The latest hacks include support for !WikiPlugins.

Wiki Plugins allow one to easily add new types of dynamic content (as well as other functionality) to wiki pages within Php Wiki. In this very wiki, the Recent Changes, Back Links, Like Pages and Debug Info pages are all implemented using plugins.

Example

Currently, one invokes a plugin by putting something like:

into a regular wiki-page. That particular example produces as list of pages which link to the current page. Here it is:

Back Links?>

(This is great for Category and Topic pages. You can use this to get an automatic in-line listing of pages in the Category or Topic.)

Details

(This is all subject to change.)

Plugins can take certain named arguments (most do). The values of these arguments can be determined four different ways. In order of precedence: # The plugin invocation can specify the value for an argument, like so: ;;: # The argument can be specified via an HTTP query argument. This doesn't happen (is not allowed) unless the argument is mentioned in the plugin invocation: ;;: # Default values specified in the plugin invocation: ;;: # The plugin must supply default values for each argument it uses. (The Back Links plugin uses the current page as the default value for the ''page'' argument.
