HomePageECE/CIS Wiki ServerThe ECE/CIS department is using PmWiki to provide wiki sites for faculty, staff, and students. If you'd like your own wiki, post a request on the Help Request System (see the following FAQ for required information). The following wikis are available:Installed Cookbook Recipes
Frequently Asked QuestionsThese are answers to questions asked regarding our wiki implementation. If your question isn't answered here, post a Help Request. How do I password protect individual pages on my wiki?To set a password on a page inside your wiki, add ?action=attr to the end of the url in your browser's address bar. Using the form on the attributes page, you can set or clear the read, edit, or attr passwords on the page. In the form you enter the passwords as cleartext; PmWiki encrypts them for you automatically when it stores them.
Leaving a field blank will leave the attribute unchanged. To remove a password from a page (reverting back to the group's or site's default), enter clear. To indicate that the page can be edited even if a group or site password is set, enter @nopass. To lock a page for everybody but the admin, enter @lock. To assign the site's site-wide edit-password to the read, edit, or attr password for the page, enter @_site_edit.
How do I password protect a group of pages?First, you can get to the attributes page for GroupAttributes by entering a URL (address) like http://www.example.com/pmwiki.php?n=GroupName.GroupAttributes?action=attr. Then, using the form on the attributes page, you can set or clear the read, edit, or attr passwords for the entire group. In the form you enter the passwords as cleartext; PmWiki encrypts them for you automatically.
To remove a password from a group (reverting back to the site's default), enter clear. To indicate that the group can be edited even if a site password is set, enter @nopass. To lock a group for everybody but the admin, enter @lock.
Where can I find more information about PmWiki authentication?Your best bet is to look here: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Passwords
How do I set the ACLs on a folder to only allow the web server to see certain files?The correct command line expression is: setfacl -s u::rwx,u:httpuser:rwx,g::r-x,o:---,m:rwx foldername
How do I create links to content on the same page?Create an anchor at the place to which you want to link like: [[#anchorname]]. Link to it using [[WikiPageName#anchorname | Skip to anchorname]].
