SeaDooSportBoats.com Wiki

Posted by Kevin Leclair, 05 September 2008 · 8,883 views

As of March 30th, 2012 we have retired the Wiki.

Based on feeback from one of our members, Jesse Campbell, we have decided to implement a Wiki. We are using a Wiki that merges the features of IP.Board (our forum software) and MediaWiki (same Wiki software used by WikiPedia) called IpbWiki. The new Wiki is located here, http://seadoosportboats.com/wiki.

Some of the features of the Wiki include:

Seamless integration of the login system of MediaWiki and Invision Power Board. Your website visitors get the convenience of a single sign-on into the forum and the wiki, leading to an increased community participation. IpbWiki provides 2 authentication methods:
- Transparent User Authentication: if the user visited the forum and there exists a forum session, then user is automatically logged in into the wiki.
- Non-transparent User Authentication: Clicking the Login button in the wiki authenticates against the forum database and logs the user in both the wiki and (optionally) the forum.
Integrated Skins: Out of the box skin integration.
Configure Wiki-Rights: grant wiki-rights (read, edit, minoredit, createpage, createtalk, move, delete, undelete, protect, block, createaccount, upload, reupload, reupload-shared, rollback, patrol, editinterface, siteadmin, bot, asksql, checkuser) based on the member's Forum User Group and member's number of posts.
Supports BBCode & Emotions: IpbWiki Parses BBCode so your forum members continue to use the familiar forum BBCode, leading to an increased community participation. Emoticons are also supported.
Automatically link keywords in your forum post to wiki-topics by using the Automatic wikification extension, or link to topics manually by using the wiki bbcode.
Discussion Threads: possibility to configure IpbWiki to redirect the wiki discussion tabpage to a forum discussion thread, again leading to an increased community participation.
Rating System: Allows your visitors to provide feedback how much they like your articles.
Limited CMS capabilities: Add topiclists and forum posts inside your wiki pages.
Online Users Integration: Show in 1 list who's active on your forum and wiki.
Poweful & Convenient Control Panel: All options can be simply selected turned on/off in your Admin CP Panel.
Link multiple wikis to 1 forum.
Since IpbWiki is based on MediaWiki you can automatically enjoy all features of MediaWiki when you use IpbWiki.

Please take advantage of the new Wiki and contribute so we can compile a hand full of useful information and resources. This can be a great place to organize how-tos and other related items so it is easy to locate. Go here, http://www.mediawiki...ting_a_new_page, for instructions on starting a new page in the Wiki.

Please provide any feedback or bugs for the new Wiki here, http://seadoosportbo...back-t1857.html. :thumbup1:
