~~NOCACHE~~ //This page last changed ~~LASTMOD~~ visits: {{counter|today| time| times}} today, {{counter|yesterday| time| times}} yesterday, and {{counter|total| time total so far| total times}}// =====Dokuwiki Annoyances===== //These are notes for Dokuwiki functions that I find helpful and that I've used throughout this wiki. This information is not intended to replace the plugin and Dokuwiki documentation, as that is the basis for what I've extracted here.// ====The dropdowns in upper-right don't work==== When you select the person-dropdown and others in upper right to right of Search, nothing happens. You expect to see your name, update profile, and admin, but the dropdown doesn't drop down. This is because a flag defer_js is set. To undo this: * You can put the following line in /conf/local.php:\\ $conf["defer_js"] = true; * Or you can try going to\\ /doku.php?do=admin&page=config\\ directly to make the change.\\ For here it would be\\ https://wiki.toku.us/doku.php?do=admin&page=config On the config page, the setting is in Feature Flags, after Advanced and before Network ====Inserting Picture Files==== If you upload a jpg and can't get it to be inserted, this is why. You need to rename its extent to jpeg, upload, and reference it with .jpeg extent. So you need to rename ''something.jpg'' to be ''something.jpeg'', upload and reference it as ''something.jpeg'': ''{{something.jpeg?linkonly}}'' (the 'linkonly' is optional, it links to the picture, click-to-see-it, rather than insert-the-picture-here) ====Tables==== ===Including | in Table Entry=== Using | in a table\\ Normally, when you use a ''|'' inside a table, it's treated as start-next-column. If you want it to be treated as a regular character (for example: ''ls | more'' in Linux, where the | is the pipe command, then surround the | with a double ''%'' or surround it with %%<%%nowiki%%>%%.


|paging file listing | ls -lt %%|%% more | ls -lt | more |

 text-1   text-2   text-3   text-4

text-1 text-2 text-3 text-4 ===Specifying column widths==== Put this on the line before the start of the table. This example shows a spec for a 4-column table. 100% means the table will fill the page horizontally. The 14%, 10%, and 1% specify the relative width for those three columns; the ''-'' means to use whatever is left in that column (in this case it will be 100-14-10-1 or about 75%).


|< 100% 14% - 10% 1%>|
|Col1|Column 2, the wordy column.|Column 3|4th|

|< 100% 14% - 10% 1%>| |Col1|Column 2, the wordy column.|Column 3|4th| This example is for a 3-column table, that's only using 3/4 of page width. The first two columns are smaller and the remainder of the table is taken by the contents of the 3rd column.

Insert using CSV or reference a CSV file that's in the wiki. **//Inline CSV//**\\ Save the spreadsheet page as a CSV file, then open the file using text editor, copy all and paste between the csv's:



copied,csv,file,goes,here

**//use file in media area//**\\ You copy the CSV file to your media area. Maybe it's in namespace ''abc'' and file is named ''mystuff.csv''.

**//Options of note//** * Format first (eg) 2 rows as column headers: ''hdr_rows=2'' * Format first (eg) 1 column as column header: ''hdr_cols=1'' * Limit result to 12 rows: ''maxlines=12'' * Skip first 7 rows in file: ''offset=7'' For example



abc,def,ghi
jkl,mno,pqr

abc,def,ghi jkl,mno,pqr ---- ====Using the Gallery Plugin==== ==Add photos by using a namespace==


{{gallery>:namespace}}

All image files in that namespace will be added to the gallery. Don't forget the colon, '':'' ==Options of note== Aligning the pictures


{{gallery> :namespace?options go here}}    (right aligned)
{{gallery>:namespace?options go here }}    (left aligned)
{{gallery> :namespace?options go here }}   (centered)


{{gallery>:namespace?showname&nocrop&1024X768&200x150}}

====Add text from a file with wrapping==== You have text you want to add to a wiki page, and you want to make sure that it's inserted with line wraps. For example if you have the text

But you want it to look like this, note that you don't have to scroll left and right to read the whole line:

You surround the lines as follows:

When the wiki processes this, it'll do the line wrapping on the Sabine line.
