This page lists out new functions that projects would find useful on the site. For an idea of what is possible see the PmWiki CookBook. The purpose of this page is discussion of ideas and solutions. Project managers will need to follow up directly with John Rankin if they want any of these implemented. Ability to shift pages between groupsOnce we move to group based security, occasions will arise where some pages within a group need different security to the group default. In some cases it will be easier to shift these pages into a different group than manage security exceptions on a page by page basis. The current rename function appears to only work within a group. Tweaking it to accept page names in the form DifGroup.PageName that result in the page appearing in a different group, with the redirection trail put in place, would be one solution. This would give control of page movements to the page owner/author. John has enhanced (but not implemented) the rename script to allow pages to be moved between groups. It gives you a pick list of groups from which to choose. However, this raises a number of questions: should page references be amended automatically, so they point back to the original group; should I be allowed to move a page into a new group if I don’t know the edit password; should I be able to move a page into a new group?
Another solution may be to shift the pages on the server from one group folder to another. This is very administrator dependent - but may be an OK short term solution until we know the size of the issue. However, it wouldn’t create the redirect paths - so there may be broken links to deal with. Additional functionality for pdf2yousubstituting hi resolution graphics in documents customisable options (already under development) further tweaking of pagination - e.g to keep tables together on one page Managing graphicsenabling sized views of graphic supported in 0.6.0 and above
