News for ikiwiki 3.20100515:

There are two significant changes to the page.tmpl template in this version. If you have a locally modified version of that template, you will need to update it at least to contain the following in the HTML <head>:

<TMPL_IF DYNAMIC>
<TMPL_IF FORCEBASEURL><base href="<TMPL_VAR FORCEBASEURL>" /><TMPL_ELSE>
<TMPL_IF BASEURL><base href="<TMPL_VAR BASEURL>" /></TMPL_IF>
</TMPL_IF>
</TMPL_IF>

Also, the footer should be wrapped in <TMPL_UNLESS DYNAMIC> ... </TMPL_UNLESS>

There is a new "comment()" pagespec, that can be used to match a comment on a page. It is recommended to use it instead of the old method of using a pagespec such as "internal(comment_*)" to match things that looked like comments. The old pagespec will now also match comments that are held for moderation; likely not what you want.

There have also been some changes to the style.css in this version, particularly to support the new openid selector. If you have a modified version, of style.css, updating it (or moving it to local.css) is recommended.

  • Removed misc.tmpl. Now to theme ikiwiki, you only need to customise a single template, page.tmpl.
  • If you have a locally customised page.tmpl, it needs to be updated to set <base> when BASEURL or FORCEBASEURL is set.
  • comments: Comments pending moderation are now stored in the srcdir alongside accepted comments, but with a ._comment_pending extension. This allows easier byhand moderation, as the "_pending" need only be stripped off and the comment be committed to version control.
  • The comment_pending() pagespec can be used to match such unmoderated comments, which makes it easy to add a feed of them, or a counter indicating how many there are.
  • Belatedly added a comment() pagespec.
  • Gave comment and page editing forms some CSS and accessability love.
  • Renamed postscan hook to indexhtml, to reflect its changed position, and typical use.
  • inline: Call indexhtml when inlining internal pages, so their text can be indexed for searching.
  • Delete hooks are passed deleted internal pages.
  • openid: Incorporated a fancy openid-selector signin form. (Based on http://code.google.com/p/openid-selector/)
  • openid: Use "openid_identifier" as the form field, as required by OpenID Authentication v2.0 spec.
  • Removed the openidsignup option. Instead, my recommendation is to leave passwordauth enabled and let people who don't have an openid use it. The openid selector form avoids the UI annoyance of having both openid and passwordauth on one form.
  • calendar: Allow negative month to be specified. -1 is last month, etc. (And also negative years.)
  • calendar: Display year in title of month calendar.
  • Use xhtml friendly pubdate setting.
  • remove, rename: Add guards against XSRF attacks."""]]
