DokuWiki Changes & Added Plugins

As you may have guessed by now , we use the open source project DokuWiki to power this website.

Our goal is to keep DokuWiki stock and only make changes where we're allowed to (in /conf/ and via plugins). This allows the DocuWiki Upgrade plugin to automagically update us to the latest version.

Changes made to DokuWiki

- Various settings in the Admin > Configuration Manager. See How To Use and Configuring DokuWiki

- Added /conf/footer.html to display Trace: and You Are Here: and our copyright notice as needed. See Template: Supported Include Hooks

. Added /conf/local.protected.php to ensure Dokuwiki uses the local Arizona time zone. See Configuration Options

- Added /conf/userall.css to hide and reveal page elements as needed. See DokuWiki CSS Stylesheets

For a complete list of changes, see the SVCT Wiki Change Log.

Additional Plugins

DokuWiki comes with a number of preinstalled plugins. Here are additional ones that we've added, and why.

EnforceSummary - Ensure that volunteers updating a page include the reason why (or click Minor Changes). We'll see if it encourages people to leave a summary of their changes.

LoginDelay - Used to slow down hackers trying to guess passwords.

Move - Easily move pages and namespaces including media files and automatically adjusts all links and media references that point to these pages. WARNING: Does not automatically update the Access Control List.

PassPolicy - Used to enforce robust passwords.

prosemirror - Implements the WYSIWYG editor which allows volunteers to edit webpages without having to deal with all the formatting syntax.

smtp - Allows us to send emails thru wiki.admin@svcommunitytheatre.org. FIXME need to set up!

Stale - Used to clean out the website cache, especially after rearranging the website, like with the Move plugin.

templatepagename - Used to allow template pages to be edited from within the website.

Video Sharing Site - Should make embedding videos from YouTube and Vimeo easier. See the link for how to use. (Not yet documented.)

Wrap - Allows you to do a lot of different formatting tricks that are not part of standard the prosemirror WYSIWYG editor. Click the link for details if you want to try it out. Yes, it's convoluted, but nice to know you got the formatting options if you really need 'em. Part of a standard DocuWiki installation, but wanted to note it here. (Not yet documented.)
