Normally, needsignin is called when there is a QUERY_STRING, not when a
form is posted. However, it's certianly possible, and should be supported,
to make a form that invokes an ikiwiki action that checks needsignin.
I encountered this when posting ?do=rename&page=foo. The form is displayed
without checking needsignin, for complicated reasons. Posting the form
is when the true authentication happens.
Previously, prune("wiki/srcdir/sandbox/test.mdwn") could delete srcdir
or even wiki, if they happened to be empty. This is rarely what you
want: there's usually some base directory (destdir, srcdir, transientdir
or another subdirectory of wikistatedir) beyond which you do not want to
delete.
Technically, when the user does this, a passwordless account is created
for them. The notify mails include a login url, and once logged in that
way, the user can enter a password to get a regular account (although
one with an annoying username).
This all requires the passwordauth plugin is enabled. A future enhancement
could be to split the passwordless user concept out into a separate plugin.
The plan is to use this for accounts that are created implicitly, as when
a non-logged-in user subscribes to notifyemail. Such an account has no
password, and login can be accomplished by way of a url that is sent to
them in email.
When the user sets a password, the passwordless login token is disabled.
A file may have no git sha1 if it's in the underlay, or just is not checked
into git. This debug message doesn't add any value and is potentially
confusing.
bestlink returns '' if no existing page matches a link. This propigated
through inline and other plugins, causing uninitialized value warnings, and
in some cases (when filecheck was enabled) making the whole directive fail.
Skipping the empty results fixes that, but this is papering over another
problem: If the missing page is later added, there is not dependency
information to know that the inline needs to be updated. Perhaps smcv will
fix that later.
The cgi shows a fullscreen map, so having this other option to do it seems
redundant, and also layering a fullscreen map over an existing wiki page
doesn't look very good to me (and prevents editing the page etc).
This was not set anywhere, which causes their javascript to crash.
It *seems* the idea is this is the url to use to view the map full screen,
which uses ikiwiki.cgi.
* fix will_render calls to pass proper relative filenames
* fix urls to kml etc files to not assume wiki's top is at /
* avoid building the javascript to display the map in two different
ways between the cgi and on-page maps
* refactor duplicate code
This hook involves urlto, and that needs to have state loaded to work
in all situations.
Note that I can see no reason for the osm plugin to use a cgi hook at all.
This could just as well be a static html page!
Foo->Bar->can("method") works just as well, even if Foo::Bar is not
loaded. Using UNIVERSAL::can is deprecated.
But, I was unable to easily eliminate conditional.pm's use of UNIVERSAL::can
Build links the right way.
This also involved dropping that leading slash on the osm_default_icon.
And since it would require changing the old osm_tag_icons too,
I just removed that relic.
It just didn't work, but also, it didn't use writefile, which is not
desirable for security. Fixed both issues.
Also removed some unnecessary debug messages.
Add an underlay for the osm plugin.
Update links to right path to icon. Note that the osm plugin has a
pervasive bug in how it links to icons; it assumes the site is at /.
I did not attempt to fix that; it should be using urlto() to make a correct
relative link.
When the wiki is in a subdir of the git repo, a web revert would show
in recentchanges as eg, doc/index, instead of just index.
This happened because decode_git_file caches a $prefix that is dependant
on the $git_dir setting, and the revert code runs with a different
$git_dir, which polluted the $prefix for later.
Fix this by adding a with_git_dir that juggles the variables properly.
* Test that adding a text file under a name formerly tracked as
binary (and vice versa) gets the right keyword-substitution
behavior.
* Explicitly set -kkv for text files to make the tests pass.
* CVS warns in these cases about "changing keyword expansion mode",
but this is correct behavior, so filter it from stderr. Filter
stdout the same way in case we ever want to keep any of it.
* In rcs_add(), replace comments with obviousness.
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.

Gave up trying to support multiple YAML backends. The XS one requires ugly
manual encoding to get unicode right, and doesn't allow dumping yaml
fragments w/o the yaml header, but at least it doesn't randomly crash
on import like YAML::Mo has started to.
A diff was already truncated after 200 lines. But it could still be
arbitrarily enormous, if a spammer or other random noise source likes long
lines. That could use a lot of memory to html encode etc the diff and fill
it into the template. Truncating after 100kb seems sufficient; it allows
for 200 lines of up to 512 characters each.
In the code:
* general plugin API calls (in plugins/write order),
* VCS plugin API calls (in plugins/write order), then
* internal support routines (in alphabetical order).
In the tests:
* general meta-behavior (in no particular order, yet),
* general plugin API calls (in plugins/write order),
* VCS plugin API calls (in plugins/write order), then
* internal support routines (in semi-logical order).
mdwn: Can use the discount markdown library, via the
Text::Markdown::Discount perl module.
This is preferred if available since it's the fastest currently supported
markdown library, speeding up markdown rendering by a factor of 40.
That is to say, when only rendering a lot of markdown, discount is 40x
faster. When building a ikiwiki site, ikiwiki's other overhead gets in the
way, but I still see significant speedups. Building the ikiwiki docwiki
dropped from 62 to 45 seconds, for example.
However, when multimarkdown is enabled, Text::Markdown::Multimarkdown is
still used.
While discount contains some nonstandard markdown extensions,
including tables and footnotes, AFAICS most of them are not
enabled by default in the perl bindings.
I consider sticking to non-extended markdown a desirable thing, since this
is probably not the last markdown engine. In particular, sundown is waiting
in the wings to get packaged and get a perl binding.
----
Reviewing all the showdown extensions, here are the ones that are enabled:
centered paragraphs:
->centered<-
image sizes: [dust mite](http://dust.mite =150x150)
<style>..</style> blocks are eaten. The perl binding does not provide
access to the gathered CSS. This is not legal html anyway, so unlikely
to cause breakage.
We had a weird problem where, after moving to a new, faster server,
"git push" would sometimes fail like this:
Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
What turned out to be going on was that git-receive-pack was dying due
to an uncaught SIGPIPE. The SIGPIPE occurred when it tried to write to
the pre-receive hook's stdin. The pre-receive hook, in this case, was
able to do all the checks it needed to do without the input, and so did
exit(0) without consuming it.
Apparently that causes a race. Most of the time, git forks the hook,
writes output to the hook, and then the hook runs, ignores it, and exits.
But sometimes, on our new faster server, git forked the hook, and it
ran, and exited, before git got around to writing to it, resulting in
the SIGPIPE.
write(7, "c9f98c67d70a1cfeba382ec27d87644a"..., 100) = -1 EPIPE (Broken
pipe)
--- SIGPIPE (Broken pipe) @ 0 (0) ---
I think git should ignore SIGPIPE when writing to hooks. Otherwise,
hooks may have to go out of their way to consume all input, and as I've
seen, the races when they fail to do this can lurk undiscovered.
I have written to the git mailing list about this.
As a workaround, consume all stdin before exiting.
Using a file was sorta not right.
Note that when previewing, %pagestate is not saved, so
it has to rebuild the graph every time until that graph is saved;
then previews can use the cached data until the next time the graph
is changed.
Also note that it's stored in the destpage's pagestate. The imagemap
could vary between a page and an inlined page if wikilinks were supported.
Also, I let preview mode write real files, rather than using data: uri.
Which is ok these days, since ikiwiki tracks files created during
previewing, and cleans them up later.
In 875d550f12 I for some reason
made $page be changed when creating a discussion page, which
broke the link on the edit page. Changing page seems unnecessary,
so reverted that part of the change.
