DokuWiki

Quote by teddydoors:I'm a new Dokuwiki user. .... Why on earth do we have to have such messy things entailed? Do we? I, too, have a farm where each wiki is addressed as a subdomain. My users just call http://wiki.mydomain.ch, without giving any page name.

I'm a new Dokuwiki user. I installed one farm wiki site with several animals. The cool thing is that all animals have a neat subdomain, let's say      banana.fruitwikis.com. The bullshit thing is that all wikis have to have a start page. Of course ... [More] , they must have. But then it creates messy homepages. Now the farmer wiki is fruitwikis.com/start, or you can change into another messy URL like fruitwikis.com/go or fruitwikis.com/home. And all the animal wikis have the same messy styles banana.fruitwikis.com/start, pineapple.fruitwikis.com/start .... Imagine the wikis in different languages    gohan.tabemono.com/hajimete, or  gohan.tabemono.com/start or gohan.tabemono.com/home or gohan.tabemono.com/homu. Why on earth do we have to have such messy things entailed? [Less]

Some questions: 1) Why do you have "start" in the leading of each namespace? Bring everything "one level down" without the start-namespace! 2) How is the sitemap created? Do you make use of a plugin for it? We make use of the plugin indexmenu for ... [More] automatic creation of the sitemap. 3) Which template are you using? 4) Is your wiki public? Can somebody have a look? If your sitemap shall only display namespaces, think about filling it manually with a couple of links. Otherwise perhaps indexmenu or other plugins can be configured to just display namespaces. [Less]

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. But it wasn't quite what I was looking for. I tried to do the following: I created a page called start at the top of the wiki. Then I created the following links in that start page: ... [More] [[start:photography:start|Photography]] [[start:writing:start|Writing]] Then I clicked on the Photography link and I was asked to create that page. Which I did. I then added the following links to that page: [[start:photography:principles_of_photography:start|Principles of photography]] [[start:photography:practical_photography:start|Practical photography]] Now the sitemap looks like this: start   photography     principles_of_photography       start     practical photography       start   start   writing start Only the "start"s are clickable as pages. Everything else are just name spaces that can be expanded. I have never encountered a sitemap like this before. What I would like, is for the sitemap to look like this: start   photogprahy     principels of photography     practical photography   writing And then each of the entries are clickable and will take you to that page. Is this possible? Geez, this is really hard to explain in writing. Hope you understand what I mean. [Less]

Hi. As pop wrote, nothing in DW can be both a page and a namespace. The explanation on the default page beeing named start is correct, but it's not the entire story. things are slightly more complex. see ... [More] https://www.dokuwiki.org/namespaces#namespace_default_link… It is possible to have a page and a namespace that have the same name. In your case, you could create these pages. namespaces are created on demand, you don't need to create them. :photography :photography:principles_of_photography :photography:principles_of_photography:rule_of_thirds :photography:practical_photograpy :writing :writing:writing_techniques :writing:litterature_on_writing :writing:litterature_on_writing:book_tips :whatever linking to the page [[:phography]] or to the namespace [[:photography:]] will show the same content : the page :photography Or as suggested by pop, you could also use this : :photography:start :photography:principles_of_photography:start :photography:principles_of_photography:rule_of_thirds :photography:practical_photograpy etc... The subtle difference, is that linking to the page [[:photography]] will lead to "page does not exist create the page if you want". [Less]
