Category pages

Hi, this is working, but the category pages are not being created. Is there are way to generate those? thanks. (February 2, 2025)

There is a way to autocreate category pages, see $AutoCreate, however this will only happen when you save a page, and only for the categories linked from that page. To generate all wanted categories in bulk, here is a function to add to config.php:

# Create category pages when a page linking to them is saved.
$AutoCreate['/^Category\\./'] = array('ctime' => $Now);

# Normally you have this defined, or the default one is used.
$BHZip['pages'] = '*.*,-SiteAdmin.*,-PmWiki.*,-Site.*';

$HandleActions['gencat'] = 'HandleGenCat';
function HandleGenCat($pagename) {
  global $BHZip, $Now, $Charset;
  $auth = RetrieveAuthPage($pagename, 'admin', true, READPAGE_CURRENT);
  if(!$auth) return Abort('?No permissions');
  $list = ListPages("{$BHZip['pages']},Category.*");
  $wanted = [];
  foreach($list as $pn) {
    $page = ReadPage($pn, READPAGE_CURRENT);
    if(! isset($page['targets']) || !$page['targets']) continue;
    $targets = explode(',', $page['targets']);
    $wanted = array_unique(array_merge($wanted, $targets));
  }
  $cats = preg_grep('/^Category\\./', $wanted);
  $diff = array_diff($cats, $list);
  sort($diff);

  header("Content-type: text/plain; charset=$Charset");
  foreach($diff as $pn) {
    WritePage($pn, array('ctime' => $Now));
    echo "Written '$pn'.\n";
  }
}

Then, navigate to index.php?action=gencat and type your admin password. --Petko February 04, 2025, at 12:35 PM

[solved] Strange header

(April 7, 2020) Works great, but I am getting a strange header at top of many pages:

Site.GroupHeader self=0 basepage=Site.Operators

Any advice?? (April 7, 2020)

Please upgrade to a more recent PmWiki version, at least 2.2.98, or set $MaxIncludes to a very large number like 999999. --Petko April 07, 2020, at 08:46 AM

[documented] Backup (or exclude) specific wikis in a farm

How does this work with a server farm? Does it back up all the wikis in the farm? How to backup (or exclude) specific wikis?

Added a section in the page. Thanks! --Petko September 01, 2019, at 07:17 AM
