Hi Clif,

That worked perfectly; thanks a lot. I modified it to repeat and tile. Now it feels like Christmas. :)

How to do this on v2? Can I just add code to the CSS & Javascript under advance settings?

I want to change the background of our wiki to an image. What would the code be I need to put in?

George replied on November 27, 2008 09:37 to the question "Trouble editing document" in PBwiki:

... unless your Word document has any kind of formatting. The wiki editor is fraught with problems. When you copy and paste from a Word document, PBwiki doesn't render the content properly and it looks horrible. Sometimes you cannot edit the content to look any better either. So much for WYSIWYG. Why not have an editor similar to the one on Wikipedia? It's much easier to use and gives true results.

George replied on November 27, 2008 02:39 to the problem "recent changes plugin now showing the same page multiple times" in PBwiki:

This apparently is a bug they are trying to fix. I have the same problem.

The recent visitors plug-in is also not working correctly. I have users who access the wiki and comment/edit, and they don't show up on the plug-in.

George asked a question in PBwiki on November 24, 2008 09:50:

Formatting comments

Is there any way to format comments, for e.g. italics, bolding, hyperlinks, etc.?

George replied on November 24, 2008 09:49 to the question "Editing Comments on the page" in PBwiki:

Users should be able to edit their own comments. Now the only way is to completely delete a comment or post another one. Not very friendly.

George started following the question "Can I add a folder inside another folder?" in PBwiki.

George replied on September 17, 2008 09:34 to the question "Preview before posting?" in PBwiki:

"Fairly" WYSIWYG doesn't quite get one there. For example, none of the plug-ins are displayed. And being such a basic editor, the displayed page often looks "fairly" different.

George asked a question in PBwiki on September 17, 2008 06:25:

Preview before posting?

Is it possible to preview a page when editing before saving changes and posting?

George replied on September 17, 2008 06:22 to the question "Is it possible to see traffic and statistics for specific users?" in PBwiki:

Any news on when this feature may become available? It would be useful to see each users wiki activity (articles posted, pages viewed, comments, etc.)

George replied on August 20, 2008 07:05 to the question "Can I customize a table of contents plugin so that it omits "heading 1" and only shows "heading 2"?" in PBwiki:

I definitely agree! It makes so much more sense. I've raised this question elsewhere, but pbwiki is ignoring it. How frustrating.

George replied on August 19, 2008 02:17 to the question "tabel of contents" in PBwiki:

Apologies. Was trying to search and it posted an empty question. I raised my issues in another post.

George replied on August 18, 2008 02:54 to the question "Table of Contents - numbering" in PBwiki:

Does anybody perhaps have a better solution for me?

tabel of contents

George replied on August 15, 2008 02:26 to the question "Table of Contents - numbering" in PBwiki:

I understand that, but I don't know why the TOC would do that automatically. Surely one would assume that any document that requires a TOC would already have a numbering system in place. If you create a TOC in MSWord, it uses the numbering of your document (linked to the heading formatting, which pbWiki also doesn't do--the heading formatting doesn't include auto numbering, so you end up with a document without numbers).

This document I'm converting to a wiki has 100 pages. Surely removing the numbering from the text section turns into one confusing mess, besides the fact that it creates an enormous amount of work--all because the wiki has limited functionality.

George asked a question in PBwiki on August 14, 2008 09:22:

Table of Contents - numbering

The table of contents plug-in is auto-numbering the headings. Why would it do that? I already have numbering in the document, now it's really confusing, and looks pretty stupid. How can I remove the auto-numbering?
