[Phpwiki-talk] wiki + blog and lots of newbie questions

[dmitry m <dmi...@ho...>]

Hello ladies and gentlemen. I've just installed phpwiki a few hours ago. I 
was wondering if you could answer a number of questions that turned up. I do 
apologise if they are covered elsewhere, I tried my best to find them.


My primary intention for this thing is to use it as a blog/wiki. This 
http://the.taoofmac.com/ is pretty much spot on what I want to end up with 
(wiki + blog, thanks google! :)

It seems like most of the components are there, I just have to figure out 
how to put them together.

Basically I want one of the wiki entries to emulate MovableType/B2 interface 
in a way. I want a calendar, links to archive, and perhaps the topmost post.

I've created a DmitryBlog entry, and used Calendar plugin. First thing I 
noticed is that the <?plugin?> clause must be on a line by itself.  That 
will make it hard to have a least some rudimentary formating. Am I missing 
something?

Also,  WikiWeblog plugin acts more like a "comment" form if anything. I also 
couldn't get Comment plugin to go.

Is it possible to make some wikipages private (i rememeber seeing that 
permissions are coming soon).

What do you think, is it feasible to use phpwiki in this way without 
introducing major code changes?

Thanks in advance.
-D

The Comment plugin doesn't give a add-a-comment-to-this-page
functionality, instead it gives you comments in your wiki markup.

So if you want to write something in the wiki source of a page that
shouldn't show up in the rendered HTML, then do

  Normal text.

  <?plugin Comment
  !!! Hidden Section

  This text is only seen when editing the page.
  ?>

  Normal text.

Maybe the name of the plugin should be changed to Hide, InvisibleText,
MarkupComment, or something similar? But then, that would disrupt old
wikipages that happen to use the old name, so perhaps this isn't such
a good idea.

BTW: I'll add a new AddComment plugin soon, as soon as I get the sf.net 
demo problems to disappear.

This will be similar to the snipsnap or twiki comment feature or our 
WikiBlog, with different layout and wider permissions.
