Downloading / Installing

Requirements

Any PHP enabled webserver will do. You need to make sure that it has session support though, as they are used to allow users to log in. If your php server does not have session support, you will know about it quite quickly since it won't remember you logging in.

Information about configuring PHP sessions can be found here: https://php.net/manual/en/session.installation.php

More detailed information about installing Pepperminty Wiki can be found on this repository's wiki.

Quick Installation

All you need to do is download index.php in this repository and put it in a folder on your web server. You need to make sure that PHP can write to that folder though. However, you can deny write access to the file itself since there is no automatic updating function built in yet.

If you prefer, you can clone this repository or use the "Download Zip" button to the right.

Updating

1. Rename your old index.php to index.old.php temporarily
2. Download the new version
3. Open both files for editing
4. Copy your settings over the new settings (making sure that you don't delete any new settings - it will be obvious if you do this if you have error reporting enabled)

Breaking Changes

From time to time breaking changes will be made. By this I mean additions and / or deletions to the settings that can be found at the top of your wiki's index.php. They will be listed here so you can manually update your settings if required.

• (no breaking changes have been made yet)

Building

Pepperminty Wiki uses a simple PHP based build script. If you want to run this script yourself (for whatever reason), follow these instructions:

1. Clone this repository
2. Delete index.php.
3. Run php build.php.

Configuring

To configure it, open your downloaded copy of index.php in your favourite editor - the settings can be configured at the top of the file. There are extensive comments that explain what each option does. Make sure that you change the allowed usernames and passwords! If you need more help, don't hesitate to open an issue on this repository or contact me.

Themes (aka strings of CSS)

Wanted: Themes! If you have a cool theme, simply open an issue on the bug tracker in this repository to share your theme. If you don't have a github account, no problem! Simply email me with your code instead.

A theme gallery can be found here: Theme Gallery

Default

This is the default theme Pepperminty Wiki currently comes with.

body { font-family: sans-serif; color: #333333; background: #f3f3f3; }
label { display: inline-block; min-width: 10rem; }
textarea[name=content] { display: block; width: 100%; height: 35rem; }
/*input[name=page] { width: 16rem; }*/
nav { position: absolute; top: 5px; right: 5px; }
th { text-align: left; }
.sitename { text-align: center; font-size: 2.5rem; color: #222222; }
.footerdivider { margin-top: 4rem; }

Simple Blue

A quick blue theme I put together to give people a choice of more than just one theme.

body { font-family: sans-serif; color: #3765ff; background: #cee6ff; }
label { display: inline-block; min-width: 10rem; }
a:active { color: #95aeff; }
textarea[name=content] { display: block; width: 100%; height: 35rem; }
input:not([type=button]):not([type=submit]), textarea { padding: 5px 8px; color: #2c49c6; background: rgba(42, 146, 255, 0.57); border: 0; border-radius: 5px; }
input[type=submit], input[type=button], button { margin-top: 8px; padding: 5px 8px; }
::-webkit-input-placeholder { color: #2c49c6; }
nav { position: absolute; top: 5px; right: 5px; }
nav input { width: 15.2rem; }
th { text-align: left; }
.sitename { text-align: center; font-size: 2.5rem; color: #385fe2; }
.footerdivider { margin-top: 4rem; }

Microsoft-esque

Another quick theme based on the microsoft website.

body { font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; color: black; background: white; padding: 5px; }
h1 { margin-top: 1.5em; }
label { display: inline-block; min-width: 10rem; }
textarea[name=content] { display: block; width: 100%; height: 35rem; }
nav { position: fixed; top: 0; left: 0; right: 0; padding: 10px 10px; background: #0073c6; color: white; }
nav a { color: white; font-weight: bold; transition: all 0.25s; }
nav a:active { color: #eeeeee; }
input { border: 2px solid #d2d2d2; padding: 5px; font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; }
input[type=search] { width: 18rem; }
button, input[type=submit] { margin: 10px 2px; cursor: pointer; transition: all 0.25s; }
button:active, input[type=submit]:active { background: #c2c2c2; }
th { text-align: left; }
.sitename { text-align: center; font-size: 2.5rem; }
.footerdivider { margin-top: 4rem; }

Todo

• Add page history somehow
• Allow users to change their passwords
• Add auto updating system that doesn't wipe your settings
• Make links to non existant pages red
• Make this thing module based so we can have extensions (this also helps to organise the code!)
  • Convert settings to array / object
  • Move each action to it's own function
• .... (open an issue if you have any suggestions!)
