Hi

I have tried the Wiki module, which i like.
However it does not seem possible to set the paramaters or an image (such as align, and alt text).
Can anyone suggest a good alternative Wiki module?

Thanks

Darren

Instead of making a Drupal site behave like a wiki, why not use a wiki CMS? You could always install it under your drupal site so it could be accessed by http://yourdomain.com/wiki

OpenSourceCMS (http://www.opensourcecms.com) is a good place to start and try out different wiki solutions

I think the person is worried about the integration problems.
Eg: If you install a wiki CMS and Drupal separately, problems occur when people need to register twice, the taxonomy not working in Wiki and so on.

So a separate install of wiki CMS is still far from perfection.

Thanks for your comments guys.
I don't want a Wiki, I want Drupal using Wiki markup techniques to simplify editing for people.
I have development skills so I may expand the existing Wiki module to accept parameter for images.

I'm currently the maintainer of the wiki module. I have almost no free time to work on it. But add a feature ticket to the project and let me know how you think it should work. If you want to write a patch or just a code snippit add it to the ticket and I'll take a look. Thanks.

Hi Veridicus

what about incorporating WIKIWYG into Drupal? This is a great wiki wysiwyg editor, the folks at socialtext are now leading the effort. Its apparently designed to be easy to integrate and hook into apps, eg provides hooks to the existing edit buttons

and a wikiwygified wikipedia demo

To be honest it works so effectively I'd like to use this throughout Drupal not just for the wiki part, please do test it its fast and elegant. can siwtch instantly between Wysiwyg, wikitext, html and the preview. Uses javascript website is here http://www.wikiwyg.net/

Just wnated to pass on some ideas

Indeed have you ever thought of other alternatives?
I think visual (what you see is what you get) editors are far better than wiki syntax.
Even the newbies will find little problems to use them.
It's just like you are using lite Microsoft Word to edit the web page.

Thanks Wai_Wai, I hadn't even thought of using a visual editor. I think that will be a better option.

I have installed htmlarea and it is working very well. There is a little performance delay when editing pages, but there is a lot of JavaScript code going on, so I am happy with that.
