Using actions in Wikka pages
This page needs to be updated to match Wikka 1.1.6.2
About actions
Actions are small (or not so small) pieces of code that generate automatic content within a page. An action may provide simple content, or it may provide an interactive "service" with a form for user input.Some actions are considered "core" and are essential to the functioning of Wikka as a WikiEngine. Others are better classified as "plugins", providing extra, less essential functionality. Of course, WikkaWiki comes with all "core" actions and a nice collection of "plugins". Many Wikka users also make CodeContributions additional plugins available through this site.
Using actions
To include an action in a page, simply edit the page and put the name of the action, between {{ and }}, on it. Action names are case-insensitive.Many actions can be customized by providing extra parameters; a parameter must always have its value enclosed in double quotes. Unknown parameters are simply ignored; in some cases one or more parameters may be required.
Content example:
use {{wikkaversion}} to display the current Wikka version running:
n/a
Service example:
use {{googleform}} to provide an empty form to search Google; you may add a parameter to suggest a search term, as in {{googleform q="Wikka"}}:
