How To Use

dvsDave

NuWiki uses vBulletin's BBCode and WYSIWYG editor for creating and editing wiki content.

NuWiki extends vBulletin BBCode as follows:

Creating links to NuWiki Articles

You can create links to NuWiki Articles through the use of the WIKI bbcode. The following example will create a link to a NuWiki Article named 'NuWiki FAQ'.

PHP Code:


			
[wiki]NuWiki FAQ[/wiki]

If the article to which the link points does not exist, the link is shown in red color.
In addition there is a 'short-hand' notation that can be used to create wiki links:

Adding Headlines

You can add headlines (headers) to a wiki article by using the following NuWiki BBCodes:

Code:

[h1]headline text[/h1]
[h2]headline text[/h2]
[h3]headline text[/h3]
[h4]headline text[/h4]
[h5]headline text[/h5]
[h6]headline text[/h6]
[h7]headline text[/h7]

Alternatively, you can enclose headline text with "=" sign for headlines; incrementing amount of the sings will give you sub-headline:

Code:

==headline==
===sub-headline===

Table of Content

If an article has 4 or more headlines, a table of content with links to the different sections is added at the top of the article.

Controlling the Table of Content location and visibility

NuWiki will add a Table of Content to an article whenever there are at least 4 headlines present. However, there are a couple of 'magic words' that can alter this default behavior:
The following magic word will hide the Table of Content regardless of the number of headlines present in the article.

The following magic word will instruct NuWiki to show the Table of Content if at least there is one headline in the article.

If you want to change the default location of the Table of Content, use the following magic word to indicate its new location.

SHOWTHREADS

Using the SHOWTHREADS BBCode will add a list of the latest thread from a forum into a NuWiki Article.
The syntax for SHOWTHREADS is as follows:

Code:

[showthreads=count]forumid[/showthreads]

Where:

count is the number of threads to list, if not specified, 10 threads are shown.
forumid is the forum id from where to list threads, if not specified, the latest thread in the forum are shown.

Here is an example:

Code:

[showthreads=5]236[/showthreads]

Will produce:

TEMPLATE BBCode

NuWiki Templates use the following syntax:

Code:

[template]Template Name[/template]

More information can be found in the NuWiki Templates Article.

DIV BBCode

The DIV BBCode allows greater flexibility in editing NuWiki Articles.
The syntax is as follows:

Code:

[div=css styles]content[/div]

Where css styles is a semi-color (

separated list of CSS Styles.
For instance:

Code:

[div=color: red; font-weight: bold; border: 2px dashed blue; background: #FFFFC0; width:50%; text-align:center]This is some text[/div]

Will produce:

This is some text

Redirect

NuWiki supports the concept of Article Redirects. Having an article which contains a #REDIRECT followed with a wiki link, will instruct NuWiki to redirect to the viewer to the new article.
The syntax is as follows:

Code:
