[Moin-user] Programmatic creating/editing of pages

[jason.morgan at aveillant.com]

If I want to create a dynamic page in the wiki, I just use a macro which 
links the page to externally generated data.

e.g.  We have a dynamic list of machines, updated each time DHCP runs. The 
DHCP server updates a database, the macro queries that database.

You could do the same with your pictures, just store then in a database as 
blobs.

The wiki page says just (as wiki text)

--------
{{{#!wiki comment/dashed
Latest Data from DHCP  /usr/local/share/moin/data/plugin/macro/QueryDB.py
Data is collected by avldns0 and put into a MySQL Database, MACLookup
}}}

'''Last Query  :  <<Now()>>'''
<<QueryDB(SELECT * from mac order by hostname asc)>>
---------

The QueryDB and Now functions generate HTML

IIRC there is a parameter of PageEditor (or the save call) where you can
switch off revisioning.

I don't think you can do this easily using the existing API.
