DokuWiki / WordPress 3.x Integration Fix

As many people noticed, wordpress 3.0 broke the DokuWiki/Wordpress integration I had up. I didn’t find an elegant solution, but I got a hack working and posted it here.

Updated DokuWiki + WordPress Integration

I finally got around to updating the dokuwiki/wordpress integration plugin to work with the newer versions of WP and DW. It ended up being only one additional step which was tracked down by the commenters, so a big thanks to them for keeping this up to date.

My test installs I just used are WordPress 2.9.1 and Dokuwiki 2009-12-25, which are the two latest stable releases as of this moment.

Good luck everyone and if you have any problems, please post in the comments.

DokuWiki and WordPress Integration

I spent the last couple days learning about DokuWiki and integrating it with my wordpress/bbpress installs on muagames.com. I’m finally finished, and the results are quite nice. All three pieces (site/blog, forum, wiki) share one account system – you can log in on one and it automatically logs you into the others, and the wiki takes its user groups and permissions from your wordpress settings. On the flip side, it introduces all the wordpress overhead to the wiki, but it’s worth it in my opinion.

I got it all set up this morning and already somebody wanted help doing the same. I wrote up the custom dokuwiki authentication module and a nice set of instructions, and now he is up and rolling too. I decided it would be helpful for others if I posted it all online, and so I did.

DokuWiki + WordPress Integration

It works on the latest version of DokuWiki and at least as far back as WordPress 2.5.1. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

If you set it up on your site, let me know! Maybe we can make a list of sites using it.

WordPress 2.5 is Awesome

That is Awesome with a capital A, ladies and gentlemen. I love everything I’ve read about in the change logs http://wordpress.org/development/2008/03/wordpress-25-brecker/, and I’m finding new things as I write this post (realtime permalink editor, woohoo!).

I am so very impressed. If you’re a wordpress user, get the new version ASAP. I can’t enumerate the features better than the link above, but some of my faves so far are the shortlinks api (!), the new dashboard, new editor, tag system, multiple uploads, permalink editor, post-edit-locking, and the gallery code.

Wow!

To everyone at wordpress: Thanks!

WordPress and Youtube

Hey,

A little while ago I was struggling to get embedded youtube videos working through the blog in internet explorer. I didn’t realize it, since I use firefox and opera, but in IE, the pasted code from youtube full on breaks the page. It loads it, gets to the vids, freaks out, and goes blank.

Turns out that just wrapping the embed code in ‘code’ tags via the wordpress editor will fix the problem. A very simple, obvious solution, but I didn’t even think about it being that kind of problem, since it worked in the other browsers and only IE threw a fit about it.

Anyway, thought it might be useful to someone else out there.
