Kelly B. asked a question in PBwiki on August 20, 2008 16:00:
how do you add new users to a public-read/private-write wiki?Hi, we have prhistory.pbwiki.com (premium, education). We want public access for reading, but private for updating. I click on settings/users and add a new email address as a contributor. There new user gets the email, they click the link, it drops them at the wiki. They try to edit a page and are shown a two column login page: one side is asking for an invite key, which wasn't in the invitation (and which we don't want to use anyway), the other side is asking for an email and password to pbwiki, but has no link to make a new account or any explaination about why you would need/want a pbwiki account.
Tell me how to get this: I enter the new user's email address, when they click on a link in the message, they go to a page that says, "Howdy, to update the prhistory wiki, please fill out this form (login, pwd) and you'll have a wiki account to allow you to update, check your mail for a confirmation". Send them back to their email to confirm and then when they click on the next link in that message, drop them at the login page and allow them to login in.
Also, I noticed a place on the "Users" screen for listing people who have requested access to this wiki. What text do I put on my wiki's front page so that my users can just initiate the process of requesting access?
Thanks,
Kelly B.-

Rachel, I didn't intend to post this. Not really sure how it ended up here. I figured out what I needed. Thanks. -

And how long will 1.0 be supported? -

Thanks for your answer Rachel.
What about using the widgets used by pbwiki 1.0? For example, I want to hide the footer, move the sidewar and might want to use some javascript here and there. Is this possible in 2.0? Also, is 2.0 "production" code yet or is it still being beta tested? If it's not production, what is the expected release date?
Thanks -

Rachel, some do and some don't. I anticipate that most people who will do updating will have email. But if they sign up as updaters, it's very important that they do not receive any marketing from Pbwiki as a company. They need to be signing up with our wiki, not our host wiki company. Does that make sense?
So, I guess that's a long way of saying, we don't have to use the "invite key" method of allowing updates, but I'm not sure about making people register if it means more unwanted email. -

New wiki - should I use 1.0 or 2.0 for public release this August?We're just starting a new wiki (t's private now, but will be public once we get it set up just right). It's a premium, educational wiki. We're planning on making it public and publicizing it in early August, plus it will be part of a university class project. I haven't done any design changes and only have about 15 pages (mostly for testing purposes) in the wiki so far (so I haven't done much yet). Should I convert to 2.0 now or continue developing in 1.0 and convert later? If I develop in 1.0, can I still use all those groovy widgets I've been reading about? Will I lose them when I convert to 2.0 later?
Also, I don't want to convert it in the middle of a semester (unless there's some kind of security/serious problem).
Thanks,
Kelly B.
