Additions:
~& I had to fix this - probably written for a version that did not have an actions folder. Here is my fix: - CharlotteFischer
include($this->config['action_path']."/hidepage.php");
include($this->config['action_path']."/adminerasehistory.php");

====Simple Admin Control Panel====
For various reasons, administrators might need to remove content from the wiki in a (semi)permanent fashion (this is more and more true as legal culpability for offensive statements, etc. is extended....and because of this an administrator may not want to completely remove the content (so the "owner" is still identifiable), but make it so that it at least appears to no longer exist). Below is code for what is essentially a //simple// administrator control panel (appearing under the footer) that allows the administrator to **"Hide a page"** (it changes the "Y" to an "H" in the _pages database table (if the ACLS table for "Read" is set to //null// then only the administrator can re-create the page....at least that's how it tested out on my server), **"Erase the History"** of a page, or **"Delete a Page"**. It provides a small table under the footer with these features in it at the bottom of the page. An action is included at the bottom of this page that will allow the admin to list the hidden pages and restore them if desired.
http://gmbowen.educ.unb.ca/wikitest/adminpanel.jpg
All the changes must be implemented for the features to work.

====Hide Page Code====

Whenever the "Hide Page" button is clicked it changes the field "latest" for that page from "Y" to "H" and it therefore does not appear. If the ACLS permissions are set to //null// before "Hide Page" is clicked then only the admin can re-create the page.

1. The following code must be saved as ##hidepage.php## and the file placed in the actions directory
%%(php)
<? // code developed by GMBowen to "hide" a given page (by changing "latest" to "H" in _pages table)
if ($this->IsAdmin())
{
echo '<table><tr><td><form action="" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="hidepage" value="Hide Page"></td></table></form>';
echo "<small>* To <strong>hide</strong> page, <strong>set</strong> ACLS ''Read'' to <strong><i>null</i></strong> & click on Hide button above...</small><BR>";
echo "<small>* Note that unless the ACLS is set to null, then anybody with Read permission can re-create the page.</small>";
}
if ($_POST['hidepage'] && $this->IsAdmin())
{
$thispage=$this->GetPageTag();
//$sql = "DELETE FROM ".$this->config["table_prefix"]."pages WHERE tag='$thispage' AND latest='N'";
$sql = "UPDATE ".$this->config['table_prefix']."pages SET latest='H' WHERE tag='$thispage' AND latest='Y'";
mysql_query($sql) or die("Unable to process query: " . mysql_error());
$url = $this->config['base_url'];
$this->redirect($url."HomePage");
} ?>
%%
2. The database table (wakka?)_pages must be changed. The field "latest" must be edited so that rather than being ##enum('Y', 'N')## it now reads ##enum('Y', 'N', 'H')##

====Erase History Code====
Sometimes it can be useful for the administrator to erase the history of a page.

''Perhaps add code so there is one history page that shows "Previous history of this page removed by Administrator"??'' --Mike

The following code must be saved as ##adminerasehistory.php## and the file placed in the actions directory....
%%(php)
<?
// code developed by GMBowen & JGoguen to allow admins to erase history on a given page
if ($this->IsAdmin())
{
echo '<table><tr><td><form action="" method="post">
<input type="submit" name="erasehistory" value="Erase History"></td></table> <br /></form>';
}
if ($_POST['erasehistory'] && $this->IsAdmin())
{
$thispage=$this->GetPageTag();
$sql = "DELETE FROM ".$this->config["table_prefix"]."pages WHERE tag='$thispage' AND latest='N'";
mysql_query($sql) or die("Unable to process query: " . mysql_error());
}
elseif ($_POST['erasehistory'] && !$this->IsAdmin())
{
echo "<i>History can only be erased by an administrator.</i>";
}
?>
%%
====Modification of footer.php code====
The following code was added at the end of the footer.php file (just after the last "?>")......it includes code to "delete" a page. (And I know this is easy to do just on the URL line....but I use frames (Ya, I know, bad idea) and so sometimes the URL bar isn't visible....and that's deliberate eh?....so this addition solves the problem for me.)

%%(php)
<? if ($this->IsAdmin())
{
echo "<table border=1><tr><td width=250>";
include("hidepage.php");
echo "</p></td><td valign=top>";
include("adminerasehistory.php");
?>
</td><td valign=top>
[<A HREF="<? echo $this->GetConfigValue("base_url").$this->GetPageTag()."/delete"; ?>"><strong>Delete Page</strong></A>]</td></tr></table>
<? } ?>
%%

====View Hidden Pages Action====
This action is designed to work in conjunction with the Simple Admin Control Panel. It allows an administrator to view a list of pages which have been hidden, and restore them if desired. Use it by placing ""{{hiddenpages.php}}"" on a page.

save this code as the file ##hiddenpages.php## in the actions directory...
%%(php)
<?
// code developed by GMBowen for administrators to view a list of hidden pages and restore them if desired

if ($this->IsAdmin())
{
$unhide=$_REQUEST['unhide'];
$unhidename=$_REQUEST['unhidename'];

$this->query("UPDATE ".$this->config['table_prefix']."pages SET latest = 'Y' WHERE tag='$unhidename' AND latest = 'H' ");

$thislink = $this->config["base_url"].$this->MiniHref($method, $tag);

$counta = "0";
$query = "SELECT tag,owner,latest,time FROM ".$this->config['table_prefix']."pages WHERE latest = 'H' ORDER BY id asc";
$result = mysql_query($query);

Whenever the "Hide Page" button is clicked it changes the field "latest" for that page from "Y" to "H" and it therefore does not appear as a page. However, the original page owner can re-create the page (in the various ways possible)....and even then only if the ACLS permissions are set to "Read" equalling "!*" before it is clicked on, otherwise anyone could. If I can figure out how to (perhaps by getting it so "edit"/create page only happens if NOT in the database as a pagename) then I'll make it so that nobody can recreate the page (except for the administrator-only using a "show hidden page" action which will allow recovery by changing latest="H" to latest="Y"....I'll develop this action later).

Additions:
For various reasons, administrators might need to remove content from the wiki in a (semi)permanent fashion (this is more and more true as legal culpability for offensive knowledge is extended....and because of this an administrator may not want to completely remove the content, but make it so that it at least appears to no longer exist). Below is code for what is essentially a //simple// administrator control panel (placed under the footer) that allows the administrator to **"Hide a page"** (it changes the "Y" to an "H" in the _pages database table (if the ACLS table is set to !* then only the page owner can re-create the page....if I could figure out how to get it so that a pagename that was in the database with an "H" couldn't be "re-created" then it'd be perfect...so that rather than giving the message "This page doesn't exist yet. Maybe you want to create it?" it would say "Creation of a page with this name is now blocked by the administrator"....''Ideas or hints anyone??''), **"Erase the History"** of a page, or **"Delete a Page"**. It provides a small table under the footer with these features in it at the bottom of the page.
