Hi John,

I can't help with the file name thing, but a word of warning:

Never, ever, change pmwiki.php or any of the core files.

There are many ways to change the way the program works. Pm put in all sorts of hooks, so it's rare that you'd have to edit the core files. It's a bit more work at first, to put all your customization in the designated folders (usually config.php or a recipe or a group-specific config file), but it's worth it. Updates are a breeze, since none of your custom code is in the files that get updated. Just read the update notes for the occassional twist, copy the new core files over the old, maybe edit config.php to activate/inactivate a new feature, and done.

Also, for now stick to the recipes that are recommended by the power users, or are actively maintained. Most of the recipes are solid, but encountering one of the abandoned ones while learning isn't fun.

Best of luck. I don't get to use pmwiki much these days, but every time I do, it's a breath of fresh air.

Sandy

I did some poking around in the pmwiki.php script and thought I
found where this was happening, but have not been able to change
its behavior. Can anyone tell me if there's a way around this,
and if so, what it might be ?

    Thanks,

      John
