    I installed EE 1.6 on a fresh DB.

    Turned on and configured Wiki module, but cannot access it.

    I found the following information:

    Add pages by going to http://example.com/index.php/wiki/index/NewPage, by using the Find Page search in the sidebar, or creating a link using wiki syntax

    Substituting example.com to my site address, it bumps back to the index* template.

    Have you setup a new template group for your wiki and populated the index template?

    Thank you. I must have missed this part in the docs.

    If I may.

    Please consider putting this reference into the wiki getting started guide ( http://expressionengine.com/docs/modules/wiki/getting_started.html ), it was a little misleading.

    That getting started guide is for using a working wiki.  The instructions you seek are already in the wiki installation instructions, in step 5. =)

    Fair enough.


    Lisa, I don’t want to open a new thread for this, but is there a way to enter HTML formatting onto a Wiki page?

    Yes, make sure you allow all HTML and then enter whatever you wish. =) I personally use Textile on my wiki as it’s easier for me to work with.

    I did set it to “Allow all HTML”, but I still can’t get that Google map IFRAME to work (it converts the first bracket). The other option I have there is “XHTML”.

    Ah, yes, even with allow all HTMl the wiki does some cleaning up.  Do you need the map per article or some such? It’d be best to place it directly in the wiki theme.

    Per article.

    We are building a tennis court database (in a category) and would want to show the map for each.

    There are a few tags that are never allowed in the general user-input areas, iframes are one of them.  To handle this you would need an extension or plugin to handle the appropriate markup, security, and parsing. You might look at the forum extension for handling YouTube and Google Videos as a beginning.

    You could also post in the how-to forum to see if anyone has ideas on handling this.

    I found a “no formatting” plugin here. It removed all the extra markup, but the IFRAME still gets parsed somehow. *sob*

    I also found different plugin solutions here for the forum module, but I guess my situation will need a “custom” Wiki plugin for handling Google Maps.

    I guess these are the options.
