Petko

Hi, I'm Petko Yotov, a.k.a. 5ko. I recently (2004) found PmWiki and I like it very much. I've been working for some time on several other wikis (MediaWiki, Tavi, Wikini, Wacko) and CMSs, but I'm considering switching all my sites to PmWiki.

My contributions

A strtotime MarkupExpression that understands the format "DATE +1 days", in config.php:

 $MarkupExpr['strtotime'] = 'strftime( 
   (@$args[1]>"" ? $args[1]:"%Y-%m-%d"), 
   strtotime(@$args[0]>""? $args[0] : "now"))';

and then, in a page, for the default %Y-%m-%d format:

  {(strtotime "{*$Name} +1 days")}

or, to specify another format:

  {(strtotime "{*$Name} +1 days" "%d/%m/%Y")}

Notes:

• PITS.00792 -- like Cookbook.Textarea
• PmWiki.PageVariables
• PmWiki.Internationalizations - This tip will save you days of headaches!!! See "Notes" section
• Cookbook.PerGroupSubDirectories - the "Per-group sub-sub directories" section
