MoodleDoc Wiki page naming

I need to share an outline, everytime I look at these pages the names do not follow function or how other modules page naming convention.

• Wiki module
  • This is easy, Gives over view
• Adding/Editing a wiki
  • This phrase in other modules refers to setup and editing the activity settings
  • Perhaps the Administration dropdown menu should also go here.

• Viewing a wiki
  • I think this should be about Viewing and editing wiki pages, the 4 tabs.
  • Perhaps the Choose wiki links dropdown menu should go here
  • Search wiki
  • Overview of the components of a wiki page
  • Printing a wiki page

• Exporting a wiki
  • What are the various ways.
  • HTML web pages

I feel much more organized now, although the page name is not really following the functions :) --Chris collman 14:10, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Hi Chris, have you tried following the links to the documentation from within Moodle? The page names in the documentation should be (almost) the same as the page names in Moodle.

• mod/wiki/view links to Viewing a wiki
• mod/wiki/mod links to Adding/editing a wiki
• mod/wiki/admin links to Wiki administration

Thanks for your contributions to the documentation :-) --Helen Foster 14:57, 14 February 2007 (CST)

Different versions settings

In Moodle 1.7 demo.moodle, I don't see how to create the matrix (see below). I noticed the help screen shows the matrix but there is no Group Type setting in 1.7. Is this my ignorance of a Moodle wiki and/or my normal thick headed perspective? Help!

Humor Alert. Sometimes I get my knuckles wacked with a wet Moodle when I write instructions for a version that has not been released :) I had to put in the 1.8 qualifier until somebody writes how to get the 9 types in 1.7 in newbie language for me. Sigh

I am going to take a guess that the Course setting called Group Type in 1.7 was added to every activity in 1.8 . I will edit the article accordingly.--Chris collman 13:21, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Exploring the 9 Types of Wiki

There are 9 Types of Wiki in Moodle depending on what settings you select during its creation. Here is a link to a Course (http://www.moodle.vitta.org.au/) {this link seems dead?? 404 error Robin Greaves 13:51, 12 October 2007 (CDT)} set up to facilitate exploring each of these. Created by Keith Richardson

Thanks Keith. I liked the resource in the link. I guess if the matrix is part of the help screen in Moodle & I don't need permission. :) --Chris collman 11:29, 29 December 2006 (CST)

"Unless the group mode has been forced by the course settings, it can be set with the groups icons on the course home page after the wiki has been created."
