Joel Franusic replied on January 28, 2008 22:03 to the idea "Customizing the Wiki Description page" in PBwiki:

Thanks for your feedback Stephen!

Joel Franusic replied on January 28, 2008 05:42 to the question "how do I unlink a page?" in PBwiki:

In edit mode, try and click on the link, then right click and select "Remove link". If that doesn't work, try selecting all the text in the link and then typing over it.

Joel Franusic replied on January 28, 2008 05:31 to the question "can you copy and paste images?" in PBwiki:

No, unfortunately not.

The sad truth is that modern web browsers simply do not provide a good way to allow people to cut and paste anything other than text into a web page. Paul Buchheit (the inventor of Gmail) covers this topic pretty thoroughly in a post on his blog: http://paulbuchheit.blogspot.com/2007...

That said, I'm going to look into this more on Monday and see if there is a way we can help you get all of your documents into PBwiki. Expect to hear from me soon!

Joel Franusic replied on January 28, 2008 03:43 to the question "how do you get a backround like a picture from the internet?" in PBwiki:

You sure can! Cliff has a detailed document describing how to customize the look of your PBwiki here: http://freewarewiki.com/ChangingPbwik...

Customizing CSS can be a little daunting if you are new to it, so please let me know if I can help you get a background image on your PBwiki!

lmh, could you forward one of these emails to support@pbwiki.com so that we can see what exactly is going on?

Joel Franusic replied on January 24, 2008 17:56 to the question "Can I attach pictures or video clips to my wiki?" in PBwiki:

Yay!

Joel Franusic replied on January 23, 2008 20:43 to the question "Can I attach pictures or video clips to my wiki?" in PBwiki:

Rose,

The problem might have been that you just uploaded the video to YouTube and that YouTube had not finished processing it yet. Are you still having this problem?

Joel Franusic replied on January 23, 2008 20:28 to the question "Can I customize a table of contents plugin so that it omits "heading 1" and only shows "heading 2"?" in PBwiki:

Gad,

As far as I know, there isn't a way to configure the Table Of Contents plugin the way you want to.

Have you tried changing the Heading 1 sections to "Normal" then setting them to "Bold" with a "Large" font size? I know it's sort of a hack but it does sort of solve your issue...

Joel Franusic replied on January 23, 2008 20:09 to the question "I'd like to install a widget from widget.dilbert.com, can I? How?" in PBwiki:

If you use the "Point and Click mode" to edit your wiki. A better way to use the Dilbert widget would be to use the "HTML" plugin.

To use the "HTML" plugin, first copy the Dilbert widget code, then edit the wiki page you want to put the code on. Click on the "Insert Plugin" button, move your mouse over the "PBwiki magic" menu and select "HTML" from the drop-down list, paste your code in the box provided, click the "Next" button, then click the "Finish" button. You should now see a plugin box on your page. Click "Save" and you are done!

Joel Franusic replied on January 23, 2008 19:58 to the problem "HTML plugin capacity" in PBwiki:

Seanmac, you should also be able to click on the "Source" button and edit the HTML directly from there.

Joel Franusic replied on January 23, 2008 19:54 to the question "Can I skype enable phone numbers on the wiki?" in PBwiki:

Jadz, I don't use Skype very often so I may be way off the mark here. Have you tried visiting: http://www.skype.com/share/buttons/ and making a button? You should be able to copy the code from the bottom of that page, click "Edit" on the wiki page you want to put the button on, click on the "Source" button and then paste the code into that page.

Let me know if this answers you question!

Joel Franusic replied on January 23, 2008 19:29 to the idea "PBWiki needs to support OpenID!" in PBwiki:

Chris, I made some progress on this last night! I have Open ID logins working in my development environment. I've got lots of bug fixing and some refactoring left, I'll keep you posted!

Joel Franusic replied on January 23, 2008 19:25 to the question "I'd like to install a widget from widget.dilbert.com, can I? How?" in PBwiki:

Yup! You can place the widget from widget.dilbert.com on your wiki. First go to widget.dilbert.com. Click on "CLICK HERE for today's strip" on the widget you'd like to use, click in the upper right hand corner of the widget where it says "Grab It", click "Embed", copy the HTML code that the widget generates. Now go to your wiki and edit the page you want to put the widget on. In the edit view, click the "Source" button. Now paste the HTML code for the Dilbert widget in your page and click Save. Let me know how it goes!
