Wiki and Drupal

aminfo - August 27, 2007 - 22:33

I am surprised there is not a simple Wiki module for Drupal. Is it because people feel Drupal already does most of what a wiki does. I am looking for a more traditional wiki implementation to integrate with Drupal. The people I am working with are already used to the wiki concept and I would like to offer that within a Drupal environment.

Any suggestions?

There are some Drupal solutions, but it is true that there is not much interest, judging from the user questions in the forum.

- the Liquid Wiki module (http://drupal.org/project/liquid)

- a set of modules to set up a custom Drupal wiki, with different options for its syntax:
http://drupal.org/project/wikitools
http://drupal.org/project/pearwiki_filter
http://drupal.org/project/freelinking

- also Mediawiki has an extension for user authentication via Drupal:

You missed the wiki install profile

The wiki installation profile will set up Drupal with the following settings:

* Editing for anonymous users
* Moderator role which can revert / delete pages
* Revisions for pages
* Mediawiki input format + Image assist
* Categorization via free tagging vocabulary
* Views: All pages / All categories / All Images
* Recent changes

See the readme.txt for the requirements of additional modules prior to installation.

Interesting. Install profiles are going to be a big change in the "Drupal way" of assembling stuff. This one creates a turnkey solution with the wikitools group of modules.
