New wiki almost ready, a question
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.

Re: New wiki almost ready, a question
Ah, I have just discovered the answer, in the wikka.config.php file:BarryK wrote: Does anyone know how to globally set editing of wiki pages to registered

This is for Wikka Wakka Wiki.
"default_write_acl" => "*",
"default_read_acl" => "*",
"default_comment_acl" => "*",
I just change the "*" to a "+"
These will be defaults, for tighter security, individual pages can be changed.
Hmmm, I'm abusing this "Announcements" section, posting questions.
The real announcement of the new wiki will follow shortly!
Deleting a page: http://wikka.jsnx.com/PageDeletionInfo
Adding admins: http://wikka.jsnx.com/WikkaAdmin
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.
FYI, more Wikka Wakka Wiki Documentation: http://wikka.jsnx.com/WikkaDocumentation

the wiki
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

Actually, you can just type it in on the address bar and it will say "That page doesn't exist. Do you want to create it" or some such thing. I find it faster than fiddling with the sand and getting dirty.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

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!

J_Rey,Although allowing unregistered users access is the norm for wikis.... Not sure why you'd want to require registration.
This was debated sometime ago. I don't recall clearly all the details. At the time, we were having security problems.
There was an opinion that only committed Puppians should be able to edit, and such people would be registered.
Anyway, this can be reopened for discussion.
Lobster is now wiki administrator, but I have access to the wikka.config.php file, which sets the default ACLs -- convince Lobster and he will request a change.
Does anybody know how I can disable the old wiki without disabling it?
What I mean is, I created index.html in the wikka directory, which has a link to the new wiki, and I renamed index.php as index-old.php.
However, www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/ still brings up the old wiki.
So, I renamed .htaccess to DOThtaccess to disable it, then the above url does bring up the index.html file. However, can't get the old wiki to work:
I thought that www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/index-old.php would work, but it doesn't.
sinceDoes anybody know how I can disable the old wiki without disabling it?
http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/
and
http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/index.php
displays the PuppyLinuxMainPage on the old wiki, anyone able to edit the wiki page could simply put a message on that page saying the wiki has moved, with a link to the new wiki page
Negative everyone
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 ?
