patching the default wiki template?
Added by markus schulte over 11 years ago
hi there,
we are on redmine 2.2 which is why we can not use the gsc-template module. we don't need its template switching mechanics anyways.
it would just be nice if we would not have to enter the same stuff, namely {{>toc}} and some other macros, whenever we create a new page.
i thought the best way to achieve this is to patch the default template?
but is there a default template? i can't find it.
any other approaches?
cheers,
/markus

Create templates as text files and copy-paste them after creating new wiki page.

hmm... not that i dislike pragmatic approaches in anyway.
i'd prefer to try this [[http://www.redmine.org/issues/3806]] but i need to preserve upgradability and never wrote a redmine plugin.

I agree this is pragmatic approach and I don't like it too, but there is no other solution by now.

if i just knew how to overwrite the function "initial_page_content(page)" which is defined in "lib/redmine/wiki_formatting/textile/helper.rb":
module Redmine
module WikiFormatting
module Textile
module Helper
def wikitoolbar_for(field_id)
...
def initial_page_content(page)
...
if i just knew that, i think i could make an init.rb file doing the trick.

ruby must be a beautiful language if one would only know it.
this really did the trick for me:
1. follow the first two steps of this tutorial: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Plugin_Tutorial until you have a populated redmine_wiki_template directory.
2. edit init.rb like this:
Redmine::Plugin.register :redmine_wiki_template do name 'Redmine Wiki Template plugin' author 'markus' description 'This adds a Template to the Wiki' version '0.0.1' url 'http://example.com/path/to/plugin' author_url 'http://example.com/about' end module Redmine module WikiFormatting module Textile module Helper alias_method :orig_initial_page_content, :initial_page_content def initial_page_content(page) "{{>toc}}\nh1. #{@page.pretty_title}" end end end end end
it should be possible to dump all these other files but i don't dare. i don't want to put my success on danger :-) /m
