Additions:
I came across an issue earlier in the evening when trying out different CSS styles on my personal Wikka installation (no longer up). The comment box in Wikka is fixed. This is very frustrating on a web designers standpoint, especially when working with a narrow design. The designer in me realized that simply encasing the comment form itself with a <DIV> tag would allow any Wikka designer to modify it's apperance.

Additions:
Hello, my name is Adam Whitlock and I have currently implimented Wikka in an intranet environment. I'm pretty satisfied with how well it handles our different needs and is very popular. I am quite supprised how much Wikka has made an impression on me, as I would have never thought to use a wiki for an intranet site. Anyone who tries it will be thankful once they realize no one has asked them for additions after the first couple weeks.
====Comment Form Width / Height Fix====
I came across an issue earlier in the evening when trying out different CSS styles on my personal Wikka installation [[http://www.adamwhitlock.com]]. The comment box in Wikka is fixed. This is very frustrating on a web designers standpoint, especially when working with a narrow design. The designer in me realized that simply encasing the comment form itself with a <DIV> tag would allow any Wikka designer to modify it's apperance.
**In '/handlers/page/show.php' find the following code:**
%%(php)
// display comment form
print("<div class=\"commentform\">\n");
if ($this->HasAccess("comment"))
{?>
<?php echo $this->FormOpen("addcomment"); ?>
<label for="commentbox">Add a comment to this page:<br />
<textarea id="commentbox" name="body" rows="6" cols="78"></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Add Comment" accesskey="s" />
</label>
<?php echo $this->FormClose(); ?>
<?php
}
print("</div>\n");
}
else
{
?>
%%
**Replace with:**
%%(php)
// display comment form
print("<div class=\"commentform\">\n");
if ($this->HasAccess("comment"))
{?>
<?php echo $this->FormOpen("addcomment"); ?>
<label for="commentbox">Add a comment to this page:<br />
<textarea class="commentbox" id="commentbox" name="body" ></textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="Add Comment" accesskey="s" />
</label>
<?php echo $this->FormClose(); ?>
<?php
}
print("</div>\n");
}
else
{
?>
%%
This code change will allow you to assign the CSS class "commentbox" to the form itself. It is necessary to create the '.commentbox' code to your wikka.css file however. This allows you to specify width and height, along with any other CSS feature you desire. For example the following code will create a comment form that takes up 99% of the width as well as provide a decent height:
%%(css)
.commentbox {
background-color: #eee;
width: 100%;
height: 90px;
border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;
}
%%
When using 100% width using this code, please keep in mind it is not very attractive for Windows IE users, though looks great with many other browsers (FireFox for PC & Mac, Safari, et cetera).

Hello, my name is Adam Whitlock and I have currently implimented Wikka in an intranet environment. I'm pretty satisfied with how well it handles our different needs, and that the wikka.config.php file is easily readable to make editing on the fly a piece of cake.
GmBowenWikkaAsPIM is a great PIM, though after looking through the possibilites I would have to make everyone use the same login to share a calander. I looked into the "Buddies" idea that was mentioned in the comments, and that would be great for most people. Those looking for a groupware solution geared at non-computer savvy people... it's not the best choice. I would have to create a separate user login for the calendar for editing. If you could view other people's calendars and edit it...this would work out great!
I did end up giving everyone the same login for our intranet because that was too much hassle to sift though the the PIM code(and deploy time was shortened).
My current wiki project is creating a custom PHP script that will access fields of an existing SQL database and create new Wikka pages based on the field parameters. I am also working on a way to create custom links for each page based on the page title. The script will take part of the page title and create a link based on the search function. The script will also create another link based on the other half of the page title. This will be intersesting if I can get it to work.

My next task is hardsetting a login so everyone is already logged in as the same user. Once that's done then I will have a successful wiki implimentation in an intranet environment.

At this time my only suggestion is that a stronger calendar program needs to be implimented, though I am currently looking into solutions.
If anyone has any suggestions for a calendar more than one person can use AND edit, please leave a comment.

Hello, my name is Adam Whitlock and I am currently investigating WikkaWiki to use on a number of web sites. Right now I've been going through some trouble setting it up, such as downloads do not work in the 'files' action. Wish me luck, and from my investigation this is the best Wiki around to use.
