This page is intended to describe features of Pm Wiki 1.0 that have been changed or eliminated in Pm Wiki 2.0. For now this page will be maintained as a simple list and will probably need some restructuring later.

Markup changes

  • Double brackets are used for all links, including [[free links]]. Providing alternate text for a link is performed using either a vertical brace [[PageName | link text]] or an arrow [[link text -> PageName]]. See PmWiki.Links.
  • So far, the ThisPage:, ThisGroup:, etc., Inter Map shortcuts are not defined. In fact, they may not be needed in Pm Wiki 2. If someone needs them, add an entry to PITS:NewIssue explaining why.

    Ok, so as an example, how next lines, which are in a sidebar, may be written in pmwiki2 ?
    *[[ThisPage:?action=upload Upload]]
    *[[ThisGroup:SideBar&action=edit Edit menu]]
You can write them as [[{$Name}?action=upload | Upload]] and [[{$Group}/SideBar?action=edit | Edit menu]].
(The variables {$Name} and {$Group} are page variables.)

Changes affecting skins

  • $PageTemplateFmt is obsolete, but $PageTemplateFmt still works, and this may change yet again before the 2.0 official release. To use a different skin, you can use the $Skin variable ($Skin = 'skinname';) and just fill it with the name of the skin, it will assume it's in the pub/skins/[skinname] folder containing the [skinname].tmpl file.
  • $HTMLTitleFmt no longer exists -- just place the <title> information directly into the template.
  • In $...Fmt strings, $Title_ and $Title are currently represented by $Name. $Title is now used to refer to a page's title (which may be different from its name and could have different formatting, such as spaces).
  • The css/stdlayout.css file no longer exists; Pm Wiki and other modules now place required formatting styles directly into the $HTMLStylesFmt array.
  • $PageName is now $FullName. $PageName still functions but will be removed in the 2.0 official release.
  • Searching now uses the q= variable to provide the text to be searched (formerly the search text went in the text= variable.

Other Customization Changes

  • Pm Wiki 2 now uses session-based authentication by default. If you want to continue to use HTTP-Basic authentication, add the following line to config.php:
        include_once('scripts/httpauth.php');
