> This comes out looking okay, the problem is I want the players to be able to edit the PC portion of the pages. Is there a way to "include" a page w/ specific permissions? Or some way I can make it so the PCs can only edit the specific portion of thier page? Otherwise having the "GM Stuff" be invisible is kind of pointless, as when the PCs go to edit the page, it's all right there.

Currently wiki pages are edited "all or nothing" but section edits will be introduced in Tiki 1.10, I believe, maybe coming before the end of the year. Whether we will be able to give unique edit permissions to separate sections on one page or not, I don't know.

For now, the edit perms covers the whole page, so one of your PMs could delete/alter the GM stuff, or the links to GM pages, etc.

There is an INCLUDE plugin, that enables you to include one wiki page in another (of course only the wikitext of the included page appears, not all the side columns, etc.) This plugin is in the lib/wiki-plugins-dist/ directory and must be moved to the lib/wiki-plugin/ directory to be used. This provides a possible way to do what you want to do. I did something similar for a Tiki site, but it's a rather nasty procedure.

That site has "composite pages" that are essentially assembled from "component pages". Only admins (or GMs in your case) can edit the component pages. Sections of those pages that are to be edited by lower-rank members are actually INCLUDEd pages. There is an edit link manually added for each included component page that the lower-rank (maybe PM in your case) member can click to edit that section (which is of course actually a separate page).

When the PM submits the edit, the page, which would normally refresh to show the component page only, instead goes through an Apache redirect to have the composite page displayed instead ("requests for component_page_one are to be responded to with composite_page_one"). See, I told you it was nasty. Unless you're very impatient and masochistic, it might be better to wait and see if Tiki 1.10 meets your needs.
