When creating a page, multiple locations are tested to see if they can be
edited. If all fail, one of the failure subs is called, to log the user in
to allow them to proceed with the edit. So far so good.
But, what if some pages fail for one reason, and some for another? This
occurs when httpauth_pagespec is used in conjunction with signinedit (and
openid or something). When the user is not signed in at all
The former will fail to edit a page because the user was not httpauthed.
The latter will fail to edit a different page, because the user was not
signed in. One of their failure methods gets to run first.
The page creation code always ran the failure method corresponding to the
topmost page location. So, when editing a foo/Discussion page, and with
httpauth_pagespec => "*!/Discussion", it ran the httpauth failure method,
which was exactly the wrong thing to do.
I fixed this by making it instead run the failure method for the *best*
page location. In the above example, that's foo/Discussion, so signinedit
runs, as desired, and we get the signin page.
This seems like it will be the right choice, or at least an acceptable
choice. If a user wants to use httpauth they can always choose it on the
signin page.
My logic was right before. Cleaned up some code.
(Page creation is still a problem.)
Also, I removed the Edit url munging, because that is not
necessary with the canedit hook, since canedit will handle
redirection through cgiauthurl if necessary.
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.
This way users can use all the other alignment values when not including a
caption. Also, it will work without the standard style, and I don't have to
worry about regressions this way.
This is achieved by preparing CSS definitions that emulates the behavior
of the align attribute, and passing it to the outermost IMG wrapper
(A or TABLE) instead of passing the align value to IMG directly.
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.
bestlink was looking at whether %links existed for a page in order to tell
if the page exists, but just-deleted pages still have entries in there (for
reasons it may be best not to explore). So bestlink would return
just-deleted pages. Instead, make bestlink use %pagesources.
Also, when finding a deleted page, %pagecase was not cleared of that page.
This, again, made bestlink return just-deleted pages. Now that is cleared.
Fixing bestlink exposed another issue though. The backlink calculation code
uses bestlink. So when a page was deleted, no backlinks to it are found,
and pages that really did backlink to it were not updated, and had broken
links.
To fix that, the code that actually removes deleted pages had to be split
out from find_del_files, so it can run a bit later. It is run just after
backlinks are calculated. This way, backlink calculation still sees the
deleted pages, but everything afterwards does not.
However, it does not address the original bug report that started this
whole thing, [[bugs/bestlink_returns_deleted_pages]]. Because there
bestlink is run in the needsbuild hook. And that happens before backlink
calculation, and so bestlink still returns deleted pages then. Also in the
scan hook.
If bestlink needs to work consistently during those hooks, a more involved
fix will be needed.
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.
