Wikka and free Hosting
- I've installed Wikka on a free hosting service, and all I get is a blank page. Other (non-Wikka) pages do work, and show a banner of the hoster.
- I have a Wikka site at a free host, but all pages are truncated: the comments block doesn't appear.
- When a (free) host inserts a banner, it interferes with two things Wikka does by default:
- when Gzip-encoding is active, inserting a banner just messes things up (causing a blank page); and
- Wikka calculates content-length for a HTTP header - which will be incorrect after the banner is inserted, so you would see a truncated page when Gzip is not active.
- See BlankPageWorkaround for a solution to both of these problems.
Wikka
- Where did the name "Wikka" come from? Is is based on "Wicca"?
Text formatting
- How do you get a pair of double-quotes (without any text between them) to display properly ?
- Use the entity literal " - ""
Links
- How do you un-WikiName a word ?
- Add two pair of double-quotes around the word: WikiName
- How does WakkaWiki know to what URL to send a visitor to if it wasn't specified ?
- The link is to a forced WikiPage. That means a link to a page in this wiki is generated.
- So why does [[LALA_LELE]] send me to http://LALA_LELE ?
- The underscore breaks things. [[LALALELE]] doesn't have this problem.
Comments
- When I click on the [Add comment] link, wikka asks me, if I want to create this page instead of showing the comments-form
- Look into your wikka.config.php and set the entry 'rewrite_mode' => '1', to '0'. That should solve the problem .
Translation
- When will Wikka support other languages/utf-8 ?
- An internalization/localization project is currently under discussion, but it requires a major overhaul of the code, so don't expect it to appear in the very next releases.
