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.

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.
I wanted this nearer to the top, but decided to put it after the
add_depends. Reasoning: It's possible with a combinaton of feedpages and
show options to make @list and @feedlist contain completly differing sets
of pages. We want to add_depends all pages in both sets. We could combine
the two lists and add_depends that, but it's slightly more efficient to
defer reducing @feedlist, and add_depends whichever list is longer.
holger reported that decode_utf8 was crashing with perl 5.8.8. Earlier, I
thought that passing 0 to the function avoided this with old perls, but
that was apparently not enough, it still crashes. So, put it inside the
eval, so we can at least recover from it crashing.
The old code actually did the same thing, just obfuscated -- since the eval
use wasn't quoted, it used the modules on load. Thus, the error (not to
mentioned the return) was bypassed, and it just failed on load.
But that seems like the right thing to do, really, so just made it clearer
that's what happens.
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.
Fixed by making the cgi wrapper wait on a cgilock.
If you had to set apache's MaxClients low to avoid ikiwiki thrashing
your server, you can now turn it up to a high value.
The downside to this is that a cgi call that doesn't need to call lockwiki
will be serialised by this so only one can run at a time. (For example,
do=search.) There are few such calls, and all of them call loadindex,
so each still eats gobs of memory, so serialising them still seems ok.
This is not needed now that tagpage returns a page name starting with a
slash.
(Also fixes a minor bug that the edit links started with double slashes due
to the hack.)
This speeds up web commits by 1/4th of a second or so, since perl does
not have to start up for the post commit hook.
perl's locking is completly FuBar, since it's impossible to tell what perl
flock() really does, and thus difficult to write code in other languages
that interoperates with perl's locking. (Let alone interoperating with
existing fcntl locking from perl...)
In this particular case, I think I was able to find a way to avoid the
insanity, mostly. The C code does a true flock(2), and if perl is using an
incompatable lock method that does not use the same locking primative at
the kernel level, then the C code's test will fail, and it will go ahead
and run the perl code. Then the perl code's test will test the right thing.
On Debian, at least lately, perl's flock() does a true flock(2), so the
optimisation does work.
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.
The html links already went there, but internally the links were not
recorded as absolute, which could cause confusing backlinks etc.
For example, with tagbase=tags, if blog/tags/bar existed and blog/foo was
tagged bar, it would link to /tags/bar. But, the link would be recorded
simply as a link to tags/bar, and so later blog/tags/bar would appear to
have the backlink.
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.
* Add an underlay for javascript, and add ikiwiki.js containing some utility
code.
* toggle: Stop embedding the full toggle code on each page using it, and
move it to toggle.js in the javascript underlay.
Google allows has a nice feature, sitesearch, that allows anyone to
limit search results to a specific site. Obviously, this feature can be
used to provide a search engine for the local ikiwiki site without the
need to install any additional software. Just enable the 'google' plugin
and make sure that --url uses the proper hostname. Thanks to Joey for
helping to get the Perl implementation right.
Whenever the edit form is submitted, but not saved, the page location
select should reduce to the currently selected value. This was only done
when previewing before, but is also needed in order to support the case of
adding an attachment to a page that is just being created.
Before this change, the attachment plugin would get a weird value in
$form->field("page"), that did not reflect the actual page location.
