I now a great solution (for me) that integrates PmWiki and phpBB2 as a single (looking) site.  Basically I've added an 'action=hmtl' to return the raw html of any particular page.  In my case, _all_ I wanted to do was get the Wiki sidebar in to the forum.  I went down this route to keep the interface between PmWiki and phpBB2 as minimalistic as possible and in a format that the forum skin (style) can deal with.  Additionally it's dynamic so updates to the sidebar in the Wiki are reflected in the forum.

 

I've ended up with something that works very well. See http://www.enginuity.org/ for the Wiki and click the 'Forums' link in the sidebar - they look very similar.

 

Before I can create a mini recipe I could do with some advice on how to 'unplug' my changes from pmwiki.php.  Basically I've added a new function called HandleHTML, see below:  

 

function HandleHTML($pagename, $auth = 'read') {
  if (PageExists($pagename)) {
    $page = RetrieveAuthPage($pagename, $auth, true, READPAGE_CURRENT);
    if (!$page) Abort('?cannot read $pagename');
    PCache($pagename,$page);
    $text = @$page['text'];
    $text = '(:groupheader:)'.@$text.'(:groupfooter:)';
    print MarkupToHTML($pagename, $text);
  }
  else {
    Abort('?$pagename does not exist');
  }
}


... and extended the $HandleActions array accordingly, see below:

 

$HandleActions = array(
  'html' => 'HandleHTML',
  ....

 

So back to my question ... how can I unplug the above changes from pmwiki.php into perhaps a new cookbook/gethtmlpage.php file?

 

Obviously any other recommendations/improvements to my abortion of an attempt to code php (copying what I saw around that did similar)!

 

Regards,

-Steve.
