[pmwiki-users] Linux or Windows

2008-09-01 Thread Swift, Chris
Dear all, I'm in the process of getting a server setup for my site and I'm looking at 2 different options from www.1and1.com. They offer both Linux and Windows servers and both cost the same. So, the question is, would you recommend to have a server based off of Linux or Windows? I'm asking

A few years back I moved from a Windows host to a Linux. I much prefer the Linux host. I have control over URL names (mod_rewrite), and generally have more control over the environment. Information for installation and configuration of 3rd party software (things like Ruby, GIT, Drupal), seem

Having read the other messages, I use Windows and have sites hosted on Debian. I certainly have less problems with permissions on windows than *nix, but more importantly than the OS is the web server. I use Apache, but have used both IIS and Apache. I'd recommend Apache. I've never had problems

[pmwiki-users] Captcha: IP blocking

2008-09-01 Thread Marcus
Is there a way to block an IP address after the user has failed to respond correctly after a certain number of attempts? I have been working on challenges for the linguistic (text-based) Captchas. Since the responses are words from the dictionary it might be a good idea to limit the number of

[pmwiki-users] em dash

I need to add em-dash/en-dash capability on the wiki. Per the Cookbook instructions, I added the following to config.php: if ($action != 'edit') { # make curly quotes Markup(\,'_end',/\(.*?)\/,'#8220;$1#8221;'); # make m-dash Markup(---,'_end',/---([^-])/,'#8212;$1'); # make n-dash
