I have a couple questions about using the EE Wiki module. If this isn’t the right place, feel free to move it, but I didn’t see another forum that dealt with technical questions for existing modules. Thanks!

First, a quick explanation. I have a model wiki set up for one committee of a non-profit organization. Once it’s set up, we want to duplicate it for all committees. It’s multiple pages. Is there an easy way to pick it up, part-and-parcel, and plop it down with a new name so there are multiple iterations of the same content? Once each committee has one, they’ll go in and start adding their own unique content.

Second, is there a proprietary outline code for the wiki, or just basic HTML outlining (ol and ul lists)? Some of the people who will be maintaining these sites have absolutely no HTML knowledge and we sold them on the wiki concept based on ease of authoring. If there’s an easier way to do outlining than teaching them HTML tags, that’d be great.

Thanks!

Shel, I redid a site of mine by reinstalling EE, but reused my previous wiki by importing the wiki tables from my older install. So yes, it’s possible.

This assumes that you are installing unique versions of EE. But if you mean duplicating wiki1 with wiki2 in the same EE install, no, there isn’t an out of the box solution.

The wiki is driven by a template found in the /themes/wiki_themes folder. The client wouldn’t be changing those templates. What I do is build a cheat sheet with the formatting codes they can use. I usually set the wiki up to use xhtml for formatting. Or you might want to use textile for formatting.
