  <TR>
  <TD>
  <small>Artist name — <i>Work name</i></small><br>
  <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://joy.nujus.net/w/webs/dewplayer-vol.swf" width="350" height="20" id="dewplayer" name="dewplayer">

8/ Useful tips(Edit)

when you edit a wiki page

• use the previsualition feature before saving your page and adjust step by step, previsualisation by previsualisation, info and appearance of the page.

how to create a link to an existing wiki page

• write the name of the targeted wiki page between two square brackets.
• [About] will be displayed : About

• To create other types of links, see : Syntax page

a dead link

• will appear in white.
• for instance the page Blabla doesn't exist
• so [Blabla] will be displayed : Blabla
• by clicking on the dead link, you can create and edit the new page

urls into a page

• absolute url (starting with http:// ) automatically opens a new window into the browser
• relative url ../folder/nameofthefile or folder/nameofthefile opens into the same used window (required for using the picture slimbox feature)

accentuated characters

• don't use accentuated or exotic characters and blank spaces into page names
• into page contents, the wiki recognizes a large number of accentuated characters from various languages

• a feature permits to capitalize text when it's required : write the opening code {cap} at the beginning of the chosen text, and the ending code {/cap}. For instance : {cap}capitalize{/cap} will be displayed : capitalize

how to insert a picture

• you can insert jpeg, jpg, gif, and png files
• Be careful, don't use blank spaces and accentuated characters into file names.

• you can insert images with their absolute url.
• for instance : [http://joy.nujus.net/files/articles/soundartexhibitions/2004compatibleb.jpg]
• will be displayed :

• or with relative url : (when you know it)
• for instance : [../files/articles/soundartexhibitions/2004compatibleb.jpg]
• will be displayed :

• how to insert a picture of a jpg file you've uploaded from the wiki :
• the wiki is storing the img files you upload into a folder : var//upload/img/
• so the path to grab this img file is : /var/upload/img/YEARexhibitionnameofthefile.jpg
• thus the file 2004compatibleb.jpg stored into the upload folder can be displayed with :
• [var/upload/img/2004compatibleb.jpg]
• Example :

the slimbox picture feature

• This wiki is using the slimbox feature, thus the page can display a picture thumb and when the reader clicks on it, a large image is opening
• It's very useful for large pictures (or to offer the view of details of a large image)
• For using this feature for displaying an img file uploaded from the wiki, you must use this code :
• [folder/subfolder/tinypicture.jpg|folder/subfolder/largepicture.jpg]
• By clicking the picture you're opening a layer with the large picture
• For instance :
  
  
  that is coding like this :
  [var/upload/img/2004compatibleb.jpg|var/upload/img/2004compatible.jpg]

how to control the breaklines ?

• a double breakline is recognized (by using the "Enter" key on your keyboard)
• if you want to use a simple breakline, you must use the wiki code {br} without the "Enter" key.
• like this :
• code : the first line{br}the second line, will be displayed :

the first line
the second line

wiki syntax help

• use the Help (syntax) command in editing mode

to upload a file (img, snd, video, pdf, etc.)

• use the Upload command, on right-top command menu or into the menu when you're using the editing mode of a page

how to name a file to upload

• please use the same protocol than for the page name :
• YEARexhibitionfilename
• for instance : 2004compatibleposter.jpg, or 2004compatibleexcerpt.mp3 and 2004compatibleexcerpt2.mp3, etc.

how to delete a page and delete it from the database and the server ?

• simply delete all contents of the page in editing mode
• so the page must be blank (you can leave the page name)
• and save it
• the wiki engine will automatically delete the page

the page history command

• the wiki engine keeps history of each page
• if you save unfortunately a page with wrong info or if you're deleting info you don't want, you can always restore your former saved pages
• click on the "History" link on top-right of each page

languages

• the wiki engine is using a lot of languages
• thus the user can access to the structure of the wiki in his/her own language (to access the commands and the menu(s)), by using the scrolling menu on top-right of each page
• each wiki page can be saved into different languages by adding into the name page a suffix (for instance .fr for French when the page is the translation in French of an existing page, or .de for German, and so on. For the SAET wiki, we're using English pages and excerpt of description into the original language (of a work for instance, or of an event) can be inserted into the wiki page (paragraph : Description (Or. Lang.))

what is the {NO_COMMENTS} command ?

• Each page begins by the {NO_COMMENTS} code (seen when you're in editing mode)
• This command removes the "Comments" feature. Actually, each page has got a comment part where readers can leave comments related to the page. But for security reasons, this feature is removes.

what is the {TOC} command ?

• the {TOC} code creates an automatic and generated menu starting from the paragraph titles (built with wiki codes)
• This command can be placed everywhere into the page.

the footnotes command

• For the use of this command, please refer to the About page, edit it and you'll see how this command is operating
• The footnotes are inserted into the contents and the text with the help of {footnote} and {/footnote}.
• The footnotes are called at the bottom of the page with the {plugin:FOOT_NOTES} code.

other features ?

• Other features are existing into this wiki engine but are disabled : tag cloud, page comments, etc.

RSS feed

• Url : http://jeromejoy.org/SAET/var/rss.xml
• contains the 20 last updates
• each update is corresponding to any saved modifications (even into the same page)
• so the use of the previsualisation feature is necessary before saving a page
