Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted September 27, 201212 yr Ive seen custom mods on other sites, but would love to see a native version on IPB. A wikipost is usually the first or second post in a thread, which like Wikipedia, can be editited by multiple users.
September 27, 201212 yr Change the permissions to allow groups to edit other's posts. Then get the post history mod in the marketplace. EDIT: Sorry didn't read the 'first or second post'. Yeah a custom mod would need to be made to allow only the second post to be edited. I doubt this is something IPS would make native, best request a custom mod for it.
September 28, 201212 yr Author Its more complicated than just that. You need a system (like Wikipedia) for saving post editing history and restoring previous revisions.
September 28, 201212 yr Its more complicated than just that. You need a system (like Wikipedia) for saving post editing history and restoring previous revisions. That's possible with this marketplace mod: http://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/4876-pav32-post-history/ Although it's not Wikipedia, it does save post editing history and allows previous revisions to be restored. As for allowing editing on only the first and/or second post by selected usergroups, that would probably need to be a custom mod request.
September 29, 201212 yr The whole wiki thing is only useful if there's a large body of people to make it used and correct. Niche.

September 30, 201212 yr This idea would be awesome tbh. Something like stackoverflow's pseudo-wiki editing of posts.
September 30, 201212 yr This is a very neat idea for a collaberative writing/roleplay site - and for many other types of forums. I support it.
October 4, 201212 yr Vaultwiki is a very popular addon that provides wiki functionality. Currently its only available for vbulletin, but they are working on a version for IPS. Stackexchange uses wikipost functionality. I see wiki functions are being requested repeatedly. Its certainly not niche functionality.
June 29, 201311 yr Author I see IpbWiki exists and it's open source. It just needs to be properly integrated into the first post of a forum thread. Maybe this could be a stock feature in the future? http://www.ipbwiki.com/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/ipbwiki/
June 30, 201311 yr I tried IPBWiki once. It was really buggy and outdated from what I remember, and I just didn't feel safe using it. I just use a stock MediaWiki installation and have no issues. It will require members apply for a separate account on the Wiki though.
December 7, 201410 yr For any users still following this thread, I wanted to mention that VaultWiki is finally moving forward with their IPB integration. Please see this thread here: http://community.invisionpower.com/topic/404817-wiki-for-ips-what-would-you-look-for/We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas for the best integration. Please check out the thread to get involved!
December 8, 201410 yr I was just about to mention VaultWikiYou can also, however, use a default IP.Content installation with databases to accomplish what you want. I think databases in IP.Content is one of the most underrated features in the entire suite.

Maybe this could be a stock feature in the future?Actually, it is a stock feature already. You just need to get IP.Content. The databases there have Wiki editing and if you let every database entry create a forum post, you get exactly what you need.
