Editing MyPagePlugin

[[PageOutline(2-5,Contents,pullout)]] = Personal page of the day for Trac == Description This plugin enables some convenient facilities for maintaining a "personal journal" in a sub-hierarchy of the TracWiki. It is written for Trac 1.0. This an example of a "!MyPage", showing the embedding of the content of the previous page, itself still embedding part of its previous page: [[Image(MyPage.png, border=2)]] The page `PageTemplates/MyPage` would typically contain something like this: {{{ = $MYPAGE_USER: $MYPAGE_DATE ($MYPAGE_ISODATE) == New Today == Continuing... $MYPAGE_LAST_PAGE_QUOTED {{{#!div class=important //(remove this section in your own [[wiki:/PageTemplates/MyPage/$MYPAGE_USER]] page)// [[MyPageHelp]] }}} }}} Use this as a starting point when creating your //own// template, i.e. `PageTemplates/MyPage/<user>`. For now, the plugin is hosted on GitHub (https://github.com/cboos/trac-mypage-plugin), until trac-hacks supports Git. Excerpt from the README.wiki: ---- === Introduction Simple plugin designed to help you maintain a "journal" of your daily activities with wiki pages. The main idea is to have a main navigation link named ''`MyPage`'' which takes you to your "page of the day", in edit mode. If that page doesn't exist already, it will be filled with the content of a !PageTemplates, but with a twist: some tokens will be automatically replaced, in particular for giving you the possibility to include or refer to the previous page of the day. The intended use is to have a quick but effective way to track the ongoing activities of the day in the form of free wiki markup, and to easily keep a continuity with the activity that occurred the days before. Works best with the TH:WikiExtrasPlugin and its !WikiPhrases. === Detailed mode of operation When clicking on a ''`MyPage`'' top-level navigation link, one will return to the edit preview mode of the "page of the day", which is a normal wiki page of the form `/wiki/<userid>/<iso8601-date>`. If that page doesn't yet exist, it will be created, eventually using an appropriate page template (`PageTemplates/MyPage/<userid>` or `PageTemplates/MyPage` - see !PageTemplates). Technically, this is achieved by redirecting the `/mypage` URL to the actual page of the day with `?action=edit`. Moreover those templates can contain some special markup which will get replaced by dynamic content when inserted as the initial content of the page of the day. The macro `[[MyPageHelp]]` lists the available tokens: ![[MyPageHelp]] This replacement will only happen when creating the ''page of the day''. If one wants to create such pages as normal wiki pages, retro- or pro-actively, the page will start empty or using the normal !PageTemplates filling mechanism, i.e. no expansion of these tokens will take place. ---- == Bugs/Feature Requests Existing bugs and feature requests for MyPagePlugin are [https://github.com/cboos/trac-mypage-plugin/issues here].
