Version 35 of Wikit Command Line

Updated 2003-05-08 15:30:56

Wikit (and sdx for that matter) has, in the past 2+ years, evolved even farther.

Some of the command line arguments available at this time are:

  • -readonly - wikit is browse only
  • -images - see Adding images to local mode wikis for details
  • -update http://mini.net/tclhist - fetch a newer version of the tclers' wikit.tkd
  • -httpd <portnumber> - start the wikit internal httpd on the specified port , enabling one to run a wiki web server with just tclkit and wikit.
  • -nolock - don't use a lock file, in some cases useful in combination with -readonly

'October 2002 - Is the current Tcler's wiki the new, post-VFS, starkit version?

Yes - it's the same Starkit that you can download from http://www.equi4.com/pub/sk/wikit.kit - stevel


See wikitool http://www.equi4.com/pub/sk/wikitool.tcl for a tool to list and extract the contents of the Tcl'ers Wiki.


Obsolete data on the remainder of this page has been removed (11feb03 -jcw)

If you have an old pre-VFS or pre-starkit version of wikit.tkd, consider upgrading. It is a matter of getting a new tclkit, wikit.kit, and using your wikit.tkd file as datafile. All necessary conversion will be done automatically when access with the new wikit code, using Metakit's on-the-fly file restructuring.


Can't seem to get my Wiki into write/edit mode

Hi, just downloaded the lastest tclkit, wikit and wikit.tkd. It all runs beautifully and I get the pages up fine. But when I chmod the wikit.tkd to allow world writes it doesnt seem to make a difference and the 'Edit' button doesnt appear any of the pages.

my command lines:

wikit.kit -httpd 8000 (copied wikit.kit to /usr/bin)

./wikit.kit -httpd 8000 (locally chmod'd 777 copy of wikit.kit, wikit.tkd was 777 chmod'd aswell)

./wikit.kit test.tkd -httpd 8000 (test.tkd was chmod'd 777)

I'm on a vanilla suse 8.0 linux installation, have tried it as a regular user on 8000 and as root on 80 in and outside of home directories. In all cases it runs fine but I never get the 'Edit' button. I have tried making both wikit.kit and wikit.tkd world writtable with no effect. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Have a look at How to grow your own Wiki, "-httpd" does not support editing, right now -jcw
