[PHP] PHP wiki recommendations

2005-09-08 Thread Murray @ PlanetThoughtful
Hi All,

I want to add a wiki to my blog site to help create a knowledgebase of the
characters, localities, stories I write to make it easier for new visitors
to delve into the areas that interest them.

I've been experimenting with a couple of different wiki packages, but am
always interested in others' thoughts and recommendations.

In particular, I've looked at MediaWiki and PmWiki. Of the two, I like
MediaWiki's 'completeness', but it's also quite slow and doesn't strike me
as being particularly (or easily?) customizable. PmWiki is probably my
current candidate, but again I'd like to make sure I'm not missing a more
obvious choice.

My shopping list for the ideal wiki application is:

- wiki entries preferably stored in MySQL tables. I'm not adamant about this
(eg PmWiki uses files rather than a db backend), but it would suit my
purposes better to be able to draw from the wiki tables from the front page
of my blog to show lists of recently added and recently updated wiki entries

- non-reliance on CamelCase wiki links. Many of my characters etc use joined
CamelCase names (eg KillFork and DangerSpoon), and to avoid confusion I'd
rather explicitly define links to wiki content

- ability to categorize wiki entries

- ability to compare history of wiki edits and easily reinstate older edits
if wiki pages get 'graffiti'd' 

- ability to allow others to edit / create wiki entries, thru a user id /
password system, so that regulars who would like to participate can do so

- ability to customize presentation of wiki pages, presumably through CSS
etc, so that I can maintain the 'look and feel' of my blog thru the wiki
content

- PHP based, though my host does run Perl, so if the killer wiki app is a
Perl-based one, I'm sure I can muddle thru implementing it

If anyone has any recommendations for other wiki applications I should look
at before making a decision, I'd love to hear from you!

Much warmth,

Murray

The php.net site doesn't really need a wiki.

or did you mean is there a php-based wiki?

More than I can count.

 Is there a need for one?

Will you fill it up with Good Content?
Or will it be a cobweb?

I personally just don't find myself going back to Wikis and forums and
blogs very often.

Many people thrive on them.

Some folks say If you build it, they will come.

Me, I think it's more along the lines of:
If you build it, and maintain it, and expand it, and maintain it, and
improve it, and maintain it, they will come.

[PHP] PHP Wiki recomendations

2004-12-25 Thread Greg Donald
Could anyone recommend a good PHP-based Wiki script, for PHP 4.x? 
I've been testing a bunch of them and almost all seem to be crap so
far.

Thanks..
