Just noticed that my modification of the RedCloth line break causes a
problem with the insertion of images ([[Create picture of.... => /edit/picture of.... ]]
). I
don't know why.<br>

because they may give me ideas !

I have a number of ruby scripts around, for some simple stuff like
address book, diary... and I am trying to integrate them into the wiki.
I am using the wiki as a personal assistant really. (I am not too
bothered by security as I connect through zebedee.) Nothing is really
finished yet. <br>

type="cite">It was something that had not occurred to me, but another
person has
mentioned this as a requirement, so Soks now checks whether a ruby gem
exists and only uses the hard coded path if it is not available. This
is in the cvs. If you can think of a better way of doing relative
paths then please let me know. <br>

I have just done a simple:<br>
<br>
<big><tt><small>CUSTOMSETTINGS = {:root_directory =>
__FILE__.sub(/[^\\\/]+$/,''),</small><br>
</tt></big><br>
and then replace the other hardcoded instance by:<br>
<big><tt><small>banned_titles =
IO.readlines(CUSTOMSETTINGS[:root_directory]+'banned_titles.txt').map {
|title| title.strip} </small></tt></big><br>

However, I am also concerned about why it crashed? What was
the character? I'd be very grateful if you could send me a file that
causes this, as I would like to fix this sort of bug for the next
release. <br>

File attached. It was a page in instiki whose content had been deleted.
It just contained 0x0A. As I said it does not crash the first time
around when there is no revision file associated to it, but the second
time you restart soks, it crashes.<br>
<blockquote cite="mid926ef4f0d29548bafa35cf48ba056e6b@cam.ac.uk"
type="cite">I'm glad you like it, and thank you for your suggestions
and code. I
greatly appreciate them. I'm interested in your pitch, I may change
the wording on ruby-forge to reflect that if you think customisability
is the main advantage.

For me the advantages of Soks are:<br>
1) Full control over your data: stored directly in textile file and
yaml revision. <br>
2) Easy to customise. Being able to integrate your own applications to
it is a big bonus. Everyones needs are different. I like a wiki which
is nice and simple and allow easy customisation.<br>
3) Powerful: upload, Auto linking..<br>
4) Nice appearence.<br>
