New subject: Antwort: Setting up a simple Wiki...

26 Jan 2007

Hi!

I am planning to set up a simple wiki for personal use (noting my tasks, 
thoughts, etc.) and maybe more. I decided to
use SmallWiki, as it seems to work really fine in practice 
(www.squeak.org is very nice). At first I tried Pier, but it
was a bit complicated for me, as I am not familiar with Seaside and I 
really don't want to develop web applications. So
I downloaded the SmallWiki prepared image from 
http://homepage.mac.com/jborden23/FileSharing3.html. Loading from
SqueakMap to 3.9 did not really work out (getting a dependency message 
and after ignoring it getting another error on a
non-existing method in Monticello?). The prepared image is a Squeak 3.7 
one and works just fine but I did run into
troubles when trying to configure SmallWiki. So here are some questions, 
maybe you can help me:

1.) I don't really understand the difference between roles and users. If 
I enter the wiki, I have automatically anonymous
role? Why can't I edit any page then?

2.) I tried to protect a page, that should not be viewable by other 
users then admin. I executed the script I found in the
SmallWiki FAQ:

(server root at: 'Secret')
	roles: (OrderedCollection
		with: (BasicRole name: 'anonymous'))  " this role has no permissions
"

but I could still access the page when I normally entered it without any login. Am I 
doing something wrong?

3.) How can I remove actions (RSS for example) from the upper right corner?

I think that's pretty much it. I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance,

Elod
