+ | ====== Q&A ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Please list questions about how to get the most out of the Coop wiki. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * **how do I move a page? And are there conventions we should follow to notify people when we *do* move pages?** | ||
+ | * cf https:// | ||
+ | * **how do I archive a page if I am unsure whether I should delete it?** | ||
+ | * cf z_archive namespace; rename pages to " | ||
+ | * **are there any tricks for making tables easier? (yes)** | ||
+ | * cf http:// | ||
+ | * there is a conflict between sortable tables (which we currently use) and the wysiwyg table editor - if there is enough demand, we can test the wysiwyg editor on our staging server for the wiki, and if it is _that_ much easier, maybe implement instead of the sortables plugin. | ||
+ | * **how can I get two column display on a page?** | ||
+ | * cf " | ||
+ | * **what are some of the macros and other extensions I can use to make wiki pages work better?** | ||
+ | * cf https:// | ||
+ | * e.g. https:// | ||
+ | * embed raw html (use sparingly) https:// | ||
+ | * "" | ||
+ | * there is a HUGE number of other ones at https:// | ||
+ | * **how do you do that slideshow trick?** | ||
+ | * cf https:// | ||
+ | * put '' | ||
+ | * **how do you create the Check boxes in list format (To Do list?)** | ||
+ | * cf https:// | ||
+ | * **There are two namespaces on pages like [[nnels: | ||
+ | * so to create a namespace you create a new page but with a trailing colon, like newspace: | ||
+ | * however, ideally you would create a new namespace by creating a new index [[new page]] first, like newspace: | ||
+ | * to create a new page, easiest way is to simply edit the URL and create a new path. Also easy to create a link on an existing page, then click through to it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====== Tips ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Removing a Page from a Menu ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Typically, when you delete the contents of the page, you also delete that page unless it has children. If a page also appears in menu, however, you can't remove it by deleting the content: instead, move the page to namespace " | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Subscribing to Wiki Changes ===== | ||
+ | Subscribe to parts of -- or the whole! -- wiki to receive an email when someone makes changes to pages or namespaces. To subscribe: | ||
+ | - Navigate to the page or namespace to which you want to subscribe; | ||
+ | - On the right-hand menu which contains the main edit link on every page, find the envelope with the scroll-over text " | ||
+ | - Choose your preferences and click " | ||
+ | - Repeat for other pages or namespaces! | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Limiting your Wiki Search ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | When getting too many search results, use the tricks [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Phrase search ("" | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can search for exact phrases by putting double quotes around a set of words, e.g. [ " | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Search within a namespace (@)==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can restrict the search to namespaces. To search pages within a namespace, prefix @ or ns: to the namespace. To not search pages within a namespace, prefix ^ or -ns: to the namespace. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For example, the query [ dokuwiki @wiki ^wiki:docs ] will find pages which contain a word “dokuwiki” and are within “wiki” namespace but not within “wiki: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note that you have to search a namespace (e.g. something that has a URL that ends in “: | ||
