[Pmwiki-users] Feature requests (switch template, append text/mail to wiki)

[Crisses]

I'm now dealing with the 3rd installation of PmWiki that I'm 
administrating, and there's two others I'm doing the templates for. 
[Whew! :) ]

1)  I need some way of allowing a user to switch the template that 
PmWiki is using.  One template I'm working on is for nostalgic value 
but there's reasons that people might want to switch to a more 
'standard' template (to stop eyestrain for example LOL -- and some 
people just won't "get it").  So I would like to suggest a session 
variable to define which template is being used by a browser, as well 
as allowing some type of link that will change that variable (change 
"template-a.tmpl" to "template-b.tmpl" for that session, and maybe 
allow someone to put that in a link to the wiki so they never have to 
deal with the annoyance ;) ).

2) I really need that script for posting text files/emails to PmWiki [I 
checked about a week ago, and the filelink was broken -- if something 
else is going on the page in the Cookbook ought to be updated] -- 
however I would like the option of appending text to the wiki at points 
where there are certain comment or anchor(probably the best idea) 
markups -- I think those markups should be customizable such that you 
append text within an anchor section -->  if I append to "AnchorA" it 
should put the text before "AnchorB".  There should be a way to 
delineate "Prefix" as opposed to "Append-after" so that I can put a 
"Top" anchor and have items append just under Top, such that the most 
recent changes end up at the top of a page rather than at the bottom.

3) Another behavior I would like to see for the page creation in the 
posting of text files/email to PmWiki is that they adhere to the page 
template enabled for the page/group -- the anchor text markup in the 
template would specify where the new text would go for the page -- or 
the new text gets prepended or postpended (yeah, that's not a word) to 
the page template text if there's no specifications.

I'm working on a very specific php program that does some changes to 
mail/text files and I want to pipe or include that file into pmwiki 
pages -- in some cases I want that text to be inserted into several 
places in a page template on the wiki.  I can put the template into the 
program, or I can keep the template in the wiki (preferred).

Thanks!

"We humans seem to need to be able to trust in the relationships that 
sustain our lives.  In the minds of many theorists, that trust is 
necessary for adequate functioning.  People who are deeply mistrustful 
of relationships, or are constantly frightened about possibly losing 
relationships, have lives that are damaged and distorted.  The damage 
may be slight or it may be significant.  Avoiding such mistrust and 
doubt (or recognizing and overcoming it if it's already there) seems a 
central task in human existence."
