It was calling format hooks for each comment on the page.
When relativedate is enabled, that made it insert <script> tags
for each comment. And the browser loaded the same script over and over,
which was slow on its own. But that was nothing compared to running
the onload even over and over.. especially since the hook system
added a new call to the hook each time it loaded.
For a page with 10 comments, that caused the relativedate DOM parsing
code to run 1000 times, I think. Anyway, it was sloow. Now it runs once.
if suitable alternate text is unknown, then it should not be given.
empty alt text is suitable mainly for purely decorative images.

Some aggregators, like Planet, sort by mtime rather than ctime. This
means that posts with modified content come to the top (which seems odd
to me, but is presumably what the aggregator's author or operator
wants), but it also means that posts with insignificant edits (like
adding tags) come to the top too. Atom defines <updated> to be the date
of the last *significant* change, so it's fine that ikiwiki defaults to
using the mtime, but it would be good to have a way for the author to
say "that edit was insignificant, don't use that mtime".
That resulted in double encoded display when using perl's stub
readline module. Apparently that module unconditionally upgrades
text to utf8, in a quite braindead way.
(Term::ReadLine::Gnu::Perl worked ok.)
Use mtn for monontone and hg for mercurial. The long names cause ugly
formatting in recentchanges, which has CSS that only allows a few
characters for the commit type column.
It will set up an ikiwiki instance tuned for use in blogging.
As part of this change, move the example sites into /usr/share/ikiwiki so
they are available even if docs are not installed.
Asking for only the head worked in my tests, but I've found a site where it
didn't -- apparently ikiwiki didn't get a chance to do or finish the
refresh when HEADed. Getting the whole url, waiting for ikiwiki to finish,
avoided the update problem.
* repolist: New plugin to support the rel=vcs-* microformat.
* goodstuff: Include repolist by default. (But it does nothing until
configured with the repository locations.)
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.)
People seem to be able to expect to enter www.foo.com and get away with it.
The resulting my.wiki/www.foo.com link was not ideal.
To fix it, use URI::Heuristic to expand such things into a real url. It
even looks up hostnames in the DNS if necessary.
A new ikiwiki-transition moveprefs subcommand can pull the old data out of
the userdb and inject it into the setup file.
Note that it leaves the old values behind in the userdb too. I did this
because I didn't want to lose data if it fails writing the setup file for
some reason, and the old data in the userdb will only use a small amount of
space. Running the command multiple times will mostly not change anything.
This leads to better display for OpenIDs like smcv.pseudorandom.co.uk
and thm.id.fedoraproject.org (to take a couple of examples from the
IkiWiki commit history).
None of the comment state needs to be stored through the a later run of
ikiwiki, so move it all from pagestate to a more transient storage.
This is assuming that we'll never want to add pagespecs to search against
the comment state. Pagespecs like author() are why the meta plugin does
store its meta data in pagestate -- the data can be needed later to match
against.
The thinking here is that having both a Discussion page and comments for
the same page is redundant, and certianly not what you want if you enable
comments for a page. At first I considered making configurable via pagespec
what pages got discussion links. But that would mean testing a new pagespec
for every page, and a redundant config setting to keep in sync. So intead,
take a lead from my previous change to make inlined pages have a comments
link, and change the discussion link at the top of regular pages to link to
their comments.
(Implementation is a bit optimised to avoid redundant pagespec checking.)
Jumping to the just posted comment was the imputus, but I killed a number
of birds here.
Added a INLINEPAGE template variable, which can be used to add anchors to
any inline template.
To keep that sufficiently general, it is the full page name, so the
comment anchors and links changed form.
Got rid of the FIXMEd hardcoded html anchor div.
More importantly, the anchor is now to the very top of the comment, not the
text below. So you can see the title, and how it attributes you.
Avoid changing the permalink of pages that are not really comments, but
happen to contain the _comment directive. I think that behavior was a bug,
though not a likely one to occur since _comment should only really be used
on comment pages.
I think it is clearer to have one pagespec that controls all pages with
comments, and a separate pagespec that can be used to close new comments on
a subset of those pages.
Not compacting whitespace is the most important one: now that we run
sanitize hooks on individual posted comments in the comments plugin,
whitespace that is significant to Markdown (but not HTML) is lost.
(cherry picked from commit cb5aaa3cee)
The [[!_comment]] directive is a serialization format, not something for
presentation to users, so we should use the least ambiguous possible
representation.
This delays all comment formatting until the last possible time, allows
us to set metadata without worrying that commenters may be able to evade
it, and means that changes to how a comment is saved can be handled
gracefully. It also gives us somewhere to put the commenter's username
or IP address for later reference.
Not compacting whitespace is the most important one: now that we run
sanitize hooks on individual posted comments in the comments plugin,
whitespace that is significant to Markdown (but not HTML) is lost.
This should ensure that users can't "break out" from the enclosing
<div>, making it impossible to forge comments (assuming htmlscrubber
is enabled, and so is either htmlbalance or htmltidy).
wikilinks are harmless, so we might as well allow them.
Access control for this plugin is a bit odd, since we specifically
don't want to allow comments to be edited - so the check is whether the
user is allowed to edit a deliberately invalid page name,
page/commented/on[smcvpostcomment]. You can put smcvpostcomment(*)
or smcvpostcomment(some/subdir/*) in $config{anonok_pagespec}
or the opposite in $config{locked_pages} to allow "editing" (really
just posting) comments.
