* pagestats: Class parameter can be used to override default class for
custom styling.
* pagestats: Use style=list to get a list of tags, scaled by use like
in a tag cloud. This is useful to put in a sidebar.
* Rework example blog front page.
The meta title data set by comments needs to be encoded the same way that
meta encodes it. (NB The security implications of the missing encoding
are small.)
Note that meta's encoding of title, description, and guid data, and not
other data, is probably a special case that should be removed. Instead,
these values should be encoded when used. I have avoided doing so here
because that would mean forcing a wiki rebuild on upgrade to have the data
consitently encoded.
Colons are not allowed at the start of urls, because it can be interpreted
as a protocol, and allowing arbitrary protocols can be unsafe
(CVE-2008-0809). However, this check was too restrictive, not allowing
use of eg, "video.ogv?t=0:03:00/0:04:00" to seek to a given place in a
video, or "somecgi?foo=bar:baz" to pass parameters with colons.
It's still not allowed to have a filename with a colon in it (ie
"foo:bar.png") -- to link to such a file, a fully qualified url must be
used.
Since Firefox version 3, it's done aggressive caching of visited pages, and
does not, by default, check if the cached content is still valid when
reloading or revisiting a page. By default, Firefox seems to not re-contact
the web server at all. Compare with eg, Epiphany and Chromium, which appear
to always check, and get back a 304 when the page is unchanged.
This header makes Firefox do the right thing, at least for html files. It
still over-caches if css, javascript, images, etc, are changed.
The info is stored in the session database, not the user database.
There should be no reason to need it when a user is not logged in.
Also, hide the email field in the preferences page for openid users.
Note that the email and username are not yet actually used for anything.
The email will be useful for gravatar, while the username might be used
for a more pretty display of the openid.
* moderatedcomments: Added moderate_pagespec that can be used
to control which users or comment locations are moderated.
This can be used, just for example, to moderate http://myopenid.com/*
if you're getting a lot of spammers from one particular openid
provider (who should perhaps answer your emails about them),
while not moderating other users.
* moderatedcomments: The moderate_users setting is deprecated. Instead,
set moderate_pagespec to "!admin()" or "user(*)" instead.
This prevented comments containing some utf-8, including euro sign, from
being submitted. Since md5_hex is a C implementation, the string has to be
converted from perl's internal encoding to utf-8 when it is called. Some
utf-8 happened to work before, apparently by accident.
Note that this will change the checksums returned.
unique_comment_location is only used when posting comments, so the checksum
does not need to be stable there.
I only changed page_to_id for completeness; it is passed a comment page
name, and they can currently never contain utf-8.
In teximg, the bug could perhaps be triggered if the tex source contained
utf-8. If that happens, the checksum will change, and some extra work might
be performed on upgrade to rebuild the image.
This was not doable before, but when I added transitive dependency handling
in the big dependency rewrite, it became possible to include a comment
count when inlining.
This also improves the action link when a page has no comments. It will
link direct to the cgi to allow posting the first comment. And if the page
is locked to prevent posting new comments, the link is no longer shown.
Now that openiduser is in IkiWiki core, it's ok to have passwordauth check
for it, and avoid displaying useless password fields when showing
preferences for an openid.
Also improved the styling of the display of the openid in the preferneces
page.
Consider a template like:
[[!template type=note text="""
[[!inline pages="*foo*"]]
"""]]
The text parameter is htmlized before being passed into the template (in
case the template wraps it in a <span> that prevents markdown from
htmlizing it later).
But, when markdown sees "*foo*", it turns that into <em>foo</em>.
Later, when preprocessing the inline directive, that leads to suprising
results.
To fix this, I made template parameters be preprocessed (and filtered)
before being htmlized.
Note that I left in the preprocessing (and filtering) of the template
output at the end. That's still relevant when the template itself contains
preprocessor directives.
Note that there is an associated po4a warning when a page is empty:
Use of uninitialized value $file in substitution (s///) at /usr/share/perl5/Locale/Po4a/Text.pm line 205.
I've filed a bug with po4a about that, but the important thing is fixing
the crash here.
The new git-notes feature in git 1.6.6 changes git log output in a way that
broke ikiwiki's parser if notes are added to commits.
I decided to deal with this by disabling notes when ikiwiki uses git,
by setting GIT_NOTES_REF="". AFAICS, looking up notes when dumping logs
will only waste time, since it does not currently seem to make sense for
ikiwiki to do anything with the notes.
I noticed that chromium was not hyperlinking the areas in the object-based
linkmap, while img works ok. Dunno why, but img based is nicer anyway since
it is allowed right through the htmlscrubber with no workarounds.
On second though, you might want a wide-open wiki with some locked
pages that cannot be edited online.
So, the right thing for lockedit to do when there are no auth plugins is
to just say the page cannot be edited.
Problem here was that no charset http header was being sent.
I fixed this globally by making cgi_custom_failure send the header.
Required changing its parameters.
The crux of the problem is that the cgi object has raw values not converted
to utf-8, and rename was using its fields. Also fixed a missed place where
the form object did not get its fields utf-8 encoded.
I noticed the onload hook running twice sometimes when using chromium.
Change from using arguments.callee.done to a onload_done variable fixed it.
I guess that the callee differed in chromium.
Probably the cause of the problem is that chrome supports both
window.onload and document.addEventListener.
Speedup of about 25% for small inlines; could be much larger for inlines of
many, or complex pages.
Not bloating memory with excessive memoization data was the key to this.
The method chosen does not squeeze out every erg of speed possible when
inlines are nested, but that's rare. It uses less memory than other
optimisation hacks (I'm looking at you,
f937c1fb80 !) already used in inline.pm.
Unlike generic meta foo tags, meta description is known to be safe, so can
be special cased to be allowed despite the html scrubber. This makes meta
description much more useful, since it is otherwise limited to being used
by other plugins like map.
My experience is that when inlines are nested, the old behavior of
generating feeds for the nested inlines was never really desired. Since the
feeds were numbered sequentially, the numbers could easily change, and it did
not make sense to subscribe to or use those feeds. And generating those nested
feeds often meant a lot of unnecessary calculation, and data being written.
So, I dropped them.
Looking back, nested feeds originally were a free side effect of properly
handing multiple feeds on one page. Of course, that is still supported.
I chose not to have it override style.css, because style.css is not really
intended to be edited; the one from the underlay is intended to be used as
a base that local.css overrides.
I chose to use a plugin rather than changing the default behavior, both
because I didn't want to have to worry about possibly breaking backwards
compatability (though this seems unlikely), and because it seemed cleaner
to not include style template parameters in the main page template code.
I suppose someone might want a way to not override the toplevel
local.css, but instead include it as well as foo/local.css. Probably the
best way to do that would be to have foo/local.css @import ../local.css
(modulo browser compatability issues). Alternatively, edit page.tmpl
to always include the toplevel local.css, or swap out this plugin for
another one.
When redirecting to a page, ie, after editing, ensure that the url is
uri-encoded. Most browsers other than MSIE don't care, but it's the right
thing to do.
The known failure case involved editing a page that had utf-8 in the name
using MSIE.
Before, the htmllink would display the link to the template as if it were a
wikilink, but what was stored was not, which could lead to confusing
situations.
This will be a bit more expensive, but --getctime does not need to be fast.
And getting the real creation time a very useful when untangling blog
histories that involve renames.
Benchmarking refresh of a a wiki with 25 thousand pages showed
file_pruned() using most of the time. But, when refreshing, ikiwiki already
knows about nearly all the files. So we can skip calling file_pruned() for
those it knows about. While tricky to do, this sped up a refresh (that
otherwise does no work) by 10-50%.
This makes it more efficient.
It also fixes the same bug that I fixed in orphans recently,
that only changes to the set of displayed pages were considered (or amoung),
which missed changes to links on other pages to those.
Probably this bug was never noticed because pagestats is most often put
on a blog type page, which gets updated anyway when posts change,
and thus the tag cloud was updated.
This makes it more efficient.
It also fixes a longstanding bug, where if only a small set of pages were
considered by orphans, changes to links on other pages failed to cause an
update.
Here I was bitten by perl's aliasing of foreach variables
to the loop array contents, and match_link accidentially changed
the contents of %links.
In Jon's testcase, a tag added an absolute link, which was
made relative by the above bug, and then the link was added
again in preprocess, and turned into a duplicate.
I had assumed that an image shown full size did not need add_depends, since
a change would not need a change to the displaying page.
But this is not true if the image is modified and its size changes. Then
the page needs to update its img tag to reflect the current size.
If an image was resized smaller, with width and height specified to values
that did not fit its aspect ratio, the image tag with/height were not
adjusted to the actual size imagemagick chooses.
This was broken by 03449610d6.
To fix it right, it unfortunatly needs to always read the src image now,
in order to determine if the image is being displayed larger, or resized
smaller. When resized smaller, it then always uses the size of the
thumbnail, while for larger it calculates the size.
(Only way to get rid of this sometimes extra image read would be to change
it to not allow displaying images larger.)
I weakended the regexp, so this matches ipv6 addresses too. It does not
ensure that the address is valid, but that should not matter here.
Note that addresses ending in "::" are not matched, so eg, the unspecified
address will not match -- but should never appear here anyway.
TeX has configuration options that prevent unsafe things like shell
escapes and insecure file reads/writes. Turn all of them on.
teximg's regex-based blacklist does not suffice. For instance:
[[!teximg code="""
\catcode`\%=0
%input{/etc/passwd}
"""]]
Remove the blacklist, since the TeX configuration options seal off the
underlying mechanisms more safely, and the blacklist blocks other TeX
commands that can prove useful.
Although imagemagick handles even really large sizes sanely, using a page
file, doing so would just waste time and disk space, since the browser
can be told to resize it larger.
During backlink calulation, all links are examined and broken links can
be detected for free, so store a list of broken links and have brokenlinks
use it.
Exposing the %brokenlinks structure is a bit ugly, but the speedup seems
worth it: Around 1 second for wikis the size of the doc wiki that use
brokenlinks.
By adding this setting, we get both more configurability, and a minor
optimisation too, since gettext does not need to be called continually
to get the Discussion value.
This was impressively broken. add_depends was being called with params
backwards, and on parameter was set to the name of the generated
file, which isn't in the source.
Now updates to images will update the page that contains them, thus
updating them. This is unncessary for fullsize images, so skipped.
openiduser previously used a constructor that no longer works in 2.x.
However, all we actually want is the (undocumented) DisplayOfURL function
that is invoked by the display method, so try to use that.
(cherry picked from commit c3dd0ff5c7c10743107f203a5b456fdcd1b171df)
Besides being wrong to do, this could lead to the wrong item
being expired, as follows: If B is added and at the same time
A is changed, then A's ctime may be set to the current time,
while B's is set to its creation time. Thus the new item, A,
is incorrectly removed as older.
(This interacted especially badly with the bug fixed by
90b4d079605b72bb50d1da41402d994960e10937.)
The aggregate state merge code neglected to merge changes to the md5
field of an item. Therefore, if an item's md5 changed after initial
aggregation, it would be updated, and rewritten, each time thereafter.
This was wasteful and indirectly led to some expire problems.
The test suite was emitting a lot of ugly gettext warnings;
setting LC_ALL didn't solve the problem for all locale setups
(since ikiwiki remaps it to LANG, and ikiwiki didn't know about
the C locale).
People also seem generally annoyed by the messages when
Locale::Gettext is not installed, and I suspect will be
generally happier if it just silently doesn't localize.
The optimisation came about when I noticed that the gettext
sub was doing rather a lot of work each call just to see
if localisation is needed. We can avoid that work by caching,
and the best thing to cache is a version of the gettext sub
that does exactly the right thing.
This was slightly complicated by the locale setting,
which might need to override the original locale (or lack
thereof) after gettext has been called. So it needs to invalidate
the cache in that case. It used to do it via a global variable,
which I am happy to have also gotten rid of.
Do not allow an unterminated """ string to be treated as a series of bare
words. Fixes runaway regexp recursion/backtracking in strange situations.
(See 1d57a21c98 for test case.)
Rationalle: Comments need to be user-editable so that they can be posted
via git commit etc.
The _comment directive is still supported, for back-compat.
format: Provide a htmlizefallback hook that other plugins can use to
handle formats that are not suitable for general-purpose htmlize hooks.
highlight: Use the hook to allow formatting of any language/extension,
without it needing to be enabled for standalone source files.
highlight: If the highlight perl binding is not available, fallback
safely to a passthrough mode.
And avoid a whole class of potential security problems (though
none that I know of actually existing..), by avoiding
performing any string interpolation on user-supplied data when translating
pagespecs.
This is sorta an optimisation, and sorta a bug fix. In one
test case I have available, it can speed a page build up from 3
minutes to 3 seconds.
The root of the problem is that $links{$page} contains arrays of
links, rather than hashes of links. And when a link is found,
it is just pushed onto the array, without checking for dups.
Now, the array is emptied before scanning a page, so there
should not be a lot of opportunity for lots of duplicate links
to pile up in it. But, in some cases, they can, and if there
are hundreds of duplicate links in the array, then scanning it
for matching links, as match_link and some other code does,
becomes much more expensive than it needs to be.
Perhaps the real right fix would be to change the data structure
to a hash. But, the list of links is never accessed like that,
you always want to iterate through it.
I also looked at deduping the list in saveindex, but that does
a lot of unnecessary work, and doesn't completly solve the problem.
So, finally, I decided to add an add_link function that handles deduping,
and make ikiwiki-transition remove the old dup links.
When finding the pageurl, it was calling bestlink unnecessarily.
Since at this point $page contains the full name of the page that
is being inlined, there is no need to do bestlink's scan
for it.
This is only a minor optimisation, since bestlink is only called
once per displayed, inlined page.
* pagespec_match_list: New API function, matches pages in a list
and throws an error if the pagespec is bad.
* inline, brokenlinks, calendar, linkmap, map, orphans, pagecount,
pagestate, postsparkline: Display a handy error message if the pagespec
is erronious.
* Add IkiWiki::ErrorReason objects, and modify pagespecs to return
them in cases where they fail to match due to a configuration or syntax
error.
* inline: Display a handy error message if the inline cannot display any
pages due to such an error.
This is perhaps somewhat incomplete, as other users of pagespecs do not
display the error, and will eventually need similar modifications to inline.
I should probably factor out a pagespec_match_all function and make it throw
ErrorReasons.
If the server has a clock running a bit ahead of the web browsing client,
relativedate could cause somewhat confusing displays like "3 seconds from now"
for just posted things.
As a hack, avoid displaying times in the future if they're less than a
small slip forward. I chose 30 minutes because both client and server could
be wrong in different directions, while it's still close enough that "just
now" is not horribly wrong.
This works around an enormous (and, in this context, enormously confusing)
message that git has begun to print when one attempts to push changes into
a non-bare repo.
As a bonus, it now tests whether ikiwiki-makerepo works.
Well, that was a PITA.
Luckily, this doesn't break guids to comments in rss feeds,
though it does change the links.
I haven't put in a warning about needing to rebuild to get
this fix. It's probably good enough for new comments to get the
fix, without a lot of mass rebuilding.
If an inlined page contains a floating element, this ensures
that the footer appears beneath it, and prevents the floating element from
possibly leaking down to the next inlined page.
