I wouldn't bother asking, Vu. I've already been down the path of obvious checks with two pbwiki folks, and we took it about as far as we could (see some of the back and forth from about 15 days ago).
Thanks anyway!

A comment on the problem "Firefox compatibility" in PBwiki:

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.14. – Vivek, about 4 hours ago

Vu Nguyen replied about 4 hours ago to the problem "Firefox compatibility" in PBwiki:

What specific version of Firefox (e.g. 2.0.0.14) are you using? (Go to Help --> About in the browser to see)

bkengland replied about 6 hours ago to the problem "Firefox compatibility" in PBwiki:

This is consistent with what I found, and pbwiki was unable to provide a solution to me. However, as you discovered, you can use IE to do the work, and note that either browser on the Mac works fine.
Bye for now!

When you click edit in firefox v2 the page comes up blank - i.e. there is no text editor section. In internet explorer 7 it works fine. I'm running XP. The wiki I'm working on is: http://innofuture.pbwiki.com

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

A comment on the question "Wiki name permanently retired?" in PBwiki:

Guy, we've explained to you several times that we have employed aggressive caching in a lot of parts of the system and distributed wiki names as keys on a very large number of tables (Salesforce, memcache, billing, userDB, wiki meta) on various services that would make a guaranteed flush difficult. But I'm not convinced you actually care or even that showing you the underlying code and SQL and infrastructure would be helpful to anybody. I've asked you before, please stop harassing our team and our users. At this point you're just antagonizing everyone. – David E. Weekly, 1 day ago

A comment on the question "Can people comment without editing?" in PBwiki:

Any news on this? I see that the last action was a month ago. I'd really like to use this feature. I need to have non-writers/editors be able to provide feedback on the pages with out changing the page content. – msblibrary, 1 day ago

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

rfahey replied 1 day ago to the question "Folders: for pages, files or both?" in PBwiki:

This would be useful. I suppose at the moment you can just create a page in a folder and link all the files in this page. It would be easier if you could tag files though and group them like this also.

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

The tabs were misalligned so sorted that out....but I'm getting a new message now! 'PBwikiAutoUpdate+v0.2.exe - Unable to locate component .....The application has failed to start because LIBEAY32.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may help fix the problem.' Reinstalled version 0.2 but to no avail! – Seanmac, 1 day ago

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

The error message means it doesn't realize you have provided an e-mail address. My only thought would be to make sure you have downloaded the v0.2 program and make sure you have tabs in between each piece of data. – Andrew, 1 day ago

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

Andrew, I changed the SSL config. No difference. I also tried my gmail account and I get the same message 'Can't open directory xxxxxxxxxx@googlemail.com xxxxxx pop.googlemail.com 1' – Seanmac, 1 day ago

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

Try replacing the 1 with a 0 at the end of the email configuration line. It appears as though your e-mail provider doesn't use SSL: http://help.yahoo.com/l/uk/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/pop/pop-06.html Please let me know how you make out. I am not an expert on security, but with the exception of having a file on your computer containing your e-mail password, I don't think you are exposing yourself to any more risk than using MS Outlook. Someone more knowledgeable may need to comment. – Andrew, 2 days ago

A comment on the question "A great title? "The Catcher in the Rye"" in PBwiki:

Arg. This *should* be free and we have a change request internally (#682) to let users pick one of our preset color schemes for free that I assumed was fixed when posting without actually checking it. Sorry; we'll get on this. – David E. Weekly, 2 days ago

Arg. This *should* be free. We have a change request internally (#682) to let users pick one of our preset color schemes for free - I had assumed was fixed when posting on the other thread without actually checking it. You're right that this is not yet fixed. I'm on it.

Andrew,

I'm liking this, I'm liking this a lot. But .....I can't get it to work. Here is the content of my config file (with some of the content occluded)

I'n running XP here. By the way is this secure? I just thought I could be sending someone the password to my email address!! Are you planning to tweak it for 2.0?

Cheers,

Seanmac

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

I was under the impression that the v2.0 API was read-only, but that is not the case. I will work on updating the script to be able to work with v2.0 wikis. There are still important parts of the 2.0 API that are not yet implemented such as PutFile and DeleteFile, but the e-mail integration parts should be possible to write. – Andrew, 2 days ago

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

Thanks. I have a 2.0 so I'm out of luck. Nice work though! – thomasv, 2 days ago

Andrew replied 2 days ago to the question "Can I submit content to my wiki by email?" in PBwiki:

I wrote a little program that will automatically create or update pbwiki pages via e-mail or local files. I wrote this because it was tedious to make changes to MS Word and Excel files and then have to upload the revised file to my wiki every time I made a small change. I also wanted to add e-mail integration to make it easier for people to add content.

You need to have a v1.0 pbwiki site and an API key from PBWiki to use this program. It seems to work okay with my private v1.0 wiki, but won't work with a 2.0 wiki. You can download a Windows program or a perl script if you want it to work with other operating systems.

See http://fredwiki2.pbwiki.com/pbwiki-Au... to get more information.

This is really just a first attempt. It works for me, but there may be bugs so please be cautious. If you find a problem, you can let me know and I will attempt to fix it.
