[pmwiki-users] How to do the equivalent of hitting "save" on every page on the wiki?

[Alex Eftimiades]

This seems to work:
if($action=='update'){
   set_time_limit(1800);
   $pages=ListPages();
   foreach($pages as $pn){
     $thispage=ReadPage($pn);
     $oldpage=$thispage;
     foreach($EditAttrFields as $fn=>$fa){
       if ( is_callable(@$fa['filter']) ) $fa['filter']( $pn, $fn,  
$thispage );
     }
     if($thispage!=$oldpage) WritePage($pn,$thispage);
   }
}

This could however be an easy way to develop a DOS attack, so it  
should be limited to certain trusted usernames and/or passwords.

Thanks,
Alex
