Is there a way to modify wiki index page, so that it show more than the “Welcome to the opening page of your EE Wiki!”?

For instance, how i would add images from another article to it, and links to another categories, or include one or 2 articles from another place in wiki?

Hi, Pete.

You’d edit that particular wiki page. You might want to look at our wiki for examples on how to do what you want.

How this actually work? i mean how i can include articles within articles?

Ok, i got this i think.

But why Youtube videos arent shown - even tho i allow all HTML. In article PREVIEW video is shown, but when i hit “submit” it disappears, because EE transform the codes into something else.

I suspect it’s a limitation to the wiki itself. Did you post a Feature Request for this yet?

Sure did, but i(our project) really dont have time to wait until it might be possible. Is there a way to bypass this, and what file i need to look at?

Embedding video can be a security risk which is why it’s limited in the wiki.  Are you asking for a hack to make it possible?

well yes. But one question - how it can be security risk, if you are allowed to embed Youtube videos in basic channel entry? Makes no sense to me - the difference here,
thanks.

Because the wiki (and forum) are intended to be more open for user contributed content; where channel entries tend to be far more restricted to people with trusted permissions.  The wider audience changes things a bit and so we are more strict on security in those areas.

yeah i understand that point of view. But some cases sites do not allow wiki to be used with wide range of users, for example creating wiki that gives site users some help, tutorials etc. and authors are limited to small group like “team”. By this way it comes more handy to use. and if you create wiki that has wider userbase, you might restrict the “all inclusive” usage.

EDIT: and what comes to channel entry-based publishing, you are allowed to use frontend-forms to submit new entry - so why wiki itself does not work the same way like channels? You can limit channel entries to have only “safe html”.

The wiki tends to be a lot more open to full community participation.

In any case, you’re welcome to make a feature request for to change it, but right now you’d have to hack the wiki to allow videos.

Can you give me some info in private for that?

Hi, Pete -

You know we don’t support hacks, I’ll move this down to Community Help for more input.

Thank you.

Lisa, i love you and all others too 😊
Thanks for moving this into proper area. Dont forget all what i wrote, and tell it to EE dev-team 😊
