Drafts

(:Summary: PmWiki group header. Includes styles and trail.:)

This documentation page needs to be written.

• It was originally referenced in Release Notes
• It will need to be referenced in one or more of these pages:
  • Basic Editing
  • Documentation Index
  • MarkupMasterIndex

Cross-references: Here are some places that you can go to find information about the Drafts feature to use in creating this page:

• Release Notes
  • Draft handling capabilities have been greatly improved. When $EnableDrafts is set, then the "Save" button is relabeled to "Publish" and a "Save draft" button appears. In addition, an $EnablePublishAttr configuration variable adds a new "publish" authorization level to distinguish editing from publishing. See PmWiki.Drafts? for more details.
• $EnableDrafts
• $EnablePublishAttr
• $DraftRecentChangesFmt
  • If you set this variable, you may want to exclude *.RecentDraftChanges pages in pagelists and searches. This is done by adding to config.php such a code:
    $SearchPatterns['default'][] = '!\\.RecentDraftChanges!';
• 00755?
• Security
  • How do I moderate all postings?
    • Enable PmWiki.Drafts
    • Set $EnableDrafts, this relabels the "Save" button to "Publish" and a "Save draft" button appears.
    • Set $EnablePublishAttr, this adds a new "publish" authorization level to distinguish editing from publishing.

Every time a page that had been saved as a draft gets published, the draft gets deleted like a regular wiki page, which creates a PmWiki.Drafts.draft,deltimestamp file in the wiki directory. This might make housekeeping per ftp more neccessary than it has been before.
