Hi to everyone,
Currently I use a PmWiki farm, but I plan to switch to Dokuwiki for
private and office usage (In office I want to create a new Wiki). I want
still work with a wiki farm. DokuWiki is not designed to work as farm at
the moment.
After looking into sources I found that one additional constant would
help very much (next to changing the array $config_cascade).
As I use Windows and not an Apache Webserver the hints given for farm
installation do apply only partly.
I would like to create farms very much the same way as with PmWiki as
this is the simplest and cleanest way:
In the Animals main directory there should be a PHP file that contains
some configuration (mainly setting some constants correclty) and then
calls the "doku.php" of the farmer.
First of all I think this is a good way to do it. Therefore I downloaded
the latest sources and started working on it.
I managed it so far (had to change several files so providing this
simply as tip is not a good idea IMHO) with one limitation:
The helper applications like indexer.php or mediamanager.php do not work
correctly at the moment. I have to think about how to call them or what
to change there. (I have an idea, maybe it works).
Nevertheless a standalone dokuwiki still works as before despite my
changes (no additional config necessary).
@Andi and the other developers:
1. What do you think about this approach?
2. I would like to have those (wikifarm preparing) changes incorporated
into the official sources. Do you see a chance for that? If yes, where
should I post the patch? Here?
3. In case this patch(es) will find a way into the official sources i.e.
the actual development version, should I make the patches available,
even if the helper applications do not work (at the moment)? ( I have to
check whether an change of the helper appliactions would help, i doubt
that. I think there has to be a different solution) Or should I post
them only when I'm finished and everything works as desired?
I hope the above states clearly enough what I have in mind. If not
please tell me then I'll try to explain more in detail. Thanks.
P.S. Personally I think there should be a special farminstall script,
maybe later, first I want to have the farm working properly ;-) .
Regards Charly
