Hi,
Resetting the "all pages" off in local wiki, I have just noticed that it is possible to say with regex only namespaces
or pages where you want to have DISCUSSION. It could be shorter to authorize than to forbid
in conf/local.php :
for all pages when checked (on line)
$conf['plugin']['discussion']['automatic'] = 1;
for all pages when checked except some namespaces/pagenames (two lines)
[m]$conf['plugin']['discussion']['automatic'] = 1;
$conf['plugin']['discussion']['excluded_ns'] = '(foo|bar:baz|baz)'; [/m]
for no pages at all but with a regex to authorize (one line)
$conf['plugin']['discussion']['excluded_ns'] = '(foo|baz|bar:foo)';
I also noticed that pages have discussion on, except
start page.
I you have a start page by namespaces, it could be also a solution to put indexmenu in the start page.
To end with this, it is probably possible to give a pattern to the regex to get all pages e.g finishing by
_talk but never played with this in DokuWiki.
