Description

A Blicki is a blog and a wiki. The purpose is to create a platform on which anyone can share knowledge. The blicki makes it easy to contribute with a front-end blog editor, while showing how information is added to and evolved.

Features

Front-end blog-style editor. No markdown required.
Anyone can edit. Visitors do not need to create an account to contribute.
An admin role has the ability to moderate new pages and edits.
Revision history and stats show at the footer of each blicki entry.
Links that connect to other entries on your Blicki.
Each entry has a table of contents. Hello easy navigation.
Images can be added via hyperlinks. Don’t worry about your Blicki getting weighed down with too much or oversized media.
The Blicki can be added to previously built sites via a custom post type. You can have a website, a blog, and a blicki all in one!

Installation

Upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/blicki directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress
Use the Settings->Plugin Name screen to configure the plugin (?? not sure we’ll have this)
Your wiki content can be found by clicking ‘Wiki’ on your dashboard’s sidebar.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if someone shares false knowledge or something that shouldn't be on the Blicki?

New entries will be submitted for moderation by an appointed admin. Edits to entries will send a notification to the admin to review.

Do I have to use the wiki markdown language to contribute?

Nah - we're adding a front-end blog editor, so you can leave the brackets behind.

Does the Blicki have a theme song?

Of course! That blicki. That blicki wiki.

Why is there a C in Blicki?

The 'C' stands for carrot. Also, bliki.com was registered in 1999 and is unavailable.

Can I set a blicki page as the front page of my site?

That setting isn't an option right now, and it's for a good reason. The front page of a wiki-style site is a great place to explain the purpose of the site and introduce navigation links around the blicki.

Here's information on creating a static front page:

blicki's Issues

Add column data to wiki entry list

New Entry Form

Create a new entry option that's more automated than a shortcode and doesn't require looking up the instructions in the Readme for use.

Revision History Tab

Create new entry

Add Blicki Topics to WP-Admin menu editor

Currently Blicki Topics show in the Customizer > Menu page:

However, they do not show in WP-Admin

It would be great to have a consistent experience across menu editor.

Related #30

Add support for images

Design the frontend views

Stats box etc for insertion into the WIKI entries.

Revision History should show proposer, not/also approver

Or maybe it should show both? "Revision on X date, suggested by blah, approved by foo"?

Suggest changes/diff creation

Edit before approval

Setting to turn off moderation

For organizations that don't want to moderate every new entry / edit, add the ability to turn off moderation.

RSS feeds showing edits etc

Link backs/track backs

Future version; need a way to generate trackbacks for the dynamic added links.

Frontend editor

WYSIWYG editor
Email address
Log IP
Date for revision
Post -> create revision for moderation

Allow guest users to suggest a new entry on the front-end

Ideally a guest user could suggest a new entry on the front-end. This should then go to an admin for approval just like edit suggestions. Might need some new/different data structures?

Front-end editor has display issues on mobile

Keep filled in data if change suggestion fails validation

Right now if you suggest a change but forget to fill in name and/or e-mail, we discard all the data you filled in. We should remember it and re-fill it in on the redirected form.

Internal link detection

Parse:

On post and edit
On new entry
Shortcode for internal links?
On render?

Use Akismet on suggestions

We talked to Chris Finke about this. The salient points are:

Mozilla is doing this on their MDN wiki
pass wiki-revision as the type
only pass the added lines from the edit
reasonable to use this only to display some info on the approval screen, maybe discard very bad edits indicated by Akismet
check the Jetpack contact form code for how to utilize the Akismet plugin to do most of the work for you (including API key)

Create WIKI CPT

Revision support
Archive support
No comments

Guest user's name is not displayed

When a user without an account suggests a change, the name that they enter when submitting doesn't display in wp-admin or on the front-end.

Topics Taxonomy

Blicki entries option in menu settings

Blicki topics can be added to a menu, but entries themselves have to be added with a custom link. Let's add entries themselves to the custom menu options.

Editor permissions at subpage level

Hi, I was in Dr. Conner's class at the end of last semester when Gracie showed us Blicki. I had suggested that editors and contributors have permission at the subpage level since Dr. Conner was thinking about using blicki for a classroom setting. In this way, teachers or editors of certain sections would have control only of those sections. For example on a classroom blicki page like home/semester/classes/ENC3150, a student contributor could only log in past the .../ENC3150 page. The same would be so for an editor, perhaps of a section in an online newspaper like home/USFSPstudentnews/section/artsandentertainment/articles, an editor would only have control of pages past .../artsandentertainment.

I mentioned this idea to Gracie at the time and she told me to post it here, I just hadn't got around to it, but I didn't forget!

Thanks.
