Current features
Here are the currently implemented features. Some need more work of course.
themes
Easy to make, easy to change.
Currently Wiclear has the same themes capability as dotclear.
Current wiki version comes with three themes : default, blue and dokuwiki.
multi lang support
Wiki fully supports i18n (both the interface and the content).
Display the content according to user's lang and switch back to the wiki's default lang if not found.
It provides links to translate pages when needed.
hierarchical content
All nodes have a parent. That means it is easy to navigate in the site, simply follows the sub node panel on the left or the location bar on the top.
That also means orphan pages cannot happen.
commentable content
I find this one really usefull when you want to create some docs.
history
can be saved, browsed, and diff can be performed against any versions
search capability
you can enter search keywords
you can see last modifications
ACLs
Each pages have ACL. ACL can be editable and applied to current page or recursively to all sub nodes.
comment and history deletion
for moderators only
Admin panel
Where you can
- edit user's rights (admin, moderator, simple user)
- delete/confirm user
- create and edit groups
- edit wiki preferences (name, allow anonymous comments, allow anonymous content edition, allow open user registration ...)
Install program
The wizard is done in 4 steps, and you're done : you can start editing your wiki.
Syndication
RSS (0.91 and 1.0) and ATOM version of the "Recent changes" page.
plugin architecture
This is available both in the admin panel and in the wiki application.
For now, there is an UTF-8 conversion plugin, and a SitePlan plugin.
UTF-8 support
It's given as a plugin that allows one to convert the whole db from latin1 to UTF-8.
what links here feature
so that it is possible to know which pages link on current page
email notifications
Allow the user to be notified when someone edit a page or add a comment to a page he is watching.
Alternate title
So that it is possible to specify a more readable title in some cases (traduction, title collision)
Friendly page displayed when browsing to wiki root before install
WikiWord
Detect words with at least 2 upper case letters and make a link out of it.
Anti bot registration page
So that bot cannot easily register.
Delete documents
For admin and moderators
SpecialPages
They have the format SpecialPage:string.
For example : SpecialPage:site_plan
Site plan
Automatically generates site plan on one page with shrinkable trees (need javascript).
Conflict handling when editing a page
When a conflict is detected, contents are merged. Last user is responsible for resolving eventual conflicts.
keywords and metadata on each pages
so that related pages can be added to current page
RSS feed
Global :
- last changement
- last comments
Per page :
- page changement (history)
- comments of page
Rss feeds contain either the title or the whole content.
Title of the page in the browser
Modify the title of the page so that it is more understandable. It contains at least
- the page's title
- the current action (edition, add, comment)
- the plugin's name (site plan, recent changes ...)
It allows to have better understandable entries in the history
Wanted features
Here are features I'd like, features I need to improve
user home page
allow registered users to have dedicated home page where they can enter what they want
Image upload tool for users
Allow users to upload images so that it is not necessary to have server access to do it.
Add an option to use wiki2xhtml as well
Have an install option where you can point to an existing database.
Don't understand this one
Ability to create users from the Admin interface
OK. I'd personally prefer to let the user do the registration themselves but I guess this is a matter of taste.
The ability to attach files to pages
Same kind of things as the wanted feature "Image upload tool for users" : once I've done it with images, I'll have done it with files.
Cache
Trackbacks
Allow html/php content
Html content is available provided an option is activated using the admin panel (since 0.8.2).
Inter wiki link
So that it is possible to quickly create links to other web sites. Example : [Wikipedia:html] would create a link to the wikipedia web page. It should be possible to extend the notation to make link automatically to other sites. For example : [bugzilla:32008]
Advanced rights
Read/modification/Add ...
Accessibility with key shortcuts
Use AccessKeys ...
Search form
- have a case insensitive search
- display search query in search results
Comments
- being able to edit our own comments
- handle line feeds
- add a small icon before comment's title so that it is possible to have a direct link to it within the page
