bLADE Wiki

[M-K]

What about this ability?

For example -- I have wiki_organizer and wiki_website and I need 2 "wikistyle.css" files when I use menu "Locate Your Wiki > Custom..."

I agree with M-K that it would be great if each wiki could have its own stylesheet.
I would suggest that when bLADE opens the wiki, if it finds a "wikistyle.css" in the wiki folder it uses that, otherwise it defaults to the "wikistyle.css" in the "\windows" folder.

I was surprised when bLADE wiki didn't function like this.
Another benefit of having the css in the wiki content directory is that specific

I guess this could be an option:

[ ] use CSS file in wiki directory, if it exists ?

I am certainly going to be trying multiple wikis ... will be interesting to see how it goes

InterWiki links would be of benefit for sure.

I am looking at using wiki structure as the backbone to all my life's information.

In that context: business, personal, family, financial information doesn't go all that well together.

ie. I'd probably want my family to access/contribute to the family stuff, but not to my business stuff.

I want my employees to add to the business but I dont want them to access my personal,financial or family stuff.

As you can see, I have my eye on considering using my Wiki for more than one user and more than one purpose, on more than one computer!

I don't know if bLADE wiki will ever head in this direction, nor do I expect it to. My wants are great !

My plan thus far is to have my employees have access to just the business wiki and not know the "path" to the other wikis.

And I can access "other" wikis, because I know where to look

Of course that will be hard as the wiki location will be easily seen in the "Locate your wiki" menu.

I guess I'll have to have separate bLADEwikis.

Stick to 1 bW for business, and the other for personal.

Just thinking out loud here, thanks for listening

FYI, did you know that the capital letters in bLADE are an anagram for DALE ! You heard it here first

I know wikidpad.
Above all else, I need a lightweight business (multi-PC, multi-user) wiki. wikidpad is very much a personal wiki. Yes so is bLADE. But bLADE allows you to display images, and i do like some of the formatting functions.

With wikidpad I kept getting messages like .... is already in use by a different instance of Wikidpad. Connect anyway (dangerous!) ?

I probably didn't give wikidpad a full workup. I know my intended uses for bLADE aren't the target audience thus far but I still really like it

It's a bit lame you can't display images in wikidpad.

I am using bLADE as a portable application, so in my case I was referring to {USB drive letter}:\wmwiki\windows\wikistyle.css.

The point being that wherever the application or default "wikistyle.css" resides, it is overridden by one in the folder of the wiki being opened.
