A list of features I want to implement in
Pylowiki <pylowiki>_
.. contents::
Create on a deleted page should set the deleted flag to false and create a new revision based on the create textarea on submit.
give the ability to sort by:
We need to be able to embed flash videos much like the images declaration.
Update: We have added the youtube directive for video embedding.
.. youtube:: xK_UX9ZuO1w
Code each edit form to use ajax to send data to the webserver. The user interactions will be more smooth without page reloads.
UPDATE: We have implemented a very quick and dirty file upload attachment feature. I would like to revisit this feature to make it more robust…
The barf pyramid project has a very nice flat file and database system!
Attachments themselves should not be stored in the database, only the meta data and a pointer to a flat file system.
Applecore vaults uses oracle for meta data on models and drawings.
64 dirs with 64 dirs in each, maybe 20 or so files in each dir would grant space for 81,920 files in the wiki.
The data would be tar’d up during regular db backups. The DB would house all the meta data about the files.
vault meta table:
int id str location (/12/23/03) 12th dir, 23 dir, 03 file str file_type (pdf, csv, jpg, png, mp3) str save_name (wedding.jpg) str description int related page
Create a few canned themes so show off the design possibilities of Pylowiki.
I plan to place pylowiki into the fluid 960 css framework to motivate others as well as myself into creating custom themes/skins
Status: I created an entry point for custom CSS sheets in the base.mako custom-style.css … Pylowiki was placed into the fluid 960 css framework! AN ENTRY POINT FOR THEMES HAS BEEN BUILT AND NOW WE HAVE 2 THEMES!
Create a few articles to explain how to:
Pylowiki
Forgot password email logic…
COMPLETED
See!? We now have page comments! It was pretty simple to create the logic. Most of the work was already in place for the core wiki application!
Showing off this new comment section
Very nice looking site. I wish I could comment inline, ala hgbook.
Regarding tags: full-text search will be much more useful. I’m not sure how you might pull that off though, other than providing hooks for lucene.
Hierarchy, on the other hand, is completely necessary, both for organizing large knowledge bases, and for very large teams that require privacy in certain cases. This is assuming that you’re willing to allow Access Control Lists in Pylowiki. Mediawiki objects to this in prinicple.
Full text search is supported for mysql only. give it a try (search kvm, libvirt,sample or todo)
At this point we only have authed users and guests. No other acls yet.
I’m excited to finally get some support with ideas! Please branch Pylowiki on bitbucket and I’ll merge any cool patches you might build.
