FlexLayout
<< | Cookbook-V1 | >>
Note: The recipes here are for PmWiki versions 0.6 and 1.0 only. For PmWiki 2.0 recipes, see Cookbook.
Goal
Provide a mechanism to adjust page layouts based on CSS.
Solution
=note Note: PmWiki versions 0.6 and later already have page layouts based on CSS.
Change the values, and to a lesser extent the meaning, of the page layout variables, and placed CSS IDs on all page elements.

Discussion
FlexLayout makes it easy to stylesheet a wiki site. It comes with a default stylesheet that is very close the original appearance. You can also see a "live" example [(approve links) edit diff]. I also made a minor change to make the "web menu" (see the next page) possible. I will be uploading that as a separate addon.
To use FlexLayout, put flexlayout.php in your local/ folder, and pmwiki.css in your pmwiki directory (because of the way PmWiki protects the local/ directory, you can't put the stylesheet there). Then in your local.php, add the line include_once("local/flexlayout.php");. That's it!
To customize the layout, create a new file in your pmwiki directory called local.css and place the new style definitions there. That will allow you to upgrade the addon without losing your changes.
I managed to keep the css files in the local directory. What is the problem? --Bernhard Weichel
PmWiki/PmWiki is distributed with a .htaccess file that is supposed to deny all access to files in the local directory, to prevent users from executing those scripts directly. --<#>?
Would it be possible to deliver a .htaccess which allows to access css files. Just to maintain the principle that all local customized files are in /local. --Bernhard Weichel
It's possible. Add three lines (the middle three in the following listing) to .htaccess in your /local directory: -- Hagan Fox
Order allow,deny <Files *.css> Allow from all </Files> Deny from all
I also have a problem with wikitext (otherwise, this works great). I notice that the DIV wikitext (defined in flexlayout.php in TextStartFmt and TextEndFmt) doesn't seem to make it from its definition in flexlayout.php to the final page (although a different wikitext element, specifically TD, appears in the rendered page--this must be the default from pmwiki.php).--Paul (pmwiki@paulwelty.com)
help!,I install webmenu on my pmwiki site and want to build a Chinese Nav menu,but it fail,my website is [(approve links) edit diff] and the webmenu is here [(approve links) edit diff] I'm still track the bug now :( I am available at maoj [snail] mail [period] las [period] ac [period] cn
A reminder, if you have errors at top about headers already being sent, make sure there are no spaces after the ?> that closes local.php.
Requires PmWiki 0.5 or later.
How can I modify flexlayout.php to include a "preview" option on the "edit" page?
- In
$PageEditFmt
- change: input type='hidden' name='action' value='post' />
- to: <input type='hidden' name='action' value='edit' />
- under the line: <td id='wikiheadercommands' valign='bottom'>
- add: <input type='submit' name='preview' value=' Preview '/>
- change: <input type='submit' value=' Save'/>
- to: <input type='submit' name='post' value=' Save'/>
- In
$HandleEditFmt
- under the line: "wiki:PmWiki.EditQuickReference",
- add: &$PagePreviewFmt,
