If I make a folder public and I have a private wiki with whitelisting on the wiki - will anyone from any ip address be able to see the folder?
I hope so..?
Would someone be able to explain how permissions work?
I run a consulting company. I also handle sales for a small local company.
Here's what I'd like to accomplish. Four different things.
(1) My own intranet. Private notes about websites, referrals, clients, customer feedback, data, etc. Viewable only by me.
(2) Client-to/from-Me communication. Like a Private Messaging board where we have a permanently recorded discussion, and share documents and drafts. Ideally I would not be able to edit what they say, and they would not be able to edit what I say - just add on to the current discussion. Viewable only by me and the specific client.
(3) Policies and procedures for my staff. Viewable by me and my staff. Editable by just me.
(4) Interactive pages that my staff or me could add to and change.
I hope PBwiki can do a lot of this. Maybe not everything, it isn't an all-in-one toolbox and understand that. I'm also evaluating TikiWiki and a hosted ticketing system (for possible use as a private message board.) I use DabbleDB for my sales CRM. Any thoughts on complementary software is also appreciated.
Me again about the eagerly awaited page permissions. Is there going to be an option make a page or a folder public or private i.e. the default is private but you have the option to 'publish' it so it can be picked up by search engines. Currently this is only available as a wiki-wide option. I suppose if the wiki was 'public' the all you would have to do would assign permissions to each new page which would stop Jo public seeing it. However, I want my wiki to default to private and then have the option to 'publish' it. Is this going to be possible.
I want students to be able to view without all of them needing to login and edit. Is this still possible? I can get on the Front Page of a wiki I created in January and not have to login. Is this change a new requirement or something I need to change in my settings or someplace?
