TestPageDirectives

Questions answered by this recipe

I am working on a new PmWiki skin. How can I test it under various combinations of the directives (:noheader:), (:nofooter:), (:noleft:), (:noaction:), (:notitle:) without having to edit my test pages a number of times?

Description

Form with checkboxes for easy switching on/off for skin elements.

Installation

1. On your test wiki, create a test page like SkinTest-Compact with various markups and styles you need to test. On that example page, the form near the top of the page allows you to switch on and off certain elements from the skin, like the header.

Here is the wiki code of the form:

(:input form action={*$PageUrl} method=get:)\
(:input hidden skin {$Skin}:)(:input default request=1:)\
(:input checkbox no[] Header label="noheader":) \
(:input checkbox no[] Footer label="nofooter":) \
(:input checkbox no[] Action label="noaction":) \
(:input checkbox no[] Title label="notitle":) \
(:input checkbox no[] Left label="noleft":) \
(:input checkbox no[] Right label="noright":) \
(:input checkbox no[] Search label="nosearch":) \
(:input submit value="Test skin":)
(:input end:)

You can copy it to your own page, and/or adapt it for your needs.

2. If your page is [[Main.SkinTest]], create a text file pmwiki/local/Main.SkinTest.php with this content:

<?php
$FmtPV['$Skin'] = '$GLOBALS["Skin"]';
if (count(@$_GET['no'])) {
  foreach ($_GET['no'] as $d) {
    $d = stripmagic($d);
    if (preg_match('/^[A-Z][a-zA-Z]+$/', $d)) SetTmplDisplay("Page{$d}Fmt",0);
  }
}

Configuration

Usage

Check or uncheck the checkboxes then press "Test skin". The page will reappear as if it contained the checked directives. If your skin is designed to respect these directives, eg. (:noleft:), the related skin elements should be hidden eg. the sidebar.
