Jim Kring Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 QUOTE(Michael_Aivaliotis @ Mar 18 2007, 01:25 AM) Also, as a bonus! If you create a forum post that contains words that exist as [wiki]LAVA[/wiki] Wiki pages, the system will automatically linkify the words to the Wiki pages. For example: I love [wiki]LabVIEW[/wiki] and I also like using [wiki]State Machines[/wiki] very much. Michael: I've noticed that there are no wiki links in old topics. It appears that the tags are added when the page is edited. Is there a way to add wiki links in old topics (rebuild wiki links)? Can this be done on a semi-regular basis (e.g., a cron job)?

That would be really good - as long as the original post date was preserved. QUOTE(Jeff Plotzke @ Mar 19 2007, 09:01 AM) I think I need to add wiki articles for the words 'a' and 'the' -- Articles would have a ton of links! That'd be an interesting metric: the number of automatically linkified wiki links in a member's posts - sort of like how "general" your posting is Quote Link to comment
Michael Aivaliotis Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Mar 18 2007, 12:47 PM) A better feature might be to set up a custom email notification when any page that had a title or content that matched some search string criteria was edited. That way, you could be notified of things that you care about. This probably won't be implemented anytime soon.QUOTE(yen @ Mar 18 2007, 12:51 PM) Now I just need to see whether this applies to all subtopics as well. There is no such thing as subtopic on a wiki. Articles and pages just exist. They are just linked to by other pages.

Go ahead, those articles are good candidates for speedy deletion. That's my next task... guidlines.

Michael Aivaliotis Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Ok, there is a way at the moment to get RSS feeds of both changes and new pages. Using the Special:Recentchanges page and the Special:Newpages. These have an RSS link in your browser. Quote Link to comment
Aitor Solar Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 Automatic wikification results in strange things when the wikified word already was inside a link. For example, try: The [wiki]NI[/wiki] page The first part of the external link goes to ni.com, the "NI" goes to wiki and the end doesn't go anywhere. I would prefer links are not wikified. The same applies to codeboxes. Saludos, Aitor Quote Link to comment

IMHO that's not a case of trying to please all the people, that's a blatant bug. Linkification should not be applied where links already exist. It's a real shame that you have to turn off linkification - I was really looking forward to it improving the SNR on LAVA. Quote Link to comment

eaolson Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 QUOTE(Jim Kring @ Mar 18 2007, 02:37 PM) At first, I could not edit any wiki pages. Then, after logging out and the logging in again, I could edit any wiki page. I had the same problem, and logging out and logging in didn't fix it. Then, I tried doing the same specifically from the wiki main page, and it worked. I think the LabVIEW-focused wiki is a great idea. Just don't forget there are Wikipedia articles for LabVIEW, OpenG, and even Jim Kring. Quote Link to comment

Michael Aivaliotis Posted March 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I started adding some user boxes to the Wiki. These are just simple templates with preformatted text you can add to your user profile. When you add it, it automatically adds you to that category. Just add the following snipet of Wiki code to your page: {{LabVIEW Champion}} Produces: http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5241 {{LAVA Premium Member}} Produces: http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5242 {{NI Employee}} Produces: http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5243 I also Added: {{Certified LabVIEW Architect}} http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5245 {{Certified LabVIEW Developer}} http://forums.lavag.org/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=5246 Perhaps someone can add: OpenG Developer?

You know, I miss it too. At first I was against it as it seemed like noise, but I've come around to appreciate the idea of wikifying posts as a way for people to get instant access to definitions that they don't understand, rather than cluttering up the thread by asking questions that could be answered by a quick link...
