Links are done automatically... it works well, and ignores page names inside html tags. The only issue I have seen so far are partial matches. For instance, I have a page called "Taki" and it matches to the letters in the word "Taking".

The wiki uses the built in WYSIWYG editor for XF.
Okay... sidebars are now on all wiki pages... unless you add "[NOSIDEBAR]" to the page.

I dont plan on changing anything to the permissions... I won't be rewriting any of the systems already built into XF.

This gets more and more WONDERFUL.

On the permissions I wasn't asking for the permissions system to change. I was asking to use the permissions system per block.
So for example I have usergroups A B C.
I have Blocks 1 2 3.

Block 1 is viewable by all - A B C. This is the Default.
Also Default viewable by Mods.

Block 2 is only viewable by A - that means B and C do not see it or any trace of it.
Block 3 is viewable by A and B but not C - C does not see it or any trace of it.
 
I've uninstalled for the moment. Had an issue, I changed the url to one of the pages which for some reason then wouldn't load up so I couldn't delete the wiki page but yet it was still showing up in the wiki navigation block.

Please explain this better... I can't replicate based on what you said.
 
When I click on links in the wiki, the tabs and the top image disappear.

This portal + wiki is already too great and too complex to discuss in one thread.
Ideally the 8WR Xen series would have their own home.

It doesn't disappear... XenForo uses HTML5, which loads up the page content, before it loads up the header. On that particular page, there are a TON of images, which are included in the page content. Before the header will load, it has to finish loading up the page content.
 
You, AmericanForum.com, Neutral Singh and 91 others like this. The rest of the forum members just have bad taste.

Interesting. I guess everything has trade-offs. I guess it's possible Google ads comes up with a better ad depending on what I click in the wiki. There are a huge number of images, I agree. Ideally if the header wouldn't change, the page loading would feel much faster. Doesn't sound like that is possible. I do note, that clicking on Home and Wiki seems to be the only tabs that do that.

http://xen1.8wayrun.com/ - on this demo when I click Home, The header reloads, and even though there aren't many images it feels less integrated. If I click members, or Help, I don't get the header re-load. No Big Whoop.
 
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.

Actually I just checked it out and it does it on EVERY page... even members and forums.

I can only get it to "Refresh" the Header on the Home and Wiki Tab.
Update: now it doesn't refresh !!
(note: the google ad is gone).

Update2: google ads are back, sometimes clicking Members does refresh everything.

Sounds like the refreshing of the header is a byproduct of having a google ad in the header.
 
Yes... I just looked into it... the header only refreshes because of the ad. The ad makes it so that the header from one page to another is slightly different (you wouldn't want to cache ads, because then you wouldn't make any money).

And for me, it happens on every page, members, forums and help as well.
 
Q1: Can I make a page of many different templates ?
Q2: Is there a limit to the number of templates I can use in a page ?
Q3: Can I make a page of a few different pages ?

[NOSIDEBAR][template=charSML] name=Cassandra | slug=cassandra [/template]

I see this code generates the cool image link (see below)xenporta.cassandra.code.webp
Where did you define Cassandra ?
Did you define template=charSML and then you can apply that template to any character ?
What database did you use for the raw data ?
 
The [NOSIDEBAR] tag removes the sidebar from the page... that has nothing to do with the template.

As for the template call... this is the contents of the template:
Code: 
<table style="float: right; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; width: 100px;">
	<tr>
		<td class="secondaryContent"><a href="http://xen1.8wayrun.com/wiki/{{{slug}}}/"><img src="soulcalibur/{{{slug}}}.jpg" alt="{{{name}}}" /></a></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
		<td class="subHeading"><b>{{{name}}}</b></td>
	</tr>
</table>

You can put as many templates on a page as you want... however, you can not put a template within a template.
 
Q3: Can I make a page of a few different pages ?

Forinstance, Can I make a page called Three Amigos, and compose the page by
Yoshimitsu
Yun-seong
Zasalamel

Can I make a page of pages ? (so to speak) ?
or can I make any page a template ... and then make the Three Amigos page via
[template=PageEqualsTempl] name=Yoshimitsu [/template]
[template=PageEqualsTempl] name=Yun-seong [/template]
[template=PageEqualsTempl] name=Zasalamel [/template]
 
You can't include pages within pages... but you can include templates within pages... So you could do:

[template=Yoshimitsu] [/template]
[template=Yun-seong] [/template]
[template=Zasalamel] [/template]

However, I would definitely not recommend this because templates are not the same as pages. Templates are cached with pages, so if you update a template, the page itself wont update until you clear the page's cache (edit the page, or press the empty cache button). As well, templates are controlled by administrators only, so they dont have an archive of historical edits like normal pages would.
 
How hard would it be to insert WIKI content into the forums ?
Let's say I had a wiki pages called: "Page Data Types".
and someone asked the question in the forums ... Can I add php pages in my wiki ?
I would like to be able to answer:
[wiki]Page Data Types[/wiki]
and the contents of the Page Data Types wiki entry would appear in the forums, along with a link to the wiki.
Possible ?

One way to keep a wiki "fresh" is to be able to use it and reference it.
Communities don't really need a forum and a wiki. They need some blend of them. Sadly no forum has looked much past the outdated Forum>Thread>Post mentality.
I bet Xenforo will, but so far it looks pretty traditional.
