[8wayRun.Com] XenCarta (Lite Wiki)

Logical improvement. Looks much nicer.

I think it might be nice if people could make their own HTML page to replace the Page List.
Especially if they have a lower number of pages (say under 20).
They could add some images and make it look nicer.
Well, that being said, it is just a Page List and they should make the Wiki Index Look better first :)

Sorry for my double post, is there a way I can let members add external images which align right and a set width? I can do this with the image bbcode but I want it aligned right (or left) and with a set max width. (only for the wiki)
 
Are there any plans for permissions? I have content that would be great to go on a wiki but I'd like to limit it to certain user groups. Is there a way to currently do this? Perhaps set a parent page permissions, all sub pages inherit them (if you want it that way). I don't know, just throwing it out there. I'm sure it's been mentioned or asked before so my apologies if so, my 'SearchFu' isn't what it used to be I guess.

Jaxel has said he doesn't intend to add permissions to XenCarta.
I'm sure he could do it, but doesn't have any plans to do it.

Currently wiki access is either ALL or none.
Essentially you would only give wiki access to someone you really trust.
Basically it would be for Admins only.

Xencarta and permissions
- there are 6 pages with permissions information.

Some people have elected to allow all forum members full wiki access.
ie. Ryan and his wiki. He made the point that if someone makes a mess of a page, it can easily be reverted.

If you are looking for a wiki with a bit more stuff in it ... please reply to this thread.
I keep track of the wiki keeners over there. Thanks !

As soon as 1.1 comes out I am going to firm up my wiki plans. Knowing what other people want / need helps me.

Do you know about VaultWiki ?
 
I remember seeing someone here has a Wiki that has a colorful table with games console codes.
That wiki uses this Xencarta wiki.

I just want to see how that table is created. Anyone with any idea?

You have a couple of different ways to do it...

Going into HTML mode would be the most efficient obviously, just wrapping a div with style around the bbcode entered.

You could create two templates, an opening and closing one, doing different things that you want to achieve.

A wikipage has a clear identifier already for use to preface all CSS with, being #wikiPage. Use that prefacing all CSS and you won't have any issue, ie. #wikiPage .primaryContent img { } which would obviously isolate all images on the wikipage within the primary content area only, which is your target.

If members cannot use HTML in wikipages, then you'll have to do it via multiple templates, example:

Create a generic ending [template=divclose][/divclose] which would contain a closing div.

Then create multiple templates all covering what you want to achieve, ie. standard sizes, floated right or left, containing the opening div with either class or style properties entered directly into it.

When you enter an image, wrap these template bbcodes before and after the image bbcode that xenforo uses when uploading an image and inserting it.

So your bbcode may look something like:

dofr = Div Open Float Right

Code:
[template=dofr][/template][ATTACH=full]5475[/ATTACH][template=divclose][/template]

Again, you can either enter the CSS into the template, or place it in the extra.css (my recommendation). So the contents of dofr template could be:

Code:
<div class="dofr">

The css would be anything you then wanted, ie. float right, some padding for text, maybe standard image height, etc.

Code:
.dofr {
float: right;
height: 300px !important; /* overrides any XF thumbnail or full size css */
padding: 0 0 10px 10px; /* pushing text away from image edge and footer only */
}

You get the idea... but it can be done without to many complications, and can be done in a multitude of ways... HTML directly would be the simplest and least work.

You then just compile a list of standard templates or inputs outlining what they achieve for users to use.
