Install the plugin using the Plugin Manager and the download URL above, which points to latest version of the plugin. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

This plugin will let you delete the history of your wiki directly from the admin interface. No need to clean up directories with old versions and changelogs manually.

It is meant for a very specific use case: deleting all traces of preparatory work before the wiki is launched and opened to users.

There is no way to restore the history after you click the Delete all history files button in the admin interface. Make sure you have a backup handy just in case.

Thank you, this is perfect for my needs. –lenehey

I noticed a minor bug that affects DokuWikis that have moved the “./data” directory out from the usual spot. Just to be clear - the “savedir” config variable is allowed to be relative (“./data”), or absolute (“/usr/local/www/dokuwiki-data”). But the code in the helper.php file of this plugin assumes that the data directory is relative.

Anyway, I made the following minor tweaks and got it working on my system:

diff helper.php helper.php-ORIG 
18,19c18,19
<             'pages' => $conf['savedir'] . '/attic',
<             'media' => $conf['savedir'] . '/media_attic',
---
>             'pages' => DOKU_INC . $conf['savedir'] . '/attic',
>             'media' => DOKU_INC . $conf['savedir'] . '/media_attic',
75c75
<         $path = $conf['savedir'] . '/' . $metaDir;
---
>         $path = DOKU_INC . $conf['savedir'] . '/' . $metaDir;

You can see what I mean, this code assumes that the $conf['savedir'] variable is relative, and hence needs the DOKU_INC path prepended. But savedir isn't necessarily relative.

A proper solution would probably be to insert a test, something like this

 if( str_starts_with($conf['savedir'], './') ) ...

Anyway, terrific plugin! Exactly what I needed!! Thanks! - Anonymous
