$EnableGUIButtons

When set to ‘1′, turns on the graphical buttons in the “Edit Page” form.

# turn on graphical edit buttons $EnableGUIButtons = 1;

$EnablePostAuthorRequired

When set to ‘1′, posting of pages requires the author to provide an author name. Otherwise, authors can post without a name.

# require authors to provide a name $EnablePostAuthorRequired = 1;

$EnableDrafts

When set to ‘1′, enables the “Save as draft” button and built-in handling of “draft” versions of pages, where: (1) initial “Save as draft” of an existing page (“Page Name?”) saves changes to a new name (“Page Name?-Draft”), (2) subsequent attempts to edit Page Name? causes Page Name?-Draft to be edited, (3) subsequent selections of “Save as draft” cause Page Name?-Draft to be saved, and (4) pressing “Save” causes Page Name?-Draft to be posted to Page Name?, and deleted.

# turn on draft edits $EnableDrafts = 1;

$DraftSuffix

The suffix to use for draft versions of pages (default “-Draft”).

$DiffKeepDays

The $DiffKeepDays variable sets the minimum length of time that a page’s revision history is kept. By default it is set to 3650 days, or a little less than ten years. You can change this value in a customization file to be something smaller, e.g.:

$DiffKeepDays = 30; # keep revisions at least 30 days

$DeleteKeyPattern

The pattern used to determine if a page should be deleted. The default is to remove pages that contain only the single word “delete” (and optional spaces).

# change delete word to “remove” $DeleteKeyPattern = “^\\s*remove\\s*$”; # delete any page with no visible text, i.e., empty $DeleteKeyPattern = “^\\s*$”;

$EditTemplatesFmt

Name of the page (or an array of names) to be used as the default text for any newly created pages.

# Use 'Main.NewPageTemplate' as default text of all new pages $EditTemplatesFmt = 'Main.NewPageTemplate'; # Use 'Template' in the current group for new pages $EditTemplatesFmt = '$Group.Template'; # Use 'Template' in the current group if it exists, otherwise # use 'Main.NewPageTemplate' $EditTemplatesFmt = array('$Group.Template', 'Main.NewPageTemplate');

$DefaultPageTextFmt

The text that should be displayed when browsing non-existent pages. As default PmWiki uses the contents of Site.Page Not Found

$DefaultPageTextFmt = '(:include $[{$SiteGroup}.PageNotFound]:)';

$EditFunctions

This array contains the sequence of functions that are called when a page is edited. It can be customized to provide additional functions to be called as part of the editing process. The standard setting is:

$EditFunctions = array('EditTemplate', 'RestorePage', 'ReplaceOnSave', 'SaveAttributes', 'PostPage', 'PostRecentChanges', 'PreviewPage');

$ROSPatterns

With this array you can give a pattern as key and a text which should replace it when saving an edited text. See Cookbook:ROSPatterns for examples.

$IsPagePosted

Set to a true value if the page is actually saved (e.g., this is used to tell the Recent Changes? handlers if they need to update).

$PageEditFmt

By default, this is the HTML to be displayed for an edit form.

$PageEditForm

Specifies the edit form for ?action=edit. Defaults to ‘$SiteGroup.Edit Form?’.

$HandleEditFmt

Like $HandleBrowseFmt, this specifies the entire output format for ?action=edit for a page.

$EditRedirectFmt

The page to which an author is sent after pressing “Save” or “Cancel” from an edit form. Defaults to “$FullName”, which sends the author to the page just edited, but can be changed to specify another page.

# redirect to Main.HomePage $EditRedirectFmt = 'Main.HomePage'; # redirect to HomePage of current group $EditRedirectFmt = '{$Group}.HomePage';
