OpenID support is now part of my.pbwiki.com! Our support for OpenID may still be a little rough around the edges.

You'll need to log into your my.pbwiki.com account and associate your OpenID with that account before you can start using OpenID.

Be sure to let me know if you find any problems.

Hi there! I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.12 on Mac OS X 10.5 - I'm having trouble reproducing your issue. Could you give me a list of steps to take to reproduce this issue? Can you still reproduce this issue after disabling your Firefox Extensions?

Casey is absolutely correct. I actually used KeePassX while my other co-workers used the Windows version.

A free password management solution that you might want to take a look at is KeePass http://keepass.info/, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KeePass - I used this at my previous job and it worked great.

You should be able to share your KeePass file via your wiki, as an email attachment, or maybe even via IM. Good luck!

Good news everyone! OpenID support is coming to PBwiki very soon. I've finished my coding, all that is left is some internal testing before we turn it on for everybody.

This is awesome. Nice to see a library on Satisfaction!

Joel Franusic started following the idea ""Show all pages" feature: locked Yes/No" in PBwiki.

Josh, I think you meant to ask this question to the person who runs http://wasabi.pbwiki.com/

Please ask the author directly by sending an email to: discohero AT gmail DOT com

Joel Franusic replied on January 31, 2008 07:06 to the question "email message has "+" sign between all words" in PBwiki:

Sorry about that... in the meantime you can use the HTML plugin and paste a mailto link in to that. See http://personalweb.about.com/cs/begin... for informaion on constructing a mailto link (examples that you can cut and paste are on the second page). Stay tuned, we'll let you know when we fix the email link!

Joel Franusic replied on January 31, 2008 01:31 to the idea "PBWiki needs to support OpenID!" in PBwiki:

More progress. Our implementation now stores data in memory instead of on disk. I keep getting closer!

Joel Franusic replied on January 30, 2008 21:47 to the question "How do I find earlier versions/revisions of my wiki pages?" in PBwiki:

Tech, I've also had trouble finding the "History" link. It will have a more prominent placement in the PBwiki 2.0 design.

Thanks for the demo page! We'll be looking into this.

Joel Franusic replied on January 30, 2008 21:40 to the question "Customizing a Table - I have inserted a table into my wiki. The data inside some of the cells is wrapping around. I would like to increase the width of the cells in some of the columns. Can you advise? 2) Can I remove the grid lines on the table so they do not show up? Thank you!" in PBwiki:

Hiya Rose!

1: You can increase the width of the cells by increasing the size of the table (click on the table and drag the edges), or by right-clicking on a cell selecting "Cell" then "Cell properties" a window will open and you should be able to set exact widths on specific cells (and thus columns).

2: Right-click anywhere in the table and select "Table Properties", change the "Border size" to 0 and then click the "OK" button.

Joel Franusic replied on January 30, 2008 21:31 to the question "How do I end a level?" in Nintendo:

Hiya! I can't help you, but I'll bet that the owner of that wiki can. I'm guessing that you are on the poueptu wiki. If so, you can contact the owner here: http://pouetpu.pbwiki.com/contact.php

Good luck!

Joel Franusic replied on January 30, 2008 21:27 to the question "Google Map API key" in PBwiki:

Cindy, I looked into this for you.

To do this you will need to generate an API key for your PBwiki. After you generate your key, you will see an example webpage with some HTML for you to cut and paste. Copy everything between the tag and the tag. After you've copied that HTML, go to your PBwiki and edit a page. Click on the "Insert Plugin" button, move your mouse over "PBwiki magic", a menu will open, click on "HTML" in that menu. Paste the HTML that you copied from Google into that box. Click "Next >", then click "Finish".

This might not work in all web browsers because of the way that the Javascript is called. (It probably shouldn't be called from a BODY tag). Let me know if it works for you!

Joel Franusic replied on January 29, 2008 02:48 to the question "can you copy and paste images?" in PBwiki:

Well, I've looked into this a bit more. We don't really have any tools that could help you yet. However, we are planning on implementing some tools to help people import Word documents into PBwiki later this year.

As an aside: I put up lots of documentation on a wiki at my last job. Since it was a lot of work to include screenshots of interfaces, I found that being very descriptive worked just as well (and in some cases, better) than including an image. So instead of a picture of where to click, I would add text along the lines of: "Click on the 'Preferences button, a window titled 'Preferences' will open. Change the the 'Value' property to '10' and then click 'OK'".

Thomas, thanks for your feedback! I totally want this feature too.
