TOOLBAR

This wiki does not have all the tools found in a word processor such as MS WORD but it does come with a fairly decent set. Additional tools have been provided through the use of “plugins”. Following is a list of plugins helpful for creating content:

Additional editing information may be found on DokuWiki syntax page and in the DokuWiki manual (Note: clicking on this link will result in leaving this page unless you open it in another tab or window.)

Columns Plugin Example

Shown below is what can be done with the “Columns” plugin. Headlines have been included to show the available column widths.

COLUMN 1

information in column 1 (50% of page width)

COLUMN 2

information in column 2 (25% of page width)

COLUMN 3

information in column 3 (remainder of page width)

Syntax for the above example is as follows:

<columns 100% 50% 25% - >

==== COLUMN 1 ====

###
information in column 1 (50% of page width)
###

<newcolumn>

==== COLUMN 2 ====

###
information in column 2 (25% of page width)
###

<newcolumn>

==== COLUMN 3 ====

###
information in column 3 (remainder of page width)
###

</columns>

Video Share Plugin Example

The Video Share Plugin is embedded using the video share parameters. The file to embed, the dimension of the flash object and the alignment has to be given space separated in the opening tag. Name-Value pairs for the parameters are then given in the body. Supported alignments are left, center and default. Below is an example using a YouTube Video. HIT WEBPAGE BACK ARROW TO RETURN TO THIS PAGE.

WIKIS in Plain English



Usage/Syntax for the above example is as follows: The basic syntax looks like this: START WITH 2 { videosite>videoid?parameter1&parameter2|title AND END WITH 2 } Video Share Plugin (Note: clicking on this link will result in leaving this page unless you open it in another tab or window.)

A basic gallery can be added by selecting a namespace like this:

{{gallery>namespace}}

All image files in the selected namespace will be added to the image gallery. Don't forget the ”:” in front of the namespace.

The created gallery can be aligned by using white space (defaults to center):

{{gallery> namespace}} (right aligned)
{{gallery>namespace }} (left aligned)
{{gallery> namespace }} (centered)

Parameters

A number of parameters can be set by appending them with ? character to the namespace or image. Each parameter needs to be separated with a & character. Defaults for all parameters can be set in the config manager. If a parameter is enabled by default it can be disabled in the syntax by prefixing it with the syllable no. e.g. the parameter cache is usually enabled and can be disabled using the keyword nocache. Below is a list of all recognized parameters.

Parameter Default Description
<number>x<number> 120x120 Sets the size for thumbnails. Unless the crop option is set, this is a boundary box into which the thumbnail will be fitted, maintaining the correct aspect ratio.
<number>X<number> 800X600 Sets the size for the linked images in direct mode. This is a boundary box into which the image will be fitted, maintaining the correct aspect ratio. Note the uppercase X.
<number> 5 The number images per row in the gallery table. If you specify a 0 no table is used instead all thumbnails are added in a sequence.
=<number> =0 Limits the output to the given number of images. 0 means all.
+<number> +0 Skip the first number of images. Useful with the option above.
~<number> ~0 Add a pagination for the thumbnails displaying the number of given thumbnails per page. 0 disables pagination. Pagination is added through JavaScript - when no JavaScript is available all thumbnails are displayed
cache enabled Usually the output of the created gallery is cached. When the images in your selected namespace change, you have to manually force an update of the gallery page's cache. To disable the cache for the page showing the gallery, set nocache as option.
crop disabled Make thumbnails the exact given thumbnail size big, cropping when needed.
direct disabled Link thumbnails with the bigger sized images not with their detail page
lightbox disabled Show images in a fancy JavaScript modal browsing window, see below for details. Setting this option automatically implies the direct mode
reverse disabled Reverse the order of the displayed images
recursive enabled Find images in the given namespace and all sub namespaces
random disabled Sort images randomly. You might want to use nocache as well
modsort disabled Sort images by file modification date
datesort disabled Sort images by EXIF date
titlesort disabled Sort images by EXIF title
showname disabled Show filename below thumbnails
showtitle disabled Show EXIF title below thumbnails
anything containing a * jpg,gif,png images This can be used to filter the list of files found in the given namespace. * work as simple wildcard symbol.

Example:

{{gallery>images:vacation?image_*.jpg&80x80&crop&lightbox}}

This displays all images beginning with image_ and ending in .jpg from the namespace images:vacation. Thumbnails are cropped to 80×80 pixels and images will be opened in lightbox mode.

Lightbox Mode

This mode will open the clicked picture inside the current browser window without leaving the current page1). You can close the picture view by clicking the little X in the upper right corner or anywhere in the picture. You can move to the next or previous image by using the arrow buttons in the lower corners.

The picture is downsized if necessary to fit into the current browser window. You can enlarge it with the arrow button in the top corner.

The following keys can be used to navigate:

Key Action
or n next image
or p previous image
x or c or ESC close the image view
