Key shortcuts
SL makes use of HTML shortcut keys. See SL shortcut keys.
More history than RecentChanges
If you like to get more than ~5 days history in RecentChanges, then either
- click on "Page info & history" of RecentChanges and view the older versions, or
- use AdvancedFindPage and search for pages "last modified" "after" e.g. 2003-08-01 and sort the search results by date.
Link to archived pages
You can link to archived pages by first obtaining their version number. To that, click on the title of the page which brings you to the "info & history" page. Look for the desired version in the history table.
Next make a link like
[FindPage version 1| phpwiki:?FindPage:v1]
which produces FindPage version 1
Note the ":v1" part: ':v' indicates that an archive page should be used, '1' denotes the version number.
FullRecentChanges
FullRecentChanges allows you to set filter and modify the sorting order and time frame.
- Make your setting permanent
- copy the URL after the '?' part (should start with '?page=...' and make a bookmark in your UserPreferences: e.g. "BookmarkName | phpwiki:?page=...". Or just make a bookmark in your browser.
- Exclude yourself
- just add your UserName preceded by '-' to the filter, e.g. "-ArnoHollosi"
- Exclude all changes by users with UserNames
- set the filter to "-[". This works because the author is stored as "[UserName] (127.0.0.0)" if the UserName is set (note the square brackets), but as "127.0.0.1" if no UserName is set. Tricky :o)
- Exclude all changes by users without UserNames
- opposite of above, set filter to "[".
