Category: Perspectives

Maybe some of you will think of this as a "marketinhg" thing, but let's face it : for most users on the Web "wiki" is synonym with "MediaWiki-powered sites that look like wikipedia".

What I propose is to create the theme and tools to facilitate migration of mediawiki powered sites to tikiwiki the (very) easy way : fill a form during install that points to the Mediawiki database, and extract all the info to automagically populate the Tiki. I'm willing to participate, but I do not feel I have the required knowledge at this moment to be able to do something useful in the coding part : I know little to no PHP or MySQL stuff, I even wasn't able to install Tiki properly here (shame on me).

in your browser check the source of http://suite.tiki.org/tiki-index.php

suite is a perspective within the community site. They share the same codebase, so maybe there is something with the perspective lib

It isn't possible to specify a wiki homepage when creating or editing a perspective because, although the label displays, the form input doesn't. The page source shows:
{CODE()}<input type="text" id="pref-3" name="wikiHomePage" value="Boxus_homepage" style="display:none">{CODE}
If I delete the CSS style, then an input displays and can be used, although it is only a plain input and not a page selector that fills according to typed input.
