Introducing...Thread Wiki Functionality!

[Dan]

You've asked for it.  Again. And Again. And Again.

It has never existed before for SMF but I finally went out and hired a 3rd party developer to make it a reality.

When in a topic just click on "Add Wiki" (it's one of those buttons just above the title bar of a thread).
You can also edit the wiki and revert the wiki to previous versions.  Just click on the wiki timestamp to view previous versions of the wiki.

Click on the - (all the way on the right on the wiki bar) to minimize the wiki on page 1 of a thread or the + to maximize the wiki on subsequent pages.

For now you must be logged in to view the wiki and you must be a DansDeals Platinum elite member to edit a Wiki.

Post in this thread if you have any questions or find any bugs.  And thanks for making DDF a great place to hang out!

And a huge thanks to SMF developer "Emanuele" who is a class-act in every sense of the word, and of course our very own volunteer techie, the one and only BAHayman!

Yay! Thanks, can't wait to see what the crowd can do with this

[Ergel]

Awesome. Thanks so much.

Can you only allow certain Platinum members to edit?

[Ergel]

Any way the wiki can show up on the top of every page of a thread (not just the first page)

ETA:I know there is a way, should be a simple edit in the code. Can you have your peoples take care of that? Thanks

[elikay]

Thanks!

Though I guess we still won't be seeing it in Tapatalk.

[Ez]

How do I find all the Wiki's?

It's been like a hidden feature until now, no buttons anywhere..
Shouldn't there be a link to the Wikis just like there is to DDF?

+1

[Ergel]

It's within each thread. Look up

[Galitzyaner]

It's within each thread. Look up

Are you now saying that it always was?  Or it was just added today?

[Ergel]

The second one

[AsherO]

Awesome. Thanks so much.

Thanks so much!

[bubbles]

Thanks! Time to start unsigned browser over tap a talk I guess

Prediction: It will be used at first then you will find out it has been a waste of time. Please make me eat crow!!!

The problem would be if a wiki gets long do you really want to see that on every page of a thread?
There would have to be a minimizer option (set by default on subsequent pages in a thread) I guess to make that work well.  Might be difficult to code..

If used properly it'll be great. I think it'll work better for some threads that for others.

Make it scrollable, like this:

That is one big "IF". I am just going on what I have seen in the past.

Don't think that would be too tough

[Dan]

Don't think that would be too tough

I'm happy to inquire.
Does what I said make sense for how it would have to be implemented?

[Ergel]

Yeah. I think that's better than AsherO's solution

[Dan]

Make it scrollable

What does that do? Just less to scroll past? Does that matter if it's only on page 1 (and the only reason people will go to page 1 is prob to read the wiki?)

[Dan]

I kind of like it above the OP.  Often times the Wiki will be more informative than the OP.
Disagree?
