Provision of exporting raw wiki syntax page stream

posts: 2

I would like to know if there is an equivalent export of the raw wiki syntax of a page. The Mediawiki system provides this feature which is used by the site www.wikimindmap.org external link to form a mind map of the web page based on the wiki markup. The basic syntax for the Mediawiki system is .../w/index.php?title='.$topic.'&action=raw'. What, if any, is the URL used for the TikiWiki system?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I have also placed this request on the documentation site as I feel this may be a recurring question on this topic.

Have you looked at the Wiki export feature?

If you have permission, you can view the source of any revision of a wiki page from the Last Changes page. The actual URL will be using something like this:

Copy to clipboard
http://YOURDOMAIN/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=PAGENAME&source=VERSION


See the docs, here for details.

Rick,

Thanks for the two options you mention.

Have tried these with some success. However, it appears the server requesting the export (achieved via the php_curl method) needs to be logged in to the Tikiwiki site before it will retrieve and present the raw wiki syntax of the page to the browser. Otherwise you get the html stream with a "permission denied" embedded in it.

Most mediawiki sites do not appear to need this for the .../w/index.php?title='.$topic.'&action=raw' html get to work.

Will keep the forum posted on progress.
