=head1 NAME

varioki - Add variables for use in ikiwiki templates

=cut

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This plugin attempts to provide a means to add templates for use in
ikiwiki templates, based on a hash variable set in the ikiwiki
configuration file. The motivation for this plugin was to provide an
easy way for end users to add information to be used in templates --
for example, my C blog entry template does fancy things with
the date components of the entry, and there was no easy way to get
that information into the template. Or if one wants to have a
different page template for the top level index page than for the rest
of the pages in the wiki (for example, to only put special content,
like, say, C play lists, only on the front page).

This plugin hooks itsef into the C hook, and adds
parameters to the appropriate templates based on the type. For
example, the following inseted into C creates
C, C, C and C which can
then be used in your templates. The array and hash variables are only
for completeness; I suspect that the first two forms are all that are
really required.

 varioki => {
   'motto'    => '"Manoj\'s musings"',
   'toplvl'   => 'sub {return $page eq "index"}',
   'arrayvar' => '[0, 1, 2, 3]',
   'hashvar'  => '{1, 1, 2, 2}'
 },

Please note that the values in the hash must be simple strings which
are then eval'd, so a string value has to be double quoted, as above
(the eval strips off the outer quotes).

sub import { #{{{
   hook(type => "pagetemplate", id => "varioki", call => \&pagetemplate);
} # }}}


=pod

For every key in the configured hash, the corresponding value is
evaluated.  Based on whether the value was a stringified scalar, code,
array, or hash, the value of the template parameter is generated on
the fly.  The available variables are whatever is available to
C hook scripts, namely, C<$page>, C<$destpage>, and
C<$template>.  Additionally, the global variables and functions as
defined in the Ikiwiki documentation
(L) may be used.

sub pagetemplate (@) { #{{{
   my %params=@_;
   my $page=$params{page};
   my $template=$params{template};
        
        return unless defined $config{varioki};
         for my $var (keys %{$config{varioki}}) {
           my $value;
           my $foo;
           eval "\$foo=$config{varioki}{$var}";
           if (ref($foo) eq "CODE") {
             $value = $foo->();
           }
           elsif (ref($foo) eq "SCALAR") {
             $value = $foo;
           }
           elsif (ref($foo) eq "ARRAY") {
             $value = join ' ', @$foo;
           }
           elsif (ref($foo) eq "HASH") {
             for my $i (values %$foo ) {
               $value .= ' ' . "$i";
             }
           }
           else {
             $value = $foo;
           }
#           warn "$page $var $value\n";
           if ($template->query(name => "$var")) {
             $template->param("$var" =>"$value");
           }
        }
} # }}}

=head1 CAVEATS

This is very inchoate, at the moment, and needs testing. Also, there
is no good way to determine how to handle hashes as values --
currently, the code just joins all hash values with spaces, but it
would be easier for the user to just use an anonymous sub instead of
passing in a hash or an array.

=cut

=head1 BUGS

Since C evals the configuration file, the values have to all
on a single physical line. This is the reason we need to use strings
and eval, instead of just passing in real anonymous sub references,
since the eval pass converts the coderef into a string of the form
"(CODE 12de345657)" which can't be dereferenced.
