This wiki employs several additional plugins for added features. Below is documentation on using these features in page editing.


Edit

General Markup

{CategoryList} - displays a list of all of the categories in your wiki with links to the page that displays those category's pages. The list it produces is wiki text which is then interpreted by the main formatting engine. Example:



{CategoryIndex:CategoryName} - This class takes a parameter that is a category name. If left off, the category name will be assumed to be "*" (i.e. all categories). The category name Index will be automatically skipped in cases.

The list produced by this class is a list of all pages organized by category. If a page has more than one category, then it is listed more than once.

An optional additional parameter can follow the category name (separated by a pipe "|" character) that will be interpreted as a filter on the page titles. For example: {CategoryIndex:*|A*} will display all of the categories, but only those pages that begin with the letter "A". {CategoryIndex:Help*|A*} will display all pages in categories that start with "Help" and where the title starts with the letter "A". The wildcards are required unless you wish to match the value exactly.

{CurrentDateTime} - displays the current date/time in the format configured into the wiki on the admin page.

{CurrentDay} - displays the current day of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.)

{CurrentYear} - displays the current year (4 digits)

{NewestPagesList:7} - displays the most recently created pages. The parameter specifies the number of days (default=7). This means it will only display the pages created in the last 7 days.

{RecentUpdatesList:7} - displays the most recently changed pages. The parameter specifies the number of days (default=7). This means it will only display the pages changed in the last 7 days.

{PageArchiveIndex:CategoryName} - displays an index of all pages (filtered by category; default = "*"). The category "Index" is always skipped. This index is organized by Creation Date.

{PageVersion} - displays a version number based on the last modification date (number of days since 1/1/2000).

{PageModifyDate} - displays the date this page was last modified.

{RandomLine:PageName} - selects a random paragraph of text from the page indicated in the parameter and display it. Useful for a random quotes page or putting random quotes in the header. Will ignore blank lines in the target page.

{Reference:Text of the reference here} - creates a reference link. Basically a linked number is display in the main text and then the reference text is displayed at the bottom of the page.

If you want the reference to create a link to another page (such as a link to an Amazon page for the referenced book), code it like this:

{Reference:link|reference text}

{ReferenceIndex} - creates an index of all of the references created using the {Reference} tag above.

{TrackBack} - displays a link to all of the other pages in your wiki that directly reference this one.

Gravatar Support

What is a gravatar?

A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites.

The {gravatar:xxx} tag returns a URL to the gravatar image. Use it within an img tag or image markup. Gravatars are based on the hash of an email address. The xxx value in the tag can be replaced with the following values:

  • me - uses the current user's email address
  • creator - uses the page creator's email address
  • a wiki user name - uses that person's email address
  • an email address

Example:

{gravatar:bsimser} = http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/ccd2cb208bf8f9e680d5a96ba5f62065?s=80&r=any

Used in a simple image tag:
