Wikidot Community

I have sent a PM to one of the developer.
Thanks for remarking !

Hi

I have seen this error "Couldnt connect to host, ElasticSearch down?" as well this morning.
Is someone looking after this issue?

Search is now having a new error "Couldnt connect to host, ElasticSearch down?"

Thanks Ed for your reply.

To be clear (and so others can benefit) my issue and the solution was not related to date formatting. It was solved by separating the page into a "display" area and a "form" area using the ==== separator. See my earlier post

I am not sure if this is okay today ( I had never a custom domain in usage… ) but have a read on our howto: http://community.wikidot.com/howto:set-up-a-custom-domain

Hope this can help

Bought a Domain recently (somethingunnecessary.icu),but I can't use It as my wiki's Domain name.
How can I do?

Thanks Michal. I am relieved to hear that it was something small and harmless like that.

Thanks for letting us know.

Simon @ Ye Olde.

the old situation again…. I have sent the team a private message for the 2 threads to answer or react.

Hello, I'm one of SCP-JP's(http://ja.scp-wiki.net/) administrators .

Our site's storage limit suddenly decreased to 300MB, and now we can't upload any files.

Although the master administrator of SCP-JP (CheshireCheese) does not have a Pro account, we had received permission to operate the site under Pro Lite status as shown in the lower thread.

http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-1466403/we-need-to-change-master-administrator

Now I'd like to ask you to handle three things below.

• Could you return our site storage to Pro Lite's storage?
• Could you tell me how you increased site storage without changing master administration and (if you know) why the increase isn't effective now.
• Could you transfer SCP-JP's master administrator authority to another administrator?

I'm waiting for your response.

Hi, I am sorry about this issue, it was a temporary glitch with the new layout code we've just put and it lasted ~ 10 minutes, plus maybe a bit more for cached pages. It was a minor change, nothing changes regarding sites.

Best,
Michal

Ok, I went to try an edit this page to add the new Search module (because the last one was failing - as per this post : http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-10296005/search-operation-timed-out#post-4152393), and when I re saved my home page this module message problem (in the above post) now seems to have disappeared!!!

Perhaps this was a problem within Wikidot itself and was fixed?

Anyway, the problem seems to have gone away.

So today I visited the home page of my Wikidot site "Music Industrapedia" and some one has imposed upon me or hacked my home page with the following code attempt insertion in the top left part of my home page…

[[module AdModuleAboveContent]]

This is outrageous if it's by Wikidot! I have a Pro Plus account or perhaps my site has been hacked.

My home page can be accessed by http://www.music-industrapedia.com/ or http://music-industrapedia.wikidot.com/

There is no changes listed in the history of the page that I can see. Has anyone else had this problem?

Regards

Simon R @ Ye Olde.

Still working on your site? Still need help with info boxes? Are you referring to designing info boxes? If so you can apply your own CSS to your site, as well as to individual pages. For example, here is some CSS for a simple info box:

[[module css]]
.siboxsample {
    width: 180px;
    padding: 5px;
    background-color: #000;
    color: #fff;
    border: thick dotted #fff;
}
[[/module]]

That module would be placed somewhere on the page you want to use it or the CSS portion alone could be included as part of your master CSS document. Then you would invoke the code on a wikidot page like this:

[[div class="siboxsample"]]
Here is a bit of text to go inside of my simple and rather unimaginative info box.
[[/div]]

How it looks:

help

• CSS Module: https://www.wikidot.com/doc-modules:css-module
• Master CSS document: http://onx.wikidot.com/lab:bettercss
• Here is an example of a master CSS doc that I use for many of my sites, and then edited slightly to give each site a custom appearance: http://illumiblocki.com/css (this is a wikidot site)
• There is also this: http://themes.wikidot.com/

I made it on the community site:
http://community.wikidot.com/google-search ( iframed on the search center.!)
http://community.wikidot.com/search:start ( Search center )

I created on my google account a "custom search engine" ( named for me "wikidot.com" ) and included all the main sites from Wikidot platform

after

• adding all the sites to be included ( not necessary if you need only your site to include!)
• I set the rest of the web to disable ,
• the layout to one column,
• created the javascript code to be inserted and inserted it on the "google-search" page ( which is iframed here ).

That is all!

That is a good question !

Since the day google has stopped the iframe possibility ( look at our search center with google search : http://community.wikidot.com/search:start )
I have no idea to use google on a specific search engin on my wiki - or on our community.

This is a question to ALL USERS of WIKIDOT !

Edit
At the moment I am reading https://support.google.com/customsearch/answer/4513882?hl=en&ref_topic=4513742

How can a "module?" be created to use other search engines?

Basically have a text form that you can enter your search, and that form would have options of which search engine you want to use as a property.

Answer: On Opera, you need to turn off "Opera Turbo"

If anyone knows how to turn turbo off just for specific sites, that would be great to know.

Thx for the suggestions

I would raise a warning for MAC users ( Opera) or to use Firefox ( as I do parallel to IE) on the welcome page ( for members on their Welcome page)

I created a test page with my user name also on http://sw-gis.wikidot.com/test-new-page-helmut-pdorf

( by clicking on the create page link)

all this worked.

Have you setup a security filter on your browser? ( or not allowed "wikidot.com" in a white list? )

Interesting… I tried it on IE and it worked as expected.

Having the problem on Opera.

hmmmmmm Anyone know if there is some setting in Opera that would cause issues?

Thx,
Mark
