About this app

The application is currently on version beta.

This means that not some features are still in development and that stability is not yet guaranteed.

# Introdution
The goal of DokuwikiAndroid is to access your dokuwiki server, and keep in sync a local version of your wiki.
You can then easily access your data, even if no network is available.

# Prerequisite

- remoteuser option activated (with the user/group setting adapted)
- an android smartphone

# What is already possible with the Application:
- setup one dokuwiki to be accessed with a user and password to login
- view a page (text content only, no media)
- follow links inside dokuwiki's intance within the application
- edit a page, new content is then pushed to the dokuwiki server
- local cache of pages
- synchro if not local page in cache (version not handled)

# What is not yet covered:
- any media
- smart synchro
- error handling

Ratings and reviews

Works great but had to "read between the lines" in the GitHub project's instructions. Don't just use the URL of the wiki, give the sync settings the URL and path to lib/exe/xmlrpc.php. Once that was done, and Remote was enabled and my username was in the Authentication settings, it connected right up. Big problem now is creating pages, I get a DNS error for dokuwiki.create

It's a private Wikipedia. Problem is, there's not clear instructions on setting it up, so you're left digging through searches trying to figure out how to configure the server. Still haven't been able to link the server to this app because of lack of instructions.

Works great so far. Had to configure my DokuWiki to make it work. Default DokuWiki settings don't allow the app to work. Had to set DokuWiki Authentication setting "remote" to checked, and set "remote user" to empty string. After that it worked.
