Wiki Server Custom templates

Hi All
We are currently looking to move more of our internal processes across the the Wiki. I was wondering is there a way to create custom wiki page templates? I don't mean to customise the apple supplied ones (they are fine) but to create templates for Meeting minutes, Customer call logs (In a a customer blog) that all have the same format? Or ultimately an entire project pre-build that we could deploy when a new project kicked off.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

For Snow Leopard 10.6 the Extending Your Wiki Server content was merged into the Wiki Server Admin manual (http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/WikiServer_Adminv10.6.pdf)
To create custom templates, you need to create custom XSL (which could break the wiki if the Apple defaults get updated), and Javascript (though I don't see why we should create custom nodes directly in the DOM just to make a series of pages.
CSS only affects the styling of the blocks.

  • Wiki Server 2 Template choices.

    I may have over looked this simple option in the documentation but...
    I want to remove all templates except for the custom template we have created as a choice on the wiki settings.
    Does anyone know which .plist I need to edit to hide the other templates from being selected or do I need to adjust the property for teach template individually from being public to private?

    We have the same need: Opening a Link in an wiki article in a blank window - how to?

  • Lion Wiki Server - Custom sidebar will not save

    I have migrated a 10.6 Server installation with a fairly large wiki over to 10.7 Server.  The upgrade seemed to go smoothly, however I have found that I cannot add a new custom sidebar.  It allows me to click the button to create a new one, enter the Label and the Tag, but when I click "Save", it drops me back to the General section of the wiki and the custom sidebar was not saved.
    I've seen other mentions of this issue, but the solutions did not solve the issue.  I have 4 total wikis and it affects all of them.  I also created a new wiki and the issue persists.  Erasing and starting over is not an option for me at this point.
    My Lion Server is bound to an OD Master and all the permissions seem to be fine.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    Ok, I made it happen!  Here is what I did:
    DELETED com.apple.net.racoon entry from Keychain
    DELETED /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.RemoteAccessServers.plist
    DELETED /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.ppp.l2tp.plist
    In Server.app, turned off VPN Service with the big ON/OFF button
    Rebooted computer
    In Server.app, inputed the settings and switched to ON
    The settings stayed on, the shared secret did not disappear and I was able to connect to the VPN from outside my network.
    Sweet!

  • Wiki server templates

    does anyone know a company that sells wiki server compatible templates ? I dont mind paying a small fee but I would really like a few more templates without digging into CSS - really not my cup of tea

  • Custom sidebars in Wiki server

    Apple's Wiki Server and Podcast Producer are one of the best if not the best product for serving podcasts BUT this application fails in certain areas that easily puts customers off considering that companies will always vie for a Pc solution.
    My major issue with the Wiki server is the custom sidebar addition. Now this should so simple to add but if you try and add a custom sidebar following apples help directives below
    Adding a sidebar to the home page
    The home page of your wiki automatically displays items that are tagged "hot" in a sidebar, so that users will be more apt to notice them. If you're the site owner, you can add another sidebar that spotlights items tagged with another tag of your choosing.
    *To add a custom sidebar:*
    *Open your site's homepage and then click the Edit (pencil) button.*
    *Click the Groups Settings button.*
    *Click Sidebar and enter the tag that will be used to identify items to appear in the sidebar, such as "projectX."*
    *Enter a title for sidebar, such as "Project X News," then click OK.*
    *Click "save" in the toolbar to save your changes.*
    *The five most recent Items tagged with the tag you specified will automatically appear in the sidebar.*
    First the edit pencil in the home page does not provide one the capability to edit the custom sidebar settings but the actual appearance of the page such as the text and placement of media etc.
    The custom sidebar settings can only be accessed via the Admin Functions/ settings/ even then you can add a single custom side bar and when you try to add another you will find that the details of the last custom sidebar is still in place. If you delete that information and add new information this will delete the previous custom sidebar creating a new one. Now this is such an annoying issue that Apple needs to resolve ASAP as some of us are trying to sell this product for it's other benefits.
    Another area that it fails at is the display of items. Currently the maximum number of items displayable is 5. To increase this requires messing about with theme files and plist files! Now this should also be a simple feature that should exist in the Admin Functions settings area. Unless I am missing something then someone should enlighten me as to the mystery of these settings. I hope Snow leopard will have all these basic issues ironed out.

    by "custom fields" i mean some additional fields. e.g i want a clerk to mail a minute sheet along with remarks of clerk, to an officer. now i have put some fields e.g clerk's name, type of mail (minute sheet etc), officer's name etc on the email form (i have designed that form in java and using javamail api to send/receive mails). while sending this email, clerk fills those fields and mail it to the officer. now depending upon the type of mail (if its a minute sheet or whatever), that mail should be opened in the appropriate form designed for that type of mail, showing all those additional fields, e.g clerk's name in clerk's name label, officer's name in officer's name label etc. is it possible that i can tel exchange server to store the information about those custom fields while storing the mail so that i can retrieve those fields later. hope u got my point.thanks

  • Can I use Wiki Server with a custom build of Apache?

    Hi there. For various reasons, I may need to roll my own build of Apache, PHP, and some other web technologies. What I'm hoping to do is use Wiki Server for the collaborative part of our site, but I don't know if it can be set up to run with an Apache build other than the one that comes with Leopard.
    Can this be done? If so, how?

    That could work, I suppose. I take it it's not possible to configure the Wiki Server to work with a different build of Apache?
    I'd just as soon not run two Apache instances on our new system; that's what we're doing now, on our Tiger server, and it's a bit inconvenient to have two sets of web configuration settings to worry about.
    If possible, I'd like to use the Wiki server with a custom Apache build. (I need to rebuild PHP, you see...)

  • Guide to Wiki Server 3?

    I've tried to find information on what Wiki Server 3 (WS3) can actually do. It would be the only reason for me to upgrade to Lion Server. I'm trying to make the decision of going with MediaWiki, or WS3, and while I'm quite sure that WS3 will be easier to install and setup, I can't seem to find any information on how it is to use or manage, so I can make sure it fits my needs?
    Can anyone provide me with links?
    I will only use it for private information at first, limited to two users, and then later open it up for more. It should also be capable to run two different seperate instances, so I can have two seperate wikis. I have no experience in either Ruby on rails, or PHP/mySQL, so I'm also looking for the easiest solution to maintain (Although I'm absolutely not afraid of reading up on stuff - I just prefer not to have to learn a new language or two, just for a wiki, if possible).

    If you want to run wikis for a couple users the Lion wiki server is easy to use and you can establish several wiki pages.  We've been using Wikis on our home Mac Mini Server for a couple years and hvae several wikis to assign different permissions - one the kids can write, one the kids are just read-only...  They've been quite helpful.  And maintaining them if carefree - I've had NO problems.  And if by maintaining you meant publishing content, that's fine too (although not completely flexible).
    Having upgraded from 10.6 to 10.7 this fall, I will say that I preferred the 10.6 Snow Leopard Wiki over the new implementation, for example it offered several templates for customizing the Wiki look, editing CSS.., but those are gone now. Oh well, progress???
    Regarding manuals for Lion Server I've only seen the online manauls.  Snow Leopard Server had a much more comprehensive set of manuals so you may learn more about the wiki reading them than anything available for Lion (of course Lion and SL have many differences  http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/WikiServerAdmin_v10.6.pdf
    If you haven't run Mac Server before, there will probably be some learning curve pain involved, but we find it useful to run as a File Server (files, music, photos, videos), Time Machine Backup Server, WIki Server Mail Server, Mobile Home Accounts, and we'll even log directly into the server and use it as a desktop (but there are some tricks for using an account both locally and over the network).  If you have some of these broader needs consider implementing Mac Server.  If you just ned the wiki, implementing another wiki product may offer

  • Wiki Server 3: What is API URL for AtomPub/MetaWeblog?

    Previously (OS X Server 10.6), AtomPub/MetaWeblog editors could connect to Wiki Server using the API access point http://example.com/RPC2 (Command Line, Ecto/Marsedit)
    Now (OS X Server 10.7), attempts to hit /RPC2 are resulting in a 404 response. I've so far been unable to track down where the API access point has moved to, and didn't have any luck flailing around at other likely candidates (thanks, ecto list of common XML-RPC endpoints!)

  • Certificate request not working with web server v2 template on windows 2012 R2

    I have tried to generate a certificate request on my domain joined Windows 2012 R2. I have tried both online and offline requests. I am using the web server v2 template.
    Both Method fails with error message that the cryptographic algorithm is unknown. I am using these settings apart from the template:
    This is the error Message in online request:
    The error Message in the offline request is somewhat similar.
    An event error is also appearing in the application log:
    The CSPs from the template:
    I am wondering if a cryptographic service provider or several of them are missing? They are installed With Windows update are they not? The strange thing is that this supposedly have worked before with another user. Could it be that I do not have the
    correct permissions to request a certificate with this template, or has something happened with the server? 

    Hey dag 
    Thanks for posting ,
    If You try duplicate the web template for using it in version 4 - can You see any difference? 
    Also check the link below for certificate templates versions:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13303.windows-server-2012-certificate-template-versions-and-options.aspx#Version_4_Certificate_Templates
    In previous operating system versions the configuration of CSPs and KSPs were on different tabs in the certificate properties. For version 2 certificate templates, CSPs were configured on the Request Handling tab. For version 3 certificate templates,
    KSPs were configured on the Cryptography tab. Starting in Windows Server 2012, the configuration of the providers is consolidated on the Cryptography tab. To learn more about the cryptographic provider options present in previous operating systems
    Notice later.
    I'd be glad to answer any question

  • Switching themes with customized templates

    Most typical Apex applications start with a quick prototype containing most of the required functionality, get required approvals, and continue building it up.
    During all of this, the concept of "themes" is mentioned and demonstrated as a reassurance that the "look and feel" of the application can be very easily switched at any point. In other words, let's worry about designing the content and behaviour, the presentation can be easily switched.
    All this sounds very good on paper and is do-able as long as one uses the out-of-the-box Apex themes/templates. But, in my experience, any non-trivial application has lots of customized templates. That brings me to my question.
    As soon as you start to customize templates, modify them, create new ones, etc, you start to get "committed" to that specific theme. In other words, if I have a theme with 10 customized templates, 5 slightly modified ones, etc, and I switch to another theme from the Apex repository, I get all the out-of-the-box templates for that theme. I have to painstakingly re-do all my customizations for the corresponding templates in the new theme.
    And Apex does nothing to help me with this task. There is no "diff" utility between themes, no compares, no merges, nothing. I have to eye-ball the old template, copy the HTML snippets from the Builder into Notepad, pull up my new template and manually copy, paste, modify snippets into the new template. Very error-prone.
    How have people handled this sort of thing? Are there any best-practices, any procedures that people follow to make switching between themes painless?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Second post down.
    http://wiki.shellprompt.net/bin/view/Apex/ThemeTips
    I build out themes all the time that are about 70/30 standard templates to custom templates and following that procedure makes the switches fairly easy.

  • How to Duplicate a Page in Wiki Server 3

    I have just set up a Mac Mini Lion Server to use as a staff information portal / intranet. I would like to use the wiki to keep our standard procedures up to date and all in one place.

All the procedures will follow the same format, so the ability to create a page from a template or duplicate an existing page would be a super timesaver.

    Hello Jagadish,
    thanks for your support.
    I went with Visual Admin tool to node SID - Server - Services - SLD Data Supplier.
    I saw some information - how can I check here?
    Afterwards I went to node SID - Server - Services - JCo RFC Provider and saw informations about client, user password. How can I check these informations? I stopped the SAPSLDAPI_SID RFC listener and started again. This worked without problems.
    I closed visual administrator and tried to login again via http://hostname:50000/sld. After cklick on button "Administration" there is no reaction - I get a blank site with no information on it.
    When I start configuration again through SOLMAN_ADMIN system hangs now in step 107 " SLD Server Configuration".

  • VMware to Hyper-V template conversion issue for Windows Server 2008 template

    Hello,
    I am attempting to convert a Windows server 2k8 template from VMware to Hyper-V. The hosts are Cisco UCS B200 M3 blades running Win2k12 and ESX 5.5 respectively. The template boots successfully in VMware and runs through its post install process without
    any issues. When I convert the template to Hyper-V the guest will display the windows splash screen and then I get the error "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computers hardware”. I attempted to force the OOBE process
    by running msoobe.exe from the CLI but got the same error on restart.
    The particularly strange thing is that if I boot the syspreped guest in VMware, interrupt the post install process, shutdown the guest, then convert to Hyper-V the guest will boot successfully in Hyper-V. At this point I uninstall the VMware tools, install
    the windows virtual guest services, and re-sysprep the guest. Sadly the result is the same, on boot I get "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computers hardware”. I found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2466753/en-us but
    it references Win2k8R2 specifically. Does anyone have any ideas on how this issue could be manifesting itself 
    in Win2k8? 
    As an aside I was able to successfully convert a Win2k8R2 template successfully using the same process, any input on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
    Regards,
    Toll_Hou5e 

    Hi Toll_Hou5e,
    As far as I know there don’t have the KB or article mention we can convert the VMware template image to VHD, you can use the MVMC for the virtual machine convert.
    I don’t familiar with VMware template but base on my experience, the VMware View Connection template can execute the Windows template image sysprep program, VMware may configured
    some system option, you can ask your software vendor for the further help.
