Announcing the NWN 2 Wiki

[Spider]

I don't know much about netcode but could you use multiple portals within a large portal to create a modular layout system that can work within the wiki framework?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. A portal is a modular layout system.

 

Edit: Or do you mean that the site switches layouts for different sections of the site? That is definitely possible, but usually not wanted since coherency tends to be prefered.

 

(unless the section is more of a subsite, but let's not go there)

Each subsection could be cosistant within itself while each subsection could have an overall theme that could be consisitant, could it not?

It's certainly a valid way to design a website. But doing so within the constraints of a portal is very difficult. To be honest I'm not even sure it's possible with the popular existing portals.

 

It's all about how they're programmed though, so it can theoretically be done. Just like these forums could theoretically have different layouts for each section. Either way, it requires programming knowledge that goes way beyond me.

 

(for those who don't know, a portal is a website software that's used to layout a page and communicate with a database. In many ways they work just like forums do)

Okay, I am beginning to visualize how they take shape. Hmm... Very interesting. I'll keep this in mind when I get all my material gathered up and create my own website.

If you change the theme of the site to the ICE theme is very wiki-fied look with almost no images.

Maybe I'm blind, but I can't see where can I do it.

Main page, bottom left side.

You know, I feel great.  being in a good positive mood has definitely changed me.  I should stay like this forever.

Drugs can do that to you.

A discussion was had to use a wiki module within the site or, as others suggested, have a dedicated subsite such as wiki.nwn2news.net or what not. It was decided against the subsite and it would be easier for all involved to have the wiki as part of the main page.

 

I personally was on the fense and didnt take a stand, those community members brought into the discussion decided such as I left the final decesion in their hands. (these people were all well known from in the nwn1 custom content community.)Not saying it was the right choice or not, but explaining why it was done this way.

Cool beans.

Nice to see that default theme makes wiki page resizable, but the main page still could use some fixes, like flow layout instead of fixed layout. Right now I'm outside my home and I use IE, so I get horizontal scrolling on the main page with any theme.

Thats more of a IE issue then the site. The site expects the browser to be 100% W3 compliant. If it isnt, like IE, then it has a few quirks. If the browser in question is 100% compliant then it displays as intended.
