This plugin is dead, see the new substitute: stale

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

The only purpose of this plugin is to touch conf/local.php configuration file. This procedure invalidates DokuWiki cache files as described here: caching.

This is useful, for example, to reload CSS, JavaScript files after update, plugin/template installation, tweaking editor toolbar, etc.

The plugin has only one setting: it can be set available only to superusers (the default) or to anyone who has access to admin page (usually superusers and managers).

Plugin was lying around here and there, even as a simple downloadable code block on this page. On 2012/09/16 it was moved to github so this date is its official birthday ¹⁾.

It seems to have a problem under PHP 7.2.19 on Ubuntu. I get the message Warning: Use of undefined constant isadmin - assumed 'isadmin' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in …/lib/plugins/toucher/admin.php on line 36. If I change the line

  if (!$INFO[isadmin]) {
  

to read

  if (!$INFO['isadmin']) {
  

everything works okay.

Any ideas?

Is it worth to include this functionality into core dokuwiki admin/config plugin?

After 10 years of intense use of Toucher plugin, my answer is: a strong YES for thousands of reasons! — florious 2022-01-17 15:04
