-How about doing the index stuff only on the output side? (Or does the latter patch do it? I haven't tried them.) That is, render every `foo.type` for the rendered types (mdwn etc.) as `foo/index.html`, generating links to `foo/` instead of `foo.html`, but not earlier than the point where the .html as presently appended to the page name. Then you just flip a build time option on an existing wiki without any changes to that, and the pages appear elsewhere. The `index.type` files might be left out of this scheme, though (and the top-level one, of course, has to). --[[tuomov]]
-
-> Well, get around to wasting time on it after all, and [here's the patch](http://iki.fi/tuomov/use_dirs.diff). The `-use_dirs` option will cause everything to be rendered inside directories. There may still be some problems with it, that need looking into (it doesn't e.g. check for conflicts between foo/index.mdwn and foo.mdwn), but seems to work well enough for me... The patch also improves, I think, the parentlinks code a little, as it uses generic routines to actually find the target location now. The only places where the `use_dirs` option is used is `htmlpage`, in fact, although other specific kludges needed to be removed from other points in the code.
-
->> FWIW, [use_dirs.diff](http://iki.fi/tuomov/use_dirs.diff) applies cleanly, and works well for me. Given that it makes this behaviour optional, how about merging it? I have some follow-up patches which I'm sitting on for now. ;-) -- Ben
-
->>> How do you apply a patch created by svn diff? I've been curious about this for a long time. The use_dirs patch looks OK but I'd like to play with it. --Ethan
-
->>>> Just do `svn co svn://ikiwiki.kitenet.net/ikiwiki/trunk ikiwiki` then `cd ikiwiki && patch -p0 <use_dirs.diff`. :-) Same would work with a tarball as well.
-
->>>>> Sorry, I'm dumb. I'm so used to doing -p1 that doing -p0 never occurred to me; I thought the patch format generated by svn diff was just "wrong". --Ethan

-
-First pass over Tumov's patch -- which doesn't cleanly apply anymore, so
-I'll attach an updated and modified version below. --[[Joey]]
-
-* As we discussed in email, this will break handling of `foo/index.mdwn`
- pages. Needs to be changed to generate `foo/index/index.html` for such
- pages (though not for the toplevel `index`).
-
- >> Can someone elaborate on this? What's broken about it? Will pages
- >> foo/index/index.html include foo/index in their parentlinks? --Ethan
-
- >>> Presently the patch does not move `foo/index.type` as `foo/index/index.html`, but renders
- >>> it as `foo/index.html`, not because I particularly want that (except for the top-level one, of
- >>> course), but because it could be done :). This, however, conflicts with a `foo.mdwn`
- >>> rendered as `foo/index.html`. The easiest and cleanest way to fix this, is to simply
- >>> not handle `index` in such a special manner -- except for the top-level one. --[[tuomov]]
-
- >>>> Oh, I see, this patch doesn't address wanting to use foo/index.mdwn as
- >>>> an input page. Hmm. --Ethan
-
- >>>>> No, it doesn't. I originally also was after that, but after discussing the
- >>>>> complexities of supporting that with Joey, came up with this simpler scheme
- >>>>> without many of those issues. It is the output that I primarily care about, anyway,
- >>>>> and I do, in fact, find the present input file organisation quite nice. The output

-
- >>>>>> I support your decision, but now this wiki page serves two different patches :).
- >>>>>> Can we split them somehow?
- >>>>>> What are the complexities involved?
- >>>>>> I think I overcomplicated it a little with my patch, and Per Bothner's gets
- >>>>>> much closer to the heart of it. --Ethan
-
-* This does make the resulting wikis much less browsable directly on the
- filesystem, since `dir` to `dir/index.html` conversion is only handled by web
- servers and so you end up browsing to a directory index all the time.
- Wouldn't it be better to make the links themselves include the index.html?
- (Although that would mean that [[bugs/broken_parentlinks]] would not be
- fixed en passant by this patch..)
-
- > Yes, the sites are not that browsable on the FS (I blame the browsers
- > for being stupid!), but linking to the directory produces so much
- > cleaner URLs for the Web, that I specifically want it. This is,
- > after all, an optional arrangement.
-
- >> It's optional for *now* ... I suppose that I could make adding the
- >> index.html yet another option. I'm not _that_ fond of optioons
- >> however. --[[Joey]]
-
- >>> It is worth noting, that with this patch, you _can_ render the local
- >>> copy in the present manner, while rendering the Web copy under
- >>> directories. So no extra options are really needed for local browsing,
- >>> unless you also want to serve the same copy over the Web, which I
- >>> doubt. --[[tuomov]]
-
-* I suggest keeping the links using foo/index.html in the html file, but use
- JavaScript to fix the links onload time - but only if the protocol is http or https.
- This provides nice links without the "index.html" when served by a
- web server, but degrades nicely when using a file: url, or when JavaScript
- is disabled. --Per Bothner
-
- function fixLinks ( ) {
- var scheme = location.protocol;
- if (scheme!="http:" && scheme!="https:") return;
- var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
- for (var i = links.length; --i >= 0; )
- links[i].href = links[i].href.replace(/[/]index.html/,"");
- }
-
-* Some of the generated links are missing the trailing / , which is
- innefficient since it leads to a http redirect when clicking on that
- link. Seems to be limited to ".." links, and possibly only to
- parentlinks. (Already fixed it for "." links.)
-
- > The solution seems to be to add to `urlto` the following snippet,
- > which might also help with the next point. (Sorry, no updated patch
- > yet. Should be on my way out in the cold anyway...)
-
- if ( !length $to ) {
- return baseurl($from);
- }
-
- >> Indeed, this brings the number of abs2rels closer to par, as well
- >> as fixing the .. links. --[[Joey]]
-
-* It calles abs2rel about 16% more often with the patch, which makes it
- a bit slower, since abs2rel is not very efficient. (This omits abs2rel
- calls that might be memoized away already.) This seems to be due to one
- extra abs2rel for the toplevel wiki page due to the nicely cleaned up code
- in `parentlinks` -- so I'm not really complaining.. Especially since the
- patch adds a new nice memoizable `urlto`.
-* The rss page name generation code seems unnecesarily roundabout, I'm sure
- that can be cleaned up somehow, perhaps by making `htmlpage` more
- generic.
-
- > Something like `targetpage(basename, extension)`?
-
- >> Yes exactly. It might also be possible to remove htmlpage from the
- >> plugin interface entirely (in favour of urlto), which would be a
- >> good time to make such a changes. Not required to accept this patch
- >> though.
-
- >>> [...] in fact, all uses of htmlpage in the plugins are used to
- >>> construct an absolute address: the absolute url in most cases, so an `absurl`
- >>> call could be added to be used instead of htmlpage
- >>> --[[tuomov]]
-
- >>>> Or it could use urlto("index", $page) instead. --[[Joey]]
-
- >>>>> That is, however, a relative URL, and maybe an absolute one
- >>>>> is wanted. Perhaps `urlto($targetpage)` should return the
- >>>>> absolute version --[[tuomov]]
-
-* > and something else in the
- > aggregate plugin (above), that I also think isn't what's wanted:
- > aren't `foo.html` pages also "rendered", so that they get moved as `foo/index.html`?
- > --[[tuomov]]
-
- >> Yes, the aggregate plugin will save the files as foo.html in the
- >> sourcedir, and that will result in foo/index.html in the web site, same
- >> as any other page. --[[Joey]]
-
-* `img.pm` makes some assumptions about name of the page that will be
- linking to the image, which are probably broken.
-
-* The changes to htmlpage's behavior probably call for the plugin
- interface version number to be changed.
-
-Latest version of my patch... with most of the stuff that's been discussed, including `targetpage`.
-Also available [here](http://iki.fi/tuomov/use_dirs-20070221.diff). (BTW, this posting, applying, and
-updating of plain-old-diffs containing all the previous changes is starting to be painful. Reminds
-me why I use darcs..) --[[tuomov]]
