Been working on building a wiki over a number of months, but realize it is a ton of work. My goals are:

  • No Database, just files and folders for Dokuwiki
  • Get the experience to feel accessible and fun for users.
  • Make the wiki into something users can save locally and access offline.

The wiki coincides with various DIY and open source projects I’m experimenting with. Thought I’d share here, since this is about the extensions I’m actually using within Dokuwiki. Would love to add more, but just need them to work in daily use first.

Plugins in use:

  • SMTP, so users receive their login credentials.
  • Templator, for treating pages as templates for re-use.
  • Include plugin, for using pages within pages to organize content.
  • Open Document plugin - For export as odt
  • Pagelist, which I’m still learning for organizing tables.
  • Move plugin - for moving location of pages without breaking links.
  • Wrap plugin, for centering images and code blocks.
  • Tag, for adding tag browsing between page.
  • Footer, for clarifying info displayed at bottom of pages.
  • Catmenu, adds a clean, simple tree menu for the page being viewed.

    Curious if others have setup something like this before. I find the Access Control excellent, but making a wiki is flows nicely is a challenge.

    I use(d) TiddlyWiki for years as it’s basically just standalone webpages, so you only need a browser, no backend of any kind… But, it has become more difficult over the years as security has stepped up and (rightly) stopped allowing files to be saved at any location.

    My work then started moving away from subject tasks to daily tasks, so I needed a journal more than a wiki.

    I still use it, but, does dokuwiki work in a similar way? Maybe I could convert my old wiki?

      Dokuwiki runs through php as folders:files mapped as namespaces:pages in the browser

        Ah, ok, so you need a web server to serve up the files?

        Tiddlywiki is only files, so seems a little simpler as it’s accessible wherever you have the files (ie offline working whilst travelling)

          Yeah, I’ve used TiddlyWifi over the years as html. I’ve been enjoying doku for having tons and tons of text files + many users and comprehensive access control of who gets what.
