Hi all,
I've seen a couple questions about customization of templates to translate CoWebs into
other languages... and there was a nice start to a something that went out ("The
Idiot's Guide") that contained some important questions, in addition to good
description of the Swiki strucutre.
I'm still feeling a bit unequipped to make the major changes to look and feel that my
project group is looking for. One example that is particularly intriguing to me comes
from a course at GATech that had "Student Curated Galleries." Here, there was typical
Swiki functionality throughout, but pages for uploading and commenting on student work
were highly customized, with a form that replaced the normal edit for those pages.
The form allows for easy selecting of images uploaded and adding comments to those
images. I have some sense that a major class of pages can be edited, by changing a
template, but I'm not sure how the edit button had this different functionality on
these special pages and regular functionality elsewhere on the site. [Note the
difference in edit on http://herring.cc.gatech.edu:8080/2cool/3186/ vs.
http://herring.cc.gatech.edu:8080/2cool/3140 ]
Any help with using forms would be much appreciated (i.e. if anyone has documented
their process, or knows where I can learn more).
On a more technical note, I noticed on the Architecure reference page
(http://seaweed.cc.gatech.edu/refs/4) that one should not do edits while the server is
running. Ideally, I'd like to keep our main Swiki up and running while I'm working on
customizing a new Swiki. It doesn't seem possible to run multiple instances of the
ComSwiki server (serving on different ports) from within the same instance of Squeak,
since I don't know how to change what directory the Comanche looks to to serve up the
various Swikis. Is it possible to run multiple instances of Squeak, and have a
Comanche running within each of those (serving on different ports)?
Thanks... sorry to flood the list with these newbie questions.
Peace,
Tony Engel
