A comment on the question "pbWiki is yummy but I want my own darnit!" in PBwiki:

This has some really great functionality which I have been wanting with Pbwiki..... Searching capability for uploaded files, a working and robust export facility. I'm going to have a good look at this – Seanmac, about 14 hours ago

Okay, that was already installed on my PC. I will do some more development and come out with v0.21 that includes that dll in the program file. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for trying it out. I'll post back when I fix that problem. – Andrew, 1 day ago

The tabs were misalligned so sorted that out....but I'm getting a new message now! 'PBwikiAutoUpdate+v0.2.exe - Unable to locate component .....The application has failed to start because LIBEAY32.dll was not found. Reinstalling the application may help fix the problem.' Reinstalled version 0.2 but to no avail! – Seanmac, 1 day ago

A comment on the question "Can I submit content to my wiki by email?" in PBwiki:

The error message means it doesn't realize you have provided an e-mail address. My only thought would be to make sure you have downloaded the v0.2 program and make sure you have tabs in between each piece of data. – Andrew, 1 day ago

Andrew, I changed the SSL config. No difference. I also tried my gmail account and I get the same message 'Can't open directory xxxxxxxxxx@googlemail.com xxxxxx pop.googlemail.com 1' – Seanmac, 1 day ago

Try replacing the 1 with a 0 at the end of the email configuration line. It appears as though your e-mail provider doesn't use SSL: http://help.yahoo.com/l/uk/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/pop/pop-06.html Please let me know how you make out. I am not an expert on security, but with the exception of having a file on your computer containing your e-mail password, I don't think you are exposing yourself to any more risk than using MS Outlook. Someone more knowledgeable may need to comment. – Andrew, 2 days ago

Andrew,

I'm liking this, I'm liking this a lot. But .....I can't get it to work. Here is the content of my config file (with some of the content occluded)

PBWiki Auto Update Configuration File
************************************************************************
Wiki Name: "oncallwikitest"
API key: "d2e4ee6eb8286de4a6494032115axxxxxxxxxxxx"

I'n running XP here. By the way is this secure? I just thought I could be sending someone the password to my email address!! Are you planning to tweak it for 2.0?

Cheers,

Seanmac

I was under the impression that the v2.0 API was read-only, but that is not the case. I will work on updating the script to be able to work with v2.0 wikis. There are still important parts of the 2.0 API that are not yet implemented such as PutFile and DeleteFile, but the e-mail integration parts should be possible to write. – Andrew, 2 days ago

Thanks. I have a 2.0 so I'm out of luck. Nice work though! – thomasv, 2 days ago

Andrew replied 2 days ago to the question "Can I submit content to my wiki by email?" in PBwiki:

I wrote a little program that will automatically create or update pbwiki pages via e-mail or local files. I wrote this because it was tedious to make changes to MS Word and Excel files and then have to upload the revised file to my wiki every time I made a small change. I also wanted to add e-mail integration to make it easier for people to add content.

You need to have a v1.0 pbwiki site and an API key from PBWiki to use this program. It seems to work okay with my private v1.0 wiki, but won't work with a 2.0 wiki. You can download a Windows program or a perl script if you want it to work with other operating systems.

See http://fredwiki2.pbwiki.com/pbwiki-Au... to get more information.

This is really just a first attempt. It works for me, but there may be bugs so please be cautious. If you find a problem, you can let me know and I will attempt to fix it.

I am loving the idea of generating a wiki from the backup zip. I would be interested in that. Tim can you let me know on this thread when it comes 'online'.

thomasv replied 8 days ago to the question "Can I submit content to my wiki by email?" in PBwiki:

I second the motion that updating via email would be grand.

The way I would want to use it is send an email to <wikiname><current name="true">@pbwiki.com with subject name <new name="true">.

After uploading, a link would appear on <current> (a page that has already been created in PbWiki) that would like to a newly created page named <new name="true"> (the subject from the email). This page would contain the body of the email as well as any attachments.

Would be killer for me.</new></current></new></current></wikiname>

I've done something similar with a Javascript implementation of what the OP suggested...a lot of creativity in here. :D – Vu Nguyen, 10 days ago

Hey! If you have a 2.0 wiki, check out the next page you edit - up next to the "Insert Plugin" button is a icon that looks like an eraser. Give it a whirl, and let me know what you think.

Casey Greene started following the idea "Filter search results with tags" in PBwiki.

Tim replied 15 days ago to the idea "I want Embedded variables/tokens in pages" in PBwiki:

when I've needed to do this on my wikis I actually used a div tag (and set its name/class) to store the data... div and span tags by themselves don't really mean anything, so this is the perfect use for them.

I tried adding jiglu to http://macewan.pbwiki.com , but it doesn't seem to know how to index PBwiki pages very well. – Guy Fawkes, 15 days ago

Come on, Sean, you know better than that. PBwiki doesn't *do* "timelines". – Guy Fawkes, 15 days ago
