Hi-
It''s Daryl here, and I have indeed started working on instiki. My
first
task was bug #270, "Export Errors", in which instiki, when *not*
running via
Webrick blows up when you click on the "Export" link on the front
page.
Here is what I have found:
The offending line is in export.rhtml, here it is:
<% if OPTIONS[:pdflatex] && @web.markup == :textile %>
The problem is that "OPTIONS" is set in script/server, so that if you
start
instiki using anything other than webrick you get an error. The OPTIONS are
the command-line options passed to Webrick on start. I use Mongrel, so I
was seeing the error myself.
I could try to fix it by getting the command-line options from the other
servers (don''t know how yet), or just removing the condition, but I
would
propose that instead of being a command line option, the setting of whether
or not you support output to pdf and/or latex be wiki settings that could be
set via the "Edit Web" page. I guess this could be a web-by-web
setting,
though it seems more like a wiki-wide setting to me.
What do others think?
