It works in the same way as the <a href="../basewiki.html">basewiki</a> and the underlays set up by the <a href="./underlay.html">underlay</a> plugin, so if a page in the transient underlay is edited via the web, the edited version is committed to the RCS as usual. Unlike other underlays, if a page in the transient underlay is superseded by an edited version in the RCS, the old transient version is deleted automatically.</p> <p>This plugin is mostly useful as something that other plugins can depend on:</p> <ul> <li><a href="./aggregate.html">aggregate</a> writes aggregated posts into the transient underlay</li> <li><a href="./autoindex.html">autoindex</a> can be configured to auto-create missing pages that have a <a href="../ikiwiki/subpage.html">subpage</a> or an <a href="./attachment.html">attachment</a>, but not commit them, in which case they go in the transient underlay</li> <li><a href="./comments.html">comments</a> writes comments pending moderation to the transient underlay</li> <li><a href="./recentchanges.html">recentchanges</a> writes new changes into the transient underlay</li> <li><a href="./tag.html">tag</a> can be configured to auto-create missing tag pages but not commit them, in which case they go in the transient underlay</li> </ul> </div> </div> <div id="footer" class="pagefooter" role="contentinfo"> <div id="pageinfo"> <div class="tags"> Tags: <a href="./type/core.html" rel="tag">plugins/type/core</a> <a href="./type/special-purpose.html" rel="tag">type/special-purpose</a> </div> <div id="backlinks"> Links: <a href="./contrib/album.html">contrib/album</a> <a href="./contrib/ikiwiki/directive/album.html">contrib/ikiwiki/directive/album</a> <a href="../tips/optimising_ikiwiki.html">tips/optimising ikiwiki</a> </div> <div class="pagedate"> Last edited <span class="date">Tue Feb 26 23:01:54 2019</span> <!-- Created <span class="date">Tue Feb 26 23:01:54 2019</span> --> </div> </div> <!-- from ikiwiki --> </div> </div> </body> </html>
