Wiki::Toolkit goes live
by Dominic Hargreaves 13 May '06

13 May '06

I've released the first (announced) developer version of Wiki::Toolkit. It's available from CPAN or http://www.wiki-toolkit.org/download/Wiki-Toolkit-0.69_02.tar.gz I've also released Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Usemod: http://www.wiki-toolkit.org/download/Wiki-Toolkit-Formatter-UseMod-0.19.tar… Other associated modules will be forthcoming, although some of them may be refactored first. Help in testing this release would be greatly appreciated. I will release a testing version of OpenGuides that uses this new module before too long, but in the meantime independent tests (and tests by others using CGI::Wiki/Wiki::Toolkit would be most useful. In particular, we are very interested in the database schema upgrade functionality. At this stage you should consider this functionality unstable and prone to change and not suitable for use on production data but success/failure reports on copies of the database would be most appreciated. Thanks to Nick for the bulk of the new code included in this release. Here, for reference, is the full changelog from the last released version of CGI::Wiki: 0.69_02 27 April 2006 Add missing new file lib/Wiki/Toolkit/Setup/Database.pm to distribution. 0.69_01 23 April 2006 *** IMPORTANT NOTICE *** This release introduces a new database schema which should be considered beta in nature at this stage. It is not yet suitable for deployment on production data and should only be tested on copies of your production data. If it eats your data, you get to keep the pieces. Additionally, functionality exposed in this beta release is subject to change. Rename to Wiki::Toolkit. Support for moderation on a per-node basis. Update to the database schema: added needs_moderation column to node, and moderated column to content You will need to run wiki-toolkit-setupdb to upgrade your database Many more plugin points: pre_write + pre_retrieve (get to change the data), pre_moderate + post_moderate, pre_rename + post_rena me, + post_delete. See test 150 for examples, and the perldoc of Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin for a description. Merge Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Multiple: 0.02 15 September 2004 Applied patch from Tom Insam to fix bug with find_internal_links. 0.01 22 September 2003 Initial release. 0.69 22 February 2006 Update to database schema: added an ID column to node, and changed the content + metadata tables to FK to the ID field, rather than the node name. Also added rails like schema_info table, to hold the current database schema version number You will need to run cgi-wiki-setupdb to upgrade your database Cheers, Dominic. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email)

Important development targets; spam defenses
by Earle Martin 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

What would you nominate? I'll start the ball rolling: I think we need a banned-content plugin. Regular expressions (e.g. "cheap-viagra-levitra.com") could be added to a list. This list would be checked against edit text before the node is written. If a match is found, an "Edit Denied" error is shown. Optionally: the IP address is also added to a banned IPs list that are not permitted to edit. It would be fairly trivial to set up something that gets the big list of http://www.communitywiki.org/cw/BannedContent on a nightly basis. The need for this is clear, IMHO, given that OpenGuides sites are being subjected to a barrage of spam at the moment which comes from a range of different IPs every time - simple IP blocking will not defend us against this. Thoughts? Other suggestions? -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.org/net/earlemartin/

CGI::Wiki renaming to Wiki::Toolkit vote
by Dominic Hargreaves 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hi, As discussed previously, I'm considering effectively renaming CGI::Wiki to Wiki::Toolkit, for the simple reason that the former is quite a misleading name (it has nothing to do with CGI). If I was going to do so, the upcoming developer's release containing Nick's recent work would be the place to do it. So, anyone using CGI::Wiki in whatever context, do you want it to be renamed? Bear in mind the work involved in updating applications to support the new name. I will aim to work on this this coming weekend so answers by then, please. Dominic. -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email)

[NEW] CGI::Wiki::Plugin::Atom - testers needed
by Earle Martin 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Dear All, Since it's what all the hipters are wanting these days, I have implemented Atom feeds for RecentChanges. http://downlode.org/Code/Perl/modules/CGI-Wiki-Plugin-Atom-0.01.tar.gz If someone could have a go at making this work with CGI::Wiki (it should be fairly straightforward) and prove that it works as intended, I'll upload it to CPAN and maybe we can get it in the next CGI::Wiki release. Cheers, Earle. -- Earle Martin http://downlode.org/ http://purl.org/net/earlemartin/

[Fwd: CPAN Upload: I/IV/IVORW/CGI-Wiki-Plugin-SpamMonkey-0.01.tar.gz]
by IvorW 01 Apr '06

I could do with some help. Reading the docs for SpamMonkey, it seems that Simon Cozens is not really wanting to support it. What I'm doing should work, but is failing to detect spam, as in t/003_spam.t (test 6 is todo). I've installed Mail::SpamAssassin, which has set up the etc directory, but still no joy. Thanks in advance, Ivor. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: CPAN Upload: I/IV/IVORW/CGI-Wiki-Plugin-SpamMonkey-0.01.tar.gz Date: Sat, 1 Apr 2006 14:59:32 +0200 From: PAUSE <upload(a)pause.perl.org> Reply-To: 48mn-wuei(a)spamex.com To: Ivor Williams <6bed-rgew(a)spamex.com> The uploaded file CGI-Wiki-Plugin-SpamMonkey-0.01.tar.gz has entered CPAN as file: $CPAN/authors/id/I/IV/IVORW/CGI-Wiki-Plugin-SpamMonkey-0.01.tar.gz size: 11858 bytes md5: bd4cf6c8938a3f6431c37567a703980b No action is required on your part Request entered by: IVORW (Ivor Williams) Request entered on: Sat, 01 Apr 2006 12:42:50 GMT Request completed: Sat, 01 Apr 2006 12:59:32 GMT Thanks, -- paused, v460
