hello
Suddenly, I cannot upload any file on my wiki, from any web browser on my pc. An error comes up.
I can upload files from my laptop but not from pc!!
I have reinstalled web browsers and adobe flash player, but still the same problem.
I think it all started when I tied to install shockwave player and had a failure or something …
Do not understand what happened …
Any helpful ideas, please???
Thnak you
N.
It's hard to say what the issue is without more specifics about what the error message says. If it's working on your laptop, but not your PC, it could be any number of things. I'd start by uninstalling and reinstalling Flash and Shockwave. Flash is no longer supported by Chrome, but you can install Flash PPAPI (or NPAPI if using Firefox).
You can choose your downloads for specific browsers from this link:

Dear wikidot user forum,
Sorry to ask this n00b question but I'm just getting started. I figured out how to upload a file, but how do I link to it on my page so people can download it? It's just a bunch of pdfs. Thanks

use [[file filename]] to have a link to the attached file ( on the same page).
Edit: the link above on the page leads to the documentation: http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#attachments

Why is there a button to add an image/image wizard to the page, but no button to add a file?
The "Files" Button for uploading q file(files) is ( standard) in the page options buttons at the bottom of a page (if allowed to be visible)

thanks but, I didnt mean a button to upload docs, but to add a link to that uploaded doc on the page. Like the image wizard where you can select an uploaded image to put on the page.
I don't know why there isn't a wizard similar to the image one. It would be useful. Personally I never use the editor buttons but always type the syntax which in this case can be seen at http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#toc57

You have to upload your image first via the files button on the bottom of the page and then, you can click page link wizard and upload file.
Then, select attach file and your image file appears. click the file so that it is highlighted and click upload. XD
I can not upload files using the new upload, I can only do it using the old uploader. Can you help me?
This is quite common if you are on a school or office system where the firewall settings might be preveniting it being used.

I can remember - the new upload works with adobe "flash" - have you ninstalled adobe (reader) on your machine?

I am looking on how to make a file attached to a page editable.
For example attach an excel file and be able to open, modify and save the excel file.
Is this possible and how?
This is not currently possible. When you open an excel file (or other attached document) you are opening a local copy on your computer. If you make any changes you must then upload a new version.
What I do is to use a spreadsheet from http://www.zoho.com and embed it in the wikidot site. When the data needs changing this is done back at the zoho site but the data is updated automatically on your site.

Could this be done with a Google Docs spreadsheet as well Rob?

Yes indeed. In some ways Google Docs is better in that you can set the permissions so that anyone can edit and there is a link directly to the page under the spreadsheet which, of course, can be added to your page with an iframe.
The slight problem I have with google docs spreadsheets is that the "automatically republish when changes are made" checkbox doesn't always seem to work and I find I have to manually push the "rebublish now" button to ensure that changes are reflected in the published version on the site. If you forget to do this it can take a while for the sheet to republish with the changes.
Overall I prefer zoho sheet just because it is more feature-rich than google docs - it has pivot tables for example. But the ability to allow anyone to edit rather than just view your google doc is a big point in its favour, or a security problem!
It's a shame that DabbleDb is closing because that really was a powerful online database.
@kappelmans, if you want to see a google docs spreadsheet added to a page with the relevant iframe syntax have a look at my page here. A zoho sheet embedded on the page is here

Hi. I am trying to find an easy way to create a photo gallery in my wiki with captions under each picture. How can I do this? THX Jay
There is no easy way. First, you have to create a category for pictures. For example, image:name of the page. Then, you have to upload a picture per page. Then, the name of the file must be the same as the name of the page in which is uploaded. For example:
The page name is: image:connie-wiki
The image that you upload to this page should be named: connie.wiki.jpg
The description of the picture should be written on the very same page. It should not be longer than 200 characters. If your description has more than 200 characters, than in the following code use %%preview(n)%% instead of %%preview%%
Then, in the page in which you want to put a gallery, you put ListPages module. Something like this:
Also, at the same page, you should add this:
This is CSS for that page, so the numbers of pages appear under the thumbnails, and not half on the right side, and half under the thumbnails.
If you don't want to present all the pictures of the site, then you should tag each page with uploaded picture and select by tag the pictures you want to show. Let's say, you want to show only the pictures from the concert of your favourite group. You tag all those picture pages with "concert". Then you add tag="concert" into the first ListPages module. Like this.

The .jpg files I uploaded to my page appear as icons and you can't see the photo after saving the edit. Any ideas? THX
You should rename all of your files to get rid of the spaces. For example, change Connie wiki.jpg to Connie_wiki.jpg and then change your image link to [[<image Connie_wiki.jpg]].
The other option is to replace the spaces with %20 ([[<image Connie%20wiki.jpg]]).
Trust me, you'll be much happier if you get in the habit of removing spaces from all file names before you upload them!

Adding to what Ed has said about removing spaces, an extra tip that might be useful is that I always make my filenames lowercase. The filename is case-sensitive so keeping everything consistent in lower case reduces the possibility of problems when adding the link in your page.
Nice description, Brunhilda.

Thanks, Rob. However, do check if everything is ok… I used my code but introduced some changes so it can fit better to JYeo's needs, so maybe I made some mistake somewhere…

why so hard to use wikidot, was forced to use a script to display things. Is easier to use this wikido
? ? ?
I do not understand what was the question or the remark ?
