browsers
+is to provide a direct link to the image.)
+
+Other features that would be good to have:
+
+* minimizing the number of separate operations needed to make a gallery -
+ editing one source file per gallery is acceptable, editing one
+ source file per photo is not
+
+* keeping photos outside source code control, for instance in an
+ underlay
+
+* assigning [[tags|ikiwiki/directive/tag]] to photos, providing a
+ superset of Facebook's "show tagged photos of this person" functionality
+
+* constructing galleries entirely via the web by uploading attachments
+
+* inserting grouping (section headings) within a gallery; as in the example
+ linked above, I'd like this to split up the thumbnails but not the
+ next/previous trail
+
+* rendering an `<object>/<embed>` arrangement to display videos, and possibly
+ thumbnailing them in the same way as totem-video-thumbnailer
+ (my camera can record short videos, so some of my web photo galleries contain
+ them)
+
+My plan is to have these directives:
+
+* \[[!gallery]] registers the page it's on as a gallery, and displays all photos
+ that are part of this gallery but not part of a \[[!gallerysection]] (below).
+
+ All images (i.e. `*.png *.jpg *.gif`) that are attachments to the gallery page
+ or its subpages are considered to be part of the gallery.
+
+ Optional arguments:
+
+ * filter="[[ikiwiki/PageSpec]]": only consider images to be part of the
+ gallery if they also match this filter
+
+ * sort="date|filename": order in which to sort the images
+
+* \[[!gallerysection filter="[[ikiwiki/PageSpec]]"]] displays all photos in the
+ gallery that match the filter
+
+So, [the gallery I'm using as an example](http://www.pseudorandom.co.uk/2008/2008-03-08-panic-cell-gig/)
+could look something like this:
+
+ \[[!gallery]]
+ <!-- replaced with one uncategorized photo -->
+
+ # Gamarra
+
+ \[[!gallerysection filter="link(sometag)"]]
+ <!-- all the Gamarra photos -->
+
+ # Smokescreen
+
+ \[[!gallerysection filter="link(someothertag)"]]
+ <!-- all the Smokescreen photos -->
+
+ <!-- ... -->
+
+## Implementation ideas
+
+The photo galleries I have at the moment, like the Panic Cell example above,
+are made by using an external script to parse XML gallery descriptions (lists
+of image filenames, with metadata such as titles), and using this to write IkiWiki
+markup into a directory which is then used as an underlay. This is a hack, but it
+works. The use of XML is left over from a previous attempt at solving the same
+problem using Django.
+
+The next/previous part this plugin overlaps with [[todo/wikitrails]].
+
+A \[[!galleryimg]] directive to assign metadata to images is probably necessary, so
+the gallery page can contain something like:
+
+ \[[!galleryimg p1010001.jpg title="..." caption="..." tags="foo"]]
+ \[[!galleryimg p1010002.jpg title="..." caption="..." tags="foo bar"]]
+
+Making the viewer pages could be rather tricky.
+
+One possibility is to write out the viewer pages as a side-effect of preprocessing
+the \[[!gallery]] directive. The proof-of-concept implementation below does this.
+However, this does mean the viewer pages can't have tags or metadata of their own
+and can't be matched by [[pagespecs|ikiwiki/pagespec]] or
+[[wikilinks|ikiwiki/wikilink]]. It might be possible to implement tagging by
+using \[[!galleryimg]] to assign the metadata to the *images* instead of their
+viewers,
+
+Another is to synthesize source pages for the viewers. This means they can have
+tags and metadata, but trying to arrange for them to be scanned etc. correctly
+without needing another refresh run is somewhat terrifying.
+[[plugins/autoindex]] can safely create source pages because it runs in
+the refresh hook, but I don't really like the idea of a refresh hook that scans
+all source pages to see if they contain \[[!gallery]]...
+
+Making the image be the source page (and generate HTML itself) would be possible,
+but I wouldn't want to generate a HTML viewer for every `.jpg` on a site, so
+either the images would have to have a special extension (awkward for uploads from
+Windows users) or the plugin would have to be able to change whether HTML was
+generated in some way (not currently possible).
