I have a large (local) XML file, and want to put a search form for it in my Dokuwiki site. I have this in another CMS, but stumped on how to do this in Dokuwiki - any advice? I've seen the "function" and "bureaucracy" plugins - but it's not clear to me that they'll do the job.
The easiest thing is to put the PHP code on the page -- but I don't think Dokuwiki permits this, and a bespoke plugin for this one job seems like overkill. The code I use on Wolf CMS is
in a gist:, if anyone cares to look. (That code has some junk in itleft over from testing...)
I asked about this in IRC, but it seems quite quiet these days, so hoping there's some help in the forum. Thanks!
[Update: grateful for some advice from @splitbrain on IRC after this posted: encouraged to write own plugin. :) Any other pointers for this non-coder hacker amateur gratefully received!]
