I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can't make the wiki work at all.


Just as a test page to see how everything works I copied this

This wiki is primarily for the storing of esoteric technical information. This includes, but is not limited to: in depth frame data and user written character guides. If you have interest in the "lighter" side of Soulcalibur, be sure to check out the <a href="http://soulcalibur.wikia.com/wiki/Soulcalibur_Wiki">Soulcalibur Wiki at Wikia Gaming</a>. However, this is a wiki, and if a user wanted to create articles with information for the "lighter" side of Soulcalibur, we would of course welcome it.

Hi,


You need to create the template "indexICON" using the second lot of code in Jaxel's message here :)
 
Is there a way I can edit the navigation bar button that says "Wiki" (Where is says Home, Forum, Members etc.)? I've looked and looked but still no luck and lack of expertise with XenForo makes it even more difficult.
 
Is there a way to get the old way back :confused:
If someone went to black page (as in nothing there) wiki/test it would ask if you would like to create this page etc...
Now it just gives "The requested page could not be found." :eek:

Hi Mate,

Easy done, log into your AdminCP and then go to Appearance>Phrases; Search for 'wiki'. You will see a phrase 'wiki [8wayRun.Com] XenCarta (Wiki)http://localhost/community/admin.php?phrases/wiki.8298/edit&language_id=1' click that and then edit the 'Phrase Text' box to whatever you want 'wiki' changed too.
 
I am just getting started with the wiki add-on. Five items came up:

1. BUG. I created a page, and now I am trying to change the Link URL. Whenever I change it, I save it, it changes back. So, once a page is created the Link URL is permanent? The only way to make a change would be to delete the page and make a new one? The breadcrumb shows the new page path, but the actual link retains the old path.

2. I was trying to copy Jaxel's indexICON page but when I created the title all the letters were forced into lowercase. It's not possible to provide a template with any upper case letters in the name, correct?

3. I know that XenMedio now offers integrated search with XF where if a member uses the native XF search, it can find media. That doesn't seem to work for Wiki though. Will that be coming?

4. I noticed the Page List on 8wayrun.com is a long 1 column list. May I suggest adjusting the CSS in XenCarta to format that list into 3 columns?

5. BUG, can duplicate. When entering new pages I type the Title, then tab through the Link URL to the Data Type field, where I press TAB to change from BBCode to HTML. I then tab out and begin entering information and press Create New Page. In 100% of cases when I check back the Data Type field shows as BBCode. For some reason the HTML change does not work unless I make the change by opening the drop down box and selecting HTML.
 
Hi Jaxel,

Im starting to see how good this wiki really is, this has some serious potential!

Is there a way to hide the 'wiki' tab from the navbar altogether? But still allow access to the pages it created? I want to use this as more of a CMS/Page Creator. With KingK's BB Code Manager that has awsome potential to make really really cool custom pages. The breadcrumb could be an issue. I wish I was a coder so I could know if this was feasible, what do you think?

Here's a thread on how to remove the breadcrumb

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/hide-breadcrumb-on-index-page.9585

Here's a couple threads on how to ADD navigation tabs. I am pretty sure you can go in an hide a tab but breaking the code in any of several places. I would suggest start by looking at the Navigation template.

Hi Oracle, those links dont really apply to XenCarta. And I am not a coder by any means. I think Jaxel would be the only person who could do this since its his code, thanks anyuway

You doubt my superpowers?

Code: 
                       <!-- Modified by Ryan.  Part 1 of 2 modifications in this template to remove breadcrumb from forum main page -->
                        <xen:if is="!in_array({$contentTemplate}, array('forum_list','EWRcarta_PageView'))">
                                   
                          <div class="breadBoxTop">
                            <xen:if is="{$topctrl}"><div class="topCtrl">{xen:raw $topctrl}</div></xen:if>
                            <xen:include template="breadcrumb"><xen:set var="$microdata">1</xen:set></xen:include>
                          </div>
                        <xen:else />
                        </xen:if>

Test and it works for me. It follows the example in the first link I offered. The change is made in the PAGE_CONTAINER template. Note my code also removes the breadcrumb from the forums. If you don't wish to remove the breadcrumbs on your forums as well, remove that part of the code.

lol no, not at all. It was my mistake I worded it wrong. I actually did want to remove the breadcrumb thank you. But what I meant also was the actual wiki breakcrumbs/links... not sure waht to call them? I think thats what you may be referring above in youre 2nd post? But im a noob with coding lol

**EDIT**
Also whenever a wiki page is viewed it highlights the 'wiki' tab, would also need to remove that if you know how? cheers
 
I was completely teasing! Out of boredom I look for places to insert movie lines :LOL:

If I am understanding you correctly, you wish to hide the Wiki tab in the navigation bar. So the question is...when someone is viewing a page what do you want to see on the Nav bar? The default behavior is to always show one tab as selected. Do you want another tab showing as selected? or none?

It seems you want to use these Wiki pages to build more content for your site. You can do exactly what you want by adding a page ACP > Applications > Create New Page. The new page wouldn't appear in the nav bar and you can link to it through /pages/page_name

lol thats cool. Yes no tab showed just a page. Is that possible?

Yeah I wanted to use pages but they dont support BBCode thats why I wanted to use XenCarta. Im starting to think its not worth all the trouble just to use BBCodes
 
hmm...this is the part where I reveal I don't really have superpowers and I come crashing back to earth. I'll defer to our wiser contributors. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. (n)

Thats cool. You did help with the breadcrumbs which I needed, good progress id say ;), thanks mate
 
Minor bug report.

Wiki > Administrate Wiki > then select any template for editing. When I am viewing the edit template, if I select Template List on the breadcrumb, I receive an XF "page not found" error. It is trying to take me to /wiki/special/templates.

Thanks for your assistance!
 
Is there a way maybe to have a Admin wiki or something? Where only admins or special group can view it? Plus the normal one? I'm going be running few games and it be nice to keep administration info on it. Besides passwords and such but you know config and settings and changes to keep note of everything.

I tried this and got no where. I assume the second part is actual template done through admin panel right? If so I did just that and copied your first code box into a wiki page as html and preview was just a bunch of the text smashed up in 1 paragraph.
 
I love this Wiki add-on but it needs a bit more work. I keep finding bugs/issues.

Bug: the Preview system does not work correctly. Wiki pages take up approximately 70% of the screen, leaving the other 30% for the sidebar. When you enter EDIT mode, the page takes up 100% of the screen which is great for editing. The problem is when you select PREVIEW the screen remains at 100% so the spacing is off quite a lot. The preview is not like what the wiki page will look like.
 
I see a crap load of bugs were considering going to MediaWiki. I love this idea though but some of the bugs I noticed are the following:

1) If you edit the url not the title part after you already created the page the effects will not work. You instead have to edit the top also with anything then edit it back just to have any new URL only changes to reflect.
2) Posting HTML Never works. You must always go back and edit it then click HTML and then save.
3) If the page is HTML should never open that advance editor. Seams to enjoy making the format really ugly.
4) There seams to be 0 protected ways for content. For example a lot of Game and Developers use wiki's but also want to have say a Lock to admins only function so the general public can't see any of the sensitive information or leaks yet.
