showfile plugin by GrdScarabe
A basic plugin to display the content of files present on the server's disks
Last updated on 2008-05-13. Provides Syntax.
Compatible with DokuWiki devel > 2007-06-26.
Similar to source.
 | This plugin should never be used in an open environment as it allows to read arbitrary files from the webserver, including security sensitive files like /etc/passwd, .htaccess or DokuWiki's own conf/users.auth.php | |
NOTE: I can't see what advantages this has over the source plugin. Amongst other things the source plugin includes:
- security options to restrict the files that can be displayed, and
- provides dependency checking to work with DokuWiki's caching, thereby allowing the rendered wiki page to be cached.

A basic plugin for displaying file contents, for file located on the server's disks. It's a first time experiment as DokuWiki plugin developer and the plugin was developped in like 10 minutes … so feel free to improve …
Of course the files must be readable by the Apache user or group for the content to be displayed.

Development
There is a dedicated Trac at : https://dev.fabienpoulard.info/dokuwikiplugins/wiki/showfile
Usage
<showfile>/var/log/messages.log</showfile>
Where
- /var/log/messages.log is the file to display ;)
It is recommended (mandatory) to add the ~~ NOCACHE ~~ directive to have the content refreshed each time the page is displayed.
