This plugin allows registering template pages, that provide default
|
|
content for new pages created using the web frontend. To register a
|
|
template, insert a [[Preprocessor_Directive|/ikiwiki/preprocessordirective]] on some other page.
|
|
|
|
\[[!edittemplate template="bugtemplate" match="bugs/*"]]
|
|
|
|
In the above example, the page named "bugtemplate" is registered as a
|
|
template to be used when any page named "bugs/*" is created.
|
|
|
|
Often the template page contains a simple skeleton for a particular type of
|
|
page. For the bug report pages in the above example, it might look
|
|
something like:
|
|
|
|
Package:
|
|
Version:
|
|
Reproducible: y/n
|
|
Details:
|
|
|
|
The template page can also contain [[!cpan HTML::Template]] directives,
|
|
similar to other ikiwiki [[templates]]. Currently only one variable is
|
|
set: `<TMPL_VAR name>` is replaced with the name of the page being
|
|
created.

|
|
|
It's generally not a good idea to put the `edittemplate` directive in
|
|
the template page itself, since the directive would then be included as
|
|
part of the template on new pages, which would then in turn be registered
|
|
as templates. If multiple pages are registered as templates for a new page,
|
|
an arbitrary one is chosen, so that could get confusing.
