wiki.friendi.ca now got a WYSIWYG editor (link to plugin). Please let me know if there is any problems with the editor.

It can be deactivated by the user, but seems to be default. So please don't hit me if you love wiki syntax so much, just switch the WYSIWYG editor off.

When you now start editing a page it will look like this:

When you click the marked button you will get back to the page view, i.e. this:

If you then edit the page again you'll have back the much loved wiki syntax editor, i.e. this:

If you want to switch again you can click the red marked button again, see above.

I hope that this will help the average Joe to edit/create a page, so it hopefully lowers the entry threshold.

Please share this information/post along so it reaches the users who like the code editor more. 😉

I am not sure if this works for very complex wiki pages, it sounds pretty well and should support all the syntax, but please keep an eye on the formatting and such when you use the editor.

Thanks for that! It's always good to have various ways to edit! (I way too often forget about DW's syntax...)

Just some small nitpicking: Can we get other colors for the buttons? Especially the red font is a bit annoying. It should be in css.php:

.button,
.uinstall {
 background-color:#eee;
 color:red;
}

@vinzv will check if there is a setting for it.

Utzer,

Merci!
Merci!

You just made my role as migrated wiki pages formatter a lot easier.

I'll post any questions that might come up.

Danka!

First question came up😀

I came across some text:
See [BBCode tags reference](help/BBCode) page to see all what you can do.

The text in side the brackets is the text we read. This I get.. The text inside the parentheses, this is the link that we want the people to visit if they need more information.

The wiki content is coming form a friendica installation, form what I understand.

The text:

(help/BBCode)

Where do we point this then? We are no longer on a friendica install?

I have yet another question!
<img src="doc/img/diabook.png" width="308" height="42" alt="diabook" >

I see that it is grabbing an image file from a location on the same server.
Does the <img src= ... > just tell the wiki to get the image at that location? the width/height (pixels???)

IT is not working, so does this mean that the icons are located in the help section of each friendica node, but not on the wiki? If yes, then we need to move them😀

Does this same syntax work in doku wiki?

Thanks

Joseph

@Joseph Hogan I am not sure about this two questions. I am not sure what was the idea here, maybe that is something that @Tobias can answer?

Also @Ingo Lantschner is still wondering if he can jump in and start editing. I think he should go ahead, if he improves the content it is fine, if the content is not yet in wiki syntax he can do it or someone has to do it later. Right?

@Admin Istrator ok, I wasn't sure about this incompatibility, it sounded quite well.
So what are the tags we use, are there any precautions to avoid such problems? Bootstrap has to do with the theming of the wiki?

@Admin Istrator there is some settings that might help to lower the risks or help with recovery in case of problems.

plugin»ckgedit»editor_bak
Save backup to meta/<namespace>.ckgedit


and

plugin»ckgedit»dwedit_ns
Comma separated list of namespaces and/or pages where ckgedit automatically switches over to the native DokuWiki Editor; accepts partial matches.


If we have certain namespaces that use this special tags.

Thanks @Admin Istrator and @Tobias

OK, so this text is HTML is NOT allowed in the Doku Wiki.

Where can I get the images? Just copying therm off he help pages?

I'll look atit and see what I find.

And to add this @Joseph Hogan the goal seems to be to rebuild the same page in the wiki than what it looks like in /help now. So you should upload all the files that are usually loacted on each Friendica server to the wiki. As Admin and Tobias write.

Ultimate goal, create the same page in the wiki, same looking as in the /help section of each Friendica server.
