How do I configure the wiki? These notes are based on email from Jonathan Sprinkle (Thanks Jon!)
Wiki OverviewThe way the wiki works is a little bit tricky. (tricky wiki) We use PmWiki and wiki farms. Each workgroup that has a wiki has a few configuration
files checked in to CVS under cvs -d :ext:source.eecs.berkeley.edu:/home/cvs_trust co workgroupNameOnce you make your changes, check them in and then click on the CVS Update link on the main page.

How do I edit pages in a group with the "CVS Authoring" option?
Things that appear at the top of a wiki pageChanging the titleTo change the title to anything you would like, use: (:title Foo Bar:) Table of ContentsPageTableOfContents: looks for tags like(:toc:)See PageTableOfContents for details. Useful style directivesCommentsTo create a comment in the wiki, use:(:if false:) text to omit (:ifend:) Wiki comments are a good way to tell editors about details such as that lists should be alphabetical. sourceblockBy the way, if you're adding code segments to the wiki, we
installed the sourceblock package from the cookbook:
(:source:) $ ls -la (:sourcend:)To get those nifty little boxes that call out source from readable text. You can give specific languages and it will format that text correctly as well... (:source lang=bash header=/etc/bash.bashrc:) export ICE_HOME=/opt/Ice-3.1.0 export PATH=$ICE_HOME/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ICE_HOME/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH (:sourcend:)As from http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/dgc3/wiki/Dgc3/ComputerConfigOrca2Prereq
Languages that are supported can be found here (GeSHi tool):
emenuExpandingMenu is another possibility. It is used by the Escher WikiWiki Configuration things to trySkinsPmWiki Skins can be used to change the look and feel.If you want to try a new a skin, then the website admins probably
need to add it to the wiki-wide skins directory. For example,
As of 1/7, we have the simple and monobook skins.
The monobook skin is now the default. The monobook skin
is similar to the skin used by
Wikipedia.
To select a skin, create <?php # Specifies the name of the template file # to be used to generate pages. $Skin = 'simple'; ?>Note: the file must start with <?
and end with ?> . The last line
must end in a new line
It is possible to place a copy of the skins directory
in your own wiki, but this gets confusing since the paths
tend to look for files in the wiki-wide directory. If
you find a skin you would like to try, send email
to An example config.phpA more complex <?php if (!defined('PmWiki')) exit(); $WikiTitle = "DARPA Grand Challenge 3 (DGC3)"; $PageLogoUrl = "http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu/dgc3/images/gdc150.gif"; $DefaultPasswords['admin'] = crypt('notarealpassword'); $EnableUpload = 1; $DefaultPasswords['upload'] = crypt('notanotherrealpass'); include_once('cookbook/sourceblock.php'); putenv("TZ=EST5EDT"); $TimeFmt = '%B %d, %Y, at %I:%M %p EST'; ?> JsMenuJsMath:Add markup to display and embed mathematical formulas in wiki pages using TeX was set up and could be set up againUpload ExtensionsTo add an extension to the list of acceptable extensions to be uploaded, add$UploadExts['wmv'] = 'video/wmv';to web/wiki/local/config.php in the
cvs repository for the group. Then do a cvs update:
