Description

This is an absolutely FANTASTIC module! It set up with far less difficulty than any other wiki soluation for Drupal so far. I only had to enable the filter and create a specialized content type for my needs. If you'd like to see your module in action, check out http://www.kfol.org/. On to my question...

Any plans to implement tabs for discussion and revisions like in Mediawiki? Currently I have comments enabled for discussion. Would views be capable of accomplishing this? I'd like to help out with documenting your project. I think it's a great module and a feature Drupal has been missing. I personally think it should be submitted for CORE. Anyhow, if you'd like to give some guidance about how I can start documenting what's here (as I unfortunately did not find much documentation), please let me know.

Never mind the revisions tab. That is obviously handled by CORE and came up (duh) after I made a revision. I am renaming this issue accordingly.

I'm sorry for the late response. I've had a lot to do lately (as usual... :( )

I've been mening to add this feature for some time now, but it hasn't reached the top priority yet.

A discussion/talk tab has been on the topic before and the suggestion was then turned down with the argument that drupal supports comments on pages wich fills this requirement. The main problem was, however, that the old version of liquid had no means of allowing such extensions without implementing them into the liquid core (and talk pages are definitely an optional extension and not a core feature). Since then, a number of plugg points have been added to the liquid core allowing for extensions of this type.

Hope this answers your question.

With regard to documentation: that would be greate! There is a problem, though. Since liquid is nearly completely rewritten in each revision many things change (also on user level). I'm currnetly planning a complete redesign of liquid to make content handeling somewhat more dynamic...

Soren,
Thanks for your reply and sorry for not replying that I had read it. I am still very interested in working on documentation with you. I will send you a direct message about this.
