CSS customization is powerful, but not for the faint of heart. That was part of the reason why CSS customization was downplayed in 2.0 and we opted for a more standardized look. I assume you are using PBwiki 1.0 since you are trying to do customizations of this sort. Since these changes are typically wiki-specific, can you email me at vu.nguyen[at]pbwiki[dot]com telling me the name of your wiki and attaching your wiki.css file? I'll personally take a look into your issues. Thanks!

Thanks Casey - I had a bit of trouble finding the button as it was not in the tool bar at the top of the page. Thanks – Anthony, about 10 hours ago

Start using the wiki yourself and point people to it. In several projects I just switched to storing the information online. Gradually other people became ready to use it and started contributing.

I set the table width to a fixed size using pixels - which actually worked better than %. Not ideal because I must now go in and change table size on all the pages I have already set-up. I used a background border image with a centered table to give it the look I wanted.

How can I change the marging of the sidebar? I have tried and tried. I want to move it in from the right side.

Changing the setting on my bosse's screen is not a good solution because I want to make sure it will look good on everyone's computer without changing their screen.

Overall I am finding customizing our wiki (we have a full subscription / business wiki) not very easy. It has been mostly frustrating and complicated and has taken alot of googling to find obscure references to coding "fixes".

Tim, I've always enjoyed your work. This is awesome!

Vu Nguyen replied 1 day ago to the question "How can I set the page width so my wiki looks good from my bosses teeny scree?" in PBwiki:

Which version of PBwiki are you using? If tables are looking bad, then when you set their sizes, you probably need to use percentages instead of absolute (pixel-based) widths.

You can usually just resize your window to test what PBwiki looks like in different resolutions.

Vu Nguyen replied 1 day ago to the question "How to do folders" in PBwiki:

Currently, all files on your wiki are uploaded to the same /f/ subdirectory. There is no folder structure that can be inserted into a page; however, some people organize files on their wikis by linking to them in groups, such as in tables (one cell for each group of files).

Yes, I'm still waiting too. I love the look of wiki 2, and its features.

Sounds like a plan! I can't wait.

Gregory Dover replied 1 day ago to the question "AutoLogoff Functionality Needed" in PBwiki:

Excellent!

Here is a scenario we're trying to fix: We have sensitive documents in our wiki. As such, we do not want an employee to sign on to the wiki at a public location and forget to logoff. Having an auto logoff feature would give us some assurance if a user forgets to logout manually.

I'll add this as a feature request - thanks for your feedback!

Casey Greene started following the idea "PBwiki 2.0 Documentation" in PBwiki.

Casey Greene replied 1 day ago to the question "Consolidation of "Insert Link" list?" in PBwiki:

Hi there,
We have this as a feature request now, I'll make sure to add your comments.

I think you've got some great ideas about how to make this feature work, and I'll make sure they're heard.

In the meantime, I don't really have a solution for you, except to keep recently created/edited pages open in tabs on your browser, so you can grab the URL directly to make a link.

Casey Greene replied 1 day ago to the question "How can I set the page width so my wiki looks good from my bosses teeny scree?" in PBwiki:

Can you tell me what resolution your boss's computer screen is set to? You may need to change that setting to view the wiki properly.

Casey Greene replied 1 day ago to the question "How to add graphics to a pagge" in PBwiki:

When you're editing a page, click the "Insert Image" button.

You will be given a screen where you can upload the image (in .jpg, .gif or .png format only) to your wiki, or choose from images you've already uploaded to your wiki.

You can re-size the image, but make sure you have it where you want it in relation to the text.

Hi Becky,

I think we might have a bug! If you haven't done so already, please click the "Help" button at the top of your wiki so we can get this thing solved!

As Vu mentioned, this has been filed as a feature request, and we're working on implementing it. Thank you all for your patience.

Casey Greene replied 1 day ago to the question "How to do folders" in PBwiki:

We're working on being able to store files in folders, but this feature hasn't been released yet.

Thanks for your patience!

A comment on the question "Can I submit content to my wiki by email?" in PBwiki:

Okay, that was already installed on my PC. I will do some more development and come out with v0.21 that includes that dll in the program file. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for trying it out. I'll post back when I fix that problem. – Andrew, 1 day ago
