See http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Installation at the bottom in the question/answer as well as http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CleanUrls#index_file. If I'm understanding your question correctly it seems to imply that you've got a copy of pmwiki.php placed in index.php. This is not recommended. Instead include pmwiki.php from within a wrapper index.php that you create from scratch. (Make sure there are no spaces before the opening <?php.) To clarify that, your index.php file will contain only a single line or 2 lines with maybe 30-35 characters TOTAL in it. So that resolves the issue of whether to make changes in both index.php and pmwiki.php -- they should not have the same code so this should not be an issue. >Also if it is suppose to edit the pmwiki.php, how are we >suppose to keep the existing data, just copy right back over after it is >updated?? This question seems to imply that changes are needed to pmwiki.php for a given site. Making changes to the actual source code in pmwiki.php should be a *very* rare occurrence. Just about anything imaginable in pmwiki can be configured via setting configuration variables and including other php recipes within local/config.php. If in the very rare occurrence you do need to make a change to pmwiki.php then updates in the future are going to be more complicated. The change would need to be clearly documented so that you can copy in the new version and then make the same change again -- updates will no longer be a question of simply copying in the new files but will be a more complicated process due to having to keep the changes in the file. You should really work hard to figure out how the same job might be done by changes to config.php before considering making changes to pmwiki.php. I hope I've correctly understood your questions and this is of some help... If you post back to the list with a more functional description of the problem you're trying to solve then perhaps someone will be able to point you to existing recipes that can be installed in the more standard approach through changes to config.php rather than changes to pmwiki.php... -Peter Thank you in advance ________________________________ Going green?
