XmlWiki

xmlWiki is a hack not done the proper way: it is a modification of the index.php page offering new features which are all maintained from editing normal wiki articles.

• All articles are XML
• An additional xml page allows editing the data aspect of an article as a tree.
• A permissions structure offering basic read/write control over articles with users and groups.
• PHP Functions can be created and maintained by developers and can be dynamically applied to articles before rendering.
• Articles can made to automatically publish remotely over HTTP or FTP when edits are saved.

The hack requires four hooks into the current Wiki environment

• articleRender (done)
• articleRequest (done)
• articleChange (done)
• userName (done)

Implimenting the Hack

Use the xmlwiki.php script to enable or disable the xml parsing of MediaWiki content.
