[Pmwiki-users] InterMap definitions

[John Rankin]

Great idea. I would have used this in the WikiCalendar and Show/Hide =
revisions plug-ins. [[ThisPage:?hide=3D1 Hide revisions]] and [[Thispage:?=
hide=3D0 Show revisions]] would achieve my goal much more simply.

Pluggable feature, and I wish it was easier to specify which features to =
include, rather than explicitly including file names.

I'm thinking about adding three InterMap definitions to PmWiki and would
like feedback (along the lines of "great idea", "good idea", "bad idea",=20
"really bad idea", or "what are you talking about?").

I'm thinking of defining three "special" InterMap links:

   ThisPage - the URL of this page
   ThisWiki - the URL for this wiki
   ThisGroup - the URL for this group

With these InterMap entries in place, one could do markup like:

   [[ThisPage:?action=3Dedit Edit this page]]
   [[ThisPage:?action=3Dattr Change this page's passwords]]
   [[ThisWiki:?action=3Dsearch&text=3DPmWiki Search this site for "PmWiki"]=
]
   [[ThisWiki:?action=3Dcrypt Build an encrypted password]]
   [[ThisGroup:GroupAttributes?action=3Dattr Change this group's passwords]=
]
   [[ThisGroup:GroupHeader?action=3Dedit Change this group's header]]
   [[ThisPage:?action=3Ddiff See this page's history]]

Good idea?

Also, should this be a pluggable feature in the scripts directory (=
activated
via an include() line in local.php) or should it be built-in to PmWiki
directly?  Right now I'm leaning towards "pluggable feature"--I think
modularity is good-- but even if it was built into PmWiki it'd be possible
for a person to disable ThisWiki/ThisGroup/ThisPage via entries=20
in localmap.txt.

All comments greatly appreciated.
