I created a private wiki this weekend, and emailed invites to a dozen coworkers.
none of them can get into the wiki, and now that I logged out I cannot log back in either!
I filled out the Contact Wiki Owner form and sent a resuest, and the request reached me, so I am clearly the Owner of the wiki. Feeling dumb tho. Please help!
I don't want to give people access to edit pages, but I would like them to be able to add comments on the comments tab. Is this possible? I have a platinum wiki, if that helps.
I want my wiki to be private, with new users (Readers) adding themselves through a process like the following. Is it possible? How? Thanks!
1) Person goes to my website, decides he wants to view my wiki, clicks the link and lands on my pbwiki page, which is Private.
2) Person fills out a little form requesting access, selecting logon and PW or using an existing pbwiki logon and PW. There is also at least one customizable field, and preferably more, where they can pick from lists or checkboxes or write something in text fields, etc.
3) They click submit and it generates an email to me (Admin) or a moderator I designate.
4) We review the request and either approve it, deny it, or request more info (reply).
5) An email is then automatically sent to the prospective reader with the results, such as "you've been approved... you can now access the wiki with your logon and PW.
If this is possible, how is it done and what are the limitations, if any. If it' not possible, is it on the horizon? When?
I'm wondering why the access levels at which I can offer to share my wiki seem to be inconsistent. If I sign in to my wiki with the contributor password, I can invite others to be contributors (and lower levels), but if I sign in at a higher level as moderator, then I can invite others to read only. Isn't this backward?
User cannot access pbwiki.com from home computer. This connection issue occurred after a crash while upgrading their wiki.
User tried accessing pbwiki.com through the Firefox Browser, and clearing IE7 browser cache, cookies, temporary internet files & even History, and restarted the browser and computer during these steps.
Two ways to turn on cookies AND add pbwiki.com to your trusted zone ...
In Internet Explorer; to add 'pbwiki.com' to your trusted zone; just double-click the icon near the bottom-right of your browser (just under the main internet window) and add ' pbwiki.com' to your trusted zone. You will have to uncheck the HTTPS box before adding pbwiki.com to the list. Then re-check the box before you click OK. The HTTPS box is checked by default and is a safer setting for your system.
Another way to add pbwiki to your trusted zone ...
* Click 'Tools' in your browsers toolbar, then click 'Internet Options'.
* Go to the 'Privacy' tab. If you are not allowing any cookies at all, set a slightly lower security setting. (Medium is good for most users)
* Click the 'Sites' button and add 'pbwiki.com' as a trusted website.
* Click Allow.
* Apply your changes, and click OK.
You will have to uncheck the HTTPS box before adding pbwiki.com to the list - then recheck the box before clicking OK.
For licensing purposes, what's consitutes a "user"? We have 5-user license business license with a private wiki. We have 5 staff members who will have access of varying levels above "read". Will we need to upgrade our license to allow anyone else "read" access? Would the same be true for a public wiki? Would the same be true for a mostly-private pbwiki 2.0 with at least one "public" folder?
I want anyone who knows the name of my wiki to have writer permission (because it's for students *and* prospective students, and I won't know who all of the prospective students are before they want to access the wiki, so issuing one-by-one invitations won't work for me).
How do I do that? And if I can't do that, what is the closest I can come to it?
I can't access PBwiki. I'm currently taking a course which involves constructing a wiki together. Although I had access up through 11:30 eastern time, July 11, I have not been able to get in since. In either Firefox or Explorer, I get a "connection has timed out" message while trying to access any site with pbwiki.com in the URL. Help?
How do I have access to wikis I try to create? Everytime I try to create my summer camp wiki, when I click through (agreeing to terms, etc. ) I get a page that says I don't have access to the wiki. I've tried to create
avidlearning
avidlearner
cchsavid
I would prefer to have my wiki be called avidlearner..but I can't seem to get any of those to work... very frustrating.
Just come out of the webinar! Really good , thanx. Page-level access is definitely going in the right direction. I think not integrating groups of users is a big mistake though. Lets go through an example. You use pbwiki as an intranet and you have 200 users. The CEO wants to produce a page on an exciting new update and he has given his senior managers read and edit access to the page so they can collaborate on it. Fine. Couple of days later, page is finalised and CEO wants to 'publish' it up to all of the employees to have read access. Are you seriously trying to advocate that the CEO assigns access to each of the 200 individual users. Not going to happen! How can you make this workable without having groups?? Would be interested on your take on this.
I've shared the whitepapers and information about PBwiki security, but I they would like to see some independent assessments of PBwiki security. Can you help?
Is there an auto log offon the system side after an extended period of no activity, or when a user fails to log out before closing the browser?
My company has some shared workstations and we've had users be able to access via other individual's identities when only the browser has been closed ... and, yes, we've told them to log out but they probably didn't listen to their mothers either.
Is there a max number of allowed administrators on one pbwiki site accessing a page at the same time? I have 25 administrators in a training, trying to post comments; some administrators were unable to gain the permissions needed to comment on a page? What would restrict their access, as an administrator, to not allow them to have permission to add a comment?
Thanks....
Can different folders on my wiki have different permissions? In other words, can I make some folders editable by anyone and others editable only by people I designate?
