On my Wiki / Wikka efforts
Working on a Wikka installation - for now only on my laptop Alan, as preparation for a (hopefully) community-supported user manual effort for an on-line forum system.User accounts
My first focus is on making the process around user accounts somewhat more user-friendly as well as more secure - after all, if we are going to have user accounts with associated rights, we should also ensure those accounts themselves are secure. I'll describe those efforts (and share results) on a UserSettingsAndPasswords page here.Related to UserSettings and a few other actions, something else I encountered while working on a few user-related actions: I found there are some issues with how email addresses are handled in Wikka; an overview on WikkaAndEmail - some code to be added later. On this page I'll also be relating to some WikiRoles; more on this in the next paragraph.
While working on a re-write of an action, and trying to develop a "clean pattern" for it, some thoughts occurred to me about the various roles people may have with respect to a Wiki. Thinking about the roles made it easier for me to write the code (I'll explain that later); first, here are my thoughts on WikiRoles (updated, in an attempt at clarification). Comments welcome, of course.
Calendar action
Starting with GmBowen's GmBowenCalendar I offered to make a "cleaned up" variant of the Calendar action for inclusion in the next (1.1.6.0) release; the result not only produces accessible table code but also has slightly extended functionality. I'm presenting it on JwCalendar with comments.Wikka Code Structure
I just created a page describing my proposal for a WikkaCodeStructure new directory structure to organize the Wikka code.Integration of GeSHi with Wikka
I've worked out a way to integrate GeSHi with Wikka that is very flexible: new language files can be "dropped in" without changing the code, line numbering is possible and can be enabled by a WikiAdmin and then "turned on" for an individual code block by the end user. See WikkaGeSHiIntegration for the details (try it for yourself!).I've also created a little action that will automatically produce documentation about which language parser files are available for code highlighting - see HighlighterAction for the code and screenshots of output.
More as I get to it...
A little about myself
I've been working in I(C)T since the 1980's although at present I'm unemployed. I live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and run a couple of websites (won't mention them all here unless you want me to). My main hobbies are traveling and photography.If you google for "javawoman" you might find a little more (including sites that have nothing to do with me, of course). :)
