PageVariables-Talk

$BaseName always gives a fully-qualified name like "PmWiki.PageVariables". If you add

$BaseNamePatterns['/^[^\.]+\./'] = '';

then you get just the name part. - Maxim? October 08, 2009, at 07:41 PM

$WikiTitle PageVariable

The following does not seem to work:

* {$WikiTitle}: {*$Name}

The variable {$WikiTitle} was defined in version 2.2.77 (2015-06-19). To define it in earlier versions, see the section Custom page variables. --Petko May 18, 2016, at 12:09 AM

I see! Thank you for your help. -- Anri (2010-11-22 4:50 pm +0200)

Are built in page variable names case sensitive, e.g. (:title my page title:)

* {$title}
* {$Title}

The directive to set the title is case insensitive. Page variable names are always case sensitive. For page text variables, both the directive and the variable are case sensitive. --Petko May 18, 2016, at 12:09 AM

There seems to be something up with $page["ctime"] where the examples to create ctime-based page variables for pages aren't working and returning default date/time (December 31, 1969). This has been happening for a while, just trying to debug seems to be an issue on the back end of PmWiki. XES September 19, 2020, at 03:59 PM

If the page file was created without the "ctime=" attribute -- either before it was added to PmWiki (Version 2.1.beta15 2005-12-28), or the file created by another program or a recipe -- the page will not have it set. In the default documentation shipped with PmWiki, 99 pages out of 128 do not have this attribute. --Petko September 19, 2020, at 04:17 PM

Thank you, can ctime default to the oldest History/diff date for page edits rather than 1969? XES September 21, 2020, at 03:05 PM

Not likely for the core, it may be false/misleading, because of $DiffKeepDays some edit history may have been dropped. OTOH a recipe could do whatever is needed. A recipe will be more efficient if it finds and adds the ctime= attribute to all wiki.d page files in one go, rather than loading all page history when the attribute needs to be accessed. --Petko September 21, 2020, at 03:13 PM
