					<![CDATA[
						 <p>Many websites contain links to allow users to provide feedback. The best of these are fixed corner or side buttons that are shown on every page. This can be easily done in Wikidot and here is a quick tutorial on doing this.</p> <p>Obviously, a div can be fixed but the problem is applying it to <em>every</em> page. There are two possible solutions: either use _template but you will have to copy all code to all sections of the website or (as I have done), if you do not use one of your nav elements, put the code in your <em>side</em> or <em>top</em> menus.</p> <p>I do not use <em>side</em> so I have placed the code here:</p> <div class="code"> <pre> <code>[[image http://onlinecv.wdfiles.com/local--files/admin%3Acss/feedback-corner.gif link="start:feedback"]]</code> </pre></div> <p>And in your custom CSS, use the following:</p> <div class="code"> <div class="hl-main"> <pre> <span class="hl-identifier">#side-bar</span><span class="hl-brackets">{</span><span class="hl-code"> </span><span class="hl-reserved">position:</span><span class="hl-string">fixed</span><span class="hl-code">; </span><span class="hl-reserved">bottom:</span><span class="hl-number">0</span><span class="hl-code">; </span><span class="hl-reserved">right:</span><span class="hl-number">0</span><span class="hl-code">; </span><span class="hl-reserved">width:</span><span class="hl-number">81</span><span class="hl-string">px</span><span class="hl-code">; </span><span class="hl-reserved">height:</span><span class="hl-number">81</span><span class="hl-string">px</span><span class="hl-code">; </span><span class="hl-reserved">padding:</span><span class="hl-number">0</span><span class="hl-code">; </span><span class="hl-reserved">margin:</span><span class="hl-number">0</span><span class="hl-code">; </span><span class="hl-brackets">}</span> </pre></div> </div> <p>Then, on your feedback page:</p> <div class="code"> <pre> <code>[[=]] Any comments or suggestions are welcome. [[module MailForm to="{your-username}" title="Wikidot Feedback"]] # name * title: Name * rules: * required: true * hint: Required # email * title: Email * rules: * required: true * hint: Required # affiliation * title: Institute/Organization/Company # message * type: textarea * title: Message * rules: * maxLength: 1000 * required: true * hint: Max Char. 1000, Required [[/module]] [[/=]]</code> </pre></div> <p>Remember to change {your-username} in the MailForm module.</p> <p>And here is the result: <a href="http://www.havemycv.com/" >HaveMyCV.com</a></p> <p>If you decide to deploy this on your site, please copy the image to your site: I may change it and the design may no longer fit with your pages.</p> <p>Hope this helps, feedback welcome :)</p>

						 <p>I really agree with your definition of success : a wiki survives its creator/leader's leaving. At least his/her involvment as a leader, as he/she may remain a member.</p> <p>i agree with Spir :)</p>

						 <p>When I started my main Wikidot site, I intended it to be more of a website than a wiki. It is still that way today, though I have relaxed permissions a lot and now have a few trusted people helping me out. I still manage 90% of it though. So, keeping that in mind… that I am building a website community and not a wiki community, I'll answer the question.</p> <p>If I remember back about 9-10 months, I think I was more intent on finding out:</p> <ul> <li>How to make my site look better (CSS themes)</li> <li>How to let other people contribute by uploading files (so learning how the user account system &amp; permissions &amp; site members systems work)</li> <li>How to make an announcement/news section, that would show the most recent news on the home page</li> </ul> <p>That's about it, really.</p>

						 <p>Other solutions:</p> <ul> <li>Use comments, so that one comment means "beginner", two means "intermediate" and three means "advanced". Then order by comments.</li> <li>If the pages are small, add huge amounts of fake text in a separate content section, relative to your skill level, then order by content size.</li> <li>If you only have one page per skill level (you did not stipulate that there might be several), order by page name</li> <li>Create multiple accounts, then carefully edit each page with the right account, then order by updated_by (what d'ya mean that's not implemented yet… MICHAL!!!)</li> <li>Hack into Wikidot's servers, reset the clock and then edit/save each page so that its updated_at matches its skill level.

						 <blockquote> <p>Skill Level (by number)? 1 to 5?</p> </blockquote> <p>Every contributor has his/her own understanding of what is difficult and what is easy. Other stuff is easier for others. If a member tags his new exercise as "2", it can be "4" for others. <em>(edit: Pieter suggested page ratings in an <a href="http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-222410/challenge:listpages-by-quality#post-709059" >other thread</a>, that could be the answer for this)</em></p> <p>I'm not saying that I'm the best judge of what is difficult and what is not but at least when this is done by one person only, the differencies in difficulty are somehow related to each other.</p> <p>Of course I could tag the new exercises again but I can put them in whatever order I want by hand as well.</p>

						 <blockquote> <p>Listpages by tag, in order.<br /> For example : order = "easy, medium, advanced"</p> </blockquote> <p>Yes, I have thought of that but I want them to be in very specific order. For example, if I have "Easy fingering exercise 1", "Easy fingering exercise 2" and "Easy fingering exercise 3", they are easy to tag in a way that they are in that order. What if a member creates an "Easy fingering exercise", that I think would belong between 2 and 3? That cannot be automated and I'd still had to add it there by hand.</p>

						 <p>Well if you consider a wiki to be a website then yes it maybe stops there, If you on the otherhand define a wiki as the medium wich allows people to communicate in a way that stays visible untill the wiki is deleted (other than words that evaporate), than this has creativity: beeing the collective creativity of the users… JJS asked a question… the wiki could have delivered a creative solution… without the wiki as a medium I would not have been connected to jjs. So… question stays… what do you consider to be wiki?</p>
