WordPress Wiki Plugin – Buddypress and Themes

  • After setting up Mediawiki, bridged the logins and was this close to paying someone to port my wp theme to mediawiki, i decided to play around with the Wiki-Lite plugin for abit, concidering paying for the premium version but thought i’d post afew suggestions…

        Intergration with Buddypress if its activated – just small things like linking the users name to their profile on the history page and including their edits on their activity stream as “Name edited the wiki page *PageName*.
        Themeing – currently it seems to default to use the theme defined in page.php and their doesn’t seem to be a way to change it (why not make it check if theirs a wiki-page.php file in the themes before switching to page.php?) and the ability to further design it such as moving the links to the header, or the sidebar.

    Other than templates (like infoboxes and stub messages) which i believe may be possible with afew shortcodes and wikisyntax (which is included in the premium version according to the sales page) thoes are really the only two remaining features i need to launch my site.

    after playing with it more, i have two more suggestions…

        Categories – why cant i categorise wiki articles? It’s not even possible through the backend edit screen. Add the ability to use and create categories and allow users to use and create categories through the frontend screen.
        When someone goes to a non-available page such as /wiki/nothings-here instead of showing a 404 screen, show a link to create that page. currently it seems pages need to be created on the backend first to be editable…

    hopefully thats it.

    Honestly? with abit of time and energy this plugin could really be up their with names like BBpress and Buddypress when mentioning plugins that transform WordPress.
