[cl-wiki-devel] Living without *wiki-url*
by Ian Clelland 06 Sep '05

06 Sep '05

I've been working with Kevin Griffin on a couple of cl-wiki sites for a few weks now, and I've found that, more often than not, the *wiki-url* variable has been getting in my way. The problem arises out of the way I am integrating cl-wiki with apache -- I'm using proxy and rewrite rules to place a wiki in some directory in a web site (not necessarily /cl-wiki/), and I don't want to have to change that variable if I decide to move the wiki to a different directory (which involves modifying the source code, and re-exporting the lisp world). However, since the '/' character does not seem to be allowed in wiki names, the wiki is always a flat namespace, and so relative links will work in all situations. The only change needed to make this work is a redefinition of current-page to: (defun current-page () "Extracts the current page from the URL." (let ((url (tbnl:script-name))) (subseq url (+ 1 (position #\/ url :from-end T))))) and then the *wiki-url* prefix can be removed from all of the links in wiki.lisp as well as the templates. There's a working example up at http://research.cavewallarts.com/TOC2/ ; I'll have a diff available soon. Incidentally, the apache configuration I'm using in this case looks like this: <Proxy http://127.0.0.1:5757/> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy> RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/TOC2$ /TOC2/ [R] RewriteRule ^/TOC2/$ /TOC2/Home [R] RewriteRule ^/TOC2/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:5757/cl-wiki/$1 [L,P] Regards, Ian Clelland <ian(a)gmail.com>

[cl-wiki-devel] cl-wiki: goals for development?
by Kevin Griffin 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

With yet another common lisp based wiki being released later this year (kiwi), I started thinking about how we'd like to "position" cl-wiki. One thing that I've liked about cl-wiki, as oppposed to cliki, is that it's not dependent on SBCL internals. Maybe we can emphasize cl-wiki's portability. I know it works under OpenMCL, and I'll be testing it under a couple of others, as time permits. Another option is to aim towards responsiveness or smallness of memory footprint. What are anyone's thoughts on this? What do we want to see in cl-wiki? Also- Stefan - what repository will have the development version of cl-wiki?

[cl-wiki-devel] Wiki transforms
by Ian Clelland 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

I don't know whether this will be considered useful or harmful, but I got frustrated yesterday with my inability to create links to off-site resources (other web sites, email addresses, etc), and to be able to have the text of a hyperlink show anything other than the exact page name. So, modelling things after Wikipedia, I've added the following simple replacement patterns: ;; Allow pipe-separated page name and text description ("\\[\\[([^]\">|]*?)\\|([^]\">]*?)\\]\\]" . "<a href=\"\\1\">\\2</a>") ;; Standard [[ ]] wiki links ("\\[\\[(.*?)\\]\\]" . "<a href=\"\\1\">\\1</a>") ;; Use single [ ] for external links. Only allow the specified protocols ("\\[(http|ftp|mailto|gopher):([^\">].*?)\\]" . "<a class=\"external \\1\" href=\"\\1:\\2\">\\1:\\2</a>") (after getting rid of *wiki-url* in links, I moved the complex wiki-linking code into simple-replace, and complex-translate does nothing) With these replacements, I can write wiki code like this: You should really read [[OtherDocument|this other thing]]. Other information is available at this site: [http://www.example.com] The addition of classes to external links let me visually distinguish them with CSS, and there is deliberately no way for someone to make an external link that looks like a wikilink, to prevent some of the more heinous forms of wiki-spam.

Re: [cl-wiki-devel] cl-wiki under openmcl 14.3, darwin
by Kevin Griffin 09 Aug '05

I should have thought of the #p thing. (setf *show-lisp-errors-p* T) hasn't shown any errors yet, while trying to access 5757 So it looks like I'll be trying out the TBNL debug feature you recommended. I don't mind the orgy of setf. It reminds me of a .emacs :) I know that Brian Mastenbrook used cl-trivial-configuration-parser for cl-blog, but that was his way of doing it.

by Kevin Griffin 09 Aug '05

I've set (setf wiki:*wiki-directory* "/tmp/data1") Made sure that directory is world writable. started the listener CL-USER> (wiki:start) #<LISTENER port 5757> But any attempts to access http://localhost:5757/cl-wiki/ only result in a cryptic "An error has occured" Is there any way to get the listener to leave a log file of some kind? Thanks in advance, Kevin
