From 5466a1daf99e8e4c67a19f871aaf558312569652 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: joey Date: Fri, 26 May 2006 01:10:58 +0000 Subject: * The page name and parent links has switched from using a

to a styled , so pages can use

internally instead of needing to use

. * Updated all of ikiwiki's own wiki pages for that. * Add pagetemplate hook, which can be used by plugins that want to mess around with adding new stuff to the page template. * Remove headercontent; the search plugin now adds the search box to the header by registering a pagetemplate hook, and other plugins should do similarly. --- ...dding_new_pages_by_using_the_web_interface.mdwn | 28 ++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/todo/adding_new_pages_by_using_the_web_interface.mdwn') diff --git a/doc/todo/adding_new_pages_by_using_the_web_interface.mdwn b/doc/todo/adding_new_pages_by_using_the_web_interface.mdwn index 65de469fb..e24ab1232 100644 --- a/doc/todo/adding_new_pages_by_using_the_web_interface.mdwn +++ b/doc/todo/adding_new_pages_by_using_the_web_interface.mdwn @@ -1,8 +1,26 @@ -Perhaps I'm just too stupid to find the proper way to do this, but how would I add a new page to the wiki without selecting to edit an already installed one and frobbing the URL to direct to the to-be-created page? --[[ThomasSchwinge]] +Perhaps I'm just too stupid to find the proper way to do this, but how +would I add a new page to the wiki without selecting to edit an already +installed one and frobbing the URL to direct to the to-be-created page? +--[[ThomasSchwinge]] -Good point. Of course one way is to start with creating a link to the page, which also helps prevent orphans. But other wikis based on CGI do have this a bit easier, since they can detect an attempt to access a nonexistant page and show an edit page. Ikiwiki can't do that (unless its web server is configured to do smart things on a 404). +Good point.
