our terms of service explain .. you agree to provide the feedback and test results that Get Satisfaction may reasonably request during the Beta Period.
I can not comply.

A comment on the question "Any news about the Getsatisfaction "new interface"" in Get Satisfaction:

what a load of crap, scott, where does it say on this page, for example, that i'm using a beta service? and where does it say that my content and context within can be altered? i was forced to use this service by PBwiki, there was no choice, so all and all, 'using a beta service' is hardly an argument in this case. and by the way the new interface stinks, in my opinion – vangispen, on April 10, 2008 00:05

Hm, here's a very experimental solution.
Put this code on your SideBar page to make it work for every wikipage.
Put it on your FrontPage or any other page to make it work for that page only.

PBwiki 2.0 Edit / Insert Plugin / Productivity / Any Google Gadget, click Preview, OK.

<script>
PBwiki.init(function(){ Page.UserPrefs.initialize({
"hide":1,"modules":{
"module:folders":0,"module:sidebar":0,
"module:recentactivity":0,"module:addusers":0}}); });
</script>

all on one line

For the modules: you can replace the 0 (closed) with 1 to have 'm open by default.
Once a visitor has opened or closed a module the setting for modules doesn't apply no more: a cookie has been set.

OK, but isn't pre-filling/auto-entering input fields @ login screen another issue?
Well, whatever symantics, try this url to log out:

<a href="/?logout=1"
onclick="deleteCookie('Name','/','pbwiki.com');deleteCookie('Email','/','pbwiki.com');">
Log Out</a>

all on one line

Q: Is there an easy way to clear cookies so that different users on the same computer will be able to login with their own guest name when using a shared invite key?
A: Yes,
step 0) log out of the PBwiki Account (if this is the case)
step 1) log in with Invite Key, Name and Email (obligatory as for now)
step 2) when done there's a thing called log out button (top right), works on Mac & PC, any browser!
A different user will only have to do step 1 and 2.
You can put the action of logout (<a href="?logout=1">Log Out</a>) into a big clickable button in SideBar if wanted.

maybe the underlying PBwiki mechanisms see the pages as 'history' versions ... and the mechanisms are confused?

Don't be sorry. Just trying to help .. and getting things right .. and emphasizing some of the shortcomings (at this time, maybe in the future?) of 2.0 : )

Thanks for ur effort, Vu!
Good luck sorting things out, thanks to everyone @PBwiki trying to exploit 'new' standards and thanks for the info on <object> tags.

it wasn't me

vangispen replied on April 06, 2008 19:05 to the question "Integrating PBWiki into my current website" in PBwiki:

There is no publicly-available facility to integrate your wiki with your website.
The 'wikilet' feature (only for 1.0 wikis, no support yet in 2.0) lets you extract the content of a wikipage in various ways. Do a search at The Daily Peanut, official blog of PBwiki for 'wikilet' to find the gory details ...

To start: put this code on your website

<script src="http://YOURWIKI.pbwiki.com/PAGETITLE?raw=js&width=0&height=0"></script>

all on 1 line, of course
Beware, to allow everyone to see the 'embedded' content your wiki needs to be public. In this case this might not be a good solution. You'll have to upgrade to protect your wikis content!

vangispen replied on April 04, 2008 20:13 to the question "iframe in pbwiki" in PBwiki:

Hu? Isn't that controlled by the source which is displayed in the iframe? Probably it says open links in new browser window ... If you have control over the source of your iframe's content you could change it over there. Else you're in bad luck.

Hu? Dismayed 'cause you get a paid feature for free? Hahaha!

vangispen marked one of Adrexia's replies in PBwiki as useful. Adrexia replied to the question "Is the Classic Editor supported in PBwiki 2.0?".

vangispen replied on April 02, 2008 02:13 to the question "Cutting and Pasting" in PBwiki:

Uh, my experience with 2.0 is a little different. With the above mentioned procedure the source code gets filled with a lot of unnecessary (WT* is happening?) styling code. Maybe it's better to use Vu's (where is that topic?) way of handling this:
#1 copy and paste into plain-text editor
#2 copy again and paste into your wikipage.
This will get rid of the unnecessary formatting. You will have to redo formatting if wanted.
Trying to copy and paste formatted text is unknown territory ... (again, where is that topic...)

Ouch.. and all this just to .. you paid for it, hu? Benefit!
hanging in there. . Anyone told you it was gonna be easy?

vangispen replied on April 01, 2008 20:55 to the question "Removing borders from a table" in PBwiki:

You purchased a 'silver edition with CSS editing'. Which means you can upload your own wiki.css that will overwrite default skins with custom css.
You have to make your own custom wiki.css file and upload that to the file directory of your wiki. You only have to make declarations for things you wanna change.

Where to start?
tip #1 Use Firefox browser and get the Web Developer extension. With this combo it's real easy to view various components of a wiki page.
tip #2 Download the CSS stylesheet(s) used on your wiki. View source and look for <link rel="stylesheet" href=... to get the url's. Study 'm.
tip #3 2.0 style sheets are hard to read: copy all css code to a plain-text editor, do a find for } and replace with }return (or the like), this will make it easier.

Good luck!
