 ====== Using DokuWiki as a lightweight CMS ======
-Wikis were **originally** intended as a way to work collaboratively in a very open environment. This is no different with DokuWiki. However DokuWiki provides certain features that make using it as a more conventional Content Management System possible. This pages gives you a quick overview what you might want to do for configuring DokuWiki as a CMS.
+Wikis were **originally** intended as a way to work collaboratively in a very open environment. This is no different with DokuWiki. However DokuWiki provides certain features that make using it as a more conventional Content Management System possible. This page gives you a quick overview what you might want to do for configuring DokuWiki as a CMS.
 Some steps are somewhat similar to when using DokuWiki as a [[tips:blogging|blogging tool]], so reading that page is recommended.

 ===== Customise =====
 ==== Locking up DokuWiki ====
@@ Line 19: / Line 18: @@
 Many DokuWiki features are less useful or even unwanted for a CMS setup scenario. DokuWiki, allows you to disable certain function using the [[config:disableactions]] option. For a CMS setup you probably want to disable ''register'', ''backlinks'', ''index'', ''recent'', ''revisions'', ''subscribe'', ''subscribens'' and ''source''.
+==== Enable URL Rewriting ====
+You should enable some sort of [[:rewrite|URL Rewriting]] so users don't see the ''../doku.php?..''
 ==== Template ====

 ==== Adding an always visible navigation ====
-The classic sidebar for menues, search- or contactforms is easy using a sidebar plugin like [[plugin:sidebar|sidebar]] or [[plugin:sidebarng|sidebarng]].

 ==== Editing Messages ====
-Certain messages generated by DokuWiki might not be sensible in a CMS context. This is most certainly true for the message you get when a page does not exist, which suggests to create the page. You should check the message files in ''inc/lang/<yourlanguage>/*.txt'' and edit them as needed.
-Be sure to backup these changes as they will be overwritten by the next [[install:upgrade]].

You should check the message files in ''inc/lang/<yourlanguage>/*.txt'' and then create your own version of these files in ''conf/lang/<yourlanguage>/*.txt''.
+Older DokuWiki version may require that you directly edit ''inc/lang/<yourlanguage>/*.txt''. In this case,  be sure to backup these changes as they will be overwritten by the next [[install:upgrade]].
 Enabling the [[config:send404]] option is another good idea in this case.

 ===== Design =====
 Often people shrink back if you talk about a wiki for CMS use. They mostly think of a 'wikistyled' wiki with the Wikipedia- or Dokuwiki-style with all the buttons and menus.
 But you can customize dokuwiki as easy as any other CMS, but retain all they wiki-functionality like easy document orientated editing, versioncontrol, transclusions and no use for a database.
