Right here's the thing. I'm tired of waiting for the custom HTML tool to come on line so I have been doing a bit of hacking. Please forgive me Pbwiki. :-) In pbwiki 1.0 you were able to put some script/css in the sidebar and it could be applied to all pages. I don't know if it is deliberate but something is stopping me doing that in 2.0. A simple example. Lets say I wanted to put a link to Google in my sidebar but I wanted to position beside the edit button on every page. I would have to do a bit of css wizardry!! I can give the google link a class id = googlelink (Google) and I can upload a css file containing the following styling:
Then back in my sidebar I can refer to this css file by using the google gadget plugin and hey presto in works.........in the sidebar at least. If I go to my front page, the link appears in the position I designated but then disappears. It seems that the css (or something) on pages other than the sidebar supersedes my styling and the link disappears. I accept this might be difficult to visualise without seeing so if anyone can help then I am happy to allow them access to my wiki.
We're just starting a new wiki (t's private now, but will be public once we get it set up just right). It's a premium, educational wiki. We're planning on making it public and publicizing it in early August, plus it will be part of a university class project. I haven't done any design changes and only have about 15 pages (mostly for testing purposes) in the wiki so far (so I haven't done much yet). Should I convert to 2.0 now or continue developing in 1.0 and convert later? If I develop in 1.0, can I still use all those groovy widgets I've been reading about? Will I lose them when I convert to 2.0 later?
Also, I don't want to convert it in the middle of a semester (unless there's some kind of security/serious problem).
Thanks,
Kelly B.
Something that people should probably be aware of.. setting your default editor affects how your wiki pages render... if you set it to point and click, some wiki markup stops rendering correctly...
I meant to create a pbwiki 2.0, but started a 1.0 instead. I haven't put anything on the site yet but I did confirm/verify the site and agree to the terms so it is all up an running. I did this because I thought I could just delete it and then use the name for the 2.0 site, but it says the names cannot be recycled.
Any ideas? The site name is 'uncnasa' and I am looking to convert my old 1.0 site 'uncnasabiodiversity' to this new format but wanted to check it out first. I was also looking forward to a shorter name...
