I'm just starting to use this plug-in - I like what I see so far.

It would be nice to have a "Wiki" type post where some/all members can add or change info with the previous version kept safely intact somewhere that the admin or someone else could restore.

Typically this would be the top post but any post could become a Wiki.

 

Nothing fancy don't even need [[name]] type of capabilities - just a post where anyone can modify and history is kept of who did what.

 

I really like the Wiki for this plug-in - what package is it?

 

Thanks for any feedback.

and lots of customizations and a few other plugins...

you can already do wiki type stuff in a forum... just set up the permissions so that users can edit any post...

Thanks for the info.

Understand what you are getting at but that would mean lots of folks changing lots of posts with no history of what happened.

I think vBulletin has this feature but could be wrong.

 

Again, thanks.

you can have history on all edits... check posts here... can choose no history, last history or all history...

and isnt that what a true wiki is? anyone can update?

Wow, I've got to play with this plug-in it might be close enough to what I'm after.

 

Thanks much,

I've tried to find where the switch is for keeping history of all edits - no luck.

 

If you can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks much

I'm running version 4.2.2 and I don't see any items that relate to historical savings of posts.

 

Sorry
