I have found that, for my sites, they cause more trouble than they are worth. So I have disabled them systemwide, but enabled them for the groups that need them. <br><blockquote type="cite"><div>* PageStore changes such as <br><a href="http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PerGroupSubDirectories">http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/PerGroupSubDirectories</a> can be <br>awkward to introduce once many pages exist.

Just used a shell script. But I would say for a small site, it makes no difference, and for a large one, you probably want to use per group subdirectories. It of course depends on the </div><div>geometry of your system. If I were creating a new site, and I expected it to be reasonably large, I would use per group subdirectories.</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><br></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><font class="Apple-style-span" color="#000000"><br></font>I try to keep my approach disciplined, even if my mind isn't ;)<br></div></blockquote>This is the best comment I have seen in a while.</div><div> Vince</div><div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><br>Regards,<br>Trevor<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>pmwiki-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com">pmwiki-users@pmichaud.com</a><br>http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users<br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
