Double Redirects

A redirect occurs anytime a page is moved. Redirects allow users to find the desired page when clicking on a link to the page that has been moved. If a page has been moved many times it can end up with many redirects. You may remove unnecessary redirects by accessing Tools > Control panel > Double redirects

Pages that are moved will never corrupt links

Group management

Once you have added integration with a seperate authentication provider you will be able to manage groups in this section.

Restore Deleted Pages

Only administrators can restore a deleted page. Browse to the location of the deleted page by clicking What's New or typing the address of the page directly into your browser. You will be presented with an option to View or restore N deleted edits, where is N is the number of versions of this page. Click this. You may view any of the versions. To restore check the box adjacent to the version you wish to restore and click the Restore button.

Deleted files can be restored from the Control panel

Alternatively, you can permanently delete files from the system by selecting the desired files and clicking Delete permanently. If you like, you can select all the files on a given view by selecting the topmost check box, this will toggle the checks on and off for all the files shown.

Service Management

Overview

Extensions provide additional information to your MindTouch site.  MindTouch ships with a dozen extensions for embedding maps from Google, viewing RSS feeds, or authenticating users with LDAP/Active Directory.

Extensions come in three flavors: templates, scripts, and services.  Templates are reusable wiki pages that are easy to edit and customize.  Scripts are XML files that can easily be shared online.  And services are libraries that need to be installed or hosted on a web-server.

Installing Extensions and Scripts

Check the following User Manual pages to learn about installing an extension or script:

• Adding a script in the Control Panel
• Adding an extension in the Control Panel
• Accessing extensions through the Extension Dialog

Contributing a Script

Script extensions are very easy to share.  Please consider making them available for others to use and build upon.  It only takes 3 easy steps!

1. Host your script at a public URI (e.g. http://scripts.mindtouch.com/spoiler.xml) or attach them to your user page on this wiki.
2. Create a new page here with the name of your script (e.g. Spoiler Text).
3. Create a DekiScript block using the styles menu from the editor toolbar and fill in the parameters for the "ScriptDoc" template.
   

   ScriptDoc{
       author: "Your Name", // or vendor: "Your Company Name"
       uri: "http://scripts.mindtouch.com/spoiler.xml", // full URI to where the script it located
       status: "Stable" // (optional, default: "Work-in-progress")
   }

4. Save the page and celebrate the news of your script on the forums!

Unused Redirects

An unused redirect is one that is not needed because no page is linking to the old page title. You can remove these by accessing Tools > Control panel > Unused redirects. From here you may elect to remove any unused redirects.

Pages that are moved will never corrupt links

User management

This is the interface for managing users for Deki Wiki that were either added locally or are connected to a seperate authentication Server.   

 To add a user locally to the wiki make sure that local is selected and then add a username, email, the user's password, and then assign a role to them:

• Viewer - Can only view content but cannot edit content
• Contributor - Can view and edit content
• Admin - Can view and edit content and access the control panel to make system wide changes(only give this access to people you trust with admin access to the site)

Visual appearance

This section allows you to customize the look and feel of your site.  You can add a custom logo, change the CSS styles, and change the color of the site.
