should be:

$dir = preg_replace(';/$;', '', $dir);

A semi-colon was missing after the $ sign.

I get:

I understand that the tables are in a different place. I have also manually changed ownership of those tables to wd to no avail. Am I missing something here? Why am I not able to log in? I can get the VMware dev image working just fine. Has something changed since 137?

At first blush, it appears that quite a few things have been taken care of and improved with the latest version compared to the version I'm running on my production machine at work (went live back in late March / early April).

Thanks to all of the developers for the hard work! It's very cool that Wikidot Version 1 is still being improved while Version 2 is in full development mode.

• A polling system, a la http://www.urbandictionary.com
• The ability to lock the creation of sub-wikis to administrators only.

If anyone here is familiar with the WikiDot, and might be able to give me a guess as to how difficult the above changes might be, please let me know your opinion.

Below is the project proposal. Feel free to peruse.
Thanks,
Sean

Wikimentany.org (?)

Project Phase:

• Reserve wikimentary.org
• Begin work with wikidot.org developers
• Broadcast idea
• Implement WikiDot server (w/ updates)
• Finalize rules and procedures
• Promote site & begin process

What it is:

• A web site designed similarly to http://www.wikidot.com
• Allows for wiki and forums for open Documentary Projects (controlled by the individual directors)

Advantages:

• Wikimentary will be a social network for the growing movement of viral video-loggers documentarians who have so far acted individually
• Will allow for a division of labor of the video-loggers so that the most efficient at certain tasks can concentrate their time on these tasks
• Will promote a more professional and user-interactive/Web 2.0 approach to video-log documentaries

Disadvantages:

• Documentaries will tend to Illustrative rather than Observational style; many ‘talking heads’ rather than ‘real’ footage
• Documentaries will tend to be shorter and free, not tailored for DVD distribution or network/cable broadcast

Individuals and Roles associated with a Documentary Project:

• Steering committee: controls main Wikimentary site & appoints the members of the Authorization committee
• Authorization committee: accepts & votes on new documentary projects; creates the sub-site & forums for the project and hands them to the director; authorizes changes in the nature of projects; closes old & invalid projects; accepts or rejects finalized documentary for publication & then publishes it
• Director: workhorse; controls wiki edit authority & discussion authority; decides what to put on script
• Director's guild: list of directors
• Narrator's guild: list of voice talent that shows language, dialect, skills, availabilities
• Resources/Specialists: academics, journalists, etc. who have/will act as experts on a topic
• Assistance committee: people who know what to do to create documentaries & can answer questions; will produce a FAQ & walkthrough on how to make a documentary; help with copyright questions, etc.
• Editor's guild: list of individuals with video editing software (must ensure that they’re legit and registered!)
• Director's Assistants [DA’s]: unaffiliated contributors who do most of the work; add new ideas to projects, edit scripts, find multimedia

Main page:

• Edited by the Steering and Authorization committees only
• Lists open and closed Documentary Projects, Director's guild, Narrator's guild, Specialists/Resources, etc.
• Shows popularity up-down voting poll of what people want to have upcoming, á la http://www.urbandictionary.com

Documentary Projects:

• Three levels of copyright:
  • Full commercial copyright
    • Director can make money; Wikimentary will not make money, and the Authorization committee will not finalize the project; the Assistance committee may or may not offer free assistance
  • Creative-commons (commercial)
    • Director can make money; individuals and business can copy and display the documentary for free; Wikimentary will not make money, but will provide assistance
  • Creative Creative -commons (non-commercial)
    • Neither Director nor Wikimentary can make money on the project
• Must have printable release forms for interviews & other legal documents
• Lifecycle:
  • Director proposes a project to the Authorization committee, including main topics, copyright level, etc.
  • The Authorization committee polls the user base for opinions or directly authorizes the project
  • The Authorization committee creates the project’s wiki and forums, then grants administrator access to the Director
  • The Authorization committee and Director recruit members to act as DA’s
  • The Director and DA’s debate content on the forum, gather multimedia, and write the script
  • The Director recruits and interviews Resources
  • The Director recruits Narrators, if necessary
  • The Narrator reads the script, if necessary
  • The Director recruits the Editor
  • The Editor assembles and mixes the final documentary output
  • The Authorization committee reviews the finalized script and output for style, format, and usage or copyright violations
  • The Authorization committee votes on finalization of the project
    • If partially failed, the Authorization committee will request the Director to complete a list of outstanding actions necessary before finalization can succeed
    • If totally failed, or at any time during the lifecycle of the project when deemed absolutely necessary, the Authorization committee may unilaterally delete the project entirely, or may assign a new director
    • If succeeded, the Authorization committee begins distribution and promotion of the final documentary media, if requested by the Director

What is needed:

• Must make this concept LLC
• An extension to the WikiDot software to allow for polling, as per http://www.urbandictionary.com
• An implementation of the WikiDot application on a dedicated server, as according to http://www.wikidot.org/doc:installation#toc1
• A FAQ like http://www.wildsound-filmmaking-feedback-events.com/documentary.html

this is the main function (a poor copy&past&modify from PageLookupQModule….):

 class TagsLookupQModule extends QuickModule { public function process($data){ // does not use data $search = $_GET['q']; $siteId = $_GET['s']; if(!is_numeric($siteId)) return; if($search == null || strlen($search) ==0) return; $search1 = pg_escape_string(preg_quote($search)); $search2 = pg_escape_string($search); Database::init(); $q1 = "SELECT tag, tag_id FROM page_tag WHERE " . "tag ~* '^$search1' AND tag != '$search2' AND site_id = '$siteId'"; $q1 .= "ORDER BY tag LIMIT 20"; $q2 = "SELECT tag, user_id FROM page_tag WHERE " . "tag = '$search2' AND site_id ='$siteId'"; $db = Database::connection(); $result1 = $db->query($q1); $result1 = $result1->fetchAll(); $result2 = $db->query($q2); $result2 = $result2->fetchAll(); if($result1 == null && $result2 != null) $result = $result2; if($result2 == null && $result1 != null) $result = $result1; if($result1 != null && $result2 != null){ $result = array_merge($result2, $result1); } return array('tags' => $result); } } 

now I need to modify PageTagsModule.js in order to allow search operation.
anyone can help me? I think this feature would be very usefull for everyone.

thanks,
Gio

now I've this strange problems:

- DB_UserKarmaPeerBase.php not found at all (and on the server it doesn't exist!)
- some strange behavior with image rendering with FF3 on OSX. (but it's a secondary problem)
- no third-level domain creating on the the system (nor databases, folders and so on).

how can I have a working wikifarm like wikidot.com if wikidot itself doesn't create third levels? there is something else to do i've missed?
why my wikidot permit users to set-up their own wikis and then doesn't create it?

thanks all of you for the help and sorry for my bad english…. :-(

You can see some of the available engines in action at
http://babelmark.bobtfish.net/?markdown=++*+foo%0D%0A%0D%0Abar ,
or have a look at the converter at http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/try

The PHP implementation is one of the most solid. Is there any interest in adding an option to use the portable Markdown syntax instead of the (probably more powerful) Wikidot syntax?

I am trying to insert a flash generated menu bar in the top of my wiki site. I am using iframe to do it, and it works perfectly on Safari, Firefox, and IE 7. You can see it here on this test page, under the top graphic (there is also still the normal wiki top menu bar as well, which I would remove later):

http://karma-lab.wikidot.com/sandbox:menubar-test

It uses swfobject.js with a setting of wmode = transparent to embed the flash menu bar, inside the html file that is [[iframed]] (source is included below).

The problem is that in IE6, the iframe is NOT transparent, it has a white background, completely covering the page for about 300 pixels down.

If I use the "IE DOM Inspector" plug-in in IE6 to "live edit" the html being displayed, the only thing that works is to add allowTransparency="true" to the <iframe> tag. Instantly, the iframe is transparent and it works as expected.

However, there seems to be no way to actually influence the setting of this from within wikidot, or from the CSS sheet. allowTransparency seems to be an html only parameter, and it is not one of the ones that wikidot allows to be set using [[iframe]]. As you can see from the source below, I try to set it in multiple different places in the CSS file and the wiki source, just for the heck of it.

Any way to get around this? I'd really like to use this flash top menu, but if it can't work on IE 6, I think I have to bag it. Sad, after spending like two days figuring out how to get this far. Here's my source:

The test page in the wiki:

 [[div class="menubar-wrapper"]] [[iframe http://www.mydomain.com/flashobj/wiki-menubar_nt.html class="menubar-iframe" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="668" height="300" allowTransparency="true"]] [[/div]] 

The iframed file:

 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title> <style type="text/css" media="all"><!-- #menubar { } --></style> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.wikidot.org/flashobj/swfobject.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function changeSize(id, value) { document.getElementById(id).style.height = value + 'px'; } </script> </head> <body> <div id="menubar" style="height:30px; width:668px; left:0px; top:0px; position:absolute; margin:auto; overflow:hidden;" onmouseover="changeSize('menubar', 300);" onmouseout="changeSize('menubar', 30);"> MenuBar <script type="text/javascript"> var swf100 = new SWFObject("wiki-topmenu.swf", "MenuBar", "668", "300", "7.0.22", "#000000", true) swf100.addParam("scaleMode","noscale"); swf100.addParam("align","TL"); swf100.addParam("allowScriptAccess","sameDomain"); swf100.addParam("wmode", "transparent"); swf100.write("menubar") </script> </div> </body> </html> 

The applicable CSS:

 .menubar-iframe { allowTransparency:true; } .menubar-wrapper { allowTransparency:true; height:30px; width:668px; overflow:visible; position:absolute; top:94px; left:250px; right:0px; margin-right:auto; margin-left:auto; z-index:200; } .menubar-wrapper p { margin:0px; allowTransparency:true; } 

All went well!

But when I tried to access the site, it said "The site does not exist."

Can anyone help?

BTW it is only Home Network….

One particular area where they would be useful, are the Google Webmaster Tools. The functionality seems very similar to the one for Google Analytics - you get a key, and the system makes a simple tag out of it. So for starters, it could be adapted from that '3rd party tool'. (Also note that there are many people screaming for it over at wikidot forums.)

I would be happy if the Webmaster Tools were available. But the general capability to edit Meta tags would be very useful by itself.

This person is in no way, shape, or form a spammer of any sort. I've advised him to send an email to your support address, but in the future is there some way to troubleshoot issues like this by checking whether somebody has been added to the Global IP Block List before bothering Wikidot support?

More information on this problem. I had my partner do a traceroute from his computer, and compared it to a traceroute from my own computer (I can successfully see all of wikidot.com, but he cannot).

It looks like your wikidot.com servers are hosted by some 3rd party datacenter in Dallas, TX, USA. In my successful traceroute to our specific wiki URL, the destination machine is as2-1.s.wikidot.com, and the router immediately before it is po1.fcr03.dal01.dallas-datacenter.com. (And there are a few more dallas.datacenter.com router hops before those last two.)

In my partner's traceroute, he's getting 100% packet loss at the next hop immediately after po1.fcr03.dal01.dallas-datacenter.com, which means his ping packets (and all other packets, apparently) are being rejected by as2-1.s.wikidot.com. But all my packets, including ping packets, are getting through to that server just fine.

This would seem to conclusively indicate that either his specific IP address or perhaps a subnet address that contains his specific IP address is being globally blocked by wikidot.com. He's on a Verizon network in New Jersey, USA. Did you recently add some Verizon subnet to your Global IP Block List to deal with some spammer originating from that network?

Any ideas?
