RequireCategory
Question
I there a way to have requirement for categories?
Answer
Put the following code into your config.php file:
## Require Markup
function RequireCategory($pagename, &$page, &$new) {
global $EnablePost, $MessagesFmt;
if (isset($_POST['text']) && strpos(@$new['text'], '[[!') == false) {
$EnablePost = 0;
$MessagesFmt[] = "<h3 class='wikimessage'>The page must contain at
least one category</h3>";
}
}
array_unshift($EditFunctions, 'RequireCategory');

This recipe is nice, but it really needs to exclude a few pages, like 'Site' pages, otherwise you have to put categories on them, which doesn't make any sense at all. However I got it to work by adding this line:
&& preg_match('/^Site\.|^PMWiki\.|WikiSandbox/', $pagename) == false
That enables Site, PMWiki and Sandbox pages to be exempted from the requirement.

the idea is simple, but the only is or not index is [[ if anyone tips this into his text without meaning categories, the system fails ...
