I already deleted Recent Activity and Quick Start. Can I change the width of the Sidebar? I don't need it so wide as it just lists the months of the year. Thanks.

Changing width of content area will not change width SideBar!

SideBar width is controlled by CSS, in various statements, which might vary with choosen skin and other parameters. Most important are these:
#displaycontent div.sidebar_v2 { width:22.6em; }
html>body div.sidebar_v2 { width: 22em; }

So, if you wanna change the width of SideBar, say to 50%, put this code somewhere (top or bottom) in your SideBar:

<style>
#displaycontent div.sidebar_v2 { width:11.3em; }
html>body div.sidebar_v2 { width: 11em; }
</style>

Experiment with the value of width in the code, change em or try pixels (f.e. 140px), to see what suits you best.

SideBar width is also controlled by border, margin and padding.

Some users might wanna change div .sidebar_v2 into #SideBar.

This worked. Thanks so much!

ok i see now, you have to go into the source on point and click editor. i had to use the pixels setting as em didnt work.

How do you delete recent activity?

I have version 2.0

Well that's just fantabulous... where can we can complain about this?

I have private folders set up and anybody can click on the recent activity and access the SUPPOSIVELY private pages that have recently been edited.

Donna,

I just created a page called 'Donnas Page', and placed it in a folder called 'Donna'. The page has no special security, and the folder is limited to Admins. Visit the V2.0 Forum Demo Wiki, and see if you can see the page in Recent Activity, or if either of those links let you see anything.

Both ways

I can't access any of Donna's pages or folders and I can not see the page in the recent activity. This is what I see in Recent Activity:

Then it appears to be working properly. Perhaps Casey is correct, and you are logged in with privileges. How does your 'Recent Activity' look when you log out completely?

I am logged in as a writer without privileges to any of the group's folders, however; I can still see their activity in "Recent Actvity" and there are active liinks to the secured pages, This happens if I am logged in as a writer or admin, I also logged in yesterday with some students (writer access) and they had access to ALL links in "recent activity, even if it wasn't their groups folder. If I log out completely, I'm out and can't see a thing. (this is a private wiki)
