Wiki

Sharon Villines All Messages By This Member #11522 I just downloaded a wiki from Google Classic Sites. It is in HTML pages along with any attachments in whatever form they were attached in. Any chance that these could (eventually) be imported to a Groups.io wiki? Sharon ---- Sharon Villines [email protected] "Neighbors Talking to Neighbors” Takoma Park DC and MD
Shal Farley Member Profile All Messages By This Member #11527 Sharon, It is in HTML pages along with any attachments in whatever form they were attached in. Any chance that these could (eventually) be imported to a Groups.io wiki? If you can open those pages in your browser, you can probably copy each from that browser window and them paste it into a blank group wiki page. If that doesn't work you could try opening the pages in notepad (or another plain text editor) and then in he group wiki page editor switch to Source Code mode and paste in the raw HTML code. One potential problem is that Groups.io's wiki may not (probably does not) support all of the HTML formatting elements that those pages contained. So you may have a fair amount of clean-up to do depending on how fancy the original pages were. Another problem would be the attachments. If they are images you can use the Add Image button to insert them. If they are something else I'm not sure what you can do. Maybe host the file somewhere and provide a link to it on the wiki page. If your group's wiki is available only to group members you could put the attachment in your group's files section and link to it from the wiki. It isn't as easy to as it should be though, for lack of a permalink on the files.

Shal Farley Member Profile All Messages By This Member #11538 Tom, Can the same thing be done with a PDF? While I'm certain you can copy the text of a PDF from Adobe Reader or your web browser or whatever application you use, and paste it into the edit for a group wiki page, I'm far less confident about the formatting and any embedded images. Also, PDF pages are like cut sheets of paper - each having a specific size for printing. Whereas wiki pages, like HTML pages, are more like scrolls of arbitrary length. Things like having running text in multiple columns is possible in Word and PDF, but basically foreign to wiki and web pages. So I'd say that while you can get the text there, by hook or by crook, you might be faced with a lot of reformatting work depending on the formatting features used in the PDF file.

KWKloeber All Messages By This Member #11548 I tried copy/paste a page from a Mediawiki page: Notice the top of the page links to the actual pdf that the member composed. More on that later. ?? The result wasn’t great. I had to do a bit of reformatting and had to handle the photos individually (upload, place, size, etc). I wanted them centered but to no avail — whatever I tried they revert bank to slammed left margin. Not fatal, but not great.? /g/catalina30/wiki/Repairing-an-AquaLift-muffler-%28with-pictures%29 Note That I also link to the pdf. Mediawiki handles media content (pics, pdf, whatever) SO MUCH better than IO. I had to load the pdf into the IO FILES section and link to it. Not ideal (I created a folder something like ”wiki content” to hold wiki files. I could have linked to the original pdf location, but you know how that goes with future dead links, etc.? My suggestion is, if you want a serious wiki site with bells and all that, find a place to host MediaWiki and create a permalink to it on an anchored IO wiki page. ?BUT Mediawiki is not WYSIWYG like IO (you’ll need to get used to using wiki markup language). ? So there’s always loads of trade offs!
Shal Farley Member Profile All Messages By This Member #11549 Ken, I wanted them centered but to no avail — whatever I tried they revert bank to slammed left margin. Not fatal, but not great. I had that problem trying to manipulate the code, but I found that the centering button in the WYSIWYG editor works, but seems to require that you include at least a blank paragraph above the image in the selection when you center it. In the code that seems to make the image part of that paragraph. That's probably a bug, or a little nest of them. Also, you don't necessarily need the revision date on the bottom line, the wiki page has it automatically at the top right.

Bruce All Messages By This Member #11554 Yep Ken, this is another case of innocuous inline styles being stripped by the wiki editor upon save. Been there, done that, have already complained about it in beta. Meanwhile, I've found that I've had more success using deprecated constructs such as img align="center". I believe this still works in all browsers but that could [of course] change someday. Hope this helps, Bruce -- The system Help is your friend.??/static/help
KWKloeber All Messages By This Member #11555 Shal, I will try that, thanks! ive figures out how to make the “table of my topics page” but when making a true ToC, what is the first line of garbage that appears in brackets (understand it’s part of the coding for sub heading levels) but WHY???? and can I make it vaporize? ?(Other than white on white text) ?

See this recent thread on TOC usage. I suspect a manually-created bulleted list and anchor tags will ultimately leave you less frustrated. ?

The TOC is the one aspect of the wiki editor that isn't WYSIWYG. When editing you see a code that is a placeholder for the TOC. You can edit the number in there to change the number of levels, and/or the text to change the heading. For example: When you save the edit it will render as a TOC: ?

Bill Hazel All Messages By This Member #26955 Hello, Just starting to go through the wiki page (?/g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/How-to-put-a-Table-of-Contents-on-a-Wiki-page?) and one thing that took me a few minutes to figure out was that the actual line -?[?TOC:Example Table of Contents:1?]?- needs to be in paragraph style. I had already started my page with Headings and inserted the TOC before my first entry, making it Heading 1. Looked really funky. Took me about 5 minutes to figure it out. You might mention adding the TOC as the 1st step in creating a new page before adding content as I'm pretty sure most wouldn't change the style until they got to that point anyway. ?
