Re: templates - Nothing working

no_email@example.com (drewid) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:33:32 GMT

That's the one the autoinstaller on the webhosting service plonks on by default. So that's the first thing to try then.

templates - Nothing working

no_email@example.com (drewid) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:04:01 GMT

I've just set up DokuWiki on my webhosting account (DokuWiki 2009-02-14b) but when I try to install templates (I've tried a couple) I lose pretty much all formatting.

It's hard to see where I might be going wrong. I'm unpacking the tar files into the right place, the directories are appearing and seem to be fully stocked.

I've no idea where to start looking for the problem so any pointers would be appreciated.

Feature Request: Table with filter capabilities

no_email@example.com (cakoolen) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 10:23:10 GMT

Hi all,

I'm rather new here so please excuse me if I am in the wrong place. I have tried to search your forum and the plugin list but I could not find a simular request.

I would like to create a tables with a filter in my dokuwiki pages. The goal is to mimic the filter function from excel in my dokuwiki tables. I think it should be possible because I have found a javascript to do so. This link will lead to the page where I have found the javascript capability

http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/tablefilter.sh…

I would like to have these functions in a Dokuwiki plugin. Is there somebody out there who can help me out?

Kind regards,
Cees

I'm not sure if you understood how the emulated headlines work? If you take a look at the example screenshot [http://www.dokuwiki.org/_media/plugin:wrap_plugin_example2…], the actual "headers" reading "Emulated Big Headline" and "Emulated Small Headline" under "Columns and Floats" *are* those emulated headlines.

Great if the include plugin solves your problem.
The real solution would be of course if DokuWiki supported headlines in every kind of plugin syntax.

Custom interwiki icon not displayed

no_email@example.com (mforkel) — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 09:12:37 GMT

Hello,

I followed the description in InterWiki Links to setup a custom interwiki shortcut. Unfortenately, the icon I placed in the lib/images/interwiki directory is not displayed. I tried to clear the cache, but there are not GIF or PNG files in /data/cache/*/.

Thanks for your help,

My dformat is %Y-%m-%d, I am in GMT+1.

Another solution: set your time zone to GMT+25

ryan.chappelle

Hehey! Thank you Ryan, this worked out for me!

The include feature lowers header levels, but this is not a big deal. Now i've got exactly what i needed.

ach

Well, of course i can manage without real headers in TOC.

But your logic works this way: i can also manage without DokuWiki. Write my documentation in text files and distribute them via a corporate e-mail group. No headers problem, no server/engine configuration trouble, lots of time and effort saved.

Or i can go even further and do documentation in paper. Good old paper! Manuscripts don't burn, you know. Mostly no worries about backup and unauthorized access — just keep the papers locked.

I have set myself a number of requirements, aimed at raising the result to a certain level of efficiency, practicalness and convenience. I met an unfortunate problem with one of minor requirements. But i was persistent and (thanks to ryan.chappelle) found a graceful solution that fully meets the requirements.

So the answer to your question is: yes, i can live without dam' headers, but why should i?

here is what I have:
1. a totally closed site hosted on linux at home, using the latest dokuwiki, via https
2. monobook template

here is my problems:
want to have something like following, with menu and submenu with more descriptive names (not just short, lower-case namespace names), as in wiki:navigation page, but i don't know how to make menu (tried indexmenu, indexment2, navi, all used namespace for menu items, not pretty)

Why exactly is that no solution? Can't you live with something that looks like headers (and comes semantically close to them)? Do you need actual headers?

indexer.php appears not to finish

no_email@example.com (treesloth) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:53:52 GMT

I noticed that I couldn't seem to search my little wiki for some reason. So, I tried indexing using the non-debug version of the indexer found here. I'm not entirely sure what to expect. Is anything supposed to appear on the screen? It just sort of goes blank without any apparent activity. Something must have happened-- the search now works, so I'm prepared to live with the blank page-- but I'm wondering what I should expect.

Update:

So, I found this forum entry, which seems to indicate that this is, in fact, the correct behavior. Reading the code of indexer.php supports that. I must have typo'ed the first time I searched the forums and missed that thread. Anyway... That seems like strange behavior-- a message like "Indexing finished successfully" seems more useful-- but I really don't care too much if the search works.

no_email@example.com (ryan.chappelle) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:12:00 GMT

If you want "a simple float with headers", the best option that makes it easily manageable via the wiki itself is to use the include plugin and style the call appropriately (float it, etc). This will in particular solve the issue of the headers, since the contents of the included page (your sidebar or navigation) will be seamlessly managed and integrated by DokuWiki itself (as it should) and you won't have to meedle with it (that much).

Yes, I am accepting cookies. There is a CMS (Website Baker) installed, however the wiki is residing outside of it and there aren't any .htaccess files that might screw things up somehow. There is also nothing in the error log.

Hi!

no_email@example.com (treesloth) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:48:05 GMT

Hello to all. My name is Andrew, and I'm starting to learn about Dokuwiki. I needed a nice way to save and distribute scripts to people that can't use a repository, but it looks like this is going to be a lot more than a code distribution system. Most of what I do deals with analysis of server performance for a web hosting company, and the scripts are used to support that. I like math, scripting, playing with magnets in meetings, and teaching my 1-year old niece to persecute the cat.

Can't Log In

no_email@example.com (TenaciousC) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:23:27 GMT

I have set up DokuWiki on a local Win2K3/Apache machine. During install, I set the ACL to "Public Wiki". When I log in, it takes me back to the main page, however I am not logged in (and don't receive any error messages). I am 100% positive my username and password are correct. The only way for me to be able to create pages is if I set the ACL to "Open Wiki" (which will not work for my purposes).

After doing ?do=check, this is what I get:

no_email@example.com (lolmaus) — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:31:19 GMT

Hi!

The Goal

My wiki's start page contains welcome to users, introduction to wiki basics, that kind of stuff.

On the start page, i want to have a big custom sidebar. It would serve as a navigation menu and a thoughtfully composed table of contents.

Attempt 1:

The tag appears to be the most graceful solution. I've created a custom css class with .width: 45%; padding-left: 5%; float: right; background: #fff; and set it to wrap my table of contents.

It was exactly what i want. The problem is that DokuWiki won't let me have headers inside markup tags, and is not an exception.

Wrap plugin page suggests using bold+underline to bring out tags, which is of course not a solution for me.

Attempt 2:

I substituded with

" right before itself, tearing what's below itself off the sidebar.

I tried substituting DokuWiki headers with html ones, but this is a terribly ungraceful solution. The text below html headers doen't get indented, whereas the header itself does.

Attempt 3: a Sidebar Template

I tried using a sidebar template. I din't like Actic because it's fixed with and lacks the elegance of DokuWiki default theme. So i chose the navigation template.

The template has really noble goals and it serves them really well.

My problem is that i don't need a sidebar on every page! After a painful period, i finally adopted the nirvana of Dokuwiki's simple approach to navigation.

Moreover, my sidebar's table of contents is gonna be really big. If i have it on every page, it's gonna be longer than most pages' contents.

Miserable Failure

So i tried mostly everything and everything failed.

I can think of other solutions of course:

coding the sidebar's contents in html/css without using DokuWiki markup;

using a plugin to embed a separate page to the start page and apply the float css to it's div.

But come on! Do i really need to install plugins, make page embeds (raising caching issues probably) or wasting time with oldschool html — just to have a simple float with headers?

The question is as follows:

Is the situation really that bad? No graceful solution to such a small problem?

Hi,

I was running i Release 2009-02-14, and recently upgraded to Release 2009-12-25c, and it looks like Dokuwiki not doesn't honour my additions to mime.conf. Here is what I added some time ago, but now, when I try to upload a .vsd, .xlsx or .docx, media manager tells me that the upload is denied because this extension is denied.

docx !application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document xlsx !application/application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet pptx !application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.presentationml.presentation vsd !application/vnd.ms-visio
I checked the ChangeLog and I didn't find anything related to a change of processing of mime/extensions. Did I miss something?

Regards,

Ugo

Mumbling...

In the JavaScript framework of DokuWiki, adding an event is
easy, but removing an event is difficult.

In this case that event uses explicitly declared function, so
we can easily identify what is the event to be removed. However
when an event is registered with anonymous function, that is
difficult to remove. I'd like to know a better way to handle it.

Dokuwiki is running standalone, so not "within" WordPress. Only at login the WordPress user table is accessed through the authentication module.

Re: Custom Header on Monobook Template to Integrate in Existing Website

no_email@example.com (Andreas) — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 23:17:56 GMT

First rating: This should be possible at all. I can really imagine that you ran into trouble with the tabs using your sandwich cause most of the containers are floating... and therefore it may not that easy to get something displayed at the top followed by the tabs without some CSS skills . Adiditionally, MediaWiki's monobook styles are not intuitive at all - and monobook for DokuWiki is using them.

this didnt work as the tabs on top do weird things and dont seem to follow the
.

This is not "weird" - It is CSS (wich is not as easy as most people think when it gets into positioning and floating... and knowing the cascase - the first C in CSS.).

I may help you some day with your problem... what is your timeframe for realization? Cause I don't have any time the next 7 days...
