[pmwiki-users] Better diff

[Daniel Roesler]

Howdy,

You wouldn't change $ViewDiffChangesFmt, because that is the format
used for the actual ?action=viewdiff page. What you're looking to do
is to make a formatting change to the ?action=diff page, right?

The ViewDiff recipe does make formatting changes to each diff header
?action=diff page (by a custom $DiffStartFmt), but you're looking to
remove the actual diff content, right?

To do that you need to create a custom DiffHTML function that returns
just a blank space. Here's an example of how you can do that in your
local/config.php file:
SDV($DiffHTMLFunction, 'NoDiffHTML');
function NoDiffHTML($pagename, $diff) {return " ";}

You can also include the ViewDiff recipe to add the comparison radio buttons:
include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/viewdiff.php");

Here's the output with ViewDiff and the custom NoDiffHTML function:

You can customize the formatting for $DiffStartFmt, $DiffEndFmt, and
$DiffRestoreFmt so that it looks better (defaults are found in
scripts/pagerev.php and cookbook/viewdiff.php).

Avast!
