Problem:
I added a border to the layout of html-tables in the index.css.
But the layout in the wiki on index.php did NOT change.
Cause of the problem:
The browser doesn't cache the index.php because it is a dynamic file, but it does cache the index.css so changes by the user are NOT immediately applied to the wiki.
Solution:
I added a timestamp as a parameter to the css-link in the config.php:
This gives the link in the index.php a pseudo prameter version=timestamp and so the browser will also reload the css-file if the index.php is reloaded by the user.
Example link in index.php:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="/index.css?version=1755753029" />Request to Steven:
Please merge into the main version of w2wiki
P.S. The /img folder was still missing. I added it, so if the repository is downloaded and deployed as a zip file to a server the folder is already there, making it easier for new users to find the place to put images.
