blob: dffffa184cea115ec88836757d3f94dd36ce2228 (plain)

Instead of having files foo.html "in front of" foo/, I prefer to have foo/index.html. This patch allows that. Specifically, foo/index.type is translated to $links{'foo/'}, and bestlink looks for either "foo" or "foo/" when linking to pages. There are other miscellaneous changes that go with that:

  1. change the cgi_editpage @page_locs code so that creating foo from a/b/c prefers a/b/foo and then a/b/c/foo, but if creating foo from a/b/c/, then prefer a/b/c/foo. I'm not really sure why the original was doing what it did (why trim terminal / if no pages end in /?), so this part might break something.
  2. tweak things so that index.rss and index.atom are generated if inlining from 'foo/'
  3. backlinks from "foo/bar" to "foo/" trim common prefixes as long as there would be something left when the trimming is done (i.e. don't trim "foo/")
  4. parentlinks for "foo/" are the same as for "foo", except one directory higher
  5. rewrite parentlinks so that bestlink is called at each level
  6. basename("foo/") => basename("foo")
  7. links to "foo/" are translated to "foo/index.html" rather than "foo/.html". (Links to "foo/" might be preferred, but that causes an infinite loop in writefile, because apparently dirname("foo/") == "foo/" on my system for reasons that aren't clear to me.)
  8. pagetitle("foo/") => pagetitle("foo")
  9. clip the final slash when matching a relative pagespec, even if there are no characters after it (otherwise inlining "./a" from "foo/" gets translated to "foo//a")

In case whitespace gets garbled, I'm also leaving a copy of the patch on my site. It should apply cleanly to a freshly unpacked ikiwiki-1.42. You can also see it in action here. --Ethan

I independently implemented a similar, but smaller patch. (It's smaller because I only care about rendering; not CGI, for example.) The key to this patch is that "A/B/C" is treated as equivalent to "A/B/C/index". Here it is: --Per Bothner

Note I handle setting the url; slightly differently. Also note that an initial "index" is ignored. I.e. a page "A/B/index.html" is treated as "A/B".

This is actually a pretty cool hack. I'll have to think about whether I like it better than my way though :) --Ethan


How about doing the index stuff only on the output side? (Or does the latter patch do it? I haven't tried them.) That is, render every foo.type for the rendered types (mdwn etc.) as foo/index.html, generating links to foo/ instead of foo.html, but not earlier than the point where the .html as presently appended to the page name. Then you just flip a build time option on an existing wiki without any changes to that, and the pages appear elsewhere. The index.type files might be left out of this scheme, though (and the top-level one, of course, has to). --[[tuomov]]

Well, get around to wasting time on it after all, and here's the patch. The -use_dirs option will cause everything to be rendered inside directories. There may still be some problems with it, that need looking into (it doesn't e.g. check for conflicts between foo/index.mdwn and foo.mdwn), but seems to work well enough for me... The patch also improves, I think, the parentlinks code a little, as it uses generic routines to actually find the target location now. The only places where the use_dirs option is used is htmlpage, in fact, although other specific kludges needed to be removed from other points in the code.

FWIW, use_dirs.diff applies cleanly, and works well for me. Given that it makes this behaviour optional, how about merging it? I have some follow-up patches which I'm sitting on for now. ;-) -- Ben

How do you apply a patch created by svn diff? I've been curious about this for a long time. The use_dirs patch looks OK but I'd like to play with it. --Ethan

Just do svn co svn://ikiwiki.kitenet.net/ikiwiki/trunk ikiwiki then cd ikiwiki && patch -p0 <use_dirs.diff. :-) Same would work with a tarball as well.


First pass over Tumov's patch -- which doesn't cleanly apply anymore, so I'll attach an updated and slightly modified version below.

  • urlto() is O(N) to the number of pages in the wiki, which leads to O(N^2) behavior, which could be a scalability problem. This happens because of the lookup for $to in %renderedfiles, which shouldn't be necessary most of the time. Couldn't it just be required that $to be a html page name on input? Or require it be a non-html page name and always run htmlpage on it.

  • As we discussed in email, this will break handling of foo/index.mdwn pages. Needs to be changed to generate foo/index/index.html for such pages (though not for the toplevel index).

  • This does make the resulting wikis much less browsable directly on the filesystem, since dir to dir/index.html conversion is only handled by web servers and so you end up browsing to a directory index all the time. Wouldn't it be better to make the links themselves include the index.html?

  • Some of the generated links are missing the trailing / , which is innefficient since it leads to a http redirect when clicking on that link. Seems to be limited to ".." links, and possibly only to parentlinks. (Already fixed it for "." links.)

  • It calles abs2rel about 16% more often with the patch, which makes it a bit slower, since abs2rel is not very efficient. (This omits abs2rel calls that might be memoized away already.) This seems to be due to one extra abs2rel for the toplevel wiki page due to the nicely cleaned up code in parentlinks -- so I'm not really complaining.. Especially since the patch adds a new nice memoizable urlto.

  • The rss page name generation code seems unnecesarily roundabout, I'm sure that can be cleaned up somehow, perhaps by making htmlpage more generic.

  • aggregate.pm uses htmlpage in a way that breaks with its new behavior. It will need to be changed as follows:

  • linkmap.pm uses htmlpage to construct a link and should probably be changed like this (untested):

  • The changes to htmlpage's behavior probably call for the plugin interface version number to be changed.
