Try to avoid a situation in which so many ikiwiki cgi wrapper programs are
running, all waiting on some long-running thing like a site rebuild, that
it prevents the web server from doing anything else. The current approach
only avoids this problem for GET requests; if multiple cgi's run GETs on a
site at the same time, one will display a "please wait" page for a
configurable number of seconds, which then redirects to retry. To enable
this protection, set cgi_overload_delay to the number of seconds to wait.
This is not enabled by default.
strftime is a C function, it does not return decoded utf8.
Several places in ikiwiki manually decoded it, but at least two
forgot to.
Also, strftime might not return even encoded utf8, if LC_TIME is set
to a non-utf8 value. Went ahead and supported decoding whatever encoding
it uses.
The remaining direct calls to strftime() are all ones that first set
LC_TIME=C, in order to get times that are not for human display.
Since commit c4d4cad3be, the single dot in
a pagespec can be used to mean the current page. While this worked
correctly in link() it didn't work in backlink(). Fix this by explicitly
checking the testpage in backlink against . and replacing it with the
current location if necessary.
This has been a while coming. It turns out that non-excutable setup files
have a number of benefits. Also, I find YAML setup files easier to edit
myself, and I suspect many users will prefer not needing to deal with
perl syntax.
This brings back the old behavior before urlto changes for this case.
It will generate a path like "/foo", which is not right, but is
the same as is generated by urlto($page, "", 1) -- which is what
the code that now uses 1-parameter urlto used to use.
To get an absolute version you can use cgiurl(cgiurl => $config{cgiurl}).
The only place in IkiWiki that seems to actually need an absolute URL
is the openid plugin, and that already uses the named parameter.
"local" here is short for "locally valid" - the idea is that we can use
URLs that are relative in the sense of only having the path part, but
absolute in the sense that they start from '/', such as
'/~smcv/ikiwiki.cgi'. There's no particularly good name that I can find
for these between-relative-and-absolute URLs.
They're useful because in the common case where the pages and the CGI
script have the same scheme and authority component, each page is
identified by the same locally-valid URL when linking from any page or
from the CGI, without hard-coding a choice between HTTP and HTTPS, or
between multiple virtual hostnames with the same path layout. As such,
we can use them in many situations that previously used an absolute URL.
If there's no suitable semi-absolute value for local_url (for instance,
if your pages and your CGI reside on different servers), we can just fall
back to using the absolute URL. I append '/' because $config{url} doesn't
end with '/', but the common case for local_url (on all branchable.com
sites, for instance) is that it's just '/'.
plovs reported a crash when templates were not installed properly,
with a non-useful error about the template object not being defined.
I've audited all uses of template_depends(), and template(), and it makes
sense for them to throw an error if the template cannot be found. All code
with a user-supplied template catches errors already, to handle template
parse failures.
It did not make sense for template_file to throw errors, as some code uses
it to probe if a template file is available.
Avoid the generic "you are not allowed to change" message,
and instead allow check_canedit to propigate out useful error messages.
Went back to calling check_canedit in fatal mode, but added a parameter to
avoid calling the troublesome subs that might cause a login attempt.
Since it already looks for things starting with a dot, I was able to avoid
matching against the string twice.
This also fixes a minor bug; $from may not be defined. Avoid uninitialized
value warnings in this case.
template_depends was adding a dependency on the source filename,
instead of on the page name when a template is a page. Such a
dependency doesn't work.
Cleanly fixed case where destdir file failed to be written because there
was a directory with the same name. This can be detected with no extra
system calls, and dealt with by finding all pages that wrote files
inside the directory, and removing them and the directory.
The other, inverse case would be expensive to detect in will_render,
since it would need to check each parent directory of the file to see
if the directory is really a conflicting file. But prep_writefile
already does a similar scan for symlinks in the path, so I added code
there to remove the conflicting file. This fix assumes that the file
is written using writefile, and not some other means (but using other means
would be a security hole too, so hopefully nothing does).
There are two sub-caces. If both source files still exist, the winner that
renders the destination file is undefined. If one source file is deleted
and the other added, in a refresh, the new file will take over the
destination file.
Set it to true every time IkiWiki::filter is called on a full page's content.
This is a much nicer solution, for the po plugin, than previous whitelisting
using caller().
Using named parameters for these is overdue. Passing the session in a
parameter instead of passing username and IP separately will later allow
storing other session info, like username or part of the email.
Note that these functions are not part of the exported API,
and the prototype change will catch (most) skew, so I am not changing
API versions. Any third-party plugins that call them will need updated
though.
The bug here was that disabling a plugin included thru goodstuff, like
htmlscrubber, caused it to be added to disable_plugins, and those plugins
were never loaded, so could not be re-enabled. Fix by allowing them to be
force loaded when appropriate. (Also that allows disabled plugins to still
record their setup options when dumping a setup file.)
The linktype check was being done on the relativised link target,
but %typedlinks uses the same link targets as %links, so that didn't work.
I think the bug only appeared when tagbase was not set.
This bugfix also let me factor out the common typedlink checking code.
To match calendars, which use local time. Particularly important at
the end of the month.
I checked the history, and there seemed no good rationalle for the
pagespecs to use gmtime.
Problem is that by the time rendering calls render_dependent, %pagesources
has had deleted files removed from it. So match_comment's lookup of
files in there to see if they had the _comment extension failed.
I had to introduce a hash that temporarily holds filenames of deleted pages
to fix this.
Note that unlike comment(), internal() had avoided this pitfall by being
defined to match both internal and non-internal pages.
So RecentChanges shows on the action bar there,
convert recentchanges to use new pageactions hook,
with compatability code to avoid breaking old templates.
Turns out that users with a modified page.tmpl need to modify it on
upgrade, at least to add the FORCEBASEURL (so edit preview works),
so there is no point in trying to retain compatability.
* Removed misc.tmpl. Now to theme ikiwiki, you only need to customise
a single template, page.tmpl.
* misc.tmpl will, however, still be read if a locally modified version
exists. This is to avoid forcing users to update page.tmpl right now.
* Ikiwiki can be configured to generate html5 instead of the default xhtml
1.0. The html5 output mode is experimental, not yet fully standards
compliant, and will be subject to rapid change.
That module is unused now. Long long ago, it used to be used to encode data in
the index. Checked all modules, and every module that uses it imports it.
