similar to: rails based wiki: is instiki still being developed?

Hi, I am writing some help about post formatting. I am using redcloth to format the text, and in a FAQ, also formatted with redcloth, I explain what to type to what to obtain. So, how could I escape ''*'', ''#'' & Co, to have an output like <redcloth> Type *word* to obtain <strong>word</strong> </redcloth> I tried "Type

= About Ackbar Ackbar is an adapter for ActiveRecord (the Rails ORM layer) to the KirbyBase pure-ruby plain-text DBMS. Because KirbyBase does not support SQL, joins or transactions, this is not a 100% fit. There are some changes to the ActiveRecord interface (see below), but it may still be useful in some cases. = URIs Ackbar: http://ackbar.rubyforge.org KirbyBase:

Hello. I reeeeally want to get Instiki running at my day job, but they are Microsoft-heads. While I can probably sell them on trying Rails, they are definitely going to want the database to sit in our SQL Server instance with our other databases. I can''t get instiki to create the tables in sql server though (I''ve added ADO.rb, and gotten a connection). When I run the

I''ve found vague mentions of various attempts at creating an ActiveRecord adapter for the KirbyBase pure Ruby DBMS, but nothing which looks like it''s actually working. Anyone know of such an adapter that is functional and available? b

I would like to have a wiki that uses Markdown as the markup language (or something very close), I've currently used PmWiki and I really like it but there are some problems with using Markdown so I'm interested to see if there is an alternative that works better for me. I've looked at wiki matrix and searched for and found the following list bitweaver, DekiWiki, DokuWiki, Friki,

Hello all, I''m looking for suggestions for integrated Blog + Wiki (Bliki) apps. I''d prefer Rails, I want to hear opinions on all options! I''ve browsed through W:Bliki <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliki>. Nothing in that list is immediately compelling. This is for my wife, who is not a technologist, and has a need to create a information-centric website.

I am looking for a good CMS based on Rails that has at least these attributes: 1. Ease of use ( as it will be used by people who are not html literate) 2. Very easy/flexible to change layout. So far I have looked at http://rcms.oopen.de/Home/ (have not installed it yet) http://adminpages.flowdev.de http://demo.radiantcms.org/admin/pages http://www.eribium.org/eribium/ MuraveyWeb does not seem

I''ve been reading up on Berkeley DB and I''ve been refelcting on the Rails philosophy and it just seemed to me like the two should go together hand in glove. Rails seeks to abstract the programer from squirrely database coding which is great. My only problem is that you''re still left with a large component, namely the databsase server (MySQL, PostgreSQL..etc) which

Hi all, Following the recent release of Instiki-AR beta, I haven''t had a lot of bug reports or other feedback. This could mean one of the two things. Either nobody is using it, or some people are, and have no problems at all. One thing for sure is that it''s certainly getting downloaded (20 times a day, as it were)! I''d like to know which way is it. So, if you are

I am trying to do a tutorial improvement on the wiki but I am having some problems with the auto formatting. Using httdp.conf produces http://httpd.conf when filtered. Using *.so produces .so and bold text there after. Is there any shorthand for the user for making text appear as it should without the linking and re-writes? Or does the admin have to change the filters in Instiki? Tesla

Hi, Has anyone managed to get lighttpd to proxy requests through to an instiki running on another port? >From my lighttpd configuration: $HTTP["host"] == "wiki.railsapphosting.com" { proxy.balance = "hash" proxy.server = ( "" => ( ("host" => "206.222.22.155", "port" => 50074) )) } Instiki is bound to

Hi all, Sorry if I should be posting this elsewhere--I couldn''t find an Instiki specific mailing list, but the Instiki site is down. I wanted to mention that my friend Tim Lauer and I are going to be doing a short "high order bit" talk at the O''Reilly Emerging Technologies conference, describing a particular use of Instiki which we came up with:

Just wondering if anyone can tell me the differences between i2 and instiki-ar? Is one preferred over the other? Also, instiki-ar has support for file uploads but it doesn''t look like i2 does. Is there any plan to add that support? Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks. Steven Smith

Dear all, If you thought Instiki was a dead project, you were right. Since I''ve got a day job that doesn''t suck (Official Ruby Zealot of ThoughtWorks Canada), my motivation to do open source greatly sufferred :) But... but... but! Here is Instiki 0.11.0, and in this version Instiki is (finally!) moving to ActiveRecord backend and (finally!) has the File Upload feature.

Hi All, = What''s New This is a bug fix release. Jamey Cribbs (author of KirbyBase) has run through Active Web Development with Rails, building the Depot sample app on top of Akbar/KirbyBase. A few issues uncovered there were fixed / enhanced in this release. See the CHANGELOG for full details. You can read all about his exercise, starting at

Basically, we needed to authenticate against the cookie written by Ruby. It turns out that you can write a cookie for the entire TLD of *.example.com from Instiki (Rails). So, I changed the cookie writing code in the wiki_controller to the following. # app/controllers/wiki_controller.rb cookies[''ldap_username_2006''] = {:value =>emailaddress, :expires

Instiki 0.9.2 has arrived. * The notorious "rollbacks by crawlers" bug fixed. * Instiki is distributed as a gem (experimental) * New maintainer (yours truly) * Assorted other minor changes Best regards, Alexey Verkhovsky ============= Don''t shoot the pianist, he''s doing his best README Path: README Last Update: Fri Jan 07 10:06:43

Hi All, Just a quick note on a new release of Pimki: The Wiki-based PIM to GetThingsDone! Pimki 1.8.200 is a bug fix release: accumulated bug fixes plus an explicit dependency on Madeleine 0.7.1 (the new 0.7.2 is incompatible). Important note: this release is still based on the Pimki 1.x branch. Snapshots from previous versions of Pimki and Instiki up to 0.9.2 should work fine. Work on Pimki2

Has anyone come across any interesting ways to make rails apps easily distributable to run on a local machine. I''d love to be able to "bundle" my rails app into a single file that would contain a simple webserver, database and my rails app which a non-experienced user could then download install on their machine, go to a web browser and run the app locally. I envision it
