Hi Joey and many thanks for your work on ikiwiki, as usual you give us a very good soft...
I want to be able to edit my website from a navigator (with the CGI) and
from my favorite editor on my laptop. I have managed to use the subversion wrapper
so I have write a post-commit hook with :
cd /~/wikisrc/
svn up
/usr/bin/ikiwiki --setup ../ikiwiki.setup
at the end.
This configuration works for me, the svn wrapper doesn't seems to
do the svn up stuff so I wonder if I've missed something...
Regards.

Hello, I've setup ikiwiki with subversion. I can edit pages from web browser using CGI and, when I go to recentchanges, it shows that modification with "web" word. But, if I modify any .mdwn file, it gets updated in website but it doesn't show in recentchanges entry with "svn" word. If I run "svn ci -m changes", it shows in recentchanges correctly.
So, I think I miss something, because I don't think I must run "svn add" or "svn commit" anytime I modify or create a wiki file.
Thanks
