I've Migrated the Knowledge Base Article over to the LAVA Wiki. I've also added a Help Section in the Wiki to help guide new users on how to work with the wiki.

QUOTE(yen @ Mar 17 2007, 01:51 PM) What do you want to be notified of? Changes or new docs?

QUOTE(yen @ Mar 17 2007, 01:38 PM) We are not NI. .

Well, I want to add a closing comment that we now have a LabVIEW Wiki. XNodes content has already been added.

QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Mar 16 2007, 11:51 AM) Great idea Jim. I'm getting even more excited now!QUOTE(Mike Ashe @ Mar 16 2007, 02:18 PM) It would be nice to see some of the documentation section on OpenG TikiWiki transfered as well, such as: How to do Menu Launch VIs Yes, definitely! Let's bring life back to that content.

Some ideas for wiki content: History of LabVIEW History of GOOP Biography on Jeff K LIst of all LabVIEW addon's and toolkits Catalog of all LabVIEW ini settings. Tutorials and getting started FAQ's for LabVIEW on: LVOOP State Machines XControls [*]Designing good User Interfaces [*]What is recursion and how to do it in LabVIEW [*]Compilation of all LabVIEW resources on the web. Any other ideas?

I'm very very excited to announce that LAVA now officially has a full fledged, full featured, member editable Wiki. The engine for the wiki is powered by MediaWiki which is also used for driving Wikipedia content. This means it's very capable and powerful. http://wiki.lavag.org Many of you have been asking for the capability to create static content that is NOT a forum thread or topic. Now LAVA is providing this feature. The goal is to eventually phase out the problematic Knowledge Base, migrate the LabVIEW FAQ over and expand the content on the Wiki. Currently, Adam Rofer is helping add content related to XNodes documentation :thumbup: . Thank You Adam. This is just the beginning. I have spent many long nights getting this up and running (and almost crashed the server in the process) in the hopes that it will be embraced by the community. Where this goes is dependent on you. I would really like to see this become truly the best LabVIEW resource destination for new and experienced users. I am personally committed to adding my own content on a regular basis. Key Points (for now): You need to login to the wiki, however you can use the same login name and password as on LAVA. You can also have it remember your login. Creating and editing a wiki page is a little harder than creating a forum post due to the current lack of a wysiwyg editor. This may change in the future. If you are not comfortable editing wiki content I suggest you see here for some tutorials and guides used on Wikipedia. If you want to start a discussion thread on a specific wiki article then click on the button at the top or bottom of the article. This will create a LAVA forum discussion thread dedicated to that article which will be placed here. Empty discussion threads will be automatically removed so don't worry about it. You CAN use BBcode and smilies in the wiki article editing. I've created a few namespaces. If you need more, let me know what they are. For example XNodes: is one namespace. I will be replying to this post with updates. Thank You all and HAVE FUN!

QUOTE(Ale914 @ Mar 13 2007, 10:38 AM) That's on my list...

Thanks everyone. I've added the changes. Also, if you see anything on the site in French that doesn't make sense and you can suggest a better translation then let me know in this thread.

Saw this on Saturday and I thought it was funny. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuEDwcfJPSk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuEDwcfJPSk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

How to open a vi within a vi

For a moment there i thought I was looking at an autostereogram.

QUOTE(orko @ Mar 11 2007, 09:53 PM) How is it possible to program LabVIEW without LVOOP? You like running around with loaded handguns with the safety off?

Dialog tables are limited. You cannot change them. You will need to create your own. I did something like this for an MCL. Perhaps you can do this for a table too: Alternating Row colors in Multicolumn Listbox

QUOTE(Aristos Queue @ Mar 10 2007, 08:16 PM) Are you saying we shouldn't be allowed to have classes with pure white appearance of wire?

I finished updating the site to handle the French language. It should work now without errors. There are only 2 files left needing translation. I've attached them in case someone wants to help out.

Great! Thanks for the effort. I also managed to find more translated files so now I have only 2 files left to translate:

I'm not sure what you want here. Itunes does all this for you already, and on top of that it puts all you rmusic in logical folders.

The best use of technology i've seen i years... :beer:

QUOTE(Steve Weidman @ Mar 7 2007, 11:09 AM) I've attached a VI that does what you ask. I suggest you study shift registers.(LV8.0) http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5149 http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5150

Well, thank you for all your contributions. You were passionate about LabVIEW and about LAVA. I appreaciate your time an effort in the the community. It's seems like almost yesterday that your daughter was "born" on LAVA and look at her now! Thanks Again, and have fun .

QUOTE(TiT @ Mar 7 2007, 02:12 AM) Yes, I did German last weekend. I'm doing French this weekend. Hang in there...QUOTE(yen @ Mar 7 2007, 10:04 AM) BTW, Michael, I like the new button look. :thumbup: Thanks for noticing. I was just cleaning up some loose ends around the site and I didn't think it warranted an announcement but, ya!
