[pmwiki-devel] PageStore with groups in subdirectories

[Petko Yotov]

You should never need to modify pmwiki.php or other core files, mostly 
everything can be redefined or replaced in config.php or with recipes. 
This way you can upgrade without losing your functions or having to 
re-apply your changes.

Here, simply define the $WikiDir variable in config.php.
