Open
- Ability to create "sections" to allow a "backlinks" style navigation bar.
An example of this could be:
Home > Countries > Europe
This would allow for pages to have a more defined structure relating them together. [SimonKnight]
- Syntax highlighting for Java codesnippets. [MarkHissinkMuller]
- Table of contents for a particular page (in Wacko {{toc}}) [MarkHissinkMuller]
- Support for various table implementations. [MarkHissinkMuller]
Assigned or In Progress
- Ability to add users to "groups" which could then be used in simplifying ACLs and in providing an index page of members of that group. [SimonKnight] and [MarkHissinkMuller]
- this is already solved by a cute wakka-modification. i'll check it with the author if we can use it with some slight improvements. assigned to DreckFehler
- Page refactoring (ability to rename a page and have all links to that page updated with the new name; maybe dangerous). [MarkHissinkMuller]
- huh! there's a lot to do without link adjustment (which isn't done with a single sql-query). mindWiki has instead the ability to store a special redirector under the old pagename and this way it keeps the links working. but this feature should be handled with care! assigned to DreckFehler
- Page watching, notification when a page has changed. [MarkHissinkMuller]
- this too is addressed in a wakka-mod (i don't remember who is responsible for it) but it's no big deal to do it from scratch. assigned to Dreckfehler
- where has the lovely "don't cache" checkbox in the editor gone. it's not bad to flag minor changes in some way like this. [DreckFehler]
- Yes. This was a lovely distraction for me for a few months that derailed the development of Wikka.... but it still has a fond place in my heart, and will be coming back at some point. Work in progress by JsnX
- also an old feature: convert four spaces to tabs while saving because opera and firefox don't support tabs in html forms
- It's coincidental that you mention this, because I just made some tweaks in this area today. Converting four spaces to tabs has always been in Wikka--it just hasn't been advertised. It was located in the Edit Handler, but I've moved it to the wakka formatter. Let me know if you have any issues with this feature. -- JsnX
- Filtered searching (pages which contain "foo" but do not contain "bar") [MarkHissinkMuller]
- in wakka.php change ."pages where latest = 'Y' and match(tag, body) against('".mysql_escape_string($phrase)."') with ."pages where latest = 'Y' and match(tag, body) against('".mysql_escape_string($phrase)."' IN BOOLEAN MODE)
- from the MySQL manual:
The following examples demonstrate some search strings that use boolean full-text operators: 'apple banana' Find rows that contain at least one of the two words. '+apple +juice' Find rows that contain both words. '+apple macintosh' Find rows that contain the word ``apple'', but rank rows higher if they also contain ``macintosh''. '+apple -macintosh' Find rows that contain the word ``apple'' but not ``macintosh''. '+apple +(>turnover <strudel)' Find rows that contain the words ``apple'' and ``turnover'', or ``apple'' and ``strudel'' (in any order), but rank ``apple turnover'' higher than '``apple strudel''. ''apple*' Find rows that contain words such as ``apple'', ``apples'', ``applesauce'', or ``applet''. ''"some words"' Find rows that contain the exact phrase ``some words'' (for example, rows that contain ``some words of wisdom'' but not ``some noise words''). Note that the `"' characters that surround the phrase are operator characters that delimit the phrase. They are not the quotes that surround the search string itself.

For Future Long-term Consideration
- Multilanguage, WikkaInternationalization, HandlingUTF8
- Ability to select which languages are loaded on initial setup of database. [MarkHissinkMuller]
More details still to come....
