[8wayRun.Com] XenCarta (Lite Wiki)

This is just getting better and better.
What's data type? And how do the users know which one to use?

The point with wiki is to make it super easy for people who don't know the mediawiki syntax to use. I hope you keep it in mind.
 
Some info here (I've reposted it below)

Here is a image dealing with editing pages in XenPorta.

You can see clearly:

* how easily the pages are edited
* how you can select one of the three current data types.
  • BB Codes
  • HTML
  • PHP file
* how you can "group" pages by adding a page as a child to a parent page.

Excellent.
Can we mix and match, say I make HTML data type where i insert some PHP code?

You can not directly input PHP code into a page. This is for security reasons. If you let users create a PHP page in the wiki, they could theoretically co-opt your entire server with their custom scripts. Because of this, I only permit PHP Files that are found on your server. This way, in order to run PHP code, you must have access to your FTP and upload the script manually. If a malicious user already has access to your FTP, the wiki isn't going to give them any extra abilities.

In order to set a PHP file, you only need to make PHP File page and the first line should be the path to your php script; any other lines will not be displayed on the page and will only be viewable by editors; so you can use them as edit notes. In your PHP script, $page['HTML'] is what will be retrieved for content to the page... you can input HTML directly into this field. PHP File pages are also not cached.
 
Just noticed that we're getting a "The requested page could not be found" error when creating a new page. But, it still seems to save the page. Is there any reason this would happen?

Yes... I made an error in the new Search system... I fixed it about 2 hours ago in my current version... lol

in EWRcarta_Model_Pages: find:
Code: 
			$dw3->setExistingData($page);
replace with:
Code: 
			if ($search = $this->getModelFromCache('EWRcarta_Model_Search')->getSearchByID($input['page_id']))
			{
				$dw3->setExistingData($search);
			}
Your current pages will NOT be added to the search system until you make this fix... After you make this fix, simply edit each page one by one... when you edit the page, it will add it to the search system if it's not already in there.

I also just discovered an infinite loop problem... The current system prevents a user from setting the current page as it's own parent, thus creating a vacuum. However, it does not prevent a user from setting a child page as the parent of it's own parent... A page's child can't also be it's parent, otherwise it infinite loops on breadcrumbs. The next version will fix this issue by disabling selection of any children from the parent's edit page.
 
I just added the fix and it worked, thanks :)

Is there a way to sort pages in a particular order? Put some weighting to it, for example?

You mean on the sidebar? The sidebar is just a quick navigation menu for top level pages...

If you wanted to add your own custom menu, you can easily edit the sidebar template.
 
Jaxel,
Here is a cool idea that i thought maybe you can swing

http://www.crunchbase.com/widget/

Wouldn't it be awesome if we can widgetize each wiki entry, give users the widget code that they can embed anywhere? This is like the FB like button that spread around the net. It can only help more people to go and visit your wiki page.

Is it possible?

Well, on the sidebar I wanted to have the 'parent' pages only. If I add all of the pages, that sidebar area will be packed with links. Any thoughts or ideas on what we can do to customize it?

Umm... thats what the sidebar does right now by default... it only shows TOP pages (absolute parents)...

Jaxel.. i can't find the template EWRcarta_Model_Pages. Am i missing something?
 
That's not a template it's a phpfile called Pages.php inside the folder "library\EWRcarta\Model" :)

So, I guess I must've set those pages up incorrectly. I just clicked on 'create a page' and then selected the parent page that I wanted to assign that page to.

For example, I have three pages that I created: TeeVeeTown Library >> Dexter >> Michael C. Hall

All three are showing in the sidebar, although TeeVeeTown Library is the index and for Dexter's parent page I selected the TeeVeeTown Library (index page) and then for Michael C. Hall's parent page I selected the Dexter page. Is that setup correctly?
 
ArnyVee... thats not the quick navigation menu you are talking about... thats the RELATED PAGES module. Whenever you are on a page, any other pages within that page's tree will be listed above the quick menu in a related pages module...

The quick navigation menu will only list absolute parents... you should make the Dexter page an absolute parent.
