Meta-Wiki discussion area: y'all running into any bugs, problems, technical limitations?

Like all the rest of the Wiki this page isn't designed to ask questions from a host or admin, but to facilitate conversation. If you have a question, post it here. If you have an answer post it here.

Open Questions

3. I stopped by the site last night and found the sidebar had been edited to add tons of commercial links. I rolled it back to the previous (correct) edit, but I wonder how to prevent this in the future. I assume it was some automatic process, wonder if there's a solution. On the other hand, may not be something to worry about unless it happens consistenly. -DaveSchwartz

Answered Questions

2. Eric, is there a way we can post general group messages on the site? For instance, meeting times and locations? -Victor

meeting time and location might be appropriate on the front page, that way if it changes, it's the first thing you notice. -DaveSchwartz

1. Why dont's the Wiki Words in the "Recent Changes" section link to people?

good question. I don't know yet- I'll poke around and try to figure it out. --EricRosenbaum Hey Eric, when I edit the recent changes page, it looks like the edited by assume the author's wiki page will be in a "profiles" directory. Documentation found here: http://www.ericrosenbaum.com/subversivebrunch/wiki.php?pagename=PmWiki.AuthorTracking Indicates that:

Within the RecentChanges? pages, author names become links to "profile pages" where authors can store information about themselves. By default these pages are stored in the "Profiles/" WikiGroup?, but this can be changed by a site administrator to be a different group by setting the $AuthorGroup variable in config.php.

Okay, this is fixed now- from now on, the name you put in as author when making changes can link to your personal wiki page. Existing links in RecentChanges stay broken, though.
