TagPages

Questions answered by this recipe

This section is optional; use it to indicate the types of questions (if any) this recipe is intended to answer.

Description

Simple opaque web form for adding categories to a page. Varying levels of security available, but use should be limited to privileged users only.

Notes

Download tagpages.phpΔ and place in pmwiki/cookbook/ folder of your website.

Add to config.php:

Optionally add before include line:

Default is that edit permission is required to add tags to a page. It's easier than editing the page and adding several [[!Category]] markups to each page. However, if you have read-protected pages you want authorized readers to tag, you may use this line to allow people with read permissions the ability to tag pages. Alternatively you may change it to 'admin' for admin-only tagging abilities, etc.

In-wiki usage example: add to Group/GroupFooter in wiki (change the "if auth" to match the privilege level so only people who can use the form will see it):

(:messages:)
(:if auth edit:)(:input form action={*$PageUrl}:) (:input hidden action xestagpages:)
Tags:	(:input text "Tags" size="40":)	(:input submit value="Go":)
(:input end:) (:ifend:)

div.category { 
  border: 1px solid #666;
  padding: 0.5em;
  background-color:  #EEE;
}

Release Notes

If the recipe has multiple releases, then release notes can be placed here. Note that it's often easier for people to work with "release dates" instead of "version numbers".

Future possibilities:

• captcha
• form protections & parsing to allow use by non-privileged users
• could have made category divider configurable, meant to before packing this up....
