No DB, no 3rd party libraries. 6 7 Read quite a bit more about this project including a multi-part "making of" 8 article series titled _The Wiki Weekend_ here: 9 10 <a href="https://ratfactor.com/htmlwarden/">https://ratfactor.com/htmlwarden/</a> 11 12 13 ## Installation/setup 14 15 Clone this repo to a directory accessible 16 on a web server somewhere running PHP. 17 18 $ cp example_settings.php settings.php 19 20 Edit `settings.php` and tweak it for your setup. The comments should explain 21 what each option does. 22 23 You'll need to set write permissions to the pages directory to match either the 24 `user` or `group` PHP runs under. It is likely your web server's user/group. 25 Setting permisions may look something like: 26 27 $ chgrp -R www pages 28 $ chmod 0775 pages 29 $ chmod 0775 pages/archives 30 31 You'll also need to either make `index.php` the default "index" page for the 32 directory (this is a web server setting) or go to `index.php` directly in 33 the browser. 34 35 ## Usage 36 37 To edit pages, you'll need to be logged in. 38 39 Logins require a link. It will look something like this: 40 41 https://example.com/wiki/login.php?login=1234 42 43 Where the login above corresponds with an entry in `settings.php` like so: 44 45 '1234'=>'Guest' 46 47 If you want a login form instead, you'll need to make it. Have it submit by 48 POST to the `login.php` page. 49 50 "Pages" are saved as the inner bodies of an HTML document: 51 52 * Page bodies save to the `pages/` directory. 53 * Previous versions are saved to `pages/archive` with a timestamp prepended to the filename. 54 55 You can compare versions with normal command line diff tools. On POSIX systems 56 (such as Linux), this will show changes made since a particular archived 57 version of the `foo.html` page: 58 59 diff pages/archive/1749345875_foo.html pages/foo.html 60 61 That's about it. The source is small, so you can probably figure out how to add 62 things pretty easily if you're at all familiar with PHP or JavaScript. No 63 libraries of any kind are used. 64 65 ## License and what you can do with it 66 67 I'm releasing this under the GNU GPLv3 license.
