New wiki painful to use
by Jon Murphy 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

In my opinion: I feel you’re going to see a drop-off of user written wiki pages. The new wiki is very painful to use! (I do understand there are not many users writing wiki pages.) Most of this is related to the lack of a user interface with built-in shortcuts for bold, italics, links, code blocks, etc. The wiki really needs a proper user interface like what was available with the old wiki or what is available with the forum. Is there not another wiki to fit the need? Like a competitor to Dokuwiki? I’d hate to think the IPFire firewall devs would need to be spending their time creating a new wiki. Did the https://github.com/benweet/stackedit.js <https://github.com/benweet/stackedit.js> not work? Nothing written above is meant to hurt anyone’s feelings or make anyone mad. I’m just personally frustrated working in the new wiki environment knowing I’ve only touched 80 pages and we have 300+ pages to go! Ugh! Jon

Delete Testday web pages?
by Jon Murphy 30 Aug '19

Michael - there are a few pages related to ‘testday'. I am guessing they are from Y2014. https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/firewall/testday Can they be deleted?

Redirect to bugzilla page for invalid bug number on new wiki
by Jon Murphy 20 Aug '19

20 Aug '19

There seems to be a quick link to bugzilla. When I click on a wiki “#1", I end up on a bugzilla page for an invalid bug number. Here is where I see the redirect: https://wiki.ipfire.org/addons/tor/why-use-tor Just click on the #1 or the #2. Is this a markdown enhancement? Or? This doesn’t seem like a bug, but I can add it to bugzilla if needed. I can change the tor webpage from: ## #1 - Tor does not encrypt your content -to- ## 1) Tor does not encrypt your content

New wiki - images and syntax highlighting
by ummeegge 17 Aug '19

Hi all, tried to fix a couple of wikis now and have some questions. 1) In the old wiki was a picture manager which i currently miss in the new one. How could be overseen which pictures are available to delete unused ones or upload new ones or relink existing ones ? 2) The syntax highlighting seems to be a little buggy. a) For example a ```bash ... ... ``` marks sometimes bash commands (in that specific case 'cd') in red, the same command in another bash code tag in regular white, it seems a little inconsitent. b) Also in the same bash code highlighting sometimes line numbers appears and the whole code block get out of the format. c) Also in the same bash code highlighting some numbers e.g. '192.168' disappears cause it uses the page background color. May this happens also with perl or another language which i haven´t checked until now. Some things from here. Best, Erik

Re: Re: Cannot locate Status > System wiki page

All of the Status menu pages (at https://wiki.ipfire.org/configuration/status) were at their Title without a path. So on the wiki I changed (system) to (/configuration/status/system). I do not understand the error I received - "Too Many Requests”.

Badly worded on my part. The IPfire box webpage is Status > System at https://ipfire:444/cgi-bin/system.cgi. I cannot locate the wiki page on https://wiki.ipfire.org Hope that explains things better!

Cannot locate Status > System wiki page
by Jon Murphy 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

I think we are missing a page. I cannot locate the Status > System wiki page at https://ipfire:444/cgi-bin/system.cgi It would include: - System Information - CPU Graph - Load Graph If I search for "system" I get a page with the title "Too Many Requests"

Color for text
by Jon Murphy 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

I keep coming across lots of text that is colored. Green for the green network, red for the red network, etc. The only way I know how to handle is via HTML like this: Some Markdown text with <span style="color:blue">some *blue* text</span> How do you want to handle?
