Message-ID: <1026091592.682.444.camel@heyzeus> I'm working with Seth on enhancing the Include macro to be able to abort when it see's "----". This would be really nice for our site (for example I could include the most recent X entries from our RecentNews page on our FrontPage and adjust what's included by just moving the first "----"). He poked around the source for me but not being familiar with Moin had some questions. Anyway, I was hoping for some input on how best to go about doing this. Below are his thoughts on the matter: "You could modify get_raw_body() in Page class to do read lines and then do a string.index('----') to find if each and every line has that string, if it does then stop reading. But it's going to do that with EVERY page that get's loaded. unless you modified it to pass a flag on when to do it and when not to. What I *think* is supposed to happen is you're supposed to build a formatter instance and the formatter will be applied to the page during it's loading, before it gets sent to the client via the Page.SendPage() def."

Message-ID: I believe I have encountered a similar situation, however with the use of Python 2.2 instead of your 2.1. I had to append the moin environment path to the pythonpath environment variable. The Apache log files helped me determine what the problem was. The following is my working moin.bat file: C:\Moin\mywiki\moin.bat: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- @echo off set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\Moin\Lib\site-packages C: cd \Moin\mywiki C:\Python22\python.exe moin.cgi Windows System Environment Variables: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PYTHONPATH=.\;C:\Python22;C:\Python22\Lib;C:\Python22\DLLs PYTHONHOME=C:\Python22 In your case using D:\Tools\Python21 and D:\Tools\Moin\mywiki, the above would be: D:\Tools\Moin\mywiki\moin.bat: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- @echo off set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;D:\Tools\Moin\Lib\site-packages D: cd \Tools\Moin\mywiki D:\Tools\Python21\python.exe moin.cgi Windows System Environment Variables: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PYTHONPATH=.\;D:\Tools\Python21;C:\Tools\Python21\Lib;C:\Python21\DLLs PYTHONHOME=D:\Tools\Python21 I did not need to add the "SetEnv PYTHONPATH "d:\tools\moin" line to httpd.conf because between my system environment and moin.bat file the paths were known. Remember, a reboot may be required to allow your system services to use the new system environment (you could just stop/restart all of them but rebooting is so much easier). If this does not help, try including the associated apache logs.

It is in the tools/faqwiz in the Python source distribution. * It is used (at least on http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw.py?req=home) to support user-maintained online faqs. * Integrating this script, or it's functionality, into MoinMoin would be a Good Thing. Specific functionality: * Add a FAQ entry. Provide for adding a new section. * Delete a FAQ entry. Provide for removing empty sections. * Rename a section. * FAQ Recent Changes. * FAQ Index - Section headings and questions only. * Whole FAQ - The whole FAQ on one page. * Editing FAQ's: A typical FAQ entry: ----- 1.2. Why is it called Python? Apart from being a computer scientist, I'm also a fan of "Monty Python's Flying Circus" (a BBC comedy series from the seventies, in the -- unlikely -- case you didn't know). It occurred to me one day that I needed a name that was short, unique, and slightly mysterious. And I happened to be reading some scripts from the series at the time... So then I decided to call my language Python. By now I don't care any more whether you use a Python, some other snake, a foot or 16-ton weight, or a wood rat as a logo for Python! Edit this entry / Log info / Last changed on Thu Aug 24 00:50:41 2000 by GvR ----- "Edit this entry" and "Log info" are links to a single faq item editor and a diff page. This differs from current MoinMoin functionality in that a single section of a page is being edited instead of the whole (probably large) page. The auto-signing for logged in users (or "guest" for non-logged users) is a big plus I wish MoinMoin did on all edits. FAQ Storage: Each FAQ Item has a unique numeric identifier, presumably based on the order it was added (to the FAQ, or to just the section?). FAQ items, each in their own file, are automatically assembled into the page or pages viewed by the user. (Doubtful that caching could be of use here, unless it's a high-volume FAQ - and then it's going to have expired pages in the cache frequently anyway). That faq items are each in their own file is a plus for uses like generating custom pages based on a search, displaying single sections etc. It would be nice if it could actually use the file/storage format(s) (whatever they are) that FAQWiz uses for interoperability. I hope you don't find this too vague: can I have it a week from Tuesday please? :P) Oh yeah, and web.de didn't make me feel lucky ;-) Regards, David LeBlanc Seattle, WA USA PS: I have a bet with myself about what you're going to say Juergen - I look forward to seeing if I'm right :-) PS2: While you're at it, how about adding the http://www.seapig.org/MainPageMoinMoin blarg plugin into the standard distribution? :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: moin-user-admin at lists.sourceforge.net > [mailto:moin-user-admin at lists.sourceforge.net]On Behalf Of Juergen > Hermann > Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 18:08 > To: David LeBlanc; Moin-User at Lists.

Message-ID: I have an idea for an "anounce-o-matic" page for the python.org MM wiki. The idea would be that a user would click on a link that takes them to a template page. This page consists of a multi-part form with input for describing the new thing (event, software, whatever). Input data would be converted into either a standard page with link(s) from a category or categories selected by the user; or used to update an existing page if it exists. One nice option would be to format and forward the input as a post on (in this case) comp.lang.python.announce. I think this feature will encourage developers to use this feature, since they both update the (just started) Python software catalog _and_ get an announcement into c.l.p.a at the same time. I can see that using MM's existing template page system could work for displaying the form, but where do I put the handler for the result of the form? If I missed something in the documentation, please point me at it. Any help anyone can offer for this would be vastly appreciated. I hope to get this on the python.org python wiki at http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/PythonInfo (in redevelopment, so there are some rough spots). I think this will be a great service to the Python community! Any intrested pythonistas, pythoneers, pygeeks or even normal people should come on over to the URL above and jump right in! (BTW, I already mailed one person about getting the MM s/w updated.)

If I missed something in the documentation, please point me at it. Actually, it's not (only) the template system that is of help here, but the userform system. The only catch is that it's half finished, but if you help with it, it can be completed in reasonable time (say 2-4 weeks). The thing that is finished is freely defining a form in a not too easy, but also not too hard way, and displaying such form definitions, What is missing is actually taking the submitted form data and processing it. A sample is on http://twistedmatrix.com/users/jh.twistd/moin/moin.cgi/WeblogForm and maybe you meant that by "template page system". >http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/PythonInfo (in redevelopment, so >there are some rough spots).

Some sort of more structured FAQ writing system would be great. The main place I've discovered that Wiki's fall down is it gets hard to edit large pages because the text edit boxes have such limited functionality (I can't even make Mozilla search in them to find what I want to edit). The idea I've been playing with is using Include.py to do it. You make each FAQ a separate page and then include them all in the actual FAQ page using the header normaliziation stuff to make it look right. I suspect that this will work but that it won't be much more manageable as all the includes will just frustrate and confuse people trying to actually edit and update the page. > FAQ Storage: > Each FAQ Item has a unique numeric identifier, presumably based on the order > it was added (to the FAQ, or to just the section?).

There are several similar options, like adding a macro that does about the same as the faq.cgi does now, only embedded into the wiki (FaqBrowser). Then, you could have a related macro that allows viewing only (FaqRef). You could also convert the current faq files to moin include pages, and then have a special editor work on those.

Then your problem is that you live in eastern europe, i.e. not in iso- 8859-1 country. You'll have to wait for the next version or that after it, with full utf-8 support.

Well, actually I live in Ireland at the moment, :-) but yes, I did change the charset in MoinMoin config to iso-8859-2. > Or you change your charset in moin_config to iso-8859-1. Yes, that helped. At the end of the day, I don't *have* to use Czech on those pages i.e. can get away with iso-8859-1, but how can I disable the English for everybody, regardless of their client's preferences?

I suspect you'll get a different answer from everyone who answers but basically what you want isn't a wiki and you're probably better off checking out a more traditionally content management system. if you really want to stick with a wiki you might want to check out twiki as it offers some of the functionality you're asking for. however you need to think through what you actually want. do you just want a way for people to find the pages they need, or do you really want to be able to have hierarchical data? if what you actually need is the first then you can do a lot with using categories. what I do at work is have a series of "main pages" which are all prominently linked off the main page (or even better from the template) that use searches to index certain types of pages. as a simple example you could do something like this on one of your main pages (these are categories which exist on my wiki): || '''Words''' || '''Thoughts''' || || [[FullSearch('CategoryWords')]] || [[FullSearch('CategoryThoughts')]] || once you start playing with it you can make it pretty easy to find things that you need. the only real complaint i have is that i spend a reasonable amount of time fixing typos in the category name. i wish that category information was page meta data, new pages were put into a default category if the user didn't specify one when it was created and that the categories could be selected by a drop down box on the edit page rather then having to be added manually at the end of a page. regardless it's working great for us. adam. -- "Make the invisible visible.

I installed Apache some time ago and even had MoinMoin working with it. But recently, I think something changed because the wiki no longer runs correctly. When I access it with a browser, I get the dreaded: Error message: Premature end of script headers: moin.cgi The error message that appears in the apache logs is: [Sun Jul 28 12:09:03 2002] [error] [client 192.168.0.3] Premature end of script headers: moin.cgi [Sun Jul 28 12:09:03 2002] [error] [client 192.168.0.3] /usr/bin/env: python: No such file or directory Now, it's not python that isn't being found, I believe it's some file that the Moin scripts (or libs) are looking for. My next step was to create another wiki following the steps listed under "UNIX Installtion" in the install docs to the letter. And of course I got the same error. I double-checked both my Apache settings and permissions of the wiki files and everything seems to look alright as far as I can tell. - All of the wiki files are owned by user nobody, group nogroup. This is the same user and group specified in httpd.conf to run apache as. - The ScriptAlias directive in httpd.conf is indeed pointed to the right place. (On my system: /usr/local/share/moin/mywiki/moin.cgi) Out of sheer curiosity, I su'ed to nobody and tried running the script manually from the console... and it worked just fine. It just won't run when Apache does it. Any suggestions, hints, flames? TIA for any or all. --C.

This would be really nice as it would eliminate a lot of typo's, and help users be aware of the concept of categories. Ideally it should auto-generate the list of categories from the CategoryCategory page (or similar) and pages should be able to belong to multiple categories at once.

There's no reason that a wiki-style system *couldn't* be more hierarchial. Wikis don't have to be total anarchy, do they? What I would love to see is a wiki that combines the ease of editing and linking with the hierarchy of a filesystem. This means that files don't float around in the ether, it means that duplicate files don't get created, it means that organization falls out naturally, etc. I can say that in our environment (I work with John), this would be a *huge* improvement. Wiki has been great as an intranet tool but it's not scaling well. There's too much "reverse maintenance" that needs to happen when you create/rename/etc files. Your category idea isn't a bad one, and we'll talk about that here, but it's not quite the way I think and it's not as "seamless" as I think the above system would be (wherein you *have* to choose a hierarchial location for a file when you create it, for instance). -- scott evans :: www.antisleep.com From j.her at t-online.de Mon Jul 29 13:46:05 2002 From: j.her at t-online.de (Juergen Hermann) Date: Mon Jul 29 13:46:05 2002 Subject: [Moin-user] Re: hierarchy / categories In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <17ZHOh-1cATZYC@fwd00.sul.t-online.com> On Mon, 29 Jul 2002 12:19:21 -0700 (PDT), Scott Evans wrote: >There's no reason that a wiki-style system *couldn't* be more hierarchial. >Wikis don't have to be total anarchy, do they? No, but (a single) hierarchy is not the answer. For any non-trivial set of wiki pages, there are several non- or only partly overlapping index structures / ways to navigate to end-points of information. BTW, given hierachical page names, you CAN create a typical folder index from a set of page names.

The non-overlapping part seems solvable; you can have multiple "roots", for instance. As for ways to navigate, I certainly didn't mean to imply that "links" should go away in any Wiki. scott From dincht at securenym.net Tue Jul 30 02:01:03 2002 From: dincht at securenym.net (C.

I think I found the problem on my own, though... it seems that moving my wiki directory seriously confused it. I moved my wiki to an entirely different part of the hard disk and changed my ScriptAlias to reflect the change. What I *should* have done was add a symlink to the new location and not even bother with messing with Apache. And it didn't help that I may have been using the wrong URL while trying to debug the problem. What a wild ride... Just glad it all works now, I use this wiki as a personal organizer and was truly lost without it for awhile there. :) --C. Ulrich.

I was able to get MoinMoin running with a minimal variation of the install instructions and I can post those instructions here if there is interest. I ended up putting moin.cgi and moin_config.py in a /cgi-bin directory, the data is in a c:\moin\data directory and the images and css are in a /wiki directory at the html (htdocs) root of the server. The problem I've run into is that even though I can do GETs and POSTs with MoinMoin, some kind of failure occurs after the POST, so that while data from an edit appears to be accepted, there is a redirect or something that is failing as part of the request. I've attached a copy/paste from the console (sorry about the wrapping) showing the error output on my box when I click the "Save Changes" button during an edit http://localhost/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/FrontPage?action=edit This could be related to some other bugs that have been reported with Python socket handling and Internet Explorer 5.x, but I don't know MoinMoin well enough at this point to know what to look for. What I have now is essentially a read-only MoinMoin, which isn't particularly useful, so I'm looking for a fix. I'm wondering whether anyone has gotten MoinMoin working correctly on a Windows system using just the Python standard libs for the web server? If so, how about on Windows, specifically Windows 2000? I really don't want to have to install IIS or Apache just to use MoinMoin locally, Python should be able to handle this out of the box. A basic web server in Python is very simple as the script referenced below shows. The PythonCard webserver sample comes with a console_server.py script that essentially works the same as the GUI front-end web server. The latest version of the script is in cvs at the URL below. The script is different from the one in release 0.6.8 because I added '.cgi' extension support to the request handler to avoid having to change moin.cgi references in MoinMoin. I'm using Windows 2000 and Python 2.2.1, but the script should work without change on other systems. http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pythoncard/PythonCardPrototyp e/samples/webserver/ Any feedback or ideas would be appreciated.
