Wikidot Community

Hi Hi

Thanks Orison!

I find this random wiki interaction slightly weird, and humorous ;P

Thats a super cool theme on your wiki, best of luck!

Not sure what you exact need… have a look on one of our apps: http://community.wikidot.com/app:genealogy-template , you will see the comments as defined in the live template app:_template:

++ Comments

[[module ListPages range="." separate="no"]]
(Number comments: %%comments%%)
[[/module]]

[[collapsible show="+ Show Comments" hide="- hide Comments"]]

**Posting Window: click on ==>** [#Posting-Window at the bottom!].

[[module Comments titel=""]]

[[/collapsible]]

[[# Posting-Window]]

Implementing attributes as on http://www.wikidot.com/doc-modules:comments-module,
I don't see any difference whether I apply "true" or "false", the module loads the same and displays the same. Is that because I'm in admin mode?

I'd like the page to show "comments displayed, form hidden" when the user lands on the page.

I've done it on my own wiki.
Set the header's position to absolute and its width to 100%.

If you want an example of a theme that does it, check out 'one-line' by tsangk.

(24/04/19 5:33am) EDIT: Just as a note: if you're using chrome you can check how a lot of sites do things via the developer tools (CTRL+SHIFT+I). Each element has a style attached to it, that'll show you the CSS (if any). Keep in mind this won't be useful for every little thing, but it's super useful for CSS and HTML.

I'm trying to make a header that is "sticky" at the top of the page, similar to this webpage:
https://www.qualcomm.com/
I also want to make the content completely across the page. Is this possible?

is it possible to use a static template within a live template as I described?

I am sorry, I have no experience with static templates in live templates… your example is new for me… I am not sure if i can test it on the http://community-playground.wikidot.com/ ( if you want - try it! )

Hi Helmut,

Thank you for this, I've cloned it and it looks like this could be just what I need, which is great!

Just so I understand templates more fully, is it possible to use a static template within a live template as I described?

Many thanks!

I would give the genealogy-template.wikidot.com a try… (look in the apps) - you can clone the important 100 pages… All with live _templates.
The i fobox is good for articles or blogs.. Not a personal family wiki

Hi,

I'm new to wikidot and am I'm hoping to create a personal family history wiki that would include a standard set of pages that describe the people in my family tree, similar in layout to people profiles you see on wikipedia where you have a box on the right hand side of the page containing some basic information.

I'd like to ask if it's possible to setup the layout using a live template that includes a static template for the infobox part (the box of info section on the right of the example). I like the idea of using a live template for each 'person', so that they would all belong to the same category, that way if I needed to change the standard layout then all pages in that category would be updated. However, I'm having trouble including the infobox. I started by setting this up as a static template, using the "howto:set-up-an-infobox" guide on this site. Here's my code

[[table]]
[[row]]
[[cell]]**Name:**[[/cell]][[cell]]{$name}[[/cell]]
[[/row]]
[!--{$imageYes}-][[row]]
[[cell]][[/cell]][[cell]]{$image}[[/cell]]
[[/row]][!-- --]
[!--{$captionYes}-][[row]]
[[cell]][[/cell]][[cell]]{$caption}[[/cell]]
[[/row]][!-- --]
[!--{$birthDateYes}-][[row]]
[[cell]]**Born:**[[/cell]][[cell]]{$birthDate}[[/cell]]
[[/row]][!-- --]
[!--{$birthPlaceYes}-][[row]]
[[cell]][[/cell]][[cell]]{$birthPlace}[[/cell]]
[[/row]][!-- --]
[!--{$OtherNamesYes}-][[row]]
[[cell]]**Other Names:**[[/cell]][[cell]]{$otherNames}[[/cell]]
[[/row]][!-- --]
[!--{$spouseYes}-][[row]]
[[cell]]**Spouse:**[[/cell]][[cell]]{$spouse}[[/cell]]
[[/row]][!-- --]
[!--{$childrenYes}-][[row]]
[[cell]]**Children:**[[/cell]][[cell]]{$children}[[/cell]]
[[/row]][!-- --]
[!--{$parentsYes}-][[row]]
[[cell]]**Parents:**[[/cell]][[cell]]{$parents}[[/cell]]
[[/row]][!-- --]
[!--{$relationsYes}-][[row]]
[[cell]]**Relations:**[[/cell]][[cell]]{$relations}[[/cell]]
[[/row]][!-- --]
[[/table]]

However, this another post within "help:template" suggested that [[include]] won't currently work in a live template, but instead to use [[iframe]], but I couldn't see how I could pass the necessary variables through to populate the required attributes.

I have considered whether I could set up the infobox code within the live template itself instead. It seems that if I use this method then all rows would have to be displayed, regardless of whether I could populate them or not.

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

It certainly seems that wikidot owner just does not give a fuck any more. I saw that when I volunteered to help with the spam team… 2 months later still not even an acknowledgement much less access to the tool. That's the day I decided not to give a fuck about wikidots spam problem either.

Now the site is slow as hell and that contributes to a high bounce rate because people these days don't like to sit around waiting forever to see content like it's 2003 all over again. This is getting annoying as shit to sit and wait for a page to load that used to load instantly. And to see this across the board for all of my sites, as well as sites owned by others. And I often see the "database overload" message after a failed load… oh but there's no issue here. Pfft This just makes me think that wikidot is on its last leg.

Snippets is a good place for this kind of useful tip. Or, add a new "How To" since your solution combines 2 other techniques.

The "General Community Discussion" topic in the forums is where most of the discussions around new ideas and tips end up landing. I think "How To" and "Snippets" was intended to be the place to collect the actual details.

Here is something I came up with so that I can include section of a page without that page being unreadable:

Info-page:

[!--{$hide}--]@@@@
Page information that is never to be included on another page
[!-- --]
[!--{$var1}--]@@@@
+ 1 One 
First page section with information
[!-- --]
[!--{$var2}--]@@@@
+ 2 Two
Second page section with information
[!-- --]
[!--{$var3}--]@@@@
+ 3 Three
.....
[!-- --]
[!--{$var4}--]@@@@
+ 4 Four
[!-- --]
[!--{$var5}--]@@@@
+ 5 Five
[!-- --]
[!--{$hide}--]@@@@
other page information that is never to be included on another page
[!-- --]

Info-filter:

[[include info-page
|{$var}=""
|hide= @@
|var1= @@
|var2= @@
|var3= @@
|var4= @@
|var5= @@
]]

Call on info:

[[include info-filter |var = var2 ]]

This is a combination of two solutions: http://community.wikidot.com/howto:include-part-of-a-page-only-tricky-version and http://community.wikidot.com/howto:wikidot-includes:techniques

You can see this in action here:

1. The include: http://community.wikidot.com/howto:wikidot-includes:techniques
2. The page with the info: http://rpg-example.wikidot.com/conditions
3. The filter: http://rpg-example.wikidot.com/conditions-filter

Is three no forum topic or a web page we can share tricks like these?

I have only my mobile phone (on vacancy) . I believe i cannot help you in this case…
The experts are not always online today…

Hey Helmut,

I've tried a few new approaches, but still find myself stuck on this problem. Can you point me in the direction of which forum sub-section would be best for asking expert advice on this subject?

It feels like a Help topic, but I could see it under any of the following:

• Editing pages
• Themes
• General support requests

Or would it fall under Per page discussions instead?

That's exactly what I want, thank you very much!

The ListUsers Module should help.

It is your decision !

On the _admin page (/ see http://handbook.wikidot.com/en:public-or-private ) you decide if your site ( if you are admin) is private or not.

On Private site it is your decision who is member and can read/write on your wiki.

And: there are not longer old community members who have time to help you…

I do not believe that this is possible - even with the standard web 2.0 webmaster ( google statistics) - you can only see the IP address ( perhaps)
