About This Wiki

This wiki was originally installed to compare different wiki implementations. I found that dokuwiki is my favorite, and I'll probably not uninstall this.

To be able to add or edit pages, you have to register. To register, please send an email to wiki-registration@dlma.com with your preferred username, and I'd be happy to add you. (I used to have self-registration enabled, but began having a problem with spammers.)

Customizations

Pre-Angua

Here are which changed I made, and which plugins I used to create this wiki:

    <meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="true" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, height=device-height, user-scalable=no" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" media="only screen and (max-device-width: 599px)"
          type="text/css" href="<?php echo DOKU_TPL?>arctic_mobile.css" />

design.css had the ordered lists style changed:

ol {list-style-type: decimal}
ol ol {list-style-type: upper-alpha}
ol ol ol {list-style-type: lower-alpha}
ol ol ol ol {list-style-type: lower-roman}

Note: Older versions of IE don't support the -greek styles.

In order for robots to be able to find sitemap.xml.gz at the top level, I added the following rule to .htaccess:

RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml.gz$          doku.php?do=sitemap  [L]

Angua

I had to do the following for the Media Manager:

Hogfather

Did a full install because DreamHost is deprecating old PHP installations, and I am updated 9yo software. Chose the default theme and its built-in sidebar template. (Update: It turns out the old installation would've kept working with newer PHP if I'd turned off Extra Web Security at DreamHost. See DreamHost "Extra Web Security" Incompatibility.)

Jack Jackrum

Followed the install:upgrade instructions on the side, then copied all the “DXB” changes (with vimdiff) from the Hogfather instance over. Added the plugin:htmlok plugin for Trippy: An Introduction and Overview.

$ grep -nrI DXB .
./lib/plugins/xbr/renderer.php:32:        // DXB DCB: The following code from danny0838's suggested “trim()” edit
./lib/tpl/dokuwiki/tpl_header.php:28:// DXB                '<img src="'.$logo.'" '.$logoSize[3].' alt="" /> <span>'.$conf['title'].'</span>',
./lib/tpl/dokuwiki/css/content.less:287:    /* DXB width: @ini_sidebar_width; */
./lib/tpl/dokuwiki/css/pagetools.less:14:    padding-left: 10px; /* DXB was 40px */
./lib/tpl/dokuwiki/css/structure.less:56:       /* DXB was 0 1.5em 0 0 */
