~/bin/ftpup
umoin

cd ~/MoinCMS/localhost/mywiki/
ftp -in < ~/bin/ftpcmds yourwebhost.com 21

user username password
cd public_html/
lcd ~/MoinCMS/localhost/mywiki
put index.html
put MoinCMS.html
put VMware.html
put FreeBSD.html
put RB.html
dir
quit

Lock/Unlock MoinMoin Editing

Two commands to manage CMS editing, umoin and lmoin:

Unlock MoinMoin for editing

 sudo cp /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MoinMoin/theme/org-__init__.py /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MoinMoin/theme/__init__.py

MoinMoin Installation Notes

Installed from ports:

#cd /usr/ports/www/moinmoin
#make install
#make MOINTYPE=FCGI MOINDEST=/usr/local/www/wiki instance

Required MoinMoin Changes

org-modern.py is obviously just the orignal modern.py file.

The diff between new-modern.py and modern.py is:

# diff /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MoinMoin/theme/new-modern.py /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/MoinMoin/theme/modern.py

The diff between new-__init__.py and __init__.py is:

Then use wget --follow-tags=a,link -E -k -r -p http://localhost/mywiki/ to make copy of the wiki (which will be made up of just standard html pages). Then upload wget'ed files to the web host! (see Upload Scripts above for a scripted method.)

Using <<Include()>> and <<MiniPage()>> to manage content

These are very useful to make flexible page layouts. An example of centering MoinMoin content:

||<tablewidth="100%"style="border-style: hidden; text-align: center;"> <<Include(MainC1)>>||

Another example of how the main page of this site is constructed:

= Mark Duller's Space =
||<tablewidth="100%" tablestyle="text-align: left;"style="vertical-align: top;"><<Include(MainC1_blog1)>> ||<30% style="vertical-align: top;"><<Include(MainC1_contents)>>||

Much more useful info on Include at: http://moinmo.in/HelpOnMacros/Include

As table syntax cannot contain new lines, several wiki markup do not work. <<MiniPage()>> allows one to add MoinMoin markup in a table:

||<tablewidth="50%"style="text-align: center;"> <<MiniPage(-----\n = heading 1 = \n )>>||
