IpbWiki:Using the ipbwiki post tag

From IpbWiki

Description

This tag shows the contents of a forum post inside the wiki page

Usage

This tag has 2 parameters:

• post: specify which postnumber to show (required parameter)
• border: when set to 0 then just the post content is shown without the post border (default = 1)

Examples

The following examples show the contents of the IpbWiki 2.0 release notes both with border on and off

With border on

syntax: <ipbwiki_post post=4674 /> or <ipbwiki_post post=4674 border=1 />

Looks like:

With border off

syntax: <ipbwiki_post post=4674 border=0 />

Changes in IpbWiki 2.0: the improvements in IpbWiki 2.0 focus on the visual side of the wiki.

New Features

• Automatic Skin Integration, no longer you need to download an extra modification to apply your forum skin to the wiki! However for automatic skinning to work it is required that you cache your forum css to text files (to check whether this is setup like this for you, go to your forum Admin CP -> Look & Feel -> next to each skin click on Edit Settings... and make sure that Cache CSS to text files is set to Yes)
• Not only is the skinning of the wiki fully automatic now, but IpbWiki is shipped with 2 types of skins, of course both match your forum look...
  • The first skin is called IpbWiki Ipb Style (see screenshot on the left at the bottom of this post) and is an improved version of the skin that has been available to customers as a beta IpbWiki modification for a while now. This skin is now considered stable. The only thing you need to do when you decide to use this skin is to create a button for "edit article" and save it in your forum/style_images/skin_dir directory. (the edit button for the default ipb skins Ipb Classic Blue and Ip.Board Pro is already provided in the download package.)
  • The second skin (although heavily tested and I working pretty good) is considered beta due to the fact that it's completely new. This skin comes in two flavors:
    • IpbWiki MediaWiki Style: The look is a mixture of an Invision Power Board look and the default MediaWiki monobook look, so it makes your IpbWiki really look like an Invision Power Board Wiki (see screenshot on the right at the bottom of this post)
    • IpbWiki MediaWiki Style Colored: This skin-type uses the same basics as the IpbWiki MediaWiki Style skin, but in addition it also fetches the css for the body color/background. A side-effect of this is that the nice pages that's used in the IpbWiki MediaWiki Style skin will be never visible in this type of skin. So I'd advise to only use this skin if you have a non-white background skin.
  • Of course you also still have the option to use your own custom MediaWiki skin together with IpbWiki...
• Both IpbWiki skins have been tested on the 2 default Invision Power Board skins and several custom Invision Power Board Skins.
• Skins have been tested on Windows XP and Windows Vista using the following browsers: Mozilla Firefox 2, Mozilla Firefox 3, IE 5.0, IE 5.5, IE 6.0, IE 7.0, Opera 6, Opera 7, Opera 8, Opera 9, Netscape 8, Netscape 9 and Safari 3
• When using the IpbWiki Skins you can now change skins on the wiki the same way you change skins on the forum, just use the Skin drop down box on the bottom of the wiki page
• Both skins contain a Printable Version.
• The IpbWiki installer now tries if it can chmod files from within php, before asking this to the person installing IpbWiki.
• Registration on the wiki can now be redirected to the forum registration.
• Online list integration - the online list on your forum now shows all guests/members browsing the wiki.
• Wiki link is automatically added to board header now.

Bugfixes

• Bbcode used in MediaWiki templates is now also being parsed by the IpbWiki BBCode Parser.
• Loosened the password checker in MediaWiki to contain the same password checks as Invision Power Board.
• Ipb Stronghold cookie fix.
• IpbWiki Extra Namespaces no longer litter the search page on the wiki.

IpbWiki Documentation!
A weak point of IpbWiki in the past was documentation, I know it's still not perfect, but besides the Installation which was already available, there's now also documentation for the configuration of IpbWiki on the following page: http://www.ipbwiki.com/IpbWiki:Overview . Over the coming days the actual usage of IpbWiki will also be documented on the same page.

Important! Take a backup of your forum and wiki before upgrading. (The IpbWiki 2.0 release contains a lot of code changes and is almost twice as big as the IpbWiki 1.7.1 release). Normally upgrading should work fine, but if you have a backup and it fails you have something to go back to.

Installation:

• Download IpbWiki Interface and IpbWiki Core from the client download section.
• Upload IpbWiki Core to your forum directory and run the setup.
• Upload IpbWiki Interface to your wiki directory and run the setup

And last but not least, a small announcement: New Prices for IpbWiki starting May 1st 2008
