===== Description =====

This plugin offers a convenient way to reference files in a Subversion repository. It assumes that the repository is made web-accessible with [[http://websvn.tigris.org/|WebSVN]]. Instead of using absolute links to files in WebSVN this plugin allows you to reference them with a short path relative to a root path. This not only makes the referencing links much shorter but also makes the links less prone to breaking later. -- Stefan Hechenberger

===== Usage =====

**Link** to a particular file in your WebSVN-served subversion repository.
  <websvn repository/path/to/file>

Alternatively the file listing can be **iframe-inlined** by adding a trailing space to the path:
  <websvn repository/path/to/file >

===== Installation =====

Point your Plugin Manager to this url: [[http://file.stefanix.net/websvn-plugin-2007-02-07.zip|websvn-plugin-2007-02-07.zip]]. This automatically downloads, unzips and installs the plugin. Once installed it has to be configured.

**To configure:**
  * edit lib/plugins/websvn/syntax.php
  * set the //$websvn_root_url// to the root of your WebSVN installation
  * enjoy!

===== Comments =====

Works Great, just make sure the first argument in the path is the repository name -> <websvn ReposName/trunk/path/filename>\\ 
--- //???? (??-??-???? ??:??)//

Works indeed very great. Only the fact that the link doesn't have an image to recognize the "WebSVN-link" is a little inconvenient. Therefore I have changed some code of the plugin, and created an small (16x16) image from the WebSVN-logo which is now rendered before the link. The other thing that I found inconvenient is that the link opens in the same window. I changed the target to ''_blank'' to let it open in a new window.\\ 
\\ 
I have added a new "configure-section" to configure the image-url right below the ''CONFIGURE WEBSVN ROOT HERE''-section:
<code php>
//-----------------------------------CONFIGURE WEBSVN-LINK IMAGE HERE---------
global $websvn_image_url;
$websvn_image_url = "http://www.your.domain/path/to/button.png";
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
</code>
After that I have defined the new global variable ''$websvn_image_url'' in the //render function// by adding this:
<code php>
        global $websvn_image_url;
</code>
straight below the line:
<code php>
        global $websvn_root_url;
</code>
in the //render function//.\\ 
\\ 
Finally I changed the following line from:
<code php>
                $renderer->doc .= "<a href=\"".$url."\">$sourcefilename</a>";
</code>
to:
<code php>
                $renderer->doc .= "<img src=".$websvn_image_url."><a href=\"".$url."\" target=_blank>$sourcefilename</a>";
</code>
After those changes images are displayed before the link-name (just like InterWiki-links), and the links opens in a new window. Here's an example image of how my links look rightnow:\\

==== Questions ====

I have been thinking about the way to link dokuwiki/subversion/...
  * Do you plan/Is it possible to allow a syntax like websvn>400 to allow either the display of all files changed (svn log -v) or all differences (svn diff) due to that version? This is usually what I would like to link to from the wiki towards svn.
  * What benefits does this plugin has compared to adding an interwiki.conf with the shortcut to the SVN repository displayed via websvn as well? The main one I see is that the code can be displayed in the page itself... for an external display, the interwiki option seems more straightforward, doesn't it?
  * Regarding websvn, how popular/active is the community? I have installed and am using it... but I am wondering if using apache/mod_svn module would not be a better way to publish my repository (since at the same time it allows modifications as far as I understand)?
  * For SVN fans out there, anyone with the idea to replace the DokuWiki version control (gzipping around) by straightforward svn add/update/commit? It would look natural (and more efficient)... at least as an alternate storage/versioning option...
