Dokukiwix is a plugin for Dokuwiki, a powerful file-based Wiki engine. It allows you to generate a static HTML version of your wiki, so that your users can download it and then browse your wiki while being offline.

The name Dokukiwix comes from Dokuwiki, and Kiwix, a XUL-based browser, working on Gnu/Linux, Mac and Windows, developed by the french company Linterweb. It will allow you to add a search engine to your wiki.

The actual features include:

• Support of pictures and other internal media
• Retrieval of external pictures
• Generation of a hierarchical file structure corresponding to the namespaces of your wiki
• Ability to pause/resume the html generation process.
• A simple logging system

The latest version is Dokukiwix 0.4:

• Dokukiwix 0.4

You will also need a special template for your offline version:

• Dokukiwix offline template

You can also grab the older releases:

• Dokukiwix 0.3
• Dokukiwix 0.2
• Dokukiwix 0.1

• Install the plugin with the plugin manager, in the admin section.
• Make sure the directory /lib/plugins/dokukiwix/archive is writable by the webserver.
• Get the "offline" template, and unzip it in /lib/tpl/
• In inc/common.php:

  AFTER:
  function wl($id='',$more='',$abs=false,$sep='&'){
    global $conf;
  ADD:
    if (defined("dokukiwix_plugin")) return dokukiwix_wl($id, $more, $abs, $sep);
  
  AFTER:
  function ml($id='',$more='',$direct=true,$sep='&'){
    global $conf;
  ADD:
    if (defined("dokukiwix_plugin")) return dokukiwix_ml($id,$more,$direct, $sep);
  

• Check the settings of your PHP: if you have huge pages or pages that link to several big external pictures, you may need to raise the timeout limit or the maximal memory allowed.
