Question

The wiki.d/ directory can get crowded if many pages are deleted, especially in conjunction with the ExpireDiff recipe. How to store the backup files of deleted pages in a separate directory?

Answer

  • Put a copy of the pageattic.phpΔ script into your cookbook/ directory.
  • Create a new wiki.attic/ subdirectory in your pmwiki folder, and provide it with write permissions (same procedure as for the wiki.d/ directory).
  • Add the following lines to your local/config.php file:
 include_once('cookbook/pageattic.php');
 $WikiDir = new AtticPageStore($WikiDir->dirfmt);

Notes

The location of the attic directory can be controlled by setting the $AtticDir variable in your local/config.php file:

    $AtticDir = 'wiki.trash';

The directory is relative to the location containing the main pmwiki.php script, and should be specified without any trailing slash.
