This document describes the things you have to do with your Tiki server in order to use Moin2Tiki.
Create your Tiki user. It’s in Settings -> Groups. You can have only one user at a time. See Limitations.
The Font Plugin (wikiplugin_font) must be enabled.
The Anchor Name Plugin (wikiplugin_aname) must be enabled.
The List Pages Plugin (wikiplugin_listpages) must be enabled.
The Indentation Plugin (wikiplugin_indent) must be enabled.
If you want syntax highlighting, you need to enable “CodeMirror” in the “Editing and Plugins” control panel.
In Tiki, up to at least version 25.0, the bodies of plugins won’t get searched in the default configuration. This holds for all plugins, even ones which should definitely be searchable, such as the CODE, DIV and FONT plugins. In order to enable search in the bodies of such plugins, it must be explicitly enabled in the Search control panel. Not all plugins have bodies. For the ones without, the searchablility meaningless.
Moin2Tiki uses the following plugins with a body:
code,div,file,font,indent,sub,sup. At least those must be
configured to be searchable. Here’s a more complete list, which also
encompasses some other plugins:
attach,box,center,code,div,file,files,font,footnote,indent,markdown,quote,sort,sub,sup.
To make them searchable, go to the Search control panel (in Tiki 25.0, that’s under “Global Setup”). There’s the “General Settings” tab. Leave “Exclude all plugins” enabled and fill in the list of plugins in the “Except included plugins” setting.
After that, rebuild the search index with the Rebuild Index button.
The Wiki Link Format setting in Tiki must be “Complete”. This means
that as many characters as possible can occur in Tiki page names. This
is still much less than in MoinMoin page names, where all characters
except for / can occur. Search the control panels for “Wiki
Link Format”.
The moin.css style sheet must be installed. Copy it to
the Tiki root directory of the web server. Then change the permissions,
so the web server can access it. For Apache on Ubuntu, you can do it
like follows. Change your Tiki root directory (here “tiki”) as
needed:
sudo cp moin.css /var/www/html/tiki/
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/tiki/moin.cssThen locate the “Custom HTML head content” field. In Tiki 24, it is in the “Wiki” control panel. In Tiki 25, it is in the “Look & Feel” control panel, under “General Settings”. Add this line to the field:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="moin.css">`If you want to place moin.css elsewhere else, change the
path as needed.
Moin2Tiki uses Tiki namespaces as a counterpart for MoinMoin hierarchical page names. This means that the Namespaces feature in Tiki must be enabled. In the “Wiki” control panel, in the “Features” tab, under “Namespaces”, enable “Namespace”.
The default namespace separator in Tiki is “:_:”. This
can be changed. If you want to change it, Moin2Tiki needs to be told
what is to serve as the namespace separator. Use the
--pathsep option (see Invocation. Also see The Namespace Separator
in Overview.
The separator could be changed to ::. Then you might get
problems because :: … :: is also Tiki syntax
for centered text. (MoinMoin doesn’t seem to support centered text.)
Tiki supports changing the ::” text center indicator to
“:::”. See “Center text using ::: instead of ::” in the
“Wiki” control panel. This should always be turned on, when
:: is used as the namespace separator. Therefore, in this
case, Moin2Tiki assumes that it is turned on and regards
::: … ::: as the text center syntax. Because
the text center syntax has no counterpart in MoinMoin, this affects only
the case when ::: is used in MoinMoin text and needs to be
escaped so Tiki doesn’t unintentionally interpret it. In order to handle
this case, Moin2Tiki assumes that the text center tag has been set to
:::, when the path separator has been set to
::. There’s currently no way to turn that off.
moin-import.php
ScriptThe file moin-import.php must be placed in the Tiki root
directory, under the web server’s document root.
If the Tiki root directory is /var/www/html/tiki, this
command does that:
sudo cp moin-import.php /var/www/html/tiki/moin-import.php
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/html/tiki/moin-import.php
