Moin 1.3.1 basic install

1. cd /usr/local
2. tar --zxf moin.tar.gz

3. python setup.py --quiet install --record=install.log

   1. As root
4. In Moin terminology:
   1. Location = /usr/local/wikis
   2. PREFIX = /usr

   3. MoinMoin directory (MM source) = /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/MoinMoin

   4. share directory (MM templates) = /usr/share/moin
5. edit, then run my script: setup-moin-1.3.1.sh
6. Copy my textil.py to /usr/local/wikis/kleinfelterwiki/data/plugin/parser

7. hack /usr/lib/python2.3/ste-packages/MoinMoin/Page.py to treat 'system' pages as wiki markup, even though they don't contain "#FORMAT wiki":

   1. Find the SendPage function (about line 650).

   2. Then find:
      1. elif verb == "acl"
      2. (about line 803)
   3. Add:

                 1. kpk mod begins
                if line[:25] == '#acl MoinPagesEditorGroup':
                    pi_format = 'wiki'
                 1. kpk mod ends

1. hack /usr/lib/python2.3/ste-packages/MoinMoin/PageEditor.py to show quick-help for textile and not wiki-markup:

   1. Search for QuickHelp (about line 1105).

   2. Replace the wiki-markup help with:

Formatting Tips:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
	<tr><td>_your text_</td><td class="arrow">?</td><td><em>your text</em></td></tr>
	<tr><td>*your text*</td><td class="arrow">?</td><td><strong>your text</strong></td></tr>
	<tr><td>%{color:red}hello%</td><td class="arrow">?</td><td><span style="color: red;">hello</span></td></tr>
	<tr><td>{background:#ddd}. Gray</td><td class="arrow">?</td><td><span style="background: #ddd">Gray</span></td></tr>
	<tr><td> * Bulleted list<br /> * Second item</td><td class="arrow">?</td><td>??? Bulleted list<br />??? Second item</td></tr>
	<tr><td> 1. Numbered list<br /> 1. Second item</td><td class="arrow">?</td><td>1. Numbered list<br />2. Second item</td></tr>
	<tr><td>"linkname":URL</td><td class="arrow">?</td><td><a href="URL">linkname</a></td></tr>
	<tr><td>|a|table|row|<br />|b|table|row|</td><td class="arrow">?</td><td>Table</td></tr>
	<tr><td>http://url<br />email@address.com</td><td class="arrow">?</td><td>Auto-linked</td></tr>
	<tr><td>!imageURL!</td><td class="arrow">?</td><td>Image</td></tr>
</table>

Notes on MoinMoin (1.3.1)

• To alter the content of a page template (such as PageEditor.py), edit the copy in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/MoinMoin.

• If ACLs or Groups seem not to be working:

cd /usr/local/wikis
rm */data/cache/*/*
