As of version 2.0, ikiwiki will switch to enabling the 'usedirs' setting by
|
|
|
|
|
default. This *will* break all URLs to wikis that did not have 'usedirs'
|
|
|
|
|
turned on before. You can either follow this procedure to convert your wiki
|
|
|
|
|
to usedirs, or edit your setup file and turn usedirs back off.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Upgrade ikiwiki to 2.0.
|
|
|
|
|
* Force ikiwiki to rebuild your wiki, by using `ikiwiki-mass-rebuild`,
|
|
|
|
|
or manually.
|
|
|
|
|
* Since usedirs is enabled, ikiwiki will have created a bunch of new
|
|
|
|
|
html files. Where before ikiwiki generated a `dest/foo.html`, now it will
|
|
|
|
|
generate `dest/foo/index.html`. But, the old html files will still be
|
|
|
|
|
present too. Remove them:
|
|
|
|
|
find dest -name \*.html -not -name index.html -exec rm {} \;
|
|
|
|
|
* If you have a blog that is aggregated on a Planet or similar, all the
|
|
|
|
|
items in the RSS or atom feed will seem like new posts, since their URLs
|
|
|
|
|
have changed. See [[howto_avoid_flooding_aggregators]] for a workaround.
|
|
|
|
|
* Now all the URLs to pages in your wiki have changed. See
|
|
|
|
|
[[redirections_for_usedirs]] for instructions on setting up redirections
|
|
|
|
|
to keep the old URLs working.

Why usedirs?
|
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
|
There are several advantages to `usedirs`, including simpler URLs, URLs that
|
|
|
|
|
aren't dependent on the underlying implementation (`.html`), and being able to
|
|
|
|
|
use URLs as tags as described in the [rel-tag
|
|
|
|
|
microformat](http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main disadvantage is that it is harder to browse using `file://` URIs,
|
|
|
|
|
since `file:///dir/` doesn't automatically translate to `dir/index.html`. This
|
|
|
|
|
is something one could fix in the browser though.
