username auto clear
For use with public workstations the username entered in "Preferences" should be cleared automatically when the browser session ends (this is what a temporary cookie does). A checkbox below the username:
 delete username at the end of the browser session
Feature suggested by: MilkMiruku. [Nov 10, 2003]
Ok, this feature has changed slightly when implemented:
- delete data at the end of the browser session
This should express clearer that all data connected to the cookie (not only the username) is deleted. -- HelmutLeitner [Dez 1, 2003]
Logout
How about a 'logout' option for admins on the preferences page? -- MilkMiruku
- A useful thing. May be useful for anyone who is logged in. Currently you have to end the browser (close all windows) to get the same effect. -- HelmutLeitner
- Now, the function "action=logout" is available and the preferences contain a "logout" link (if you did a login). -- HelmutLeitner [Dez 1, 2003]
Amazon ASIN
How about adding AISN functionability along side ISBN? i.e., ASIN 0198780419 would give  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0198780419/ -- MilkMiruku
- How is this different from a normal
 ISBN 0198780419 link?
Oh, AISN numbers seems to work with the ISBN InterWikiLink. Ah well, thanks anyway  -- MilkMiruku
PNG file upload
Allow uploading of .png files -- MilkMiruku
- Done. Please test it. -- HelmutLeitner [Dez 23, 2003]
How about letting wiki admins set custom InterWikiLinks for their own wiki? I'd like to add a few things including linking to searches on google.com and to users' info pages livejournal.com. -- MilkMiruku
- This is available. For examples look at the "interweb"-assigments in
 FractalWiki:FR/Context. -- HelmutLeitner
Cool, thanks -- MilkMiruku
Referer Information Page
How about a referers page for admins, so they can tell who's linking to their pages? -- MilkMiruku
- This feature is already available. See ActionReferer. -- HelmutLeitner
Cool, thanks very much =) -- MilkMiruku
File rename in upload directory
How about a file rename function for the upload section? -- MilkMiruku
- Do you mean a "rename during upload" or a "rename of files in the upload directory"? -- HelmutLeitner
A "rename of files in the upload directory" -- MilkMiruku
- This would run the risk of breaking existing links to the file. -- HelmutLeitner
Might it be an idea to have ProWiki search all the pages for any references to the file, and warn the admin of those pages before letting them rename the file? -- MilkMiruku
- Difficult to impossible, because any wiki or even other websites may reference the file. -- HelmutLeitner
Regardless of the risks, I feel that the ability to rename a file that is stored on a remote server is a basic necessity to perform some of the more simple tasks that are required in life. Plus there's the fact that whatever the method an admin uses to rename a file; the original file path is not going to be valid anyway. -- MilkMiruku
- I think you are right, I'll add this feature as soon as possible. -- HelmutLeitner
- UploadedFileRename is now available. Please note the restrictions. -- HelmutLeitner (Jan 4, 2004)
What about letting admins set something in Context page that would make their wiki linking system ignore certain CamelCase words (i.e., don't make them into a link or don't put a question mark beside them)? There are certain company, product and user names that are in the CamelCase format, i.e., LiveJournal, BlogIM, BartVB, etc, that constantly set off a wiki's linking system when the admin has no intention of creating a page under that name. -- MilkMiruku
- You can use the existing feature LinkSuppress. -- HelmutLeitner
How about being able to filter RecentChanges so that it shows a certain selection, i.e, something like http://prowiki.org/user/milk/wiki.cgi?browse=RecentChanges&filter=Jabber/*Review* -- MilkMiruku
- That's a good idea, especially because it could be coupled with filtering or selecting categories or languages (in a multilingual system). -- HelmutLeitner
