dfwiki requests

Since all new dfwiki development has moved to NWiki I've moved all this items to the NWiki roadmap page --Ludo (Marc Alier) 01:56, 4 June 2007 (CDT)

Use this page for requests of bugfixes and new features on the NWiki The DFwikiteam will keep a sharp eye on the list.

Pending

Templates

• Add templates so that some content can be made available to all groups when they start using a wiki (coming up April 2007)

block wikipage

Would be useful to have a block with the content of a wikipage.

If you select 'social' course format you have the option of inserting a social activities block... I don't get that option for the DFWiki, but I think I should so I can add other Moodle activities...

otherwise, when I go to admin/site I can choose to display a topic section where I can put activities and this may be an alternative solution.

Note: In theme Including wiki page in other Moodle resources was announced filter, which can include wiki-page into any filterable place. In summ with existing html block it sounds like solution for this suggestion! --Ne Nashev 07:52, 26 March 2006 (WST)

Including wiki page in other Moodle resources

I suggest add to standard filters (like Autoformat, Markdown) tag which allow include content (not a link) of wiki page (without editing). This will allow to use wiki as general place for storage texts and use them in resources, lessons and so on.

Note: In theme Including wiki page in other Moodle resources was announced this filter

Diff issues

https://docs.moodle.org/en/index.php?title=dfwiki_requests&diff=4827&oldid=4826

That's the kind of interface that would be nice to add to dfwiki.

mailto

• a mailto link for dfwiki has already ben developed must be included in next release

The words "Change to one of the following editors" tells the new user to change to an editor other than the default editor. As this works now, the choice cannot be changed once selected.

In order to avoid this confusion, the teacher should be able to make the default editor the only choice.

In the meantime, the option "Change to one of the following editors" could be moved down below the buttons: save, preview, cancel.

That way new users will be more likely to use the default editor and not lock themselves into one of the other options. forum tread

About Moodle groups

1. It appeared from our testing that setting up a wiki to have separate groups kept everyone except group members out of the wiki (including the teacher). In other moodle assignments an instructor is not limited by enabling grouping - which is why you do not put a teacher in a group!
2. Visible groups enabled all others to see other groups' wikis, but also appeared to give them editing privileges in another groups' wiki.

Moodle wide metawiki

We need a metawiki index to easily link between wikis. The idea is to have admin tool to manage the wiki-names to be able to refer easily from one wiki to another like this:

[wiki-name:wikipagename|label to link]

Special wiki pages

Wiki reference.

To implement biblio references... a link like [ref:refname] Will lead us to a editing page with a form (maybe a [[database module]] form) to enter the biblio reference ( title, author, isbn, link , pages ... and so on )... Once we got that any page with a reference to a biblio ref will get printed at its bottom the complete reference and a link to it.

This feature proposal comes within the [[wikibook]] line of work

Coses rares

Ops ops... bug obert.

• Quan edito característiques del curs no em deixa escollir tipus editor, i quan importo continguts les pagines no passen pel parser!

Quan edito i deso llavors es veuen bé. Jo flipo!

• Les pagines wanted i pàgines orfes fan el que els rota
• el wikibook no usa els sinonims.

weird course interaction stuff

If you select 'social' course format you have the option of inserting a social activities block... I don't get that option if I select DFWiki, but I think I should so I can add other Moodle activities... (using Moodle 1.6)

Otherwise, when I go to admin/site I can choose to display 1 topic section where I can put activities and this may be an alternative solution.

Also if I modify a course that had a different format, such as topics ,to be DFWiki the course crashes and you cannot get back to original course format because of the error it throws up.

Add automatic transliteration of the non-latin page names

This must solve all problems with non-latin pagenames. For each language can exist transliteration to the latin alphabet, that can be placed in language pack. Wiki module can use it to automatically translate page names for internal purposes, especially for passing as parameter in the URL string, while keeping original name for the user. This simple feature can save a lot of trouble with non-latin pagenames.

There is an example of the wiki with this feature: WackoWiki. It's Open Source Project, written on PHP.

Fixed

Inconsistencies with Standard Moodle Behaviour

username is used to identify the user in the database instead of userid. This is also displayed to students and teachers instead of user's full name. This is a serious bug because it poses a security risk to students by revealing their userid to all, and it is also a serious issue because anyone can change their username at any time, unlike userid. This problem exists in both Dfwiki and the new wiki.

FIXED

Grading system

A way to grade users that contribute with the wiki

This issue has been implemented in two ways in new wiki

• Grades
• Votes + ranking block

dfwiki and new wiki documentation

Improve differences

• Create a more user friendly (WYSIWYG) view for the history/diff mode. Something similar to what was available in the "old" wiki would be enough, but I'm sure you guys can make it even better :-}.

Actually, I just saw the view for the diff format in this wiki (the one where MoodleDOCS are created) and it does just what I want: example of how it looks

End

And back to Dfwiki
