Sample page in this group?

This page contains a list of features being considered for PmWiki development, when they might be expected, and allows people to "vote" on the desirability/need for each feature. [1]? and others can then use the suggestions and opinions here to guide PmWiki development.

How to vote: Each person interested in expressing his/her opinion should edit the page and add his/her own vote according the voting scale. For instance, after 6 votes on item X the last cell might read 523324. Any suggestions or comments can be added beneath the table.

Voting scale: 0=What's that? or N/A | 1=Almost Useless | 2=Somewhat Useful | 3=Very Useful |
4=I need it. A definite must | 5=Without it, I may be obliged to abandon Pmwiki shortly!

Availability: Y=Available now | CB=Available via Cookbook? | IP=In progress | N=Not available

Priority/Voting Table

Remarks, suggestions or comments

• In the body-tag: add ondblclick="document.location='$PageUrl?action=edit';" to enable the "double click page to edit it"-feature
• Would be nice if included pages used the formatting of the page that it was on.
  • An example is that if you did *[[include:somepage]] all lines that were included would have the leading * and get the correct bullet order.
• Daily Recent Changes - make RC not a WIKI PAGE

Well, just take out the editing permisions on AllRecentChanges. The per group Recent Changes are not as critical nor useful

• Author field Not Null - I don't mind anybody editing my site but I don't want them to leave the Author box blank. This must be pretty simple to implement but I don't know PHP, can anyone help?
• Simultaneous Edits / Lock File - The discussion in the forum seems to point the way - I like the use of a 10 minute timer to prevent abandoned locks. While a page is locked, a second editor should be at least warned, perhaps even prevented from editing until the lock expires or is removed by the first editor saving the page.
• Calendar: I would prefer to see the begining of each item for a day within the day cell, instead of a global listing after the calendar. But my level in PHP is a definite handicap!
• My Wiki SQL:Its' wonderful to access database in read function. I wish to write too (and edit!)...
• Forms: 3 levels to consider. Either towards automatic e-mail feeds, or to append to a flat file. Lastly, of course, to add to a MYSQL table. Another Level: Add to particular wiki markup
• Is there a way for an external "applet" to write into or append to an existing Pmwiki page? Am I the only one looking for this capacity?
  Take a look at XML-RPC? GregMorgan?
• HTML
• Would be nice to have a way to change the bullet styles within a list. Example use would be to use a bullet list to represed a todo heirarchy. Offering filled and unfilled bullets would suffice.
• Would be nice to be able to extract the whole site or portions of the site to a HTML read-only format. (Useful for making offline copies.)
• Where do I have to modify the code to change the [1], [2],...,[n] style wikilinks? I want those to be set with the <sup> tag or at least <span class="superscript"> tag...
• Request: changing the way $MaxIncludes works: i think setting the maximum include depth instead would be much better. (would not limit the number of includes like it is at the moment, but also stops infinite recursions, can maybe set to 2 or 3) (i did a quick fix myself, see here TimoH?)
• It would be nice to be able to copy comma delimited text into a wiki page. This way, extensive tables that are best maintained with a spreadsheet or database could be easily ported into (and out of) Wiki. (drfredc@drfredc.com)
• I'd like to see a more moinmoin-like history page. I.e. track authors via cookies rather than having them name themselves (for security) and provide a Comments: entry rather than an Author entry. Don't include all diffs for all edits (that grows like N^2...) but provide pointers to each diff (against any other version, or cumulative changes since a version). --NealMcB?
• I've got a quick PmWikiReview? page at http://www.uuism.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PmWikiReview --NealMcB?
• Would be nice when $AuthDeniedFmt would be translateable and also ther Should be some kind of BACK Button (now solved for my page with\\ <p><a href="javascript:window.back()">Zurück</a></p>) at the end of $AuthDeniedFmt)
• For intranets it would be great to have links to the local file system file://localhost/ - if you have permissions, the links display, otherwise not. DocuWiki? does this. Untold uses.
  PmWiki already supports file:// ... -- is there something else it should do? --Pm
