# Installation/Setup questions
I have just installed ikiwiki and it works - at least I have the example index.mdwn page
----
-# OpenID
-
-I just figured I'd edit something on the page with my OpenID, since you've implemented it! --*[Kyle](http://kitenet.net/~kyle/)*=

-> Kyle, If you like openid, I can switch your personal wiki over to use your openid. --[[Joey]]

-Some questions about the RecentChanges function. -- Ethan

-> (Moved to [[todo/recentchanges]] --[[Joey]])

-Also, I'd like to request another template parameter which is just
-$config{url}. That way you won't have to hard-code the URL of the wiki into
-the template. -- Ethan
-
-> That's already available in the BASEURL parameter. --[[Joey]]

# asciidoc or txt2tags ?
Any plugins or support for using asciidoc or txt2tags as the wiki language and/or exporting to asciidoc or txt2tags?

+>>> Have a look at [pandoc](http://code.google.com/p/pandoc/). It can make PDFs via pdflatex. --[[roktas]]

# Using with CVS?

-# Disable sub-discussion pages?
+# Access Keys
+
+Would anyone else find this a valuable addition. In oddmuse and instiki (the only other
+wiki engines I am currently using, the edit, home, and submit link tags have an
+accesskey attribute. I find it nice not to have to resort to the mouse for those
+actions. However, it may not be something everyone appreciates. Any thoughts?
+--[Mazirian](http://mazirian.com)

-# wiki\_file\_regexp and RCS ,v files
+# Editing the style sheet.
-I have RCS ,v files in my source directory. But get many "skipping bad filename" warnings.
+It would be nice to be able to edit the stylesheet by means of the cgi. Or is this possible? I wasn't able to achieve it.
+Ok, that's my last 2 cents for a while. --[Mazirian](http://mazirian.com)
-Also I don't see wiki\_file\_regexp documented. Because it is used with $config{wiki\_file\_regexp} I assume it can be set in the ikiwiki.setup.
-I added a comma to it in my IkiWiki.pm in the defaultconfig(). But that was wrong (so I reverted back), because then the ,v files were copied to my www tree.
+> I don't support editing it, but if/when ikiwiki gets file upload support,

-What is the correct way to include ,v RCS revision files in my source tree without receiving the "bad" messages and without copying over to www tree?

+# RecentChanges should show path to wiki sub-pages?
-> Add the ,v to the $config{wiki_file_prune_regexps} array. This is how we
-> skip equivilant files from other revision control systems too.
-> --[[Joey]]]
+The RecentChanges only shows the final file name for the recently changes file,
+for example "discussion". It would be more useful to see "index/discussion"
+or the path to the sub-page. I think this is handled by the htmllink() routine.
+
+> Went ahead and did this, IMHO the display is ok as-is. --[[Joey]]

-# Textile Plugin
+# Should not create an existing page
+
+This might be a bug, but will discuss it here first.
+Clicking on an old "?" or going to a create link but new Markdown content exists, should not go into "create" mode, but should do a regular "edit".
+
+> I belive that currently it does a redirect to the new static web page.
+> At least that's the intent of the code. --[[Joey]]
+
+>> Try at your site: `?page=discussion&from=index&do=create`
+>> It brings up an empty textarea to start a new webpage -- even though it already exists here. --reed
+
+>>> Ah, right. Notice that the resulting form allows saving the page as
+>>> discussion, or users/discussion, but not index/discussion, since this
+>>> page already exists. If all the pages existed, it would do the redirect
+>>> thing. --[[Joey]]

+# Refreshing RecentChanges page
+
+What do you think about refreshing RecentChanges page (via Meta Refresh Tag)?
+It can be useful for users like me which rather prefer watching the last changes
+in WWW browser tab than subscribing to page. --Pawel
+
+> Depends, if it were done the time period should be made configurable.
+> Unwanted server load due to refeshing could be a problem for some.
+> --[[Joey]]
-It was trivial, but I put together a plugin that uses the Textile markup
-language, which I find to be the most superior of the various options for
-that sort of thing. Where or how do I submit it for inclusion?
+>> Yes, it should be configurable by ikiwiki admin. I believe he's not

+>> I propose to add `recentchanges_refresh` variable in ikiwiki setup
+>> to setting refresh period. If it's not defined, then ikiwiki doesn't put
+>> refresh meta tag into `recentchanges.tmpl`. Do you like it? ;) --Pawel
-> You can post it to [[plugins/contrib]]. --[[Joey]]
+>>> Seems reasonable --[[Joey]]
