We are just tidying it up, before further announcement.

Does anyone know how to globally set editing of wiki pages to registered
members only?
This is for Wikka Wakka Wiki.

I was told this before also, but I have forgotten:
Does anybody know how to delete a page?

I don't have time to be administrator of the wiki, little things like the above chew up my time trying to figure it out. ...or remember what I already did sometime ago!

Does anybody know how to add another administrator, or if the wiki
can't support two administrators, to change the administrator?
The config file wikka.config.php has these lines:

"admin_users" => "BarryDavidKauler",
"admin_email" => "bkauler@pupweb.org",

so what do you reckon, can I insert another admin_user? ...since it does say "users", plural.

ACL info: http://wikka.jsnx.com/ACLInfo

Although allowing unregistered users access is the norm for wikis.... Not sure why you'd want to require registration. Question

FYI, more Wikka Wakka Wiki Documentation: http://wikka.jsnx.com/WikkaDocumentation

This is how you use the wiki
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/UsingThisWiki

This is is the new wiki
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/

Reregister names on the new wiki
During the transfer Barry has taken ownership of all the pages he has moved
(click on PageIndex to see ownership)

The owner is like a facilitator - anyone can still edit pages by doubleclicking

If you find a page missing on the new wiki then create it in the sandbox page and click on it to enter that empty page
then go to the old forum, double click on the page, then click in the text box, right-click, choose "Select all", then ctrl-C,
then go to the new wiki page (good idea to have it already open in
another tab), choose "Edit page" then ctrl-v.

You as a side effect of this process become the owner

Hope that helps. All help on moving the wiki much appreciated

good tip pizzapup (gosh I am naming you after your Linux version - I meant pizzasgood) many thanks

Thanks to all those helping with the move - good chance to improve some of those pages . . . Cool

Here is some more info

Created a copy of the PageIndex at goosee.com here:

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/OldPageIndex

You can click on the underlined (dotted) link to create the missing page. You can do so from the sitemap page too, it's not most up-to-date however (I think I last updated it a few weeks ago).

After page creation, ownership can be transfered by clicking "Edit ACL" at the bottom of page.

To see who hasn't reregister yet, you can compare:

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/OldUsersList
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/UsersList

Btw, Barry has done an amazing job in transferring the pages, he has moved HUNDREDS of pages in just two days! Cool

This should do it in the config:

"default_write_acl" => "!*",

! being the negative of * (everyone).

Could be useful also to add something to the name like "Now Transferred to puppylinux.org/wikka"

"wakka_name" => "Your Wikka Title",

Addition for Puppian: Redirection may have to be done later, maybe after one month, or wait until the server account expires (?).

Would the redirection be done automatically?

For example, if I go to http://goosee.com/puppy/wikka/AbsoluteBeginners

I will be transfered to
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/AbsoluteBeginners

automatically.

It would be useful as we have many links in the forum that link to the old wiki. If the wiki page has been updated, people will not see the most update content if they are linked to the old wiki at goosee.com

I think that can be done by adding something in .htaccess ?

Oh, that was the file you sent me, raffy, to do the redirection?
Will it work as Puppian asks?

Anyway, probably best to wait awhile before doing it.
