dwBliki installation guide

By ezpdo4php on May 7th, 2005

If you haven’t already, download, install and configure DokuWiki (2005-02-06 or up) and WordPress (tested only on 1.5). Make sure both are working individually.
Here comes the single line hack in the DokuWiki code. This is no longer needed if your DokuWiki version is 2005-05-07 or up. Cd to /path/to/dokuwiki/install. Edit inc/common.php. Replace line 23

session_start();
with

if (!headers_sent()) session_start();

The reason for this change is to suppress the “header has been sent” warning. The change seems harmless to DokuWiki when it runs by itself. Andreas Gohr, the DokuWiki author, has promised to make this change.
Download the latest dwBiliki: .tar.gz or .zip. Extract to the WordPress plugins directory.

$ cd /path/to/wordpress/install
$ cd wp-content/plugins
$ tar xvfz dwbliki.latest.tar.gz
$ unzip dwbliki.latest.zip # (for .zip)
Configure dwBliki. Assume you are still in the WordPress plugins directory. Edit dwbliki/config.php. Follow the instructions in that file. If you want to control the way Wiki namespaces/pages are mapped to WordPress categories, you will need to edit dwbliki/catmap.txt. See instructions in the file.
Point your browser to your WordPress site admin page. Click on menu “Plugins”. After screen refreshed, you should be able to see dwBliki listed as a plugin. Activate it and click “View site”.
If you have configured the DokuWiki path and relative url path correctly (in dwbliki/config.php), after you click “View site” and refresh the WordPress, you should be able to see your Wiki pages in WordPress now.
If you run into problems that you cannot resolve after trying, drop comments to this post.

Acknowledgment

A special word of gratitude is extended to the hardworking DokuWiki and WordPress teams.

Happy bliki’ing!

Hi,

I’ve tried to tweak dwBliki v0.5 to work with DokuWiki 2005-09-22c and WordPress v1.5.2, without success.

I’ve changed lines 112 and 113, to point to inc/lang/ instead of just lang/. I’ve also changed line 98 to load inc/init.php instead of conf/dokuwiki.php.

But now I have always WordPress database error: errors, and I’m lost on how to fix those.

There have been many changes from DokuWiki 2005-05-07 up to now, so that may be the problem.

Can you help me out, please?

Thanks.
ezpdo4php on October 27th, 2005:

sorry straider, haven’t really had time to work on dwBliki lately. noticed some recent ‘big’ changes in dokuwiki. plan to update it to work with latest dokuwiki. hopefully as soon as this weekend. -oak

This install is over my head; is there someone around who can simply help me out?

If so, please use the contact form on my website to reach me.

I followed directions but got ugly database errors when I activated the plugin. I probably got the paths wrong when editing the config files, but I’m confused by that stuff. My dokuwiki works (http://www.macmove.com/mm/dokuwiki/doku.php) but the integration with WordPress doesn’t.

Help?

Poliorcetes on November 12th, 2005:

I have the same problem that seth: Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\dwbliki.0.6rc2\dwbliki.php on line 100 I’m trying to install dwbliki under easyphp in order to repeat the procedure in the apache server. My point is that no matter what path I give to DKWK_ROOT, that error happens. I also don’t know if I have to change the value of dirname(__FILE__) in line 17 of dwbliki/config.php.

Any help would be greatly appreciated since I’m quite commited to bliki concept and yours is the best solution I’ve found

thanks in advance
ezpdo4php on November 12th, 2005:

poliorcetes: it could be just that path you set could not be found. do this: add a debug line after line 17 in dwbliki/config.php,

echo DKWK_ROOT . “\n”;

this will print out the path dwBliki sees. check if this path exists in your file system. you can remove dirname(__FILE__) in case you’d want to give an absolute path.

Wow! Thanks a lot for this plugin. Now I only need a way to get Dokuwiki use Wordpresses user configuration so you don’t have to log in twice and set passwords twice. Any hints?

Common pitfall during installation of dwbliki.

1. When editing dwbliki/config.php, make sure that the paths for DKWK_ROOT and
DKWK_URL_PATH are within ‘/’.
Valiantheart on April 6th, 2006:

Hi,could you give more details as to how the configuration for config.php is done?
Paul Jones on October 2nd, 2006:

I’ve been trying to install dwBliki on my site and am having a few problems. I think I’m entering the paths in the config.php wrong. I have DocuWiki in a folder called ‘wiki’ and Wordpress is in my root.

I’m assuming 1 of the paths is the path that has public_html and such in it, and the other is the path relative to Wordpress (/wiki)

Could anyone post what I should type in to the 2 paths, or at least give me an example?

Thanks
ezpdo4php on October 2nd, 2006:

it may be that the path you set could not be found. to make sure whether you have given the right path, please do this: right after the line

define('DKWK_ROOT', ...);

insert a line to debug

echo DKWK_ROOT . â€œ\nâ€?;

this will print out the path dwBliki sees. check if this path exists in your file system.
koudzuki on November 1st, 2006:

After inserting the echo command to debug and fixing the DKWK_ROOT I still get the error

“Fatal error: Call to undefined function: search() in /my-site/wp-content/plugins/wiki/dwbliki.php on line 249″

Could anyone help with this? Thanks.
ezpdo4php on November 1st, 2006:

@koudzuki: normally that happens when the DukoWiki path is not set properly, but you indicated you have checked that. the function search() in the error is a function in DokuWiki. you can check it exists in your DokuWiki install.
koudzuki on November 4th, 2006:

Thanks for the quick response. I had to move the contents of the dokuwiki folder into the plugins/dwbliki folder.

For some reason when I echoed the path of DKWK_ROOT it wasn’t going back outside the wp-content/plugins/dwbliki folder to /dokuwiki. I tried every relative path and no results.

Anyways, it works now and I hope this helps someone out. Peace.
