Hi Andi, et. al.,
Would you mind if I prepared a set of patches to make DokuWiki farmer
friendly?
My intention would be to make the changes neutral to stand-alone
DokuWiki and transparent to templates/plugins. Ie, no changes in
current file locations or directories, no need to know if a file comes
from a central (farm) location or a local location.
My idea goes somewhat along these lines:
- assume farmer is competent systems administrator and not averse to
making some changes in files and able to create file links if required.
- only support linux/unix servers as symbolic links can be used.
Ideally the webserver or cron would be able to create links where necessary.
- use a define to control all farm specific code and prevent unnecessary
file lookups in standalone wikis
- new configuration file chain:
default settings - dokuwiki.php
farmwide settings - master.php
local installation settings - local.php
protected local settings - local.protected.php
non-overrideable farm settings - master.protected.php
- farm copies of all other config files. e.g. smileys, abbreviations,
etc. to be loaded after default files and before local files.
- farm wikis would run from a different start up script
I've not yet come up with an idea how to support both farm and local
contents of lib directory.
Cheers,
Chris
