Wiki type post

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

I suspect you are meaning history of the actual post content – although I may be wrong. If that is what you mean then no – we do not keep that. Mr Papa was referring to a history of who made the edits and when.

Hi, yes sorry for the confusion – it was 2 am when I was doing the posts.

(By the way, the time of post all show the same and I know at least 1 hr went by)

 

The history I was thinking about is just like when you publish and update a WP Post or Page – old copies that can be reverted to if the on-going editing needs to be brought back to a previous version.

 

But I'm happy with what you guys offer – its just fantastic and hope to have a live forum up and running in 30 days in a membership site and can then donate some proceeds to you guys.

 

Thanks again

The post times are a display error in this beta code. I have a task here to get that sorted….

Hope it goes well.
