Hey! Just a minute!

Is this the new Wiki structure which permits pages to be organized into 
directory groups (that I was asking for last year)?

Sorry to disappoint you, Chris. The behaviour of the PhotoCollectionPlugin is restricted to the directory structure that houses the pictures. The associated wiki pages are still held in the "normal" single directory. It is the external photo collection that can be hierarchical and the plugin will map between these two organisational regimes.

Is it in a standard release yet?

Is it documented anywhere other than in the eMail thread?

Did I miss some big announcement or is _this_ it?

However, I am puzzled that you have not looked at the standard "beautify pages" feature that I encountered during my research into my own plugin. My algorithms are derived from the base code, although the behaviour is customised to deal with external file and directory names when used to automatically derive unique wiki page names.

I tried to quickly find out something about the beautify feature, but was surprised at how little had been written:

http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/SystemInfo -> Do we beautify titles? true.

http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/JSPWikiSupport#section-JSPWikiSupport-PageNamesWithBlanks

There are two issues related to this feature, I think...
1) some people want to create wiki page names with embedded blanks, so the filenames and associated url's have to embed the String %20 (or is it +) instead to make them legal. 2) Some people want their existing wiki CamelCase page titles //rendered// as their page names, but with white space between each word.

My code is based on the class com.ecyrd.jspwiki.TextUtil, so you might like to review the original code. The only use that seems important is within WikiEngine.beautifyTitle(), which claims to add whitespace to wiki page titles.

I was under the impression that there was a global beautifyPages property in jspwiki.properties, but I haven't found it in the default file. I wonder whether the feature needs to be triggered by the template parameters... perhaps someone who knows more can help?

Regards,

Brian
