PmWiki /
Page-specific Variables
authors (intermediate)
This page describes the "variables" that are associated with pages. Page variables have the form
{$variable} , and can be used in page markup or in certain formatting strings in PmWiki. For example, the markup "{$Group} " renders in this page as "PmWiki".
Note that these variables do not necessarily exist in the PHP code, because they have to be determined for a specific page. (However, they are usable in FmtPageName strings.)
There is also the form {pagename$variable} , which returns the value of the variable for another page. For example, "{MarkupMasterIndex$Title} " displays as "Markup Master Index".
Default page variablesThe page variables defined for PmWiki are:{$Group} - page's group name, as in "PmWiki"
{$Groupspaced} - spaced group name, as in "Pm Wiki"
{$DefaultGroup} - default group name, as in "Main"
{$SiteGroup} - default group name for e.g. RecentChanges, as in "Site"
{$Name} - page name, as in "PageVariables"
{$Namespaced} - spaced page name, as in "Page Variables"
{$DefaultName} - name of default page, as in "HomePage"
{$FullName} - page's full name, as in "PmWiki.PageVariables"
{$Title} - page title (may differ from Name), as in "Page-specific Variables"
{$Titlespaced} - title/spaced page name, as in "Page-specific Variables"
{$Description} - page's description from the (:description:) markup, as in "Documentation for "variables" that are associated with pages."
{$LastModified} - date page was edited, as in "June 23, 2006, at 06:02 PM"
{$LastModifiedBy} - page's last editor, as in "Pico"
{$LastModifiedHost} - IP of page's last editor, as in "12.33.45.37"
{$LastModifiedSummary} - Summary from last edit, as in "Supplied "as in" example for {$ScriptUrl} "
Note: Enclose {$LastModifiedSummary} with [= and =] to avoid having PmWiki process any markup that may be contained in the summary.
{$PageUrl} - page's url, as in "http://www.ubbdf.fr/pmwiki/PmWiki/PageVariables"
{$Action} - page's url action argument, as in "browse"
{$Author} - the name of the person currently interacting with the site, as in ""
{$AuthId} - current authenticated id, as in "" Please note the lower case 'd'. {$AuthID} returns nothing
{$Version} - PmWiki version, as in "pmwiki-2.1.27"
{$VersionNum} - The internal version number, as in "2001027"
{$ScriptUrl} - The url to the pmwiki script, as in "http://www.ubbdf.fr/pmwiki"
Custom page variablesYou may add custom page variables as a local customization. In a local configuration file or a recipe script, use the variable$FmtPV :
$FmtPV['$VarName'] = "'variable definition'"; $FmtPV['$CurrentSkin'] = '$GLOBALS["Skin"]'; {$CurrentSkin} (also for Conditional markup). It's necessary to use the single quotes nested inside double-quotes as shown above (preferred) or a double-quoted string nested inside single-quotes like '"this"' .
Making a {$WikiTitle} markup doesn't quite follow the formula above. Instead you need to use
$FmtPV['$WikiTitle'] = '$GLOBALS["WikiTitle"]'; See also
