i have a pbwiki account, and i am logged in, yet when i try to post a comment, or edit the wiki for a class i am taking it says i don't have permission. and when i click on my teacher or my classmates user it says that i am not logged in when i am. I also cannot add the wiki to my list. I've been trying to get on to it for weeks and nothing seems to work!!!!
I am a Chinese user whose PBWiki Title (in Chinese) on the browser doesn't show correctly! (See j-lyrics.pbwiki.com/)
I visited other Chinese users' Wiki, finding that their charset in the source code displays as "zh" while mine displays "en," I don't know why. Is there anyway to change the code? or anyway to show the title correctly? Thanks for attention!
I was very please to find PBwiki but I need a workable solution to the below issues before I will have faith to use it further:
The 'free' or 'trial' version asks for a private or public setting yet does not have the private functionality - this is misleading and should be made clear before the account is established!
This combined with the fact that you can't exchange the email address that you submit to open the account (believing that it would be 'Private') for another email address leaves me dis-trusting what otherwise appears to be just what I was looking for!
So why not just delete the new wiki and start again - because I used the wiki name that I want and it says that if you delete a wiki the name will never be available again!
Is there any way to create a category or label for each new page that I create so that users can click on a selected category and see a list of all pages relevant to that topic?
How do I link an image on the front page to another page in the wiki? I have a JPG image on the first page that I would like to act as a hyperlink to another page of the wiki. Thanks for any help!
Sorry to be dense -- I've written a message, edited it , made a comment, uploaded a file -- and now I don't get how someone else can access it, make changes, how we can collaborate. We've already shared, 7 people. All who've tried this are confused. Please answer asap!
i'd like to insert a music player/playlist as in the kind that works for myspace...it would not work using the html because it is in standard formatting. but i was able to preview it in the youtube video plug-in, but once i "saved" the changes, it was no-longer there
(i am using the music sight "playlist.com" it gives me formating for myspace, facebook, gaia online, friendster, and then an "other" format for others, all of which i've tried where possible and have been unsuccessful in adding to my PBwiki page)
If you’ve ever done a workshop that requires teachers (or students) to use GOOGLE, you know how chaotic things get because most teachers come into the workshops without Google Accounts. And you lose valuable class time setting them up.
Even if you create a “public wiki,” the new PB wiki now models a behavior similar to Google. The moment workshop participants try to edit a page, it throws everyone onto a page that requires them to log in or create an account.
But the wise people at PB Wiki left a work-around that saves the day!!!!
It’s called MAGIC URL. If you go into wiki settings and click on “SHARING”, you will see a very long URL. I took that URL and converted it to TINY URL. Then, I pasted it on the opening page of my workshop wiki.
When it came time for teams to write on the wiki, I simply had them click on that URL. It gave them immediate access without ever having to create a PB Wiki account.
This tip could save your day!
Remember, however, this will leave no paper trail on who did the editing. So it's best used when participants will only have one-time use.
I create a lot of wiki "templates" for my workshops. Each team is assigned a page that they can write on. They can also click through the other team pages to see how others have responded. If I want to give the same workshop a month from now to an entirely different group, I simply revert to the last revision I made before the workshop started. And in an instant, I get a clean slate!
I have something on my front page that I would like to put on a different page so that I can use my front page as an introduction to my wiki. How do I move it without loosing it all?
I just started my wiki, and while I was editing the front page, I changed the text background, only to realize how stupid that looked. Now I can't get the background of the text to match the background of the page again. Am I just being stupid, and there's an easy way to fix this? I can't find a way to restore anything to default and no colors available in the pull-down menu match the background of the page. Help, anyone, please?
It used to be anyone could edit as long as they had the wiki password. It looks as though that's changed, and now my students are presented with a login page when they try to edit a page. They cannot log in (too young) and I don't want to create dummy logins.
I've played with the settings of the table, and set borders = "0". The html source says this: (I took out the < and > in case they messed up this message)
