Export of large documents is unsuccessful online.

[rgleason]

NOTE: The only way found to get a single continuous and complete document exported is to download the dokuwiki to a local computer and to run the plugin completely locally, due to an excessive number of failures which require "exclusion" of the last page.

Export of large documents is unsuccessful online, (using PHP 5.6) due to excessive "excluded pages"
However when a Local dokuwiki is set up, export of the total document is feasible with it taking approximately 20 minutes for 200 pages. Images land in directories as configured and links work properly.

NOTE: This experience used the commits Gerry recently made for Indexmenu, ---not presently in the master as of 1/25/2018.

Time Settings:

• PHP max_execution_time 45 minutes
• Configuration: plugin siteexport cachetime | 60 * 60 * 24 |
• Configuration: plugin siteexport max_execution_time | 10000 |

If you need to export a large html document, Do it Locally!!!
First download the entire dokuwiki and get it running locally.
There is some interruption to the process which causes 55 pages to be "excluded" out of 200 pages. The plugin has to be run to find each of the "exclusions", then the page has to be "excluded" on the configuration page, then the plugin has to be run again to find the next "exclusion" which is between 20-30 minutes each time! Furthermore when you export those excluded pages and try to expand them back into the current place in the html document, all the images are left in a new folder under the namespace, resulting in image folders all over the place. (Note: The pages do work when expanded into the proper location, and all the links do work.) -Whereas when a single continuous download completes successfully, the image files get saved as originally stored and of course the links all work.

We had ample timeout settings for both settings PHP_max_time and the timeout setting in the Configuration so this is not the problem.

Would using a more recent version of PHP (above 5.6) allow export of large html documents, without having "excluded" pages?

The settings used were:
From the Offline TOC page OR Main user page

1. Select from the page's right menu, the icon second from the bottom Export SiteExport
2. Set Namespace= opencpn:opencpn_user_manual:toc_offline_plugins_manual
3. Parent Namespace to Export= opencpn:opencpn_user_manual:toc_offline_plugins_manual
4. Select Export all subnamespaces
5. To begin disable the "Export linked pages" option. Once it processes completely, then Check to have Links in the document.
6. Export all parameters "do" Check
7. Render Engine: ckedit
8. Template: dokuwiki
9. Everything else is unchecked.
10. Just hit Start ( without first hitting one of the three "Direct", "Wget" or "Curl")
11. When clicking the start button it should show you that it will export x/y pages.
12. Starts out: Adding "opencpn:opencpn_user_manual:advanced_features:network_repeater" ( 29 / 385 )
13. When the plugin completes you will be prompted to download the siteexport.zip file.
