I've read that sidebars appear on every page, but I can also see the sidebar and folders sections. Is this due to my administrator status? How do I link from a title in the sidebar to my folders for users who can't see both? So far I can link to an individual page but how do I link to a whole folder where I've set up related pages?
Search is like doing a search in quotes on Google?
Unless I am wrong, then this is a hindrance to take up of our business wiki by users. I have just tested v1 & v2. Our problem is that generally we want search results to be weighted:
Exact match (excluding case) (i.e. words appear together and in the same order)
All words appear in title
All words appear in title or text
We can't let Google in as it is a private business wiki and so needs credentials. So am I right, if so, are there any plans to "improve" the search?
The business case is that the WIKI is getting large and users are not finding things quickly, which is reducing the effectiveness and adoption of the WIKI. I had just assumed the search would be Googlesque.
I have just created my wiki , and it seems even if i delete blank lines on my front page the right hand scroll bar wont dissapear!
Am i going crazy or have i missed something???
Help!!
How do I find a sample wiki to evaluate the product? I set up my own personal wiki, but that is not helpful in getting me to understanding what different templates are like, and most importantly, how the search function works, because I only have a few pages which won't approach the complexity of the business wiki I'm considering. There MUST be some dummy samples of private or business wikis that prospective buyers can access, right?
two email invites were sent out to an email which wasn't yet functioning. The user now can not register because emails to that account had been bounced. How can we resolve it?
Why are the spaces in document names replaced with "%" when they are downloaded? How do I change this? I am admin on an archiving wiki and this is problematic when other change and reload documents...
I'm using the sortable table function in pbwiki 2.0.
Unfortunately, it seems to handle dates (such as 6/3/2008) as a number (632008) so that a date such as 5/30/2008 (5302008) would be listed higher than 6/2/2008. In other words, it just doesn't work for dates, which seems like a pretty basic function.
Is there any workaround or plan to address this issue?
I want to use a wiki with multiple users in a class. I do not know their email addresses. I want them to open up a page within the wiki that I have created and edit it.
I do not want them to have to register and then invite them. Is there a quick way of sharing a password between multiple unregistered students? I am using pbwiki 2.0
I have my pbwiki aliased to a custom domain (wiki.bunchball.com). This was working fine. Today, whenever I click "Login to Edit", I get a browser error message saying "Security Errror: Domain Name Mismatch, that says that I'm trying to establish a connection with wiki.bunchball.com but that the security certificate belongs to *.pbwiki.com
Then, in Firefox, I get taken to my list of wikis. I click on wiki.bunchball.com and I'm still not logged in. Repeat the process with the same results.
IE seems to get me logged in eventually. Going to bunchball.pbwiki.com and logging in works. Did something change recently?
Some wikis are noteworthy or interesting... other wikis are a collection of specific noteworthy/interesting things...
It'd be cool if the social networking icons (digg, furl, etc) at the bottom of the page could be for the particular page you were looking at instead of the whole thing.
I have tried to share my private pbwiki 2.0 with someone else. I set him up as a user, but he tells me that he is unable to login. When he clicks the link that was sent to him, he gets this error message:
Oops! We can't recognize the link you clicked on.
To fix this, please cut and paste the full URL from the email into your browser (then press Enter).
He did the copy and paste, but the same error message comes up in the browser. Same result in firefox and safari.
I'm creating a directory of collaboration sites for my wiki, and I'd like to insert a ratings widget so that visitors can rate each of the sites/tools that are mentioned. I'm a new PBWiki user, and I can't find a plugin that works, but there are a few sites out there the offer javascript ratings widgets -- are these allowed on PBWiki? If so, how do I install them? If not, are there alternatives?
