1 This patch allows disabling the edit and preferences link in the config file. It is backwards compatible (so peoples edit and preferences links won't suddenly vanish).
3 To disable edit or prefs respectively, add the following to the config file:
12 --- /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/Render.pm.orig 2008-12-23 16:49:00.000000000 +1300
13 +++ /usr/share/perl5/IkiWiki/Render.pm 2008-12-23 16:55:40.000000000 +1300
17 if (length $config{cgiurl}) {
18 - $template->param(editurl => cgiurl(do => "edit", page => $page));
19 - $template->param(prefsurl => cgiurl(do => "prefs"));
20 + $template->param(editurl => cgiurl(do => "edit", page => $page))
21 + if ! defined $config{edit} || (defined $config{edit} && $config{edit} == 1);
22 + $template->param(prefsurl => cgiurl(do => "prefs"))
23 + if ! defined $config{prefs} || (defined $config{prefs} && $config{prefs} == 1);
