The problem was introduced by the recent noextension patches.
Object autovivification caused junk to get into %htmlize,
and all keys of that showed up as page types.
Because getopt::long is used in passthrough mode, if a known
option like --wikiname that needs a parameter is specified w/o
the parameter, it will not be processed, and passed on through.
So in this case the "unknown option" message is innaccurate.
Make it slightly better by noting that the problem can be a missing
parameter.
It no longer makes sense to keep these functions in editpage, because
serveral plugins now exist that use them, and users may want to disable
editpage, while leaving those plugins enabled.
Most notably, comments uses both functions, and it's entirely appropriate
to disable editpage but still want to have comments enabled.
Less likely, attachments, rename, and remove all use check_canedit -- but
it would be unusual indeed to want to use these w/o editpage.
It used to replace unknown functions with "0" when translating a pagespec.
Instead, replace it with a FailReason object. This way, the pagespec will
still evaluate as before (possibly successfully if other terminals exist),
but a human-readable error will be shown if the result is displayed.
Also, an empty pagespec used to be replaced with "0", to avoid a eval
error. Also use a FailReason here.
It seems to be a failing of i18n in unix that the translation stops at the
commands and the parameters to them, and ikiwiki is no exception with its
currently untranslated directives. So the little bit that's translated sticks
out like a sore thumb. It also breaks building of wikis if a different locale
happens to be set.
I suppose the best thing to do is either give up on the localisation of this
part completly, or make it recognise English in addition to the locale. I've
tenatively chosen the latter.
(Also accept 1 and 0 as input.)
inline has a format hook that is an optimisation hack. Until this hook
runs, the inlined content is not present on the page. This can prevent
other format hooks, that process that content, from acting on inlined
content. In bug ##509710, we discovered this happened commonly for the
embed plugin, but it could in theory happen for many other plugins (color,
cutpaste, etc) that use format to fill in special html after sanitization.
The ordering was essentially random (hash key order). That's kinda a good
thing, because hooks should be independent of other hooks and able to run
in any order. But for things like inline, that just doesn't work.
To fix the immediate problem, let's make hooks able to be registered as
running "first". There was already the ability to make them run "last".
Now, this simple first/middle/last ordering is obviously not going to work
if a lot of things need to run first, or last, since then we'll be back to
being unable to specify ordering inside those sets. But before worrying about
that too much, and considering dependency ordering, etc, observe how few
plugins use last ordering: Exactly one needs it. And, so far, exactly one
needs first ordering. So for now, KISS.
Another implementation note: I could have sorted the plugins with
first/last/middle as the primary key, and plugin name secondary, to get a
guaranteed stable order. Instead, I chose to preserve hash order. Two
opposing things pulled me toward that decision:
1. Since has order is randomish, it will ensure that no accidental
ordering assumptions are made.
2. Assume for a minute that ordering matters a lot more than expected.
Drastically changing the order a particular configuration uses could
result in a lot of subtle bugs cropping up. (I hope this assumption is
false, partly due to #1, but can't rule it out.)
A malformed pagespec will cause $@ to be set when translated, but if
it is used a second time, the memoization will defeat that check. Better to
check for the result not being defined.
This avoids constructing urls like "./../foo/".
The leading "../" avoids any colon confusion already.
I noticed in my logs that certain badly written web spiders (hello again,
Yahoo!) fail to follow urls like ikiwiki was constructing to the right
place (instead ending up at "./foo/")
Since ikiwiki uses open :utf8, perl assumes that files contain valid utf-8.
If it turns out to be malformed it may later crash while processing strings
read from them, with 'Malformed UTF-8 character (fatal)'.
As at least a quick fix, use utf8::valid as soon as data is read, and if
it's not valid, call encode_utf8 on the string, thus clearing the utf-8
flag. This may cause follow-on encoding problems, but will avoid this
crash, and the input file was broken anyway, so GIGO is a reasonable
response. (I looked at calling decode_utf8 after, but it seemed to cause
more trouble than it was worth. BTW, use open ':encoding(utf8)' avaoids
this problem, but the corrupted data later causes Storable to crash when
writing the index.)
This is a quick fix, clearly imperfect:
- It might be better to explicitly call decode_utf8 when reading files,
rather than using the IO layer.
- Data read other than by readfile() can still sneak in bad utf-8. While
ikiwiki does very little file input not using it, stdin for the CGI
would be one way.
This is necessary so that things that fork to the background,
like pinger, and inline ping, don't block other cgis from running.
Note that websetup also calls unlockwiki, before refreshing / rebuilding
the wiki. It makes perfect sense for that not to block other cgis.
* Stop busy-waiting in lockwiki, as this could delay ikiwiki from waking up
for up to one second. The bailout code is no longer needed.
* Remove support for unused optional wait parameter from lockwiki.
This fixes a problem exposed by the recent change to tags
(a2839de936). That recorded tag links as
absolute by including a leading slash in the link. The same could also be
done with an absolute wikilink.
In either case, link() would not match such links, unless the leading slash
was included in the link to match. But that's not right, because pagespecs
match absolute by default. So strip the leading slash.
Note that to keep any existing `link(/foo)` pagespecs working after this
change, the leading slash is removed from there, too.
Add an inject function, that can be used by plugins that want to replace
one of ikiwiki's functions with their own version. (This is a scary thing
that grubs through the symbol table, and replaces all exported occurances
of a function with the injected version.)
external: RPC functions can be injected to replace exported functions.
Removed the stupid displaytime hook, and use injection instead.
Need to use a hook because an exported function cannot be reliably
overridden. The replacement verstion was actually only affecting plugins
loaded after it.
formattime doesn't need a hook, since there's no reason to export it.
This is the easy part of supporting foo/index.mdwn sources for page foo.
Note that if foo.mdwn exists too, there will be a warning about multiple
sources for the same page, and which is used is indeterminate.
indexpages should also cause web based editing to create index source pages
by default; this and other fallout of the option not yet implemented.
Upgrades to the new index format should be transparent.
The version field is 3, because 1 was the old textual index, 2 was the
pre-versioned format.
This also includes some efficiency improvements to index loading, by
not copying a hash and using a reference.
