Community Notes
A page for notes & new that doesn't fit into any other topic page that the wikka community might be interested in.....- if anybody wants to "play", I've put up a flat-file korean wiki that you can take a look at here for a few days. I've set it up because I want to see the embedded paint package they have & figure out how to adapt it to wikka (it uses BBSpaint.jar so I'm SURE it's adaptable), but I haven't been able to get that working on the site yet (I think I haven't created a directory to write into that it needs....but I haven't figured out where to create it or what to call it yet). Pukiwiki uses plugins instead of actions....I've put a few up at the sandbox. Feel free to try the paint plugin if you want (by entering #paint on a page), but it crashes my system....I think I've done something wrong in the setup (my korean is weak....not much better than the google translation engine....okay, okay, my korean is nonexistent....but what I said still holds). Have fun playing with pukiwiki...it's just one of numerous wiki's that are being developed in the asian market and which we don't really seem to run across in our community spheres. -- Mike (GmBowen)
- here's something kind of interesting....a single php script that generates a bunch of different types of graphs (line, bar, pie) using php. I'm going to play with it and see if I can turn it into an action that'll work in wikka....no success so far as an include....but I'll keep trying.
- Costal is playing with embedding a blog action ( here and here )... which is kind of neat idea.....in many ways not much different than a wiki, but "blogs" are hot, so the optic is that his wiki is more "current". This isn't much different than the {{threads}} action I've been playing with (you can't see the submit box unless you're registered & a designated user of it ), but I'm now wondering how easy it would be to link to our comments table since it's now separate from the pages one. If anyone is interested in playing with the threads action to blogify it (Hey, I created a new word) I can pass it on to you. -- Mike
- Hey....simple to install on-line drawing for wikka......check out http://gmbowen.educ.unb.ca/wiki/wakka.php?wakka=WikiDraw .....the guy hasn't worked out licensing yet, but is okay with it being re-distributed with an opensource license of some sort (he doesn't know much about licensing so I suggested he leave a note for JW here). The save script is easily modifiable to save into a directory in uploads named after the page it is placed on. Cool eh??
- hmmm....conversion tools. There's a wiki converter tool called HTML:WikiConverter that somebody at wacko has written a wacko conversion file for.
- Here's a wikini fork that includes fckeditor as an editor....my French isn't good enough to tell if there is a download of it available, but they seem to be discussing the issues of using such an editor well. There's a number of pages at the site. http://www.planete-couleurs.com/wikini/wakka.php?wiki=Fckeditor_Instal
- Wikini has an interesting tool. It is a .dot file for MSWord (version 97 up) that allows you to write a document using the word processor, and then convert it into wikini/wikka format. I've translated the text and provided the link here.
- code so that wakka could have fixed menus @ top & bottom of page. http://nontroppo.org/wiki/FixedMenus
