PmWiki | Profiles / Petko

Petko is busy in real life and may not respond swiftly to queries.

Hi, I'm Petko Yotov, a.k.a. 5ko. I recently (2004) found PmWiki and I like it very much. I've been working for some time on several other wikis (MediaWiki, Tavi, Wikini, Wacko) and CMSs, but I'm considering switching all my sites to PmWiki.

My contributions

GTD Task List Manager -- A simple fast GTD task/todo list manager
Reminder -- displays a list of birthdays and tasks for the next days
Thumb list -- a nice simple picture gallery
SQLite -- store wiki data in an SQLite database instead of on the filesystem (preview)
RecentChanges Deletion -- how to delete a *.RecentChanges page
New Group Warning -- how to display a warning when a user is creating a page in a non-existant wiki group, without blocking the page creation.
Limit Diffs per page -- paginate the "diff" output (when viewing the page history)
Time zones -- display all dates and times in your time zone and time format
UTF-8 -- a collection of tips and fixes
Recent Uploads Log -- How to log all uploads to the RecentChanges pages
DeltaBytesRecentChanges - how many characters were added/deleted when a page was modified (in RecentChanges pages)
Watch lists -- Track the latest changes to a list of pages
More custom page variables -- Additional custom page variables for use in pages, forms, includes and conditional markup.
Link titles -- to external and internal links
As Spaced function in UTF-8 - This tip will save you a lot of frustration! (now added to core)
Textarea -- How to pre-fill a "textarea" input control with a value

If you use/like one of my recipes and wish to thank me, you should know that I very much like recieving postcards (made of paper, with a stamp, showing a view from your location/city). This is an old-fashioned, easy way to give me something small, but real and valuable for my contributions and will encourage me to keep working on PmWiki. If you mention your e-mail address, I will send you a note when I recieve your postcard. :-)

Address for postcard:

Petko Yotov, 56 boulevard des Invalides, 75007 Paris, France

(please mention which recipe of mine are you using).

A strtotime MarkupExpression that understands the format "DATE +1 days", in config.php:

 $MarkupExpr['strtotime'] = 'strftime( 
   (@$args[1]>"" ? $args[1]:"m-%d"), 
   strtotime(@$args[0]>""? $args[0] : "now"))';

and then, in a page, for the default %Y-%m-%d format:

  {(strtotime "{*$Name} +1 days")}

or, to specify another format:

  {(strtotime "{*$Name} +1 days" "%d/%m/%Y")}

Notes:

PITS.00544 -- Limit the number of displayed diffs at once (with a demo code)
PITS.00792 -- like Cookbook.Textarea
PmWiki.PageVariables
Cookbook.ExternalLinks -- the section How to change the CSS-classes of links to different groups and other things
PmWiki.Internationalizations - This tip will save you days of headaches!!! See "Notes" section
Cookbook.PerGroupSubDirectories - the "Per-group sub-sub directories" section
