Add a new page

WHEN YOU ADD IMAGES, PLEASE UPLOAD THEM, DO NOT LINK TO THEM OTHERWISE IF THE LINK FAILS WE HAVE A WIKI FULL OF BROKEN PICTURES

Note: when uploading image files, file names must not have spaces (or you cannot see them to add them in the add image wizard, and if you add them using manual code, they will not display)

So when creating new pages/content:

  • Create the content and save the page
  • upload the files you will need (the smaller ones or any .pdf article)
  • edit and use the wizards to add any images etc.. you have uploaded and save the page again
  • add tag codes, so people can find your page

best way is simply look at a few pages that have been done. Learning the code takes a little while, but the buttons at the top of the edit window help a lot. Eventually though when you want bold you will just ** either side of a word or phrase like this, or for italics // like this.

Comments at the bottom are set to hidden, I changed this recently, because if you get a LOT of comments, it drives down page tags links at the bottom of the page and makes everything look really untidy. This way users can choose whether to show comments (to check if there are any) or use the button on the sidebar to open the Comments and discussion attached to any Coffeetime article (this is actually a per page forum!). members can post, but non members can only read. This gives article owners and Wiki members a specific area/forum to discuss ALL the articles!

Think hard though about whether the article really needs comments or not (as it makes a new discussion thread in the Wiki forum), if not delete the comment block.
