NAME
Kwiki::CoolURI - makes the Kwiki url cleaner
SYNOPSIS
$ cd /path/to/kwiki
$ kwiki -add Kwiki::CoolURI
DESCRIPTION
Changes the internal links that Kwiki create. Instead of
/index.cgi?SandBox, it will just be /SandBox.
It only changes the url for the display plugin. Edit will still look
like /index.cgi?action=edit&page_name=SandBox.
Configuration
Kwiki needs to be able to read request on the form /SandBox. With
Apache this can be solved by putting the following mod_rewrite config
in a .htaccess file in the directory where index.cgi is located.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !(css/|icons/|index.cgi|local/|palm90.png|plugin/|theme/)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.cgi?action=display&page_name=$1 [L]
If you add new top directories, or files, that you still want to be
readable, you have to add them in the RewriteCond.
BUGS
Does not currently fix the redirect that for instance happens after an
edit.
Should use new Kwiki 0.37 hooks.
The mod_rewrite config could probably be better.
The code is just copied from the original methods and slightly changed
to output different urls. If Kwiki had a way to configure what the link
urls should look like, this plugin wouldn't be needed.
