Hi Robertm - is this wiki appearing in your list of templates when you create a new page? What information is not appearing?

Rosemary,

You'll have to ask the admin of the wiki to delete the file for you.

Good luck with your course!

I do not see an X...I am not an administrator. I am taking an online AQ course which is using a wiki. Can I still delete a file I uploaded? Help!!

Thanks, Rachel! I was looking for it in edit mode rather than view. Yeah!

Rachel Pennig replied on April 08, 2008 22:19 to the question "How do I delete an unwanted file from pbwiki upload box??" in PBwiki:

Hi Lizz - In 2.0 just click the "Upload/view files" link in the upper right corner of your wiki. You can then follow pretty much the sames steps as 1.0 to delete unwanted files.

Does this apply to 2.0? I can find it. Help!

Since most of the "workarounds" that we users use (and which PBwiki formerly allowed) were suggested in the old forums by actual PBwiki support staff, perhaps you might consider (if you ever create an FAQ for PBwiki) adding a section to your FAQ which clearly states these distinctions. It seems that just because "PBwiki the software platform" supports something doesn't necessarily imply that "PBwiki the company" does. But, since that distinction has never clearly and completely defined (before now), people have built wikis and communities around these features. A concise list of "things that, while they may work on PBwiki, may not work in the future" would be an excellent starting point. A "use at your own risk" sort of thing. Otherwise, you run the risk of "use at your own risk" becoming a tagline for the company.

"If I seem brusque, I apologize. I just get frustrated when I can't get a straightforward response to a specific question."

Understood - I feel the same way.

Let me go back and answer the original question that started this thread: "Can I put a blog on my pbwiki and if I can, how to do it?"

The answer is no - we don't recommend it because there are a host of other options out there that specifically cater to the blogging market.

Now, if you're looking for workarounds, then there are some options but you should be aware that we do not support them and we don't offer any guarantees that they won't break in the future as the product evolves.

Guy Fawkes replied on March 25, 2008 16:24 to the question "Having a blog" in PBwiki:

Well, it's personal for *me*, because it affects me personally.

I notice that you have made it clear that certain new beta features, like allowing access to the HEAD of a wiki, will not be available after the beta period. Unfortunately for hundreds of users, no one made it clear two years ago that CSS and JS access, which was, and is still, permitted in PBwiki 1.0, would be unceremoniously yanked in PBwiki 2.0.

No one wants PBwiki to "solve every single use case". But PBwiki has, whether deliberately or accidentally, supported several use cases which they are apparently abandoning with the rollout of 2.0.

If that's not the case, and you do still intend to allow 1.0 users to use the same features they've been using for years, then feel free to make a definitive statement to that effect.

If I seem brusque, I apologize. I just get frustrated when I can't get a straightforward response to a specific question.

Paul Singh replied on March 25, 2008 15:51 to the question "Having a blog" in PBwiki:

Guy: I'm not sure why you've taken this so personally. My intention was to make it absolutely clear that we've never tried this method here *at* PBwiki.

To clarify: We use a separate installation of Wordpress to power our blog. Our PBwiki product isn't able to solve every single use case nor do we portray it in that light. If anyone else would like to try this, head over to wordpress.com and sign up for a blog.

Guy Fawkes replied on March 25, 2008 14:52 to the question "Having a blog" in PBwiki:

I think everyone knows that I do not represent PBwiki. I just wanted to be clear that this feature has worked at my free and paid PBwiki wikis, so they wouldn't think I was using it elsewhere.

How, exactly, would I install Wordpress on my PBwiki, like you guys did? Can *I* set up a "blog.MYWIKI.pbwiki.com"? How can I use your solution like you did?

Besides, you guys wouldn't break solutions that people have been using for years, would you? That wouldn't be right!

Paul Singh replied on March 25, 2008 14:42 to the question "Having a blog" in PBwiki:

Just to be clear: We've never tried this method here *at* PBwiki (as Guy mentioned above).

If it helps at all, we use Wordpress for our official blog.pbwiki.com perhaps that might be something to look at in case Guy's workaround breaks when we go to 2.0.

Robertm replied on March 25, 2008 02:16 to the question "Having a blog" in PBwiki:

thanks Guy, I will try this. I appreciate your help

Guy Fawkes replied on March 25, 2008 01:34 to the question "Having a blog" in PBwiki:

Create a new page, then, using the Classic Editor, copy and paste the following code:

<script language="javascript">
document.getElementById('sb_qs').style.display = "none";
document.getElementById('sb_ra').style.display = "none";
document.getElementById('sb_sb').style.display = "none";
</script>
<iframe width=100% height=930 src="http://blog.pbwiki.com/"></iframe>

Replace "blog.pbwiki.com" with the address of your own blog (or any other web page!)

Robertm replied on March 25, 2008 01:01 to the question "Having a blog" in PBwiki:

I'm happy to read your workaround, but I think I'll need some help because I do no not have any experience in Javascript and all that stuff!!!
thanks, I'll give a try anyway..!
