Plan for CGI::Wiki database refactoring
by Nick Burch 23 Feb '06

23 Feb '06

Hi All I'm planning to make some changes to CGI::Wiki with Dom's help, mostly to the database structure. Currently, the primary key is the name of the entry. This means the name is stored in all 4 tables (de-normalised), and not always with the same column name in each table (name vs node) We are proposing to add a numeric id field to node. We will then replace name in content and node in metadata with node_id, the id of the node. Oh, and then we'll do a database upgrade script, to take people from the current de-normalised form to the normalised form. Finally, we're going to add a version table to the database, much like with Ruby On Rails. That will make future upgrades easiler, since the upgrade script will be able to tell what version you currently have Nick

backlinks in CGI::Wiki

Hi, I know this must be a stupid question, but... how do I create links between nodes in my wiki?... I can see the methods 'list_backlinks' etc in CGI::Wiki but can't see how to add the links in the first place. Thanks very much in advance, Matthew -- Matthew Betts, Post Doc, Structural Bioinformatics EMBL, Meyerhofstrasse 1, D-69117 Heidelberg, Germany mailto:betts@embl.de Phone: +49 6221 387 8305 Fax: +49 6221 387 8519

Perhaps we could have an OpenGuides::* in the openguides trac/repo and CGI::Wiki::* in a new cgi-wiki trac/repo? What's the maintenance status of CGI::Wiki these days? ISTR it's still Kake's but I've not seen any activity on it for a long time.
