    • Wiki links, tables and public comments

    Posted by jeffreyknipe posts: 4

    Greetings biggrin

    Sadly my first post onto these forums are going to be some hurdles I'm jumping at the moment. sad I'm purely working with the wiki, TikiWiki v2.3.

    I have three things, firstly, wiki links on images (like icon images), can this be done. For that same matter, can wiki links be put into tables?

    Ok second question, the following code is putting a question mark (to create page) next to the last word yellow. What am I doing incorrectly that the server isn't pushing out the correct code? (the absolute links are because of the first question.)

    ||{img src="img/wiki_up/icon-blue.gif" link="http://pharmwiki.tut.ac.za/tiki-index.php?page=Blue" }| {img src="img/wiki_up/icon-green.gif" link="http://pharmwiki.tut.ac.za/tiki-index.php?page=Green" }| {img src="img/wiki_up/icon-purple.gif" link="http://pharmwiki.tut.ac.za/tiki-index.php?page=Purple" }| {img src="img/wiki_up/icon-red.gif" link="http://pharmwiki.tut.ac.za/tiki-index.php?page=Red" }| {img src="img/wiki_up/icon-yellow.gif" link="http://pharmwiki.tut.ac.za/tiki-index.php?page=Yellow" }
((__::Blue::__))|((::__Green__::))|((__::Purple::__))|((__::Red::__))|((__::Yellow::__))||


    The last thing is sort of totally a different question. How do I enable comments for the general public. I have enabled them for anonymous but the comment button doesn't appear below the wiki articles.

    Thanks for any reply's on this, I'm afraid I'm a graphic designer who got roped into this because no one else in my office was willing to take on this challenge. And on a side note .... I really love the Tiki system.

    In response to the public comments, make sure the anonymous user group has permission to post comments (which is tiki_p_post_comments).

    I'm a little confused about the other questions, your second question seems to answer your first one, although I have to confess I haven't really looked at that code yet. So yes, you should be able to to link to wiki pages using images, but you'll have to use tiki-index.php?page=MyPage rather than MyPage. I think!

    Have you tried using the plugin {FANCYTABLE} to create tables instead, this might help you. I know regular tables do have some limitations and only display certain Tiki markup correctly.

    Hmmm ... thanks.

    I looked into the permissions, they are set that anonymous users can view and post comments. But the list of commands that appear below each wiki article aren't there unless logged in.

    Sorry for the confusion. The second and first questions are just linked. The first is really about internal wiki links on images and the second question is why the code is putting out an incorrect page/table.

    For now I'm going to look into that FancyTable plugin for the one issue. Thanks.

    Yes, just include the IMG in the link:

    Copy to clipboard
    ((HomePage|{img src=img/mytiki/mytiki.gif} ))


    Would produce: Image

    eek Who are you guys ?? Weird. No one answers questions from a newbie with out sarcasm or with out waiting at least a day or two. biggrin Thanks, I'm just so impressed with this community.

    I didn't find that image link feature in the linking or image documentation sections. Merhaps' someone (could be me if normal users can edit it) can add it in.

    As for the tables.... those spaces. That is really my own fault, syntax, always catches me out. redface Thanks for the correction.

    So the last thing is just to get those anonymous comments. I checked the user rights, they do have the right to add and view comments, but there is no link below the article for them to click on.

    Do you have the comments feature enabled? Are you using Wiki pages or Articles?

    Well, that was another kick in the head I needed. biggrin
    After you spoke about it being enabled, I systematically went through each config section till I came to the Text area section and found the Allow Anonymous Comments was disabled. I was confused because the commenting was enabled but only for registered users. Thanks. For now it's all a go. (Oh, we are only using the Wiki for this student research project)
