win ill talk to you on MSN about wiki

theres a few problems with it, i already looked into it

[wynode]

You can tell us here boss

[Stoosh]

lol pretty much with vbulletin, the wiki software (mediawiki) can be integragrated into vbulletin, but usernames with underscores, spaces (anything thats not alphanumeric) will not be able to log into, to add stuff to the wiki

i THINK there may be a way around this, which involves alot of core code changes, ill have a look around and get back to you on this, because i looked at implementing a wiki at AT a few months ago


its pretty much an open database which allows people to add details, of course problems such as people taking advantage of open software will be a problem, therefore it will need to be moderated. but with the integration to vbulletin i think you can use the permissions from the vbulletin system and use them on the wiki

PS: only problem with wiki integration is that skins arent compatible with it

Wikimedia is good, we use it for our internal Knowledge Management system.

Having this feature for Ozhonda will give it greater value but articles posted to it needs to be peer reviewed prior to final publish.

Errm code modification isn't something i'll be up for LOL!

[EuroDude]

umm why not just make a simple text wiki?

Like this for example~
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda

but the problem is integrating into the vbulletin user database..

[wynode]

Does it have to be integrated or ?

[Stoosh]

it doesnt have to be integrated, but the good thing with integration is you can use permissions

therefore you can make it that only members can input and not newcomers etc
and also you can block guests from adding, it just makes it easier to moderate

plus all members will need to sign up additionally to the wiki
