FrontPage

here I want to add vim as the editor for moin

so what is visible in editor is actually in a tmp file, it is only saved to the real page in data/pages/ when "Save Changes" is clicked.

So now I need to find out where the tmp file is. when client side user click "Edit(text)", I just add

import os
os.system("vim cur_file") #current file means the file opened by Moin's own editor

gggggggg

./.mozilla/firefox/mkyaxt0x.default/sessionstore.js

:-0so I just give up finding some tmp file.

Better way **

1. below I just let vim open the real current file,
2. and after vim quite, then moin editor will read the modified version of '''current''',
3. this may produce some confusion when moin tries to generate diff, but basically it works.

Problem **

is vim is also invoked when you click '''Save Cancle ...'''

actually problems like above can be soloved like this, maybe stupidly

And I actually tried gvim as well, but end up not satisfied with the result, there were too many problems

pet@girl:~$ gvim
pet@girl:~$ gvim ss
pet@girl:~$ sudo apt-get install vim-python

So I will give up!

Solution **

haha, I finally got the cure of all my pain https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4125

and to make the thing perfect, people also made a emacs mode for '''moin editing''' , it goes here http://moinmo.in/EmacsForMoinMoin#preview
