| 14 | === Introduction === |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Simple plugin designed to help you maintain a "journal" of your daily |
| 17 | activities with wiki pages. The main idea is to have a main navigation |
| 18 | link named ''`MyPage`'' which takes you to your "page of the day", in |
| 19 | edit mode. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | If that page doesn't exist already, it will be filled with the content |
| 22 | of a !PageTemplates, but with a twist: some tokens will be |
| 23 | automatically replaced, in particular for giving you the possibility |
| 24 | to include or refer to the previous page of the day... |
| 25 | |
| 26 | The intended use is to have a quick but effective way to track the |
| 27 | ongoing activities of the day in the form of free wiki markup, and to |
| 28 | easily keep a continuity with the activity that occurred the days |
| 29 | before. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | Works best with the TH:WikiExtrasPlugin and its !WikiPhrases... |
| 32 | |
| 33 | === Detailed mode of operation === |
| 34 | |
| 35 | When clicking on a ''`MyPage`'' top-level navigation link, one will |
| 36 | return to the edit preview mode of the "page of the day", which is a |
| 37 | normal wiki page of the form `/wiki/<userid>/<iso8601-date>`. If that |
| 38 | page doesn't yet exist, it will be created, eventually using an |
| 39 | appropriate page template (`PageTemplates/MyPage/<userid>` or |
| 40 | `PageTemplates/MyPage` - see !PageTemplates). |
| 41 | |
| 42 | (Technically, this is achieved by redirecting the `/mypage` URL to the |
| 43 | actual page of the day with `?action=edit`) |
| 44 | |
| 45 | Moreover those templates can contain some special markup which will |
| 46 | get replaced by dynamic content when inserted as the initial content |
| 47 | of the page of the day. The macro `[[MyPageHelp]]` lists the available |
| 48 | tokens: ![[MyPageHelp]] |
| 49 | |
| 50 | This replacement will only happen when creating the ''page of the |
| 51 | day''. If one wants to create such pages as normal wiki pages, retro- |
| 52 | or pro-actively, the page will start empty or using the normal |
| 53 | !PageTemplates filling mechanism, i.e. no expansion of these tokens |
| 54 | will take place. |
