[Pmwiki-users] Print view broken (pmwiki 1.0.7)

[John Rankin]

I think I see what's happening. See below for suggested fixes.

The publish script included with wikilog bypasses PmWiki's 
print template.

It sets $PageTemplateFmt and $UrlLinkTextFmt to the values 
it needs to do its job. This creates 2 problems:

- if $EnablePrint = 1; pmwiki's print script comes along and
  over-writes the link format needed to handle endnotes correctly
  (Problem A below)

- if the administrator sets $PageTemplateFmt *after* loading
  the publish script (loaded from wikilog-config.php), this
  overwrites the template needed for the printable and publish 
  views (Problem B below)

This is Problem A.

The fix is to set $EnablePrint = 0; and...

This is Problem B.

The fix is to move the following line *above* the line that includes
wikilog-config.php

$PageTemplateFmt = 'pub/skins/rd2p/rd2p.tmpl';

In order to show links as endnotes, the publish script has to 
redefine the url link format. It then has to stop pmwiki from
changing it. As a consequence, pmwiki then doen't set the page 
template format to the value in $PrintTemplateFmt, so the publish
script has to do that too.

So it's all because we wanted to list link references as endnotes
at the end of the printed document.

If you make those 2 changes to your config.php, it should solve 
the problem. Let me know how you get on.
