As part of a redesign for my wiki, I have changed the `autotag.tmpl` template, but IkiWiki refuses to rebuild existing tag pages using the updated template. I understand that existing tag pages are not rebuilt because they have been marked as "created" in `.ikiwiki/indexdb`. Is there a way to purge all tag pages from `indexdb`? --dkobozev + +> Well, you can delete the indexdb and rebuild, and that will do it. +> The tag plugin is careful not to replace existing pages or even recreate +> tag pages if you delete them, which does cause a problem if you need to +> update them. --[[Joey]] + +>> Thanks. I thought about deleting `indexdb`, but hesitated to do that. According to [[tips/inside dot ikiwiki]], `indexdb` stores "all persistent state about pages". I didn't know if it's harmless to lose all persistent state. --dkobozev + +>>> The persistant state is best thought of as a cache, +>>> so it's safe to delete it. --[[Joey]] |
