Possible N-PVR Wiki

[McBainUK]

Unfortunately I'm having some permission error which I havnt worked out the cause of yet.

You may just need to give write access to the wiki.d folder (ie "chmod 777 wiki.d").

Or it might require a bit more:

This seems like a dumb question but how would I go about posting my skin (NextBlue) on the npvr Wiki?

Thanks.

This is not a dumb question at all. In fact a very poignant one. Hold off attempting this for a few hours, days at most hopefully, and it will be worked out :-)

Thanks. I've uploaded it to http://www.gbpvr.com/nwiki. Unfortunately I'm having some permission error which I havnt worked out the cause of yet.

Just for the record, I do not agree with instigating this new wiki as 'live' quite yet.

I am convinced it is the the way to go and should be implemented soon, but with a few more tweaks. The 'hack' that I set up with the existing wiki is a perfectly manageable solution for the next few weeks as a depository for skins and plugins and a few pages of initial documentation, that can all be moved to a new wiki home when needed.

I suspect that even as I write this my voice may not be heard, but I will sleep better having had my say :-)

very best

I'm fine with whatever you guys prefer. I'm not going to change any of the existing page links to it at this stage.

I still havnt got to the bottom of this permissions error yet, but I have been trying.

Steeb, Hariy and myself have been working this the last few weeks.

Here it is packaged up as a zip file ready to be uploaded to the main server. Rename the pmwiki folder to npvrwiki (or whatever), as you already have http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/. It has account control turned on with steeb and Hairy as editors and myself as admin. It's easy to add anyone to either group on request.

I think I got past the permission problem. Give http://www.gbpvr.com/nwiki a go.

Yup you did!

was it just a chmod?

My comment from before still stands, I would prefer a little more work was put into this before making it official, let's see how McBain feels about my previous comment? Otherwise if I am over-ruled, that is the new wiki!?

very best

I'm not sure, it didnt help when I tried fixing it. I had to end up deleting the directory, and uploading it again, and it went much smoother the second time. I'm not sure what went wrong the first time.

As I said, I wont change the web site links to point to the new wiki at this stage (or the npvr section of the old wiki). ie, You let me know what you want something changed, and I wont dont anything right now.
