Hi, I have modified the source to make that the action=edit reads/writes from a file. I modify it with fopen in mode r+, and no problem when the new text is long equal or less than old text, but when is major it overwrites the old text as I want, but also the following. There's any function to write something in a file but not overwriting it?

I'm not sure what that means...

I have a .po file, for translations. There's a msgid "Example" in english, and later a msgstr "" with the translation or empty (must be translated). I show the content of msgid (no problem) and when I save contents, overwrite the content of msgstr. The problem is

msgid "Example" msgstr "" #comment #more comment

and writing "Example translated" in wiki

msgid "Example" msgstr "Example translated" omment

and I would like to insert some blanks before writing or something to no delete the posterior comments or more important things of later in the archive.

Also, as I now don't care of content in bd, all the conflicts of simultaneous users handled by Mediawiki in EditPage.php now have to be handled by me, right? (with flock, I suppose)

Well, yeah. If you remove the core code from the wiki you'll have to replace it or live without it.

In fact I attempted to save .po in bd, but it's a bit of useless as I want the .po modified as a file, and probably I had have to modify bd. Now when I call to updatearticle from editpage.php I also make this saving. But all the wiki stuff of collaborative web interface without user-privileges and possibility for not-login goes great for what I want to do!
