Re: [Pws] Where's the Edit Button?
Aniweb and CoWeb users are not done in the same way. AniWeb is stored in the default/users folders. CoWeb is part of the security settings. If you create a security profile while creating the aniweb, you may have a problem. Delete any security profile in the Admin panel. When you click Sign In, do you see a place to create a new account? If so, create the account. Also, explore ALL folders in your swiki directory to understand how these are arranged.

Re: [Pws] Where's the Edit Button?
The admin password has nothing to do with the Aniwebs. Go to the Users tab and see who is there--make one of those the owner. Try creating an account on the sign in page and have it mail you your password. If you don't have email enabled (that will make it tough!) go to the Swiki installation and find the users folder in default (dig through the directories). Users are just 1, 2, 3, ... etc. Open the file--you'll see the password in plain text. Try that. Also, create another Aniweb and try that. Make sure it inherits from Ani and not Refs. Also create a CoWeb using Refs and see if that works. Derrel At 06:22 PM 10/16/2008, Donald MacQueen wrote: I downloaded and installed OneOfTheseDays.zip.

Re: [Pws] Fwd: Help! Our Swiki stopped working and our content is inside
Go into your ComSwiki folder and delete the SqueakDebug.log, then try starting Squeak again. Now post the contents of Squeak.ini and also the contents of SqueakDebug.log file. That will help. In the meantime, you can copy the entire ComSwiki folder to another machine and try it there. If you have a PC, download ComSwiki for the PC and try your files with the Squeak.exe from the PC.

Months ago, maybe a year ago, one of my colleagues wanted to learn about wikis and so I figured out how to bring up a swiki in a squeak image and I set it up on her Mac to play with. In the course of playing she got some of our other colleagues using it for collaboration. Everything went swimmingly and it got used more and more but never in such a way that I worried to document what I had done. Now something has gone wrong and we haven't the slightest idea what, nor do we have much recollection even of what we were using. Below is a picture of what it looked like when it was working.

Re: [Pws] moving Swiki from Windows to Linux
IF you are running the same versions, you should just be able to move the folders of the CoWebs you have created (not refs, ani, or default) in Windows to the Linux server for most cases. You will run into problem IF you are using Swikis based on Ani in both sites. In this case you have to move the users in default/users, but the user file numbers will overlap when you move them. In this case, you need to get a file renaming program and just rename the users so they are numbered sequentially. If you have the identical users in both Swikis, the one with the higher file number is the one that gets used.

Re: [Pws] how create an ani swiki?
Hi James, The users you create in the admin panel really don't have anything to do with Aniwebs. First, you have to create an account on the sign-in page, then it will email you the account password and username. You then go to the users section of the admin panel to make the user an owner if that person will have full privileges in the site. (The owner can change the looks and assign access to other users). That means your email has to be set up on your local machine and how you do that depends on your OS. If you are running inside a firewall and you already have an SMTP server you can connect to, just enter that name in the admin panel. Users are tracked by Email, not username. You can also find the password by opening in the appropriate XML file (probably 1.xml) in /swiki/default/users. Once you log in, you can change the password.

Re: [Pws] Swiki Rendering, codes in titles, launching MediaPlayer
Hi Jeff, Thanks for looking into rendering; I swear it worked on Winterlong. I have had rendering halt after writing a few pages on earlier versions, but that was usually traced to mismatched asterisks as my sixth graders tried to use them to illustrate multiplication procedures. As far as putting code into the title, you basically can't. Several things are not allowed through the Swiki syntax (@:*). These are pretty ingrained into the system, so I don't see any way around that. I've found everything from inline styles to javascript embedded in the titles. The eighth graders are particularly fond of setting each letter to a different color on their page so the *Who Is* page has all the different colors. I'll fix it when one of the little tykes uses onmouseover in the title so that simply mousing over their link in the *Who Is* page loads their page. Highly annoying. And if they use a font tag to change their font in the title some will forget to close the tag, which means the changes page below their page takes on that font. I remember Mark describing Swiki as anarchic at CSCL 2002. It surely is but our teachers don't have a problem with that. As far as IE vs. Firefox, that's a really tricky one. It sounds like Firefox is downloading the file and then opening up MediaPlayer on the file. Since FireFox has permission to get the file, this works. IE, on the other hand, is just forwarding the URL to MediaPlayer. Since MediaPlayer does not have the authentication, it has to ask for it. Could you perhaps reconfigure IE to download the video before it passes it on to MediaPlayer. Otherwise, this seems pretty difficult to solve. We'll investigate IE configuration but your explanation sounds logical. Another thing you could try is, if you know all the IPs in the classroom, just give all of those IPs read or read/write access to the site. Hmm, interesting idea. This is on our external server so all of the 900 computers in the school appear as the same IP but maybe we can work with that. I'll pass that on to the lower school IT coordinator and see if it works for him. Thanks for your help. I've trained our other IT Coordinators in basic operations so that when I leave for my new school they can continue the Swikis next year to satisfy the demand by teachers.

[Pws] Swiki Rendering, codes in titles, launching MediaPlayer
I have several issues that maybe somebody has some thoughts on. First, I'm trying to render a site of some 950 pages and it won't render. In past verisions, generally a few pages would render and I could find an error in the next page that I could fix. However, no pages are showing up in the rendered folder. I've move the swiki to a different machine, also running one of these days. (The first machine is Windows Server 2003 and the second is XP), and I still haven't gotten it to render. When I turn on the log, it just fills up with forbidden messages as though I have a permissions problem. However, in the browser it properly accepts the username and password used for rendering and never asks for them again. The explorer icon will spin and spin, and the log file will fill up with the same message indicating a permissions problem. Any suggestions? The swiki runs One Of These Days and is based on refs. The second has to do with the title of the page. We are working with middle school students and it takes them about 10 minutes to start putting code in the title. This isn't a problem (unless they fail to properly close the tag) but when the page is edited again it doesn't have the proper opening tag in the title box. Any hints on curing that problem? Third, we are running into an interesting IE permissions issue when view videos. Our fifth graders are creating short podcasts based on their research and uploading them to their swiki. It's a password protected site where the default is deny all. Each student has his own ID and has upload ability. Our issue is that when an MP3 link is selected, MediaPlayer opens (good), but then a password box pops up that requires that the authentication information to be entered again. However with Firefox, MediaPlayer still opens, but does not ask for a password box. Any ideas on this issue?

The page is set to individual logging setting and it allows all to a small list of users. First question. After editing the page, the history of the page shows the machine from where the edits were made. How can I set the history so that the list under the User field shows the user login name and not the machine? Second question. Is there a way users can change their own password? If not, what could be the best way to manage users's password by the administrator (me in this case)? (i.e. assign the same pword to all users or set the password individually for each user?).

[Pws] RSS Function problems
I am trying to use the RSS function using the default settings shown in the help file (?rss src="" href="http://slashdot.org/index.rss" eudora="autourl"> http://slashdot.org/index.rss?) However, the message I get is RSS function unable to contact http://slashdot.org/index.rss Yet when I put the RS URL in the browser on the server, the RSS XML shows up just fine. This is happening on a Windows 2003 server at school and a Redhat Linux server I have at home. The software is Winterlong (Squeak3.6, Comanche 6.2, Swiki 1.4 according to the help file.) Any suggestions? Derrel P.S. For those who are trying to get Coweb to run as a service on Windows 2003, follow the suggestions to get the Server 2003 Resource Kit from Microsoft Downloads and follow the directions in the kit for srvany.exe. ___ Pws mailing list Pws@cc.gatech.edu https://mailman.cc.gatech.edu/mailman/listinfo/pws
[Pws] Running Winterlong on Server 2003
I tested Winterlong on my XP machine as a service and it performed admirably. Then I ported it to our Windows 2003 server so that we could run it on the web. We have IIS on port 80, but I wouldn't expect that to interfere. However, when I try to start Swiki, I get the following errors: Error: no content to install with a debug message under Codeloader installSourceFile: t1 That is immediately followed by another window with Error: a primitive has failed in the Socket(object) (Can I save the debug messages?) This is the same setup that works fine on my Windows XP. I have tried compatibility mode without any success. Any suggestions on what the errors may mean and where to start my troubleshooting?

Re: [Pws] Running the swiki in Windows as a service to start automatically
As I understand it, the full procedure to run Swiki as a service is: 1. Run Swiki first to choose the port and then start the service. Click Save and Exit while the service is running. 2. In a command window, enter a command similar to the following: D:\Winterlong\ComSwiki\squeak -log: D:\Winterlong\ComSwiki\log\log.txt -service: Swiki D:\Winterlong\ComSwiki\squeak.image where the -log: D:\Winterlong\ComSwiki\log\log.txt is optional. 3. In the squeak.ini file, add the line ImageFile=squeak.image How about posting this in the Swiki swiki so that others can see how to do it? I know others would find this very useful.

Re: [Pws] swiki for 60 students
I've used a Swiki with over a 100 students, and I've had 20 editing simultaneously in a lab. These were middle school students and they were able to figure it out. Use Je77's suggestions about how to reduce edit conflicts. Because Swiki maintains an easy-to-access list of changes, nothing is ever really gone. On a related note, I really like Winterlong but is there a place where it matches username to IP address? Since we are behind a NAT when most of the work is done, every change shows exactly the same information, which is not helpful for troubleshooting or assisting students. Christian Noack's enhancements worked passably well in the previous version, but Winterlong really has some benefits.

I'm a bit worried about edit conflicts and could keep that to somewhat of a minimum by not asking them to all post to the same page, but some is inevitable. I sometimes have edit conflicts with myself. Any more detailed information about how and why this happens might be helpful. What is the window of time that swiki flags? Are there stability issues?

[Pws] Swiki status?
Just out of curiosity, what is the current status for Swiki? Is it being worked on at Georgia Tech anymore and are future releases planned? I was disappointed that it did not make it into the article on Wikis in a recent PC Magazine as it is by far the simplest and easiest to get up and running. My standard demo consists of downloading from Minnow, extracting, starting Swiki, and having the person put in the IP address of whatever my machine I'm using to see Swiki pop up in their browser ready to roll. All this takes five minutes or less if I am on a fast connection. Try that with any other Wiki! Derrel ___ Pws mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://mailman.cc.gatech.edu/mailman/listinfo/pws

[pws] User logging feature request
This came up on the list before, but it would be very helpful to have all changes to the Swiki, including text boxes, identified by the user who made the change as it is much more helpful than the computer name that is currently used. I've used the patch, but then page locking doesn't work and it doesn't track people who make additions to a text box. Derrel
Re: [pws] Christian Noacks enhancements with ComSwiki 1.3
Thanks for the help! I was filing in the files backwards. Since all of my Swikis are refs Swikis, I changed advancedDocs to inherit from refs, then changed my existing Swikis to inherit from advancedDocs. Because I wanted to use existing schemes rather than just the advanced project scheme, I edited the actions in advancedDocs to remove the portions that listed references or the password buttons. Otherwise you end up with the message of missing alternate tag in the toolbar.

Re: [pws] Christian Noacks enhancements with ComSwiki 1.3
I couldn't get it to work with ComSwiki 1.3 either. I did figure out a work-around that involved creating it as another type (refs), then manually editing the file to change it to advanced Docs, then restarting the Swiki. The main feature I was interested in was being able to tie a username directly to a change as I work with middle school students and its easier to track down students who are having difficulty.
