This hook is called just before ikiwiki scans the wiki for changed files.
It's useful for plugins that need to create or modify a source page. The
-
-
-
-
-
function is passed no values.
### needsbuild
This allows a plugin to manipulate the list of files that need to be
built when the wiki is refreshed. The function is passed a reference to an
-array of pages that will be rebuilt, and can modify the array, either
+array of files that will be rebuilt, and can modify the array, either
adding or removing files from it.
### scan
This hook is called early in the process of building the wiki, and is used
as a first pass scan of the page, to collect metadata about the page. It's
-mostly used to scan the page for [[WikiLinks|ikiwiki/WikiLink]], and add them to `%links`.
-Present in IkiWiki 2.40 and later.
+mostly used to scan the page for [[WikiLinks|ikiwiki/WikiLink]], and add
+them to `%links`. Present in IkiWiki 2.40 and later.
The function is passed named parameters "page" and "content". Its return
value is ignored.
If `hook` is passed an optional "scan" parameter, set to a true value, this
makes the hook be called during the preliminary scan that ikiwiki makes of
updated pages, before begining to render pages. This should be done if the
-hook modifies data in `%links`. Note that doing so will make the hook be
-run twice per page build, so avoid doing it for expensive hooks. (As an
-optimisation, if your preprocessor hook is called in a void context, you
-can assume it's being run in scan mode, and avoid doing expensive things at
-that point.)

Note that if the [[htmlscrubber]] is enabled, html in
preprocessor [[ikiwiki/directive]] output is sanitised, which may limit what
and later.

### htmlize
return the htmlized content.

-value, then this extension will not be stripped from the source filename when

generating the page.
+If `hook` is passed an optional "noextension" parameter, set to a true
+value, then the id parameter specifies not a filename extension, but
+a whole filename that can be htmlized. This is useful for files
+like `Makefile` that have no extension.
+
+If `hook` is passed an optional "longname" parameter, this value is used
+when prompting a user to choose a page type on the edit page form.
+
### pagetemplate
hook(type => "pagetemplate", id => "foo", call => \&pagetemplate);
since it's sometimes used to test to see which pages in a set of pages a
user can edit.
+### canremove
+
+ hook(type => "canremove", id => "foo", call => \&canremove);
+
+This hook can be used to implement arbitrary access methods to control
+when a page can be removed using the web interface (commits from
+revision control bypass it). It works exactly like the `canedit` hook,
+but is passed the named parameters `cgi` (a CGI object), `session`
+(a session object) and `page` (the page subject to deletion).
+
+### canrename
+
+ hook(type => "canrename", id => "foo", call => \&canrename);
+
+This hook can be used to implement arbitrary access methods to control when
+a page can be renamed using the web interface (commits from revision control
+bypass it). It works exactly like the `canedit` hook,
+but is passed the named parameters `cgi` (a CGI object), `session` (a
+session object), `src`, `srcfile`, `dest` and `destfile`.
+
### checkcontent
hook(type => "checkcontent", id => "foo", call => \&checkcontent);
additional parameters: `author`, `url`, and `subject`. The `subject`
parameter may also be filled with the user's comment about the change.
-Note: When the user edits an existing wiki page, the passed `content` will
-include only the lines that they added to the page, or modified.
+Note: When the user edits an existing wiki page, this hook is also
+passed a `diff` named parameter, which will include only the lines
+that they added to the page, or modified.
The hook should return `undef` on success. If the content is disallowed, it
should return a message stating what the problem is, or a function
hook(type => "renamepage", id => "foo", call => \&renamepage);
This hook is called by the [[plugins/rename]] plugin when it renames
-something. The hook is passed named parameters: `page`, `oldpage`,
-`newpage`, and `content`, and should try to modify the content to reflect
-the name change. For example, by converting links to point to the new page.

+The hook is passed named parameters: `page`, `oldpage`, `newpage`, and
+`content`, and should try to modify the content of `page` to reflect
+the name change. For example, by converting links to point to the
+new page.
+
+### rename
+
+ hook(type => "rename", id => "foo", call => \&rename);
+
+When a page or set of pages is renamed, the referenced function is
+called for every page, and is passed named parameters:
+
+* `torename`: a reference to a hash with keys: `src`, `srcfile`,
+ `dest`, `destfile`, `required`.
+* `cgi`: a CGI object
+* `session`: a session object.
+
+Such a hook function returns any additional rename hashes it wants to
+add. This hook is applied recursively to returned additional rename
+hashes, so that it handles the case where two plugins use the hook:
+plugin A would see when plugin B adds a new file to be renamed.
### getsetup
and undef if a rebuild could be needed in some circumstances, but is not
strictly required.
+### genwrapper
+
+ hook(type => "genwrapper", id => "foo", call => \&genwrapper);
+
+This hook is used to inject C code (which it returns) into the `main`
+function of the ikiwiki wrapper when it is being generated.
+
## Plugin interface
To import the ikiwiki plugin interface:
Use this when constructing the filename of a html file. Use `urlto` when
generating a link to a page.
-#### `add_depends($$)`
+#### `add_depends($$;@)`
Makes the specified page depend on the specified [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]].
+By default, dependencies are full content dependencies, meaning that the
+page will be updated whenever anything matching the PageSpec is modified.
+This default can be overridden by additional named parameters, which can be
+used to indicate weaker types of dependencies:
+
+* `presence` if set to true, only the presence of a matching page triggers
+ the dependency.
+* `links` if set to true, any change in the text of links on a matching page
+ triggers the dependency
+
#### `pagespec_match($$;@)`
Passed a page name, and [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]], returns true if the
PageSpec should match against. If not passed, relative PageSpecs will match
relative to the top of the wiki.
+#### `pagespec_match_list($$;@)`
+
+Passed a reference to a list of page names, and [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]],
+returns the set of pages that match the [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]].
+
+Additional named parameters can be passed, to further limit the match.
+The most often used is "location", which specifies the location the
+PageSpec should match against. If not passed, relative PageSpecs will match
+relative to the top of the wiki.
+
+Unlike pagespec_match, this may throw an error if there is an error in
+the pagespec.
+
#### `bestlink($$)`
Given a page and the text of a link on the page, determine which
Many plugins need to generate html links and add them to a page. This is
done by using the `htmllink` function. The usual way to call
-`htmlllink` is:
+`htmllink` is:
htmllink($page, $page, $link)
filename of the page. For example, `targetpage("foo", "rss", "feed")`
will yield something like `foo/feed.rss`.
+#### `add_link($$)`
+
+This adds a link to `%links`, ensuring that duplicate links are not
+added. Pass it the page that contains the link, and the link text.
+
## Miscellaneous
### Internal use pages
Passed a message, user, and ip address. Should commit all staged changes.
Returns undef on success, and an error message on failure.
-Changes can be staged by calls to `rcs_add, `rcs_remove`, and
+Changes can be staged by calls to `rcs_add`, `rcs_remove`, and
`rcs_rename`.
#### `rcs_add($)`
IkiWiki::PageSpec package, that is named `match_foo`, where "foo()" is
how it will be accessed in a [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]]. The function will be passed
two parameters: The name of the page being matched, and the thing to match
-against. It may also be passed additional, named parameters. It should return
-a IkiWiki::SuccessReason object if the match succeeds, or an
-IkiWiki::FailReason object if the match fails.
+against. It may also be passed additional, named parameters.
+
+It should return a IkiWiki::SuccessReason object if the match succeeds, or
+an IkiWiki::FailReason object if the match fails. If the match cannot be
+attempted at all, for any page, it can instead return an
+IkiWiki::ErrorReason object explaining why.
