Guy Fawkes (BANNED!)'s dashboard

Guy Fawkes replied on May 16, 2008 19:06 to the question "script support in 2.0 and upgrade mandatory?" in PBwiki:

"So the Question is how I get something like that to work in 2.0? "

Try placing your code inside a Google Gadget plugin. Currently that is the only place where they are not stripping JS.

Example here.

Guy Fawkes started following the question "script support in 2.0 and upgrade mandatory?" in PBwiki.

Guy Fawkes replied on May 16, 2008 19:02 to the question "more than one email to notifications?" in PBwiki:

Candice, you'd have to have them add themselves as additional users. The My PBwiki "profile" has a place to enter multiple email addresses, but only the address marked as "Primary address" will receive notifications.

Guy Fawkes replied on May 16, 2008 14:19 to the question "How do I unlink personal and professional wikis? (Not "Mom" at work!)" in PBwiki:

Be sure to keep a careful eye on which account you are using. You cannot log in to both accounts at the same time, and switch back and forth between windows. If you switch identities in one window, all other logged-in windows will assume the new identity. Rather than creating multiple accounts, PBwiki should do like Google Groups does, and allow you to set the publicly-viewable username on a case-by-case basis. That way, you could have one account, but you're "Mom" on some wikis, and "Julie" on others.

Try using the Equation plugin:



which, I believe, supports LaTeX:

Guy Fawkes replied on May 16, 2008 14:01 to the question ""Contact the owner" inside the page" in PBwiki:

Sure, put this code in the source of your page:

<a href="/contact.php">Contact The Owner</a>

Example here.

Guy Fawkes replied on May 15, 2008 17:47 to the question "Do you have folders for wikis?" in PBwiki:

Rachel, how do you create a folder to keep several wikis in? I couldn't find it.

Guy Fawkes replied on May 14, 2008 18:53 to the question "Wiki name permanently retired?" in PBwiki:

They started "retiring" names about a year ago, with no explanation. They've never given an honest (i.e., complete and technical) explanation of why they made this policy decision. I'm sure (if they deign to reply at all), the answer you'll get will involve the growing complexity of their systems, or some such mumbledygook, very similar to their excuse for not allowing wikis to be renamed.

Guy Fawkes replied on May 14, 2008 14:19 to the question "Where can I find links to all the public PBwiki's?" in PBwiki:

http://pbwiki.com/public.php used to list all of the "public" wikis, but it has been abandoned.

A comment on the question "pbWiki is yummy but I want my own darnit!" in PBwiki:

Wow. Very impressive features. – Guy Fawkes, on May 14, 2008 14:10

Guy Fawkes replied on May 14, 2008 14:08 to the question "how do i convert from v2 to v1 ?" in PBwiki:

Yes, V1 is much easier to use than V2, on many counts.

No, it is not possible for you to convert your wiki from V2 to V1, because it's not possible for them to do so . They have "reserved the right to enable this feature" once they figure out how to do it.

No, you will not be able to use the same URL if you delete your V2 wiki.

Guy Fawkes replied on May 13, 2008 14:15 to the question "files" in PBwiki:

They already are. To make the files easier for folks to find, you could place links to the files on a wiki page, but any file uploaded to a wiki is immediately available for anyone to download. There is no security for uploaded files.

Guy Fawkes replied on May 13, 2008 14:13 to the question "Why can't I add an image?" in PBwiki:

You can't "paste" images into a wiki page. You can upload an image to the 'Files' area of a wiki, then insert that image into the page. Are you using a V1.0 or V2.0 wiki?

Guy Fawkes replied on May 13, 2008 14:12 to the question "Color Scheme for Free Wiki" in PBwiki:

I was able to change the color scheme for the PBwiki V2.0 Missing Features Wiki (a free wiki) to 'Plum', and it stayed that way. If you're using a V2.0 wiki, you may need to contact support if this continues to be a problem on your wiki, since it seems to be working elsewhere.

Guy Fawkes replied on May 12, 2008 13:37 to the question "Widgets on PBwiki?" in PBwiki:

Put the widget code inside a Google Gadget plugin. Here's the "Multi Web Search Engine Widget" as an example.

Guy Fawkes replied on May 12, 2008 13:33 to the question "AllPages not working" in PBwiki:

Mine are working, for both V1.0 and V2.0 wikis. If it's still not working for you this morning, you should probably contact support directly.

A comment on the question "Can people make comments on PBWiki 2.0?" in PBwiki:

They must have an account, *and* you must invite them to the wiki, *and* they must be logged in to the wiki, before they are allowed to leave a comment. There is no way to open up comments to the public, even for Premium wikis. – Guy Fawkes, on May 12, 2008 13:30

A comment on the question "google gadget on 2 web pages thinks it's the same gadget!" in PBwiki:

Really? It sounds like they're storing the data in the cookie, which means your notes won't be available from any other computer (which isn't a problem as long as you only work from one computer). – Guy Fawkes, on May 09, 2008 19:19

Guy Fawkes replied on May 09, 2008 16:22 to the question "Import mediawiki content into PB Wiki" in PBwiki:

The correct URL for the API is http://api.pbwiki.com

Guy Fawkes replied on May 09, 2008 15:15 to the question "Can you overlay an existing file?" in PBwiki:

It sounds like a browser cache issue. The user could try doing a hard refresh (Ctrl-F5) and see if the new file loads. They might have to restart their browser.
