quickstart [The (Unofficial) GlobalTalk Wiki

This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong.
====== GlobalTalk Wiki QuickStart ======
For the moment, creating the sub-wikis is a manual process for me, but it’s pretty quick

As per the signup form, you can have your own site logo and favicon – I’m currently [manually] setting the defaults to be the above image from the front cover of //Apple Internet Router Administrator’s Guide//.

I’ll e-mail you the login details for your admin account – go to the subdomain (“abc.globaltalk.wiki" in the above example) in a browser and click Log In at top right, then enter the user details I sent.

The site title shown above is under ''Admin > Configuration Settings > Wiki title’’, and is probably the first thing you’ll want to change (it’ll initially just be the subdomain prefix (“//**abc**//” in the above example).

Then, click on the site logo or title to visit the start/home page, then click the pencil with the plus at the right of the content display areas to select “Create this page” – and you can start editing away.

Generating a preview saves the Draft content, and when you’re done you can put a summary of the changes below the text entry field if you want, and also indicate if you’ve just made minor changes.

You can play around in the Playground – just click on your site’s Sitemap at top right, choose playground to expand that area, and the indented playground to try things out.

Also, the DokuWiki site has [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/wiki:syntax|tips about formatting syntax in the content editor]] a [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/manual|Manual]], and a [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/tips|Tips and Tricks]] page with some collected wisdom of developers and users.

Reach out if you have any questions!

==== Site Plugins ====
These are the additional site plugins I have enabled here, let me know if you want any extra. I’ll likely expand these as I go and create a separate page for this list.
  * [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:bureaucracy|Bureaucracy]]: allows you to create forms.
  * [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:smtp|SMTP]]: allows you to send e-mails via SMTP, usable with the Bureaucracy plugin (it’s how I created the above form). Make sure you setup your sending e-mail address in the Notification section of the Configuration Settings item on the Admin page, and you can test your e-mail setup using the “Check SMTP configuration” item on the Admin page.
  * [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:bureaucracytoolbar|Bureaucracy Toolbar]]: Creates a text formatting toolbar for “text area” (multi-line/resizable) form fields.
  * [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:calendar|Calendar]]: Allows you to host a calendar – I may or may not use this here.
  * [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:datatables|DataTables]]: DataTables jQuery plugin implementation – fancier than DokuWiki’s builtin tables.
  * [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:diagrams|diagrams]]: diagrams.net/draw.io-based diagramming tool – might be good for network maps?
  * [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:edittable|EditTable]]: A visual table editing and creation plugin.
  * [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:mikioplugin|mikioplugin]]: Adds a lot of Bootstrap page elements, and designed to work with the mikio template (see below).

  * [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:timezoneco|Timezone changer]]: Set your site’s timezone so you see correct times on page modified dates, etc.
