Emily,

The issue is that you are using a 1.0 educator wiki. In that version of the product, those are in fact the only templates that are built in. You could create a 2.0 wiki instead, but many educators prefer 1.0 because they can use wiki invite keys (AKA passwords).

If you want to stick with your current wiki, go to the Template Demo web site, and copy and paste the desired template into your wiki, and tag it with the word "template".

Now you'll have the template available as a user-created template.

The demo site is:
http://templatedemo.pbwiki.com/

The Meeting template is:
http://templatedemo.pbwiki.com/Meeting

Hi Chris,

Please see below for what I see when I create a new page. (i.e. the only pbwiki page templates available are "classroom," "course syllabus," and "group project"...)

Is the "meeting" template (and others of its ilk) available only on business or paid wikis?

Hi Emily,

Are you talking about page templates, or wiki color templates (also known as skins)?

In terms of page templates, these should show up whenever you create a new page; the templates are listed in alphabetical order.

Mike, can you email me at support(at)pbwiki(dot)com so we can look into this more closely? Thanks. – Rachel Pennig, about 5 hours ago

Redundancy is good- it may lead us to the solution! Unfortunately that does not work.

A comment on the question "How do I create a link to a file I uploaded" in PBwiki:

Okay, I apologize for the redundancy, but let's try this step-by-step. So you have your file uploaded, and it's on your right panel and your page is in edit mode. Click on the file name (not the file logo). This should move it onto your page. Does it work? – Rachel Pennig, about 6 hours ago

PBwiki 2.0. On one wiki example file names I tried to link would be "Gary Roberts.gif" and "picture 1.png". On the other wiki I am trying to edit the Sidebar links. An example would be another page in the wiki called "everything that exists exists on all scales".

Hi Mike - are you using PBwiki 1.0 or 2.0? Can you give me an example of a file name that is not working? Thanks! – Rachel Pennig, about 6 hours ago

Rachel,
I am using Firefox v.2.0.0.14 on Win 2000 Pro. I have tried it in IE v.6.0.2000.1106 and versions of IE 7, Firefox 2, and Safari (I don't know specific version #s because it's a different comp than I am on right now) on a Win XP Pro machine, and Firefox 2 and Safari on a Mac OS X v.10.4. I have read/write access to one of my wikis and am an Admin/creator of the other.

The hard refresh does not work either.

By the way, thank you for your quick response!

Hi Mike- can you tell me what Internet browser and version you are using? Also, try doing a hard refresh on your screen (hold down shift while clicking refresh). Does this help? – Rachel Pennig, about 6 hours ago

Clif,

When I click on any of the files (or links) on the side nothing happens. Literally, nothing. I have tried placing the cursor in the page where I want the link to be and I have tried highlighting the text I want to be a link and it doesn't work. I have also tried right clicking the link on the side, to no avail. It worked fine for me during the first week or so of using pbwiki but now it no longer works in either wiki I am a member of.

Has anybody else experienced this problem?

Hello Eaaa,

After uploading, your file appeared in a list on the side. Just place your cursor in the page you are editing, then choose one of the files in your list.

The file link will appear where you placed your cursor.

What is and how to: Add a title or your name below and link it to a new page with your assignment?

eaaa replied 1 day ago to the question "How do I create a link to a file I uploaded" in PBwiki:

After uploading , my file was sent to a list just like the one Clif has shown. What do I do next? I'm getting bounced around in the "How to" department.

We typically host our videos on Blip.tv, but we've had trouble getting 1-hour webinars to upload there.

Suggestions on other services are quite welcome!

Hi there - can you ask your question in a new thread? That way, we can be sure it won't get lost! :) – Casey Greene, 7 days ago

I realy appreciated the helpful answer, I guess I'm not computer literate to do this an my doctor thought this was just what I needed, but what happened to all the "add this" now things I wanted?

A comment on the question "How do I create a link to a file I uploaded" in PBwiki:

Because you're using a V2.0 wiki, which doesn't have an "attach file" button. The "Attach file" area is over in the right-hand pane of the edit window. – Guy Fawkes, 8 days ago

Clif, in your graphic there is indeed an "attach file" button. But why is it that in my pbwiki, in the edit page, all the other buttons are there except this one?
