Rather than the current situation where most settings are -in ikiwiki.setup, and one or two (like locked pages and upload limits) in -the admin preferences. - -In theory, every setting could be configured there. In practice, some -settings, like `srcdir` and `destdir` are ones you want to keep far away -from editing via the web. - -One way to do it would be for the ikiwiki.setup to allow delegating -specific settings to the admin prefs.. lets say by setting them to undef, -while values that the admin prefs can't set would be set as usual: - - rss => undef, - atom => undef, - discussion => undef, - syslog => undef, - srcdir => "/srv/www", - plugins => undef, - -Currently admin prefs are per-admin, and are stored in the userdb. -That seems like a bad choice in the context of this idea. Instead, admin -prefs should be shared amoung all admins, and the ideal storage would be -another ikiwiki setup file, which could be loaded in, and written back out. - -If `ikiwiki-makerepo` were extended a little bit to generate the stub setup -file that's enough to get `ikiwiki.cgi` working, and that sets values for -all the dangerous options, leaving only safe ones 'undef', then users could -set up ikiwiki using it, and configure the rest with the web interface, -without ever needing to edit a setup file. - -Implementing this probably means, for every setup option, adding a short -description, that links to a long description on a basewiki page, and a type -specifier so that it can be represented well in the web interface. Also -some way to group options into sections. --[[Joey]] - -[[tag wishlist]] |
