XMLPageStore

Questions answered by this recipe

Store pages as XML.

• pages easily editable in plain text editor
• better handled by versioning systems (text is no longer single long line)
• export/import pages using various tools with XML support

Description

The XMLPageStore.phpΔ script stores pmwiki pages into xml files in the wiki.d/ directory.

Installation

To use this script, simply place it in your cookbook directory and add the following lines to local/config.php:

  $EnablePageStoreXML = 1;
  include_once('cookbook/XMLPageStore.php');
  $WikiDir = new XMLPageStore('wiki.d/{$FullName}');

There's no need to convert or modify your existing pages; xmlpagestore.php can read existing pages without any difficulty. As pages are edited and saved, they will be then saved as XML files in wiki.d/. Please make sure the above cookbook script is loaded before other scripts.

If you want to convert all of your files at once append the following line to local/config.php:

    ConvertXML();

Configuration

Use $EnablePageStoreXML variable to enable/disable writing xml files.
