One of the purposes of
WikiGroups is to allow a
Wiki Administrator to customize the features of
Pm Wiki on a per-group basis. Here is where
Per Group Customizations come into play.
The
local/ subdirectory (in the same directory that holds
pmwiki.php) is used to hold local configuration files. To perform
Local Customizations for a particular
Wiki Group, place the customizations in a file called "
Group.php" (where
Group is the actual name of the page group in question) in the
local/ subdirectory. This file will be automatically processed after processing any
Local Customizations in the
config.php file.
For example, to change the image displayed in the upper-left corner of pages in the "Chess"
Wiki Group, one could create
local/Chess.php containing
<?php
$PageLogoUrl = "/myimages/chess.gif";
?>
This would cause all pages in the Chess
Wiki Group to use "/myimages/chess.gif" as the logo image instead of the default.
Almost any customization that would be placed in
config.php can be used as a
PerGroupCustomization.
PmWiki also allows per-page customizations, simply use the full name of the page to be customized instead of the group. For example, one can use the file
local/Chess.HomePage.php to set local customizations for Chess.HomePage.
For all
Local Customizations, PmWiki first processes the
local/config.php file, and then looks for a per-page customization file in the
local/ subdirectory to process. If there is no per-page customization file then PmWiki looks for a per-group customization, and if that doesn't exist it looks for a per-group customization file for the group given by the
$DefaultGroup (usually "Main").
WikiGroups can also be used to host multiple sites in a single PmWiki installation, see
Multi Host Wiki.
