Layout Variables

<< BasicVariables | PmWiki.Variables | PathVariables? >>

PHP variable substitutions in the skin template are all managed by the FmtPageName() function from pmwiki.php. Pmwiki variable substitutions available on pages are managed by the {$var} substitutions from stdmarkup.php or superceded in local/config files. (DocumentationToDo)

$WikiTitle
A variable which contains the Wiki title as displayed by the browser

$HTMLStylesFmt
An array of CSS statements to be included in the page's output along with other HTML headers. This array provides an easy place for scripts to add custom CSS statements.

$HTMLHeaderFmt
An array of HTML text to be included in the page's <head> section. This array provides an easy place for scripts to add custom HTML headers.

$RecentChangesFmt
An array specifying the format of the RecentChanges? listing.

The format can be specified in your config.php using the following: 

     $RecentChangesFmt = array(
       'Main.AllRecentChanges' => 
       '* [[$Group.$Name]]  . . . $CurrentTime by $AuthorLink',
       '$Group.RecentChanges' =>
       '* [[$Group/$Name]]  . . . $CurrentTime by $AuthorLink');

Note that changes made to the format will only affect new edits. In other words, you will need to edit a page for your new format to be visible. Note also that you need to have two spaces between the page name and the other information about the edit.

$RCLinesMax
The maximum number of lines to be stored in RecentChanges? pages. The default is zero, meaning "no limit". 
        $RCLinesMax = 1000;       # maintain at most 1000 recent changes

$PageRedirectFmt
The text to be used when a page is redirected via the (:redirect:) markup. 
        
        $PageRedirectFmt = '<p><i>redirected from $FullName</p>';
        $PageRedirectFmt = '';

$WikiStyle
An array which contains the predefined WikiStyles which can be used on a textpage.
See: PmWiki.CustomWikiStyles

$MaxIncludes
Controls the number of times that pages can be included via the (:include:) and other directives, used to control recursion and otherwise pose a sanity check on page contents. $MaxIncludes defaults to 50, but can be set to any value by the wiki administrator. 
        $MaxIncludes = 50;            # default
        $MaxIncludes = 1000;          # allow lots of includes
        $MaxIncludes = 0;             # turn off includes

$Skin
Points to the directory of an own or different layout skin.

$SkinDirUrl
Set by scripts/skins.php to be the base url of the current skin's directory (i.e., within a 'pub/skins/' directory). This variable is typically used inside of a skin .tmpl file to provide access to .css files and graphic images associated with the skin.

$EnablePathInfo
Changes the handling of the page URL. When set to 1 page URL will be ...wiki.php/Main/Main, when set to 0 (default) it will be ...wiki.php?n=Main.Main.
