I would like to allow comments on ikiwiki pages without CGI.
I have in mind something like
- Use a pagetemplate hook
in a plugin (DONE)
- add a mailto: url to each page matching some pagespec
(currently every page gets a comment footer)
- this mailto url goes to an address identifying the page (something like
user-iki-FE653b@host.fqdn.tld). (DONE)
I wonder if it would be more or less natural to put an encoded form
of the page name in the email address? I'm thinking about something
like wikiname+index@host or wikiname+todo+comment_by_mail@host .
The basic transformation would be to call titlepage($page) (in the
C locale), followed by replacing "/" with "+" (since "/" is not
valid in mails). --[[Joey]]
I guess you are right, there is no point being more obscure
than neccesary. I am leaning towards something not
calling titlepage but in the same spirit. --[[DavidBremner]]
-
on the mail receiving end, these messages are either deleted, or ran through
a filter to be turned into blog posts.
- I'm thinking about how the filter should work. Within a
mail client, or as a batch tool to scan a mailbox? How to interact with version control, if at all?
-
the same plugin can check for comments on a particular page next time the wiki
is generated, and add a link. (more or less done)
If the filter just checks in the posts into revision control, the
post-commit hook would haldle updating the wiki to include those
posts as they come in. --[[Joey]]
