PmWiki is a wiki-based system for collaborative creation and maintenance of websites.

PmWiki pages look and act like normal web pages, except they have an "Edit" link that makes it easy to modify existing pages and add new pages into the website, using basic editing rules. You do not need to know or use any HTML or CSS. Page editing can be left open to the public or restricted to small groups of authors.

$EnableLinkPageRelative

When enabled, causes PmWiki to use relative urls for page links instead of absolute urls.

        $EnableLinkPageRelative = 1;

$PagePathFmt

This array lists the order in which PmWiki looks for the page that you most likely are attempting to link to. The default is listed below. Look at Cookbook:PagePaths for some ideas.

        array('{$Group}.$1','$1.$1'.'$1.{$DefaultName}')

$LinkPageExistsFmt

The (HTML) string to output for links to already existing wiki pages. Defaults to

        <a class='wikilink' href='\$LinkUrl'>\$LinkText</a>

$LinkPageCreateFmt

The (HTML) string to output for links to non-existent wiki pages. The default is to add a '?' after the link text with a link to the page edit/create form. Defaults to

        <a class='createlinktext' href='\$PageUrl?action=edit'>\$LinkText</a>
        <a class='createlink' href='\$PageUrl?action=edit'>?</a>

$LinkPageCreateSpaceFmt

Same as $LinkPageCreateFmt, but used when the link text has a space in it.

$LinkPageSelfFmt

The (HTML) string to output for self-referencing links (i.e. links to the page itself). Defaults to

        <a class='selflink' href='\$LinkUrl'>\$LinkText</a>

$UrlLinkFmt

The (HTML) string to output for URL-links that begin with 'http:', 'ftp:', etc. Defaults to

        <a class='urllink' href='\$LinkUrl' rel='nofollow'>\$LinkText</a>

$IMapLinkFmt

an array of link formats for various link "schemes". Not set as default.

         $IMapLinkFmt['http:'] = "<a class='httplink urllink' href='\$LinkUrl'>\$LinkText</a>";  

         $IMapLinkFmt['https:'] = "<a class='httpslink urllink' href='\$LinkUrl'>\$LinkText</a>";   

         $IMapLinkFmt['PmWiki:'] = "<a class='pmwikilink urllink' href='\$LinkUrl'>\$LinkText</a>";

$InterMapFiles

An array consisting a list of files and pages containing InterMap entries to be loaded (see CustomInterMap).

$MakePageNameFunction

Name of a custom function to replace MakePageName(), which converts strings into valid page names.

$MakePageNamePatterns

$MakePageNamePatterns is an array of regular expression replacements that is used to map the page link in a free link such as [[free link]] into a page name. Currently the default sequence is:

    "/'/" => '',                           # strip single-quotes
    "/[^$PageNameChars]+/" => ' ',         # convert non-alnums to spaces
    "/((^|[^-\\w])\\w)/e" 
      => "strtoupper('$1')",               # initial caps after spaces
    "/ /" => ''                            # strip spaces

Note that if you change $MakePageNamePatterns, the documentation links may break. This can be fixed by re-setting $MakePageNamePatterns to the default in local/PmWiki.php.

$WikiWordCountMax

The maximum number of times to convert each WikiWord encountered on a page. Defaults to 1,000,000. Common settings for this variable are zero (disable WikiWord links) and one (convert only the first occurrence of each WikiWord).

        $WikiWordCountMax = 0;     # disable WikiWord links
        $WikiWordCountMax = 1;     # convert only first WikiWord

$WikiWordCount

An array that allows the number of WikiWord conversions to be set on a per-WikiWord basis. The default is to use $WikiWordCountMax unless a value is set in this array. By default PmWiki sets $WikiWordCount['PmWiki']=1 to limit the number of conversions of "PmWiki".

        $WikiWordCount['PhD']=0;     # Don't convert "PhD"
        $WikiWordCount['WikiWord']=5;  # Convert WikiWord 5 times
        # the following lines keep a page from linking to itself
        $title = FmtPageName('$Title_',$pagename);
        $WikiWordCount[$title]=0;   

$EnableRedirectQuiet

Enable the quiet=1 parameter for the redirect directive. On publicly edited wikis it is advisable not to enable quiet redirects.

        $EnableRedirectQuiet = 0;     # disable quiet redirects (default)
        $EnableRedirectQuiet = 1;     # enable quiet redirects
