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.
Key PmWiki Features
Custom look-and-feel: A site administrator can quickly change the appearance and functions of a PmWiki site by using different
skins and HTML templates. If you can't find an appropriate skin
already made, you can easily modify one or create your own.
Access control: PmWiki password protection can be applied to an entire site, to groups of pages, or to individual pages. Password protection controls who can read pages, edit pages, and upload attachments. PmWiki's access control system is completely self-contained, but it can also work in conjunction with existing password databases, such as
.htaccess, LDAP servers, and MySQL databases.
Customization and plugin architecture: One principle of the
PmWikiPhilosophy is to only include essential features in the core engine, but make it easy for administrators to customize and add new markup. Hundreds of features are already available by using extensions (called "recipes") that are available from the PmWiki
Cookbook.
PmWiki is written in PHP and distributed under the General Public License. It is designed to be simple to install, customize, and maintain for a variety of applications. This site is running pmwiki-2.2.11.

$EnablePageListProtect- When set to 1 (which is the default), causes
(:pagelist:) and (:searchresults:) to exclude listing any pages for which the browser does not currently have read authorization. Setting this to zero means that read-protected pages can appear in a listing, but can also speed up searches considerably (because page permissions do not need to be checked).
$SearchPatterns- An array of page name patterns to be required or excluded from search and pagelist results. In order to be included in a search listing or page listing, a page's name must not match any pattern that is delimited by exclamation points (!) and must match all other patterns. See Cookbook:SearchPatterns.
# Limit all searches to Main group
$SearchPatterns['default'][] = '/^Main\\./';
# Exclude the Main group from search results
$SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!^Main\\.!';
# Exclude RecentChanges pages from search results
$SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!\\.(All)?RecentChanges$!';
# Prevent a page from listing itself in (:pagelist:) or (:searchresults:)
$SearchPatterns['default'][] = FmtPageName('!^$FullName$!', $pagename);
$SearchBoxOpt-
For example $SearchBoxOpt ['target'] = '$DefaultGroup.Search';
$EnablePageIndex- When set to 1, causes PmWiki to maintain a "link and word index" in
$PageIndexFile which significantly speeds up categories, backlinks, and searches.
$PageIndexFile- The location of the "page index" file for
(:pagelist:), defaults to $WorkDir/.pageindex $PageListCacheDir- The name of a writable directory where PmWiki can cache results of
(:pagelist:) directives to speed up subsequent displays of the same list. Default is empty, which disables the pagelist cache.
# Enable pagelist caching in work.d/
$PageListCacheDir = 'work.d/';
$PageSearchForm- The page to be used to format search results for
?action=search (unless the current page has a "searchresults" directive in it). This variable can be an array, in which case the first page found from the array is used.
# Use Search page in current group if it exists, otherwise use Site.Search
$PageSearchForm = array('$Group.Search', '[=$[$SiteGroup/Search]=]');
$FPLTemplatePageFmt- The pages to be searched for a pagelist template specified by a
fmt=#xyz parameter. Defaults to searching the current page, Site.LocalTemplates? and Site.PageListTemplates.
# PMWiki default setup
global $FPLTemplatePageFmt;
$FPLTemplatePageFmt = array(
'{$FullName}',
'{$SiteGroup}.LocalTemplates',
'{$SiteGroup}.PageListTemplates');
It can be customized to look in other pages.
# Search a Group.Templates page as well as the Site templates
global $FPLTemplatePageFmt;
$FPLTemplatePageFmt = array(
'{$Group}.Templates',
'{$SiteGroup}.LocalTemplates',
'{$SiteGroup}.PageListTemplates');
Or declare defaults for the template array:
# Search a Group.Templates page as well as the Site templates
global $FPLTemplatePageFmt;
SDV($FPLTemplatePageFmt, array('{$FullName}',
'{$Group}.Templates',
'{$SiteGroup}.LocalTemplates', '{$SiteGroup}.PageListTemplates')
);
