If you are sympathetic to what this site is all about, an experienced Wikidot editor, and would like to help, please contact me.

Just a note: Many tech-savvy people philosophically favor open source everything including music and thus may take umbrage with the very thing I am trying to accomplish which is to stop the theft of intellectual property. But, I ask you to think about it in the case of songwriters. I make a lousy living writing songs. I love to do it, so I am going to keep doing it. However, if so much music was not being stolen these days, I'd actually probably be making a living wage. Many of my songwriter friends have just given up. If this theft keeps up—the music is going to stop. That may seem incongruous when you see Cristal-slurping mega artists in the media every day, but trust me, all the little people in the music business like the writers, musicians, recording engineers, etc. are getting killed economically because so much product is going unpaid for.

Would anyone be able to help me create a feature, which displays which members of my site are currently online ideally showing their photo and name?

If anyone could help me with this I would be VERY greatful!!

Thank-you

Today it was all well. Now I noticed it has a scroll bar. Here's my CSS, although I haven't touched it today.

I've been examining the source and I see no reason it shouldn't work. I was using w3schools tryit editor and setting a height in percentages works there. I haven't been able to figure out what the difference is yet. Maybe it has something to to with the positioning as it did with the side bar position discussed in the aforementioned thread.

I found several javascript solutions that dynamically calculate the necessary height, but since we have to iframe our javascript, it's a bit of a catch-22.

If the devs were to tweak the [[iframe]] syntax to support all of the attributes that can be assigned to an iframe, there might be a better chance to use a javascript solution. I need to do some more testing away from Wikidot to see if it might work.

The missing attributes that might be useful are id, name, marginheight and marginwidth.

Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeves other than to play around with specific pixel height settings to adjust an iframe's height? A project I'm working on would benefit from a dynamic iframe height.

The site in question if you need to look at the css.

Don't panic, but…
Provide your name.

I really think that this message is confusing. I would suggest different message:

You are not logged in. Please, log in to continue.

Also, I would like to say that I preferred Oops message…. It was more natural than Don't panic¹

I already know that some kind of title is needed… But, shouldn't it be just Dear user?
Even Surprise, surprise! is better than Don't panic..
:D :D :D

I am concerned about excluding from membership certain people that have an agenda different from ours. I would therefore like to be able to review and sign off on all new members.

However, the "system" at wikidot seems to provide that if an individual is already a wikidot member, they can join my site without me having a review opportunity.

Any way around this??

I was thinking of something similar, but I am not sure if it is possible. The idea is that when someone marks the text, a message pops up saying: Before you just copy the text and paste it to some other place, please read our license conditions. with the link to that page.

This is because I have found our texts on other sites on Internet (which our license permits), but without the link, or with the link to start page (which is our license infringement, since it is clearly stated that the link should be a link of the page from which the text is copied). When I complained, they told me that they did not see the license link (even though it is in the top bar, and on the side bare twinkling), so I thought that this might be the way to be sure they saw the warning of license conditions…

Is this possible?

I have a wife, two sons and a relatively large dog. Creating a weekly shopping list for this gang is a pain. So I came to this idea: shoppinglist.wikidot.com

Ok, anybody can just type in a few items, save the list and that's it. That would be your list and probably no use for others. So what's the point of this? The catch of the site would be ready-made groups that users would add and update. For example, if you'd like to make some hamburgers for the weekend, just [[include group:hamburgers]] (this group would consist of hamburger buns, onions, tomato, pickles, salad, minced meat and cheddar cheese for example), add some drinks, save and print. You just made a shopping list in seconds. If you don't like cheddar for example, just ignore it. The site would not be for recipes. If you have almost the same list every week, you could edit and reuse that.

Would you be using this kind of site? It wouldn't work if people didn't add any new food groups, they are what would make this a quick tool. For example just adding lines [[include group:lasagne]] and [[include group:hamburgers]] would give you quite a big list in less than 30 seconds. Plus, you wouldn't have to try to remember what goes into lasagne.

A problem:

There should be an easy way to add quantities without touching the original group (someone would like to do burgers just for himself and some other user would like to make them for the whole family and relatives).

The custom theme that i set for my wiki isnt showing up in Firefox, but is in IE.

Can someone help?

The site is spread over two domains - its original one and the relatively new Wikidot domain. The URLof the home page is http://www.barefoot.info. Adsense used to serve ads on every page when the whole site was on barefoot.info, with no problems at all, and still does on the pages that remain on barefoot.info.

Recently I have moved much of the content to a new Wikidot-based site with a custom domain (http://www.capnbarefoot.info), linked to the original site (and the home page remains on www.barefoot.info). The pages that have been relaunched on capnbarefoot.info have been taken down on barefoot.info, so there's no danger of duplication. But ads only appear on some pages. For example, they are present here : http://www.capnbarefoot.info/start and here http://www.capnbarefoot.info/crete:galiniplakias, but the majority of pages, such as http://www.capnbarefoot.info/crete:trahulas-and-matala and http://www.capnbarefoot.info/dodecanese:rhodes only serve up a Wikidot placeholder. Even more oddly, if I create a new page, typically it will show ads when published, then after a few hours they will disappear. (These even happened with the privacy policy at http://www.capnbarefoot.info/privacy-policy).
What could be wrong? Help would be very welcome.

Header 1	Header 2	Header 3

And here are the screenshots of the pages in different browsers…

Here are the pictures that are used:

Currently, i have 10cm of unused space on the left of the screen where my side bar was.

I have a question concerning templates. Imagine that I want escape to an item that I included in the general template of a category. The TOC, per example. Or imagine that I included a heading (+ Level 1 Heading or ++ Level 2 Heading) but in a specific article I want to avoid it. Is that possible?

Thanks

Can somebody who looks at that page and is not working on windows XP with Firefox tell me if they have these problems?

Here are a couple issues with checkboxes — one related to appearance (CSS?) and the other to functionality.

In themes with non-white backgrounds, checkboxes are surrounded by white margins. I'm thinking this isn't something I can change through CSS. Is there a way to remove those borders and keep the checkboxes vertically centered?

Here's an example of what I'm seeing (in the SimpleToDo module): http://wiki.grahamhillelementary.org/auction:items

In system:recent-changes, the default search range is "ALL". If I want to limit my search range, I need to select the parameters and deselect ALL. But usually I forget to do it the first time, and I wonder at my results for a moment.

It would be more elegant if "ALL" automatically deselected whenever any of the other boxes is checked. While all the remaining boxes can occur in combination, selecting any one of them should deselect "ALL", and vice versa.

Can someone help me with a custom domain?

This is what I get

(just an example) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Lister The table with a profile picture and basic informations such as age and family on the right hand side there

Is it possible to create this?

 [[module ListPages category="monster" tags="origin-*" order="title"]] 

Basically, I just want to be able to use a bunch of origin-fey, origin-natural, etc. and be able to create a list from those. It would be easier than putting every origin in the ListPages module.

in fact, server returns these header lines:

 Cache-Control=no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma=no-cache 

why so? it seems to me rather annoying.. :)

The email notification system here is horrible. Other forum sites provide ability to pick and choose SPECIFIC threads and choices of how often to be notified.

Also, I saw this mentioned in that discussion, it is really nice to only be notified once when a watched thread has been posted too UNTIL YOU VISIT THE THREAD.

And the worst part is - it's hardcoded in JS/HTML. How do I get rid of it?

It looks like a Wikidot generated error. Anyone else ever see one like this?

-Ed

The main one is toolbox.wikidot.com
I think this would be the ideal name for extras.wikidot.com but don't want to report it if it is being used (privately).

I whipped up a quick demo here:
http://my-wd-local.wikidot.com/blog:draggable-slideshow

I'd like to see if there's a way to do this without trapping the slideshow within the bounds of the iframe. I have permissions set so you can view the source of my page. I'm not sure if this is really useful or just a novelty at this point, but I thought it was enough fun to share.

'What is a wiki site' and 'how to edit pages' have both been changed to irrelevant content.

so what do i have to say about wikidot?

well, its simple! wikidot is the best web-service i have very used! its easy to use and very advanced. you can do pretty much anything, be it CSS, Div's, spans, or something as simple a making bold text. the great thing about wikidot is that you can make a website very fast with some simple code, or you use wikidots advance features and make something like a blog!

the service

wikidot's service is awsome. there constantly making new features, and fixing old ones. one of the best part is they ask the community for input, so you get what you actually want, the way you want it!

the community.

the community is part of what makes wikidot so great. if you have a question, they answer it almost immediately, and its so big, you get multiple inputs! not to mention all the cool templates, themes, and includes that are constantly being made.

When I preview this page, it shows the Name and Author columns at 200 px each and extends the remaining cell all the way to the right edge of the page. When I save the page, the cells shrink to the bare minimum required to fit the text into the cell.

This means you have to visit the wiki to figure out who said what in a given thread, which makes the rss feed useful, in that it notifies you when a thread has a lot of activiity, but not as useful as being able to follow along the discussion w/out visiting the site.

For example, I use my wiki forum (redvan.wikidot.com) to schedule games. A typical thread looks like this, via rss:

Who can play tomorrow?
Me.
Me.
Not me.

:) Now I have to go check the forum to figure out who "me" is.

Is there anyway to change the information provided by the forum feed?

I did some research and found pages such as http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=228103 but I am no html or coding expert so it didn't help me much.

This is my understanding of it but if I am wrong please inform me.

My site link is http://weedarr.wikidot.com/ and the images in question can be found on these two pages http://weedarr.wikidot.com/skinlistc and http://weedarr.wikidot.com/veh

If this can not be done then nevermind, any help is appreciated greatly.

but i can't seem to bold a block of text:

 **Important Note: The V6 cooling system is notorious for getting air trapped in the system. The air can be extremely difficult to get out and often times can ends up trapped in the heater core. One way to try and determine if air is stuck in the heater core… Sit in the car (running) with the heat temperature set to high and the fan speed on a medium / low setting. Slowly rev the engine up to 2000 rpm and let off. If air is in system, you should hear a gurgling sound coming from the heater core. I feel that air stuck in the system is probably the number one cause for people having intermittent warm / cold heat issues and should be one of the first steps taken to try and solve the problem. If warm air is coming through the vents sometimes, check for air in the system. The previous owner of my car took it to the dealer because of the heat issues, they said that most likely the heater core needed to be replaced. This was NOT the case and fortunately he decided against having the work done to replace it.** 

which is fine i guess i can do it line by line if i need to (kinda of a pita though) but the perhpase the Bold button (B) should be a little more inteligent about how it bolds a block of text

Thanks in advance for your help.

… help?

Tried to join the Website ya got but it would not accept my email addy.

I use hotmail. I'll try later!

I remember some hotmail issues a couple years back but thought it was fixed. It could just be the hotmail server was down for that instant and this is nothing. Will keep you posted on when (or if) the person tries again.

Site: http://typesets.wikidot.com/

Anybody with experience of developing Firefox addons are more than welcome to help out if they'd like to.

Also, if anybody has any similar projects of extending Wikidot then you can host those at extras.wikidot.com too (I will make you a mod).

Anyway, check it out and let me know what you think.
