- By the way
we got a new client for using SmallWiki: a group from
the natural science institute The ease to change the banner is really
good.
That is cool, I hope that all the design is preserved as the internal
description of the layout has been changed the last few weeks and I
updated the server (see below). - By the way Michele told me that we have to pay
attention with the
icons of the validator because the site of w3c is submerged by
request for these logos so this is better to avoid having them.
I didn't know and I don't exactly understand what the problem is. They
are saying "To show your readers that you have taken the care to
create an interoperable Web page, you may display this icon on any
page that validates." when validating a page
(http://validator.w3.org/
check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fkilana.unibe.ch%3A9090). Of course one can
remove it easily by going to the template-editor and ... - Lukas I
looked inside the edit pane and I could not find the help.
May be I'm blind. I have the impression that having help at the top
level even without editing could be good.
I checked and there is no help displayed, because someone deleted it
using the admin-password. I've restored it now, so it is displayed again.
I've had to update the
kilana-server to use the latest version of SmallWiki, but I failed to
update Swazoo (that's why the server was offline for about half an
hour).
My point is that we should understand what confused them and see how we
can provide an adapted answer. We should keep in mind that Wiki users
are far from advanced users. I also think about the reaction that my
wife could have in front of a feature. I thought that the text they get
when editing a folder is also confusing.
- I saw that people are confused by folders today
again.
I know, but we discussed about adding additional complexity before I
changed the implementation of the folder-class. - why when we
have a folder we have *myFolder* and then it is written
*/myFolder*
because when you add a folder to a page containing folders you get:
This is because the look-up of links is slightly different in Folders
compared to pages. The look-up in a page is started within the parent
to access the brothers/sisters of the current page, whereas the
look-up of a folder starts in the folder itself, to make accessing the
children more easily. From anywhere it should be possible to access
the any item using an absolute path like */a/b/c*.
*/ESE*
*/SDWiki*
and if you enter */MyFolder* the system does not parse it so the
end-user that was making a guess on the way he should write folder is
confused.
In some cases it could be that the rendering is different to the
string you actually gave at the beginning, but I think as long as it
stays parse-able it should be ok. Try to reproduce with the new
version, else it is really a bug.
Cheers,
Lukas
