| DEPRECATED. See GlassFishWikiFAQ instead. General questions about JSPWiki
Janne : We just basically look at the modification time of each file, then show them in reversed order. Currently the cutoff point is at 60 days, but you can see a full list of all changes at FullRecentChanges. Really, a better solution is needed, since if a page gets modified twice, it can only be seen once. This should be solved when we move things under version control anyway. Asser: I thought that you hide other modifications on purpose Janne: Well, I'll keep it then that way, even though we've moved to version control anyway. How do I delete a page?Simple. Just put a link to the page DELETEME as the first item on your page, and at some point the administration will delete these pages. Proper deletion support is available in 2.2. (do not use the normal DELETEME Link, because this page should not be shown in the delete wish list) What happens if two people try to edit and save concurrently? Last one to save wins?First one to save wins, the next guy gets a warning and a note telling that you should check what changed and try a re-edit. Where do I find the source code?You can download the JSPWiki distribution package, including a war-file and the source code from http://www.jspwiki.org/Wiki.jsp?page=JSPWikiDownload. How do I add a new Wiki page?Create a link that points to a new (not existing) page using its WikiName. Click question mark The reason for this is that linking between WikiPages is the way how people How does JSPWiki compare to other java based Wikis?I am pondering the possibility of installing a Wiki on a site I run. Well, I actually have already decided I will, so now I am looking at different implementations. My hosting provider supports perl, python, php and java, so I can really use anyone. However, since the rest of the site is JSP based I prefer to use a JSP based Wiki if possible. I'd like to know which are the advantages or features of JSPWiki as compared to other JSP http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiWikiClones. How easy is it to modify the editing markers, for example? --VictorJalencas PS: BTW, I have just seen all the RPC hooks in the JSPWikiDevelopment page... seems like I am almost decided http://www.jspwiki.org/Wiki.jsp?page=MahlenMorris: I hope you aren't expecting to get some sort of unbiased answer from the people who hang out here. Well, the reasons I chose to use JSPWiki over others were:
Since I adopted it, the XML-RPC server stuff that Janne put in has grabbed my brain and shook it like a wet kitten, inspiring me to start my first FreeSoftware project, Hula. I haven't even had time to implement some of my wackier ideas using that, but stay tuned. Plus, hey, Janne's been a joy to intercontinentally work with. So that's why I'm using JSPWiki. http://www.jspwiki.org/Wiki.jsp?page=MahlenMorris: One of my former co-workers saw this page in his install of JSPWiki and objected to being referred to as "somewhat naive and easily bewildered" by association. So, to be clear, I wasn't talking about him Why is RecentChanges very slow?Are you using RCSFileProvider or VersioningFileProvider? If yes, then the reason is that JSPWiki has to go and find the author for each page separately. Especially with RCSFileProvider, this can take some time. The solution is to enable the CachingFileProvider, which keeps a list of recently used pages and author information in memory. In JSPWiki 2.0 this is enabled via the 'jspwiki.usePageCache' configuration option. Would creating folders and subfolders for the contents translate into a hierarchy?No. JSPWiki uses an entirely flat file structure for pages. The different PageProviders may use subdirectories, but these are not visible to the user. This is actually a conscious decision: Wikis are flat by nature, and if you want to have a hierarchy, then what you need to do is to define the pages by hand. This is actually very useful - for example, see JSPWikiDevelopment for a page that contains all pages that have something to do with JSPWiki development. Dot based page names, and pattern based index/search could bring this kind of service : Yes. You can easily "simulate" hierarchies by using dots, but JSPWiki in itself does not limit the structure in any way. --JanneJalkanen See IdeasSubPages for more discussion. How do I see an Index of all the pages which exist?Go to PageIndex. It is in fact just a regular WikiPage which has just the IndexPlugin from AlainRavet embedded. How do I change the colour of the edit screen to something other than pink?The background color is determined in three locations:
Besides, it's not pink. --JanneJalkanen What is a plugin?A: Does JSPWikiPlugins answer that? If not, let us know. DatesQ: Is there a wiki notation to add the current date and time in a wiki page? ;:A: You mean like -(CurrentTimePlugin)? See JSPWikiPlugins for more information (such as how to format it). --MichaelGentry How to open links within a new browser windowIt is possible to have links opened in a new window by defining an interWikiRef like: jspwiki.interWikiRef.NewHttp=http:%s" TARGET="_blank Yes it looks dirty and may not work in the future. For now it works at least with the default template: – KarlHeesch Can subpages be made?Is it possible to make SubPages? I'm afraid this is a feature that has been planned for JSPWiki 2.4, but there has not yet been any work towards it. --JanneJalkanen How can I have synonym pages?In order to maximize cross linking, I would like to have some pages have several names (or at least appear to have). For example, being able to define that ThisCamelCaseLink and ThisOtherCamelCaseLink are actually pointing to the same page. This way if users type either of those keywords, this would create a link to the same page. In VeryQuickWiki, I believe it was possible to add a special tag in the page so that the user is automatically forwarded to the other page. I am not sure how to do that in JSPWiki. I see a very dirty hack using symlinks coming, but I was hoping there is a better soluton. --JC A: In 2.1 it is possible to say [
Unknown macro: {SET alias='OtherPage'}
|[
Unknown macro: {SETalias='OtherPage'}
] so that one page can be automatically redirected to another page. How do you handle unreachable page containing SET alias?How can you edit and remove it? A: You can type in the URL for edit in the browser's address bar, eg. http://yourdomain.com/Edit.jsp?page=... What's to stop somebody from blowing away all the content on a Wiki site?Q: I'm new to this, and I'm just wondering... Is there ANY kind of security that stops a malicious person who comes across a Wiki from wiping out all the content, simply by editing the pages and removing all their content? Q: Nope. None whatsoever. See http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WhyWikiWorks for a more detailed discussion, but essentially it's the fact that there are far more good-willed users than malicious users, and that restoring destroyed content is roughly as easy as destroying the content. If everyone could remove graffiti from the buildings with a flick of a wrist, we wouldn't have much of it. Actually, newer versions of JSPWiki do have content protection built-in, but they do also restrict the "good" users. Linking to UNC PathsQ. How does one link to a UNC path? IOW, I would like to do something like [Go To Location|\\some-machine\some-location] This just shows up as an unrecognized wikiname. Hovering over the link shows the following URL http://mywiki/Edit.jsp?page=somemachinesomelocation. I've even tried escaping the back-slashes. A: The correct syntax appears to be [Go To Location|file://///some-machine/some-location]. I have tested this OK with Internet Explorer 6.0 and Firefox 1.0. Note that Firefox, by default, will disable file:// URLs on pages from a network (http:, https: or ftp:) source, for security reasons. To modify this setting, type about:config in the address bar of Firefox. This gives you access to the config. Alter the security.checkloaduri value to false. – NigelCharman |
I like this current feature since it keeps the list more compact.
after the new link and you will get an editor for the new page.
