1st Jun 2006 - v.0.5.01 release

A couple of small fixes to the base v.05 software and a facelift to go with it... Download link added.
Too many changes to list here... best to have a read of the changelog and releasenotes.
 

27th May 2006

Must apologize for the very long absense... Work & Home life seems to take up far more time these days... Anyway, I have now loaded v0.5 onto the main site (no download link as yet) to see how it goes... So far all seems OK... happy
More updates & a download of v0.5 coming soon...
 

07th April 2006

Progress Update: v0.5.0 is still in testing. The new directory structure is in place and working well.
I have now added an 'upload' plugin. This allows documents, images, etc to be uploaded to the server.
 

22nd March 2006

I'm thinkning of changing the directory structure as part of v0.5. Please comment on the proposed structure
 

21st March 2006

Another small update, as some news is better than none at all...
The v0.5.0 release is still in development and work continues.
  • ACL maintenance can now be done via the browser.
  • Many small fixes have also been addressed.

 

I am hoping to have a new skin to go with v0.5 to give the site and engine a fresh new look & feel, although this will depend on how long the coding takes...
 

09th March 2006

Wow! It is amazing how fast time goes by.
I have taken a break over the last couple of months due to work commitments, but am now finding some time to continue improving the wiki software.

 

Following some feedback, I found that the utf8 support was a little lacking when it come to editing the files manually. This has now been addressed in the v0.5 release I am currently working on.
I have overhauled the code base (yes, again!) and removed many of the irritating bugs that were beginning to creep in.

 

Just a quick message to let you know that the project has not been abandoned... darren
 

12th January 2006

Release: v0.4.1 \ Happy New Year! A bit late I know but the thought is still there.. So what's new with this release? Mostly bug fixes and tweaks. There is a simple profiler which allows timings between sections. Mostly for my benefit but could be beneficial for anyone wishing to write thier own plugins. \ The install process has now changed and is part of the core code (install.php removed).
 

16th December 2005

Release: v0.4.03. \ Problems reported around the new url handling and link creation have now been fixed. These were introduced in v0.4.01. Thanks Uffe for your time..
 

13th December 2005

Release: v0.4.02. Fixes a cacheing bug, and adds a usermask to username registration.
 

8th December 2005

Release: v0.4.01 now available for download. ATTENTION: Since WikiDX v0.4.01 all source code is published under the GNU General Public License. This version has loads of new stuff so its easiest if you read the changelog. Some of the new stuff includes pretty urls, safeguards against spam posting, user admin, Template improvements, etc....
 

1st December 2005

I have upgraded this site to v0.3.24. I everything is running ok, I will put up the release in the downloads....
 

14th November 2005

Just spotted a function that is missing from the release... Now added to the v0.3.23.zip file...
 

13th November 2005

Time for release 0.3.23
A fair few changes included in this so go to the ChangeLog to get a full list.

 

So what's new then.... Well the main addition is the ACL system (still no admin screens though...). This allows you to control access to your content. There are also the bug fixes and code improvements as usual.
 

27th October 2005

Its been a long time since any updates, so a quick note to say I am still working on WikiDX when time allows.. Time has been of a premium of late though!!
I have the basic outlines of an ACL1) system in place. There is still a lot of work to be done on the admin screens, and management, but by manually editing the control files, it works just fine.
 

9th September 2005

v0.3.22 released
  This release adds Table of Contents (based on headers), some alternate markup for indenting text, group header and footer includes, and a few minor fixes.
  The group header & footer plugin adds the ability to automatically include standard text, pics, etc into each page in a group.
 

25th August 2005

Just spotted a bug in plugin cachepage.php. Currently does not take into account any of the group/path info, just the page name. So /start and /wikidx/docs/start would be seen as the same. To fix, replace all occurencies of
  md5(API::GetPageAttr('Name'));
with
  md5(API::GetPageAttr('FullPage'));

 

 

19th July 2005

Aarrgghh!!!!! caching causing problems on this site. I dont get the problem on my test server..... Anyway, its removed from here for now...
 

18th July 2005

Another release: v0.3.21. Page caching has been added. Basically, if a page hasn't changed since it was cached, the rules processing is bypassed and the cached html sent to the browser. This behaviour can be over-ridden (see plug-in docs)
Also added a couple of API:: commands

 

 

12th July 2005

v.0.3.2 had a couple of minor bugs that have been addressed. I have uploaded it again with these fixes..
 

10th July 2005

Finally, after too long a break, I have v0.3.2 out. This release sees an API2) added. As previously stated, this required rather more of a rewrite than anticipated, but I think it was worth the effort. The code/core directory now has the basic toolkit, ie file & xml handling, diff detection, Rules engine, etc. The code/scripts directory holds all other code (plugins) that make the wiki function, ie edit, browse, etc.

 

The only functionality I have left out from v031 is the password protection. This is being supplied by Uffe Jakobsen via an ACL plugin...

 

 

14th Jun 2005

I have been really busy with work and family this last week and a half, and as such, have not been able to put any time into this project. Hope to get back into things in a few days..
 

3rd Jun 2005

Catch up time, as I have been quite since v3.1 went up...

 

I have been busy in the background adding an API to the wiki software, to allow add-ins to be constructed more easily. Unfortunately, it has not been as easy as adding some wrapper functions, as I thought, and has resulted in quite a large change to the core code (once again!!!!). But the good news is that the core code is now just that, a core set of routines.

 

What this has done is to basically create a Wiki Development Kit, with the basic behind the scenes stuff like file manipulation, XML parsing, Template processing, etc., all contained in a few base classes.

 

To get a working 'wiki', all the Actions, Rules, Commands, etc... are now added as Plug-In modules. Even the most basic actions, ie browse, edit, save, etc.. are all now Plug-Ins.

 

I have almost completed the changes and plugins to provide the same level of functionalilty as v3.1, and will put up the beta site when ready.

 

This new (and hopefully final) approach removes the need for a lot of complexity and knowledge of the underlying structures and should allow for additional functionality to be created far easier.

 

 

20th May 2005

Well finally mananged to get v3 version up and running on the main site... The old v2 pages are still around and can be found here. There are a number of differencies between v2 and v3.

 

A lot more work still required, and loads of documentation (any offers of help???)

 

I have some issues with the install process that means the 'group' sticky bit is not being set.. The wiki still works but its not as I would like it.
 
1) Access Control List
2) Application Programming Interface
