Dear all,

I'm locally maintaining two small patches used in some of my DokuWiki
sites since quite a while.  I never found the time to actually submit
those for discussion to the list.

Finally, I have cleaned them up, and opened two pull requests at GitHub
today.  Let me briefly outline their contents:

1. Optionally suppress start page in "You are here" navigation
  - https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/pull/124

In this patch series, an additional value for '$conf['youarehere'] is
proposed to omit listing the start page in "You are here".

Especially in combination with $conf["useheading"], the start page may
include too much clutter at deeper levels of the site hierarchy.  With
this additional option, the start page can be suppressed at lower levels.

    $conf["youarehere"] now behaves as
    0 : off
    1 : include start page in navigation (as before)
    2 : suppress start page (except on start page)

2. Add action 'purge' to force page regeneration
  - https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/pull/124

This pull-request adds a new (convenience) action to DokuWiki, which can
be used in custom templates called 'purge'.  It is merely a 'show'
action while purging the cache for the current page [1] by appending
'purge=true' to the URI.

The main use-case here is the inclusion of semi-dynamic pages, which are
not fully integrated into the DokuWiki caching system.  Only existing
pages can be refreshed by users with write access.

I'm looking forward to your comments both via mail or directly at
GitHub.  Please forgive me, if I failed to follow the preferred way to
submit such requests.

Greetings from Oldenburg,
  Philipp

PS: I finally realized that I need to send the mails from a subscribed
    address.  Apologies for any resulting moderation requests from my
    initial try.
