Cheapy Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrem Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheapy Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 Its more complicated than just that. You need a system (like Wikipedia) for saving post editing history and restoring previous revisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connorhawke Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jυra Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 The whole wiki thing is only useful if there's a large body of people to make it used and correct. Niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheapy Posted September 29, 2012 Author Share Posted September 29, 2012 The whole wiki thing is only useful if there's a large body of people to make it used and correct. Niche. You could say the same thing about IPS or really anything. Thanks for your very helpful comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZackL Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 This idea would be awesome tbh. Something like stackoverflow's pseudo-wiki editing of posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 This is a very neat idea for a collaberative writing/roleplay site - and for many other types of forums. I support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfa1 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheapy Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 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/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaultwiki Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel R Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The databases there have Wiki editing and if you let every database entry create a forum post, you get exactly what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
