A more generic xotcl-based wikis example with object types and subtypes based on the content repository (with category support)

2007-06-26 <pre> XoWiki is a wiki implementation for OpenACS in XOTcl. Instead of trying to implement the full set of wiki markup commands of systems like MediaWiki, XoWiki is based on a rich text editor and focuses more on integration with OpenACS (e.g categories, general comments, ADP-includes). XoWiki combines aspects of wikis (ease of page-creation) with aspects of a content management system (revisions, re-usable items, multiple languages). Furthermore, XoWiki allows to define different types of links such one could define book-structures (where a navigation structure could be built on the fly) or glossaries with different kind of word relationships (like synonyms, etc.). XoWiki supports pages in multiple languages and is localized (currently only for English and German). Currently, rich-text and plaintext type entries are supported. Included support for ADP-substitution in wiki pages and a file-selector. 0.13 supports page templates and uses the new generic form interface. Use of the OO layer for the content repository, reduced number of database interactions. 0.18 supports text/enhanced, nice page names, import/export. Support for search (::xowiki::Page and ::xowiki::PlainPage); 0.20 support ::xowiki::Object, directory object, RSS generation into syndication table, improved admin pages; 0.21: Ajax-based chat added, new attributes creator and page_title for all xowiki::Pages; 0.22 improved permission checking. 0.24 provides link-types, more includeletes (most-recently viewed, most frequently accessed pages). 0.26 provides Weblog support. 0.27: alignment with xotcl-core 0.28 (use cr_item.name instead of cr_revisions.title), change page_title to title (potential incompatibility) to rely more strictly to the CR data model (most files are effected). 0.29: tag and improved weblog support. 0.30: symbolic OO interface, nicer links, permission management. 0.31: per package search. 0.32: new class ::xowiki::File for [[file:readme.pdf]] and [[image:picture.jpg]] 0.33: direct inclusion of XoWiki pages via {{en:mypage}}, simpler default pages (see xowiki/www/default-pages). 0.34: notifications; 0.36: prototypes, direct includes, context handling; 0.37: initial regression testing (118 tests); 0.38: production_mode, virtual presence, google-sitemap. 0.39: version diff, provide image properties in XoWiki-pages, specify how links can be generated; 0.42: book-style (toc and book portlet, based on YUI treeview), use language prefix to avoid clashes, ltree (for ordering); 0.43: support for views package 0.44: DotLRN portlet support 0.45: auto-naming of pages 0.46: support for announcement style configuration 0.47: podcast support 0.48: policy management moved to xotcl-core, more detailed form field specification for page instances, flash support, syndication status in www/admin/list, file import/export, style information in css files 0.49: adp-generator, make tags/categories/social software buttons per item in a weblog, oacs-view2 and oacs-view3 0.50: timeline support, new includelets activity-graph, collab-graph, timeline, and user-timeline 0.51: minimal zen support, using new oo interface form xotcl-core, more silent on db-operations in error log 0.52: added full set of padding-* and margin-* flags to control image rendering, added allow_edit and allow_delete to includelet "recent", new includelet "get" to obtain variable binding from different pages, new includelets creation-date to get dates nicer formatted, simplified development of derived packages (s5) 0.53: ::xowiki::Form (will be maybe renamed before release), ::xowiki::FormInstances (pot. rename). FormFields, form constraints, unnamed instances, some podcast improvements improved localization, new includelet "unread-items", export renaming for unnamed entries 0.54: FormField classes, more internationalization, recursive inclusion bug fixed </pre> BSD-Style 0
