    • Apply template without removing contents?

    Posted by mihu

    When editing a wiki page, if a template is applied, existing contents will be deleted. Is there a way to change it so a new template could be appended without overwriting exsisting contents? This could be helpful in these cases: 1) A user didn't apply a template when creating the page, but later on (or sb else) can easily apply the template to it. 2)Apply multiple templates to a single page.

    Is it relatively easy to hack? Thanks.

    OK, I have a raw hack that kinda works. In tiki_editpage.php chage:
    1. Line 517: (remove the 'preview' check)
    CHAGE:
    if %22templateId%22) && $_REQUEST%22templateId%22 > 0 && !isset($_REQUEST'preview' && !isset($_REQUEST['sa" class="wiki wikinew text-danger tips isset">$_REQUEST%22templateId%22) && $_REQUEST%22templateId%22 > 0 && !isset($_REQUEST'preview' && !isset($_REQUEST'save'
    TO
    if %22templateId%22) && $_REQUEST%22templateId%22 > 0 && !isset($_REQUEST'save'" class="wiki wikinew text-danger tips isset">$_REQUEST%22templateId%22) && $_REQUEST%22templateId%22 > 0 && !isset($_REQUEST'save'

    2. Line 519: (append previous edits)
    CHAGE:
    $_REQUEST%22edit%22 = $template_data%22content%22;
    TO:
    $_REQUEST%22edit%22 = $_REQUEST%22edit%22 . "\n" . $template_data%22content%22;

    It allows template text appended to the end, and you can apply templates multiple times. I just start learning PHP and not familiar with Tiki at all, so I guess it's not a smart hack and might break something else. But it seems to be working on my test site.

    Cheers.
