NAME

CGI::Wiki::Simple::Setup - Set up the wiki and fill content into some basic pages.

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple utility module that given a database sets up a complete wiki within it.

SYNOPSIS

  setup( dbtype => 'sqlite', dbname => "mywiki.db" );
  # This sets up a SQLite wiki within the file mywiki.db

  setup( dbtype => 'mysql', dbname => "wiki", dbuser => "wiki", dbpass => "secret", file => 'nodeball.txt' );
  # This sets up a MySQL wiki and loads the nodes from the file nodeball.txt

get_store %ARGS

get_store creates a store from a hash of parameters. There are two mandatory parameters :

  dbtype => 'mysql'

This is the type of the database. Recognized values are mysql, sqlite and pg.

  dbname => 'wiki'

This is the name of the database.

The remaining parameters are optional :

  dbuser => 'wikiuser'

The database user

  dbpass => 'secret'

The password for the database

  setup => 1

Create the database unless it exists already

  clear => 1

Wipe all nodes from the database before reinitializing it. Only valid if setup is also true.

  check => 1

Check that a node called index exists. This raises an error if the database exists but is empty.

setup %ARGS

Creates a new database and initializes it. Takes the same parameters as get_store and two additional optional parameters :

  nocontent => 1

Prevents loading the three default nodes from the module into the wiki.

  force => 1

Overwrites nodes with the loaded content even if they already exists.

setup_if_needed %ARGS

Creates a new database and initializes it if no current database is found. Takes the same arguments as setup

load_nodeball

Loads a nodeball into the wiki. A nodeball is a set of nodes in a text file like this :

  __NODE__
  Title: TestNode

  This is a test node. It
  consists of content that will be formatted through the
  wiki formatter.

  __NODE__
  Title: AnotherTestNode

  You know it.

The routine takes the following parameters additional to the usual database parameters :

  fh => \*FILE

Loads the nodeball from the filehandle FILE.

  file => 'nodeball.txt'

Loads the nodeball from the specified file.

commit_content %ARGS

Loads a set of nodes into the wiki database. Takes the following parameters :

  wiki => $wiki

An initialized CGI::Wiki.

  force => 1

Force overwriting existing nodes

  silent => 1

Do not print out normal messages. Warnings still get raised.

  nodes => \@NODES

A reference to an array of hash references. Each element should have the following structure :

  { title => 'A node title', content => 'Some content' }
