!!! About phpwiki: URLs

A special type of URL is available for making links to perform
administrative and other special functions in PhpWiki.  Here is a
brief description of how they work.

The basic syntax of a phpwiki: URL is

<pre>
__phpwiki:__''pagename''__?__''query-args''
</pre>

If _pagename_ is omitted it defaults to the current page.

_Query-args_ should be a set of parameters in standard HTTP GET
format.

The "action=''x''" parameter should almost always be given.  It can be one of
__browse__, __diff__, __edit__, __viewsource__,
__zip__, __dumpserial__, __loadserial__,
__remove__, __lock__, __unlock__,
__login__, __logout__, __setprefs__ or __save__.
The default action is __browse__.

Some of the actions accept other parameters.

__FullTextSearch__, __TitleSearch__:

  Accepts __s__=search term, and __size__=input size.

__edit__:

  Accepts __version__.

__remove__:

  Accepts __verify__.

__save__:

  Accepts __editversion__, __minor_edit__, and  __content__.

__setprefs__:

  Accepts __edit_area_width__, __edit_area_height__.

!! Writing Magic Links in Wiki Pages

A magic link looks like:

<pre>
__~[__ ''text'' __|__ ''phpwiki-url'' __]__
</pre>

The "''text'' *|*" is optional but usually recommended.  If given it
will provide the label for the link.

The _phpwiki-url_ is a *phpwiki:* URL as described above.

!Some examples

<verbatim>
[ Edit the SandBox | phpwiki:SandBox?action=edit ]
</verbatim>
will generate a link which will take you directly to editing the
SandBox, like so: [Edit the SandBox | phpwiki:SandBox?action=edit].

Other possibilites:
* [ Diff the SandBox | phpwiki:SandBox?action=diff ],
* [ Lock the HomePage | phpwiki:HomePage?action=lock ],
* [ Get a Full Zip Dump | phpwiki:?action=zip&include=all ],
* Search for [ Page titles containing 'wiki' | phpwiki:?action=TitleSearch&s=wiki ]

!! Writing Magic Forms in Wiki Pages

''__Note__: The old syntax for Magic forms is no longer supported.
They are superseded by =<?plugin-form>=.''

If the plugin is called using *<?plugin-form* instead of *<?plugin*
and the plugin supports searching, then it will be rendered as a form.

''size'':

  If given, specifies the size of the input area.

''s'':

  Specifies the default value for the input.

!Examples:

A search plugin invoked with *<?plugin* instead of *<?plugin-form*
simply inserts the search results of the plugin:

<verbatim>
<?plugin TitleSearch s=wiki noheader=true ?>
</verbatim>

Search results for Page titles containing 'wiki':

<?plugin TitleSearch s=wiki noheader=true ?>

<verbatim>
<?plugin-form FullTextSearch ?>
</verbatim>

gives

<?plugin-form FullTextSearch ?>

While

<verbatim>
<?plugin-form TitleSearch formsize=12 ?>
</verbatim>

yields

<?plugin-form TitleSearch formsize=12 ?>
