Hi list,
This weekend I finally tried some DokuWiki farming
[http://www.dokuwiki.org/tips:farm2] for the first time.
I was impressed at how easy it is. :)
This also leads to 2 questions:
1. What is the complete status of farming in DokuWiki?
I haven't tested it properly and only clicked randomly around a bit. So,
I was wondering if anyone with a better insight and more experience
could report on what still needs to be done?
As far as I could see, templates and plugins *per animal* are the only
things that are missing? Is there any unexpected behaviour left?
2. Whenever farming will be in a stable state, will it be implemented
into the core?
I think inc/preload.php should be part of the core. If no farm directory
is specified it would be no harm. And if it is specified
($conf['farmdir']?) anyone can add an animal by simply copying the
appropriate folders into the animal folder.
I really like the way Drupal handles animals!
For those of you not familiar with it: Drupal has one directory
('./sites/') which contains
a) all non-core modules and themes (or in DokuWiki terms: plugins and
templates) which are shared across all animals (in 'sites/all').
b) all default config files and more (in 'sites/default').
c) all animals, each in its own directory in the form of 'domain.org'
which contains the site-specific config files, themes and modules!
See also http://drupal.org/getting-started/6/install/multi-site
AFAIK we are already half-way there. The "only" things missing are:
* a particular directory for non-core plugins and templates (this is not
important for farming, but I like it :) )
* animal-specific plugins and templates
I implemented the handy and more flexible way Drupal handles its farm
directory into a preload.php, see
http://www.dokuwiki.org/tips:farm2#variant_of_the_virtual_host_based_setup_like_multi-sites_with_drupal
So, my dream in one line: path_to_dokufarm/domain.org/conf|data|tpl|plugins
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Anika
