`add_autofile` is a generic version of [[plugins/autoindex]]'s code,
|
|
|
|
so the latter should probably use the former. --[[smcv]]

I'm having trouble fixing this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# FIXME: some of this is probably redundant with add_autofile now, and
|
|
|
|
# the rest should perhaps be added to the autofile machinery
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By "a generic version of" above, it seems I mean "almost, but not
|
|
|
|
quite, entirely unlike". I tried digging through the git history for the
|
|
|
|
reasoning behind the autofile and autoindex implementations, but now I'm
|
|
|
|
mostly confused.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The autofile machinery records a list of every file that has ever been proposed
|
|
|
|
as an autofile: for instance, the tag plugin has a list of every tag that
|
|
|
|
has ever been named in a \[[!tag]] or \[[!taglink]], even if no file was
|
|
|
|
actually needed (e.g. because it already existed). Checks for files that
|
|
|
|
already exist (or whatever) are deferred until after this list has been
|
|
|
|
updated, and files in this list are never auto-created again unless the wiki
|
|
|
|
is rebuilt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The autoindex machinery records a more complex set. Items are added to the
|
|
|
|
set when they are deleted, but would otherwise have been added as an autoindex
|
|
|
|
(don't exist, do have children (by which I mean subpages or attachments),
|
|
|
|
and are a directory in the srcdir). They're removed if this particular run
|
|
|
|
wouldn't have added them as an autoindex (they exist, or don't have children).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Still researching why there's this difference, and whether one or the other
|
|
|
|
would be better for all cases...
