and
password in the PhpWiki config file.

----------

!! Cleanup

A Wiki SandBox is very easy to clean. Here you can restore it to
pristine condition by loading the default from pgsrc:

[ Rake the SandBox | phpwiki:?action=loadfile&source=pgsrc/SandBox
].

[/Remove] multiple pages.

----------

!! Making Snapshots or Backups

! ZIP files of database

These links lead to zip files, generated on the fly, which contain
all
the pages in your Wiki.  The zip file will be downloaded to your
local
computer.

This __[ZIP Snapshot | phpwiki:?action=zip]__ contains only the
latest
versions of each page, while this
__[ZIP Dump | phpwiki:?action=zip&include=all]__ contains all
archived
versions.

(If the PhpWiki is configured to allow it,) anyone can download a
zip
file.

If your php has ''zlib'' support, the files in the archive will be
compressed, otherwise they will just be stored.

! Dump to directory

Here you can dump pages of your Wiki into a directory of your
choice.

<?plugin WikiForm action=dumpserial?>

The most recent version of each page will written out to the
directory, one page per file.  Your server must have write
permissions
to the directory!

-----------
!! Restoring

If you have dumped a set of pages from PhpWiki, you can reload them
here.  Note that pages in your database will be overwritten; thus,
if
you dumped your HomePage when you load it from this form it will
overwrite the one in your database now. If you want to be selective
just delete the pages from the directory (or zip file) which you
don't
want to load.

! Upload File

Here you can upload ZIP archives, or individual files from your
(client) machine.

<?plugin WikiForm action=upload?>

! Load File

Here you can load ZIP archives, individual files or entire
directories.  The file or directory must be local to the http
server.
You can also use this form to load from an http: or ftp: URL.

<?plugin WikiForm action=loadfile?>

-----------

!! Format of the files

Currently the pages are stored, one per file, as MIME (RFC:2045)
e-mail (RFC:822) messages.  The content-type
''application/x-phpwiki''
is used, and page meta-data is encoded in the content-type
parameters.
(If the file contains several versions of a page, it will have type
''multipart/mixed'', and contain several sub-parts, each with type
''application/x-phpwiki''.)  The message body contains the page
text.

! Old Formats

__Serialized Files__

The dump to directory command used to dump the pages as PHP
''serialized()'' strings.  For humans, this made the files very hard
to read, and nearly impossible to edit.

__Plain Files__

Before that the page text was just dumped to a file--this means that
all page meta-data was lost. Note that when loading ''plain files'',
the page name is deduced from the file name.

The upload and load functions will automatically recognize each of
these three types of files, and handle them accordingly.

----

!! Dump pages as XHTML
<?plugin WikiForm action=dumphtml?>

This will generate a directory of static pages suitable for
distribution on disk where no web server is available. The various
links for page editing functions and navigation are removed from the
pages.

The XHTML file collection can also be downloaded as an
__[XHTML ZIP Snapshot | phpwiki:?action=ziphtml]__.

----

!! PhpWiki Internals

These are here mostly for debugging purposes (at least, that's the
hope.)

In normal use, you shouldn't need to use these, though, then again,
they shouldn't really do any harm.

Purge Markup Cache |
  (If your wiki is so configured,) the transformed (almost-HTML)
content
  of the most recent version of each page is cached.  This speeds up
page
  rendering since parsing of the wiki-text takes a fair amount of
juice.

  Hitting this button will delete all cached transformed content.
  (Each pages content will be transformed and re-cached next time
someone
  views it.)

  <?plugin WikiAdminUtils action=purge-cache label="Purge Cache" ?>

Clean WikiDB of Illegal Filenames |
  Page names beginning with the subpage-separator --- usually a slash
(=/=) ---
  are not allowed.  Sometimes though an errant plugin or something
might
  create one...  This button will delete any pages with illegal page
names.

  <?plugin WikiAdminUtils action=purge-bad-pagenames label="Exorcise
WikiDB" ?>
