Note: Most of the actions on this page require administrative privileges.
1 - Page Explorer
First select pages and then define the action:
or call the available WikiAdmin actions directly:
| /Chown | /Purge | /Remove | /Rename | /SearchReplace | /SetAcl | /SetAclSimple | /DeleteAcl |
2 - Global Access Rights
These action pages will allow you to set the default access rights for wiki pages. Pages without individual access rights will use these default access rights.
3 - User Management
3.1 - Reset a users password
3.2 - Email Verification
This is currently non-strict, leaving some possible holes in not being able to
connect to certain mail hosts, which can be overridden below. See 
PhpWiki:EmailVerification.
This button will show a list of all users with registered emails and buttons to set the verification status manually.
4 - Cleanup
A Wiki SandBox is very easy to clean. Here you can restore it to pristine condition by loading the default from pgsrc.
5 - Making Snapshots or Backups
5.1 - ZIP files of database
These links lead to zip files, generated on the fly, which contain all the pages in your Wiki. The zip file will be downloaded to your local computer.
This ZIP Snapshot contains only the latest versions of each page, while this ZIP Dump contains all archived versions.
(If the PhpWiki is configured to allow it, anyone can download a zip file.)
If your php has zlib support, the files in the archive will be compressed, otherwise they will just be stored.
5.2 - Dump to directory
Here you can dump pages of your Wiki into a directory of your choice.
The most recent version of each page will written out to the directory, one page per file. Your server must have write permissions to the directory!
6 - Restoring
If you have dumped a set of pages from PhpWiki, you can reload them here. Note that pages in your database will be overwritten; thus, if you dumped your HomePage when you load it from this form it will overwrite the one in your database now. If you want to be selective just delete the pages from the directory (or zip file) which you don't want to load.
6.1 - Upload File
Here you can upload ZIP archives, or individual files from your (client) machine.
6.2 - Load File
Here you can load ZIP archives, individual files or entire directories. The file or directory must be local to the http server. You can also use this form to load from an http: or ftp: URL.
6.3 - Upgrade
Do some verification checks and upgrade changes automatically, after having installed a new phpwiki engine update:
- Upgrade new or changed page revisions from pgsrc,
- Upgrade the database schema (mysql page.id auto_increment, ADD session.sess_ip),
You can force overwrite or not:
7 - Format of the files
7.1 - Current Format
Currently the pages are stored, one per file, as MIME (RFC:2045)
e-mail (RFC:822) messages. The content-type application/x-phpwiki
is used, and page meta-data is encoded in the content-type
parameters. (If the file contains several versions of a page, it will
have type multipart/mixed, and contain several sub-parts, each
with type application/x-phpwiki.) The message body contains the
page text.
7.2 - Old Formats
7.2.1 - Serialized Files
The dump to directory command used to dump the pages as PHP serialized() strings. For humans, this made the files very hard to read, and nearly impossible to edit.
7.2.2 - Plain Files
Before that the page text was just dumped to a file--this means that all page meta-data was lost. Note that when loading plain files, the page name is deduced from the file name.
The upload and load functions will automatically recognize each of these three types of files, and handle them accordingly.
8 - Dump pages as XHTML
This will generate a directory of static pages suitable for distribution on disk where no web server is available. The various links for page editing functions and navigation are removed from the pages.
The XHTML file collection can also be downloaded as an XHTML ZIP Snapshot.
