Hi David, Looks like an exciting project and great to see that you are reusing ideas and templates from the OERNZ project. Wow -- we're impressed you've basically got all the setup working nicely. Well done!
On this page: http://wikieducator.org/Template:Inputbox_Reef_Rainforest_Lesson_Plan Go into edit view, and you will see the following syntax: <inputbox> type=comment bgcolor=#F7F9EE width=70 preload=Patukae_College/OER_Reef_and_Rainforest_wiki_in_Marovo_Language/Lesson_Plan_template/preload_page buttonlabel=Create a new Reef and Rainforest lesson plan break=yes </inputbox> The page containing the text for the preload is: http://wikieducator.org/Patukae_College/OER_Reef_and_Rainforest_wiki_in_Marovo_Language/Lesson_Plan_template/preload_page If you edit the preload text page above -- it will change the default text which the input box will preload. (Make sure that you only change the text on your preload page -- and not the preload pages for other input boxes in the wiki.) For more info on the Input box feature see: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:InputBox You're almost there -- well done!
