=head1 NAME
Wiki::Toolkit - A toolkit for building Wikis.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Helps you develop Wikis quickly by taking care of the boring bits for
you. You will still need to write some code - this isn't an instant Wiki.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# Set up a wiki object with an SQLite storage backend, and an
# inverted index/DB_File search backend. This store/search
# combination can be used on systems with no access to an actual
# database server.
my $store = Wiki::Toolkit::Store::SQLite->new(
dbname => "/home/wiki/store.db" );
my $indexdb = Search::InvertedIndex::DB::DB_File_SplitHash->new(
-map_name => "/home/wiki/indexes.db",
-lock_mode => "EX" );
my $search = Wiki::Toolkit::Search::SII->new(
indexdb => $indexdb );
my $wiki = Wiki::Toolkit->new( store => $store,
search => $search );
# Do all the CGI stuff.
my $q = CGI->new;
my $action = $q->param("action");
my $node = $q->param("node");
if ($action eq 'display') {
my $raw = $wiki->retrieve_node($node);
my $cooked = $wiki->format($raw);
print_page(node => $node,
content => $cooked);
} elsif ($action eq 'preview') {
my $submitted_content = $q->param("content");
my $preview_html = $wiki->format($submitted_content);
print_editform(node => $node,
content => $submitted_content,
preview => $preview_html);
} elsif ($action eq 'commit') {
my $submitted_content = $q->param("content");
my $cksum = $q->param("checksum");
my $written = $wiki->write_node($node, $submitted_content, $cksum);
if ($written) {
print_success($node);
} else {
handle_conflict($node, $submitted_content);
}

# Set up store, search and formatter objects.
my $store = Wiki::Toolkit::Store::SQLite->new(
dbname => "/home/wiki/store.db" );
my $indexdb = Search::InvertedIndex::DB::DB_File_SplitHash->new(
-map_name => "/home/wiki/indexes.db",
-lock_mode => "EX" );
my $search = Wiki::Toolkit::Search::SII->new(
indexdb => $indexdb );
my $formatter = My::HomeMade::Formatter->new;
my $wiki = Wiki::Toolkit->new(
store => $store, # mandatory
search => $search, # defaults to undef
formatter => $formatter # defaults to something suitable
);
C<store> must be an object of type C<Wiki::Toolkit::Store::*> and
C<search> if supplied must be of type C<Wiki::Toolkit::Search::*> (though
this isn't checked yet - FIXME). If C<formatter> isn't supplied, it
defaults to an object of class L<Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Default>.
You can get a searchable Wiki up and running on a system without an
actual database server by using the SQLite storage backend with the
SII/DB_File search backend - cut and paste the lines above for a quick
start, and see L<Wiki::Toolkit::Store::SQLite>, L<Wiki::Toolkit::Search::SII>,
and L<Search::InvertedIndex::DB::DB_File_SplitHash> when you want to
learn the details.
C<formatter> can be any object that behaves in the right way; this
essentially means that it needs to provide a C<format> method which
takes in raw text and returns the formatted version. See
L<Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Default> for a simple example. Note that you can
create a suitable object from a sub very quickly by using
L<Test::MockObject> like so:
my $formatter = Test::MockObject->new();
$formatter->mock( 'format', sub { my ($self, $raw) = @_;
return uc( $raw );
} );
I'm not sure whether to put this in the module or not - it'd let you
just supply a sub instead of an object as the formatter, but it feels
wrong to be using a Test::* module in actual code.

the specified node. In list context, returns a hash containing the
contents of the node plus additional data:

The C<node> parameter is mandatory. The C<version> parameter is
optional and defaults to the newest version. If the node hasn't been
created yet, it is considered to exist but be empty (this behaviour
might change).
B<Note> on metadata - each hash value is returned as an array ref,
even if that type of metadata only has one value.

Renames a node, updating any references to it as required.
Uses the internal_links table to identify the nodes that link to this
one, and re-writes any wiki links in these to point to the new name. If
required, it can mark these updates to other pages as a new version.

my $ok = $wiki->verify_checksum($node, $checksum);
Sees whether your checksum is current for the given node. Returns true
if so, false if not.
B<NOTE:> Be aware that when called directly and without locking, this
might not be accurate, since there is a small window between the
checking and the returning where the node might be changed, so
B<don't> rely on it for safe commits; use C<write_node> for that. It
can however be useful when previewing edits, for example.

Returns a list containing the name of every existing node. The list
won't be in any kind of order; do any sorting in your calling script.

metadata_type => "category",
metadata_value => "Hammersmith",
);
my @results = my_l33t_method_for_ANDing_arrays( \@pubs, \@hsm );
Returns a list containing the name of every node whose caller-supplied
metadata matches the criteria given in the parameters.
By default, the case-sensitivity of both C<metadata_type> and
C<metadata_value> depends on your database - if it will return rows
with an attribute value of "Pubs" when you asked for "pubs", or not.
If you supply a true value to the C<ignore_case> parameter, then you
can be sure of its being case-insensitive. This is recommended.
If you don't supply any criteria then you'll get an empty list.
This is a really really really simple way of finding things; if you
want to be more complicated then you'll need to call the method
multiple times and combine the results yourself, or write a plugin.
=cut
sub list_nodes_by_metadata {

Returns nodes where either the metadata doesn't exist, or is blank
Unlike list_nodes_by_metadata(), the metadata value is optional (the
metadata type is required).
# All nodes missing documentation
my @nodes = $store->list_nodes_by_missing_metadata(
metadata_type => "category",
metadata_value => "documentation",
ignore_case => 1, # optional but recommended (see below)

=item B<list_recent_changes>
This is documented in L<Wiki::Toolkit::Store::Database>; see there for
parameters and return values. All parameters are passed through
directly to the store object, so, for example,
my @nodes = $wiki->list_recent_changes( days => 7 );
does exactly the same thing as
my @nodes = $wiki->store->list_recent_changes( days => 7 );

$nodes[0]->{'node_id'} # The id of the node
$nodes[0]->{'version'} # The version in need of moderation
$nodes[0]->{'moderated_version'} # The newest moderated version
Fetches details of all the node versions that require moderation (id,
name, version, and latest moderated version).
If only_where_latest is set, then only the latest version of nodes where
the latest version needs moderating are returned.
Otherwise, all node versions (including old ones, and possibly multiple
per node) are returned.

and metadata, as an array of hashes (newest versions first).

List the last version of every node before a given date.
If no version existed before that date, will return undef for version.
Returns a hash of id, name, version and date

Returns true if the node has ever been created (even if it is
currently empty), and false otherwise.
By default, the case-sensitivity of C<node_exists> depends on your
store backend. If you supply a true value to the C<ignore_case>
parameter, then you can be sure of its being case-insensitive. This
is recommended.

# Otherwise return the state of the flag

=item B<delete_node>
$wiki->delete_node( name => "Home Page", version => 15 );
C<version> is optional. If it is supplied then only that version of
the node will be deleted. Otherwise the node and all its history will
be completely deleted.
Doesn't do any locking though - to fix? You probably don't want to let
anyone except Wiki admins call this. You may not want to use it at
all.
Croaks on error, silently does nothing if the node or version doesn't
exist, returns true if no error.

Returns a (possibly empty) hash whose keys are the node names and
whose values are the scores in some kind of relevance-scoring system I
haven't entirely come up with yet. For OR searches, this could
initially be the number of terms that appear in the node, perhaps.
Defaults to AND searches (if $and_or is not supplied, or is anything
other than C<OR> or C<or>).
Searches are case-insensitive.
Croaks if you haven't defined a search backend.

$wiki->write_node( "King's Cross St Pancras", "A station." );
my %matches = $wiki->fuzzy_title_match( "Kings Cross St. Pancras" );
Returns a (possibly empty) hash whose keys are the node names and
whose values are the scores in some kind of relevance-scoring system I
haven't entirely come up with yet.
Note that even if an exact match is found, any other similar enough
matches will also be returned. However, any exact match is guaranteed
to have the highest relevance score.
The matching is done against "canonicalised" forms of the search
string and the node titles in the database: stripping vowels, repeated
letters and non-word characters, and lowercasing.
Croaks if you haven't defined a search backend.

=item B<register_plugin>

Registers the plugin with the wiki as one that needs to be informed
when we write a node.
If the plugin C<isa> L<Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin>, calls the methods set up by
that parent class to let it know about the backend store, search and
formatter objects.
Finally, calls the plugin class's C<on_register> method, which should
be used to check tables are set up etc. Note that because of the order
these things are done in, C<on_register> for L<Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin>
subclasses can use the C<datastore>, C<indexer> and C<formatter>
methods as it needs to.

my $written = $wiki->write_node($node, $content, $checksum, \%metadata, $requires_moderation);
if ($written) {
display_node($node);
} else {
handle_conflict();
}
Writes the specified content into the specified node in the backend
storage; and indexes/reindexes the node in the search indexes (if a
search is set up); calls C<post_write> on any registered plugins.
Note that you can blank out a node without deleting it by passing the
empty string as $content, if you want to.
If you expect the node to already exist, you must supply a checksum,
and the node is write-locked until either your checksum has been
proved old, or your checksum has been accepted and your change
committed. If no checksum is supplied, and the node is found to
already exist and be nonempty, a conflict will be raised.
The first two parameters are mandatory, the others optional. If you
want to supply metadata but have no checksum (for a newly-created
node), supply a checksum of C<undef>.
The final parameter, $requires_moderation (which defaults to false),
is ignored except on new nodes. For existing nodes, use
$wiki->toggle_node_moderation to change the node moderation flag.
Returns the version of the updated node on success, 0 on conflict, croaks on
error.
B<Note> on the metadata hashref: Any data in here that you wish to
access directly later must be a key-value pair in which the value is
either a scalar or a reference to an array of scalars. For example:
$wiki->write_node( "Calthorpe Arms", "nice pub", $checksum,
{ category => [ "Pubs", "Bloomsbury" ],
postcode => "WC1X 8JR" } );
# and later
my @nodes = $wiki->list_nodes_by_metadata(
metadata_type => "category",
metadata_value => "Pubs" );
For more advanced usage (passing data through to registered plugins)
you may if you wish pass key-value pairs in which the value is a
hashref or an array of hashrefs. The data in the hashrefs will not be
stored as metadata; it will be checksummed and the checksum will be
stored instead. Such data can I<only> be accessed via plugins.

=head1 SEE ALSO
For a very quick Wiki startup without any of that icky programming
stuff, see Tom Insam's L<Wiki::Toolkit::Kwiki>, an instant wiki based on
Wiki::Toolkit.
Or for the specialised application of a wiki about a city, see the
L<OpenGuides> distribution.
L<Wiki::Toolkit> allows you to use different formatting modules.
L<Text::WikiFormat> might be useful for anyone wanting to write a
custom formatter. Existing formatters include:
=over 4
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Default> (in this distro)
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::Pod>
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Formatter::UseMod>
=back
There's currently a choice of three storage backends - all
database-backed.
=over 4
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Store::MySQL> (in this distro)
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Store::Pg> (in this distro)
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Store::SQLite> (in this distro)
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Store::Database> (parent class for the above - in this distro)
=back
A search backend is optional:
=over 4
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Search::DBIxFTS> (in this distro, uses L<DBIx::FullTextSearch>)
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Search::SII> (in this distro, uses L<Search::InvertedIndex>)
=back
Standalone plugins can also be written - currently they should only
read from the backend storage, but write access guidelines are coming
soon. Plugins written so far and available from CPAN:
=over 4
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::GeoCache>
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Categoriser>
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::Locator::UK>
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::Plugin::RSS::ModWiki>
=back
If writing a plugin you might want an easy way to run tests for it on
all possible backends:
=over 4
=item * L<Wiki::Toolkit::TestConfig::Utilities> (in this distro)
=back
Other ways to implement Wikis in Perl include:
=over 4
=item * L<CGI::Kwiki> (an instant wiki)
=item * L<CGI::pWiki>
=item * L<AxKit::XSP::Wiki>
=item * L<Apache::MiniWiki>
=item * UseModWiki L<http://usemod.com>
=item * Chiq Chaq L<http://chiqchaq.sourceforge.net/>

=head1 BUGS
Versions between 0.75 and 0.79 inclusive contain a bug which prevents
Recent Changes routines from working correctly if minor changes are excluded
<http://www.wiki-toolkit.org/ticket/41>. You may wish to avoid upgrading to
this version until it is fixed if this is important to you; the fix is
however not trivial so noone has been able to step up yet.
Other minor bugs are documented at <http://www.wiki-toolkit.org/report>
=head1 CREDITS
Various London.pm types helped out with code review, encouragement,
JFDI, style advice, code snippets, module recommendations, and so on;
far too many to name individually, but particularly Richard Clamp,
Tony Fisher, Mark Fowler, and Chris Ball.
blair christensen sent patches and gave me some good ideas. chromatic
continues to patiently apply my patches to L<Text::WikiFormat> and
help me get it working in just the way I need. Paul Makepeace helped
me add support for connecting to non-local databases. Shevek has been
prodding me a lot lately. The L<OpenGuides> team keep me well-supplied
with encouragement and bug reports.
Nick Burch has been leading the way with development leading up to the
release under the Wiki::Toolkit name.
=head1 GRATUITOUS PLUG
I'm only obsessed with Wikis because of the Open Guide to London --
