Wikipages for Drupal
cel4145 | Wed, 11/23/2005 - 12:55
I got tired of the fact that Drupal requires the use of a permissions module to implement a basic wiki. Thus, wikipage.module. Using the directions in How to create your own simple node type (from story node), I used the story module in 4.6.3 to create a new module with an additional access control permission: "edit all wikipages." Sure would be nice if we could just add this permission for the page module in Drupal core. Seems such an easy addition, and a nice complement to Gerhard's work with revisions which will hopefully be in 4.7.
nicely done!
Very nice module! Works perfectly.
Ever thought of committing it on drupal CVS, as a module or patch for the core?
yes, but
Glad to hear you like it. It was very, very simple to do. However, I am not a coder. I was kind of hoping someone would discover it, take it from here, and do exactly what you describe :)
announcement on Drupal
We'll see if this helps to promote the idea.
not a coder either
To be honnest, I am not a drupal coder myself... just doing some php scripting.
Anyway, I don't know whether you are used to work with CVS? You should ask for a login so you can contribute your module via the drupal module listing. The further development of your module can benefit from the issue (bug, request, ...) system. Also, the drupal maintainers will see the number of downloads for your module. In case of a succes, maybe they'll take it into the core.
My opinion: My first experience with a CMS was tikiwiki. When I found Drupal (v4.5), the first thing I searched was the wiki functionality. I couldn't any satisfying module. Maybe, your enhancements may lead to a nice standalone wiki module.
Well done!
thanks for the encouragement
but I think I'll leave the work with CVS up to those that know a lot more than I do :)
thanks!
works great, using it here:

I'm trying to integrate it with tagadelic to get a structure. lets see how it goes after updating to 4.7.
i had a look at the 4.7 beta and there still seems no permission to "edit all pages". so your module is still very much needed :)
please consider putting it in CVS, just so it stays there for future versions.
cheers
I'm a writing teacher
and have no idea how to use CVS. Nor do I know enough about coding to be able to make any adjustments to the module or maintain it. I just followed the instructions in that post mentioned above :)
Plus, I probably won't have a need to update this module before next April or so (I created it for class sites for the spring which will not be updated to 4.7).
In fact, please, anyone, feel free to take the module, load it to CVS, and take on the responsibility of maintainer.
wikipage module
Hi,
Thank you for this great module, i want to use it for this site: http://wiki.elivecd.org but i can't access to the whole wiki pages (aka site.com/?q=wikipage), the "more" link in the block doesn't seem to work, it gives me a Page not found.. I hope i miss something.
Please Help :)
Found a solution
Nevermind i found a workaround, i'm now using autopath module and i created an alias.
