recently fixed TODO items

rss title description

There could be a better way of setting the title and description of the rss feeds. Perhaps through the meta plugin, or extra options to the inline plugin.

At the moment The description is the same for all feeds from a single wiki it seems, and the title is forced to be one word, though I don't think it needs to be.

A few pointers and I might be able to implement this myself. -- JamesWestby

I don't see any problem with the title, it's the same as the title of the wiki page that the rss feed comes from, which can be set using the meta plugin. There are no restrictions to one word or anything like that. Just made ikiwiki emit the following in a test feed:

billy bob's news

Now, the description field currently defaults to the wiki name, and that could indeed stand to be made configurable. Since the current (svn) version of ikiwiki supports long, word-wrapped blocks of text as parameters to PreProcessorDirectives, seems to me the best way would be to simple modify inline.pm to make the descripion configurable by such parameter, with a fallback to the wiki name. You'll need to modify rsspage.tmpl to use whatever new template variable you define, that should be all.

Apologies for the title thing. I tried it yesterday, and it onlt used the first word. I must have done something wrong. I'll have a look at implementing the description. Thanks. -- JamesWestby

Thanks, done --Joey

skip option for inline plugin

How about a skip option for inline? This would allow things like the following:

[[inline pages="news/*" show="5"]]
[[inline pages="news/*" skip="5" show="5" archive="yes"]]

I just wrote a patch. ?skip option for inline plugin --Ethan

RSS links

The RSS feeds on a page should be indicated with <link rel>, so that they can be found by aggregators.

--tumov

I've been wondering about this. Ikiwiki's rss buttons include a type="application/rss+xml" and link to the rss file, and this is enough for at least some auto-discovery tools to find the rss feed. But apparently not all of them.

For example, firefox requires the following:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="index.rss" />

pageindexes

Might be nice to support automatically generating an index based on headers in a page, for long pages. This could be done as a sanitize hook that parsed the html, with a preprocessordirective that controlled it.

link map

An idea: Use graphviz to generate a map of all the links between pages. (Could it be made clickable somehow?)

Graphviz can output image maps. -- ChristofferSawicki

underlay

Rather than copy the basewiki around everywhere, it should be configured to underlay the main srcdir, and pages be rendered from there if not in the srcdir. This would allow upgrades to add/edit pages in the basewiki.

Implementaion will be slightly tricky since currently ikiwiki is hardcoded in many places to look in srcdir for pages. Also, there are possible security attacks in the vein of providing a file ikiwiki would normally skip in the srcdir, and tricking it to processing this file instead of the one from the underlaydir. -- Fixed by scanning srcdir first, then underlaydir, and refusing to add any files from underlaydir if they also exist in the srcdir. However, see security for caveats.

automatic rebuilding of html pages

It seems that pages like Todo aren't rebuilt automatically when a new item is added using the web interface.

AFAIK this is working ok. For example, this page appears in TODO. Maybe you need to force-refresh the page in your web browser? --Joey
