On the page itself, you need to use {$Name} or {*$Name}.
{=$Name} is required in the pagelist template to refer to the name of
page being listed at the moment.

It's a custom function (see end of message). It's designed to return a
human readable date from the Page name e.g. News.20100527 would give
Thursday, 27 May 2010.
If you look at http://www.dodcott-cum-wilkesley.co.uk/wiki/News/20100527
you can see that it works in the base page, but not when used in a pagelist.
I don't normally write php and it's been a couple of years since I set
up this site. As it's always worked OK before the latest upgrade, my
memory of why I did it that way is a bit rusty:)
{(ftime fmt="%A, %B %d, %Y" when='{=$Name}')} doesn't appear to work,
see the page referenced above for the output.
Thanks for your help.
# Title that appears as at the top of each entry.
$FmtPV['$JournalDateTitle'] = 'TitleToDate2($pagename)'
function TitleToDate2($pagename) {
$tname =

[pmwiki-users] Problem with PTV in Pagelists
I have just upgraded my PmWiki to the latest stable 2.2.16 from a
previous 2.x version. I am now having a problem using page text
variables in page lists. I am presuming that this is caused by a change
in behavior, but can't work out how to fix it.
My page list looks like this:
(:pagelist group=Calendar if="date {(ftime %Y%m%d)}.. {=$Name}" count=5
fmt=#calendar order=name -Calendar.HomePage -RecentChanges:)
the format command looks like:
[[#calendar]]
||'''[[{=$FullName}| {=$JournalDateTitle}]]'''||
(:include {=$FullName} lines=2:)
(:if ! equal {>$Group}:)
-
(:if:)
[[#calendarend]]
The pagelist displays the next five events in the Calendar group. The
problem is with $JournalDateTitle. This splits the filename from
Calendar.201005028 into a more human readable format. It displays
correctly when I use it on a page in the calendar group, but not
displayed in a side bar on the front page. This worked OK with the
previous version of PmWiki that I had installed.

[pmwiki-users] How to Deal With a DOS Type Attack
I have noticed on one of my servers that Apache was using up all my RAM. Looking in the logs I see thousands of lines like: 94.102.63.14 - - [03/Sep/2009:10:10:43 +0100] "POST /wiki/PmWikiAdmin/PageHeader?action=edit HTTP/1.1" 200 168 "http://www.wilkesley.net/wiki/PmWikiAdmin/PageHeader?action=edit"; "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)" The wikis on this server are all password protected. It looks as though someone is trying a generic type of spam attack by editing pages. There are a number of different ip addresses being used, which seem to have no obvious connection - it looks as though there are several different groups trying the attack. As a first step I can extract their ip addresses and add them to my hosts.deny, but I don't expect this to be very effective. Does anyone have any alternative suggestions?

What I want is to produce a pagelist that shows pages from this group

Of course ten minutes after posting this I found out how to do it! The

$pagename = ResolvePageName($pagename);
$name = PageVar($pagename, '$Name');
if (preg_match('/-Draft$/', $name)) {

Re: [pmwiki-users] Speed tips?
Out of interest how slow is slow? My journal has about that number of pages and is based on Blogsimple2, which uses page lists entensively. The longest anything takes to display is about 10 seconds. Most stuff displays in less than 5 seconds. One thing that puzzles me slightly is that the time take to display a list of titles in my Category Archives (pagelist driven) varies a lot. However, once I have viewed a category once it displays much faster a second time. My category page uses a pagelist like: (:pagelist order=-ctime Category.Fishing fmt=#category:) Does the pagelist function use the .pageindex file for page lists? If so is there a way of forcing .pageindex to be updated eg by a cron job.

Re: [pmwiki-users] Turn Off Safe Mode
It's possible that Plesk is enabling safe mode on a per virtual host
basis. You might possibly be able to turn it off with an .htaccess
directive.
I think that the magic directive is (you may need t check the apache docs):
php_value safe_mode "1"

Re: [pmwiki-users] Turn Off Safe Mode
Try changing the ownership of wiki.d to whoever the web server is running as. In my case this would be: chmod -R www.data-www.data wiki.d You may need to poke about in the Apache config file to find out what user the web server is running as.

Re: [pmwiki-users] Problem opening pages with Emacs pmwiki-mode
Bear in mind I am an emacs newbie:) If I open the HTTP POST buffer in one window and watch it whilst I try editing posting a wiki page in the pmwiki buffer, I see no output. I assume that the buffer should hold all the information that is POSTED to the web server.

[pmwiki-users] Problem opening pages with Emacs pmwiki-mode
I am trying out the pmwiki-mode Emacs recipe and have hit a problem opening pages. I am using the CVS version with pmwiki 2.20 beta 16. When I try to open a page on http://www.pmwiki.org everything works correctly. However, if I try to open a page on any other site one of two things happens: If I specify an address as http://www.ian-barton.com/wiki/Main.WikiSandbox I get an "pmwiki-uri-type Does not match a URI pattern error". If I specify an address in the format http://www.ian-barton.com/wiki/Main/WikiSandbox I get a 301 Page Moved error from Apache. In my .emacs I have: (add-to-list 'load-path "~/emacs/pmwiki-mode") (require 'pmwiki-mode) Any ideas what the problem might be?

Re: [pmwiki-users] How Many pages?
> > A simple question, please...It´s very important for my project > Anybody knows how many pages a PmWiki project supports? I don't think there is any limit imposed by PmWiki itself. It all depends on your webserver performance and configuration. I have got one wiki with about 3,000 pages that has no performance problems.

These should be writeable by the webserver. chmod the folder to 777 should fix it, but depending on exactly where your image files are stored it might pose a security risk as the folders would then be writeable by anybody.

If you are using ftp see if your ftp client has a "Show hidden files" option. If you have shell access typing ls -a should show all hidden files.
