The world "bible" is used in many senses, like "The bible of something" — meaning: the full book covering some topic. In can be even "The bible of stealing".

It's not our problem that you have special feeling to one of the generic words. Also note, that there is good and bad Karma in religion.

And please have more distance. No one but you criticized the chosen word from its beginning on Wikidot. And it's been months!

Say some site in another culture will name a picture with user's foto - Jesus. Or stop list of rule violators - Bible. Then you will see that the original meaning distorted and diluted. We have different notions in different cultures globally - no need to chose one which some heard of but never grasped a meaning but would like to use the combination of sounds. Given the wiki is global - you actually act not very wise. It ofcourse up to you - but I regret on your choice.

The term "karma" has widespread use in online forums and discussion sites. One typical definition from http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=11829:

Karma is a built-in function within the Wilders Security Forums that allows a person to award and be awarded points for good forum postings.

You can search on Google: "definition karma forum".

So while you are welcome to your definition of the word, we will happily stick with ours.

Thanks,
Wikidot

They are used with success on different forums. The terms are familiar to most Internet users. Why should we name it differently?

Karma now - is an action which violate someone free will. Very soon the definition will be - the word, thought or action motivated else but by the Love.You see the difference. BR Victor

WHen you substitute a meaning into your new meaning - can cause some distortion. Indeed karma is a negative subject - means it could be negative or null. Same time you use some notions as guru and avatar. It is like to call an item - Apostol or Pope or Bible. As far as your karma rises you better be anything then guru. These words became international notions describing very important issues. So look deeper into the notions you use. If someone will start to absorb a notion not from its origin but from web lingua - this will cause a mess in their vacabulary when they will face the real meanings. If you experience shortage in terms - feel free to ask my help. It will be a pleasure for me. We actually do not want someone to think that God is a button, karma is a measure of activity rising with the extent of activity, and Bible is a say contact information, dont we? Best regards Victor

I would also like to see generalization of page variables as are available in templates on non-template pages. Things like page title, author, create and modify dates, number of comments tied to the page, etc.

Anyways, a big second on the named content as it also removes the positional constraints on the page source.

E.g., http://paxrivertri.wikidot.com/smithfield-sprint

I'd like the "Series" field to be optional — some races don't have it. So I wish there was a way that the template could leave out "Series:" if the content placeholder for it is empty.

Also, and this is just an idea out of my head, so I don't know if it is worthwhile, but maybe it would be neat if content fields could be named, i.e,
==== Series ====
instead of just being numbered in order.

I ran my blog feed through the wc3 Feed Validation Service and came up with several errors.

See the Errors without having to copy/paste my feed.

I'm still a ways off from getting indexed anyway, but I thought I'd bring this up.

Also, Technorati likes to be pinged before it indexes. Some places are set up to auto-ping it. Details here. I don't know a lot about this, so I'm not really sure if that might be related to the pingback item on your checklist or not.

Thanks again for pursuing blogging.

Same for trackbacks when they happen.

Thanks for doing this, I love the idea of a wikidot blogging platform.

Michal, shouldn't %%summary%% behave roughly like [[module Pages … preview="true"]] does?

%%summary%% displays so much more (formatted) text that it's very difficult to see when the summary for one page ends, and the next page starts — for an example see http://sandbox.wikidot.com/listpages-summary

It uses the following code to display page summaries. If I'm correct, there's even a Listpages bug, as you can see that the first page listed there doesn't even have a %%linked_title%%.

Note: As sandbox.wikidot.com changes every day, the bug may not be visible at the time you view the above link: the bug is with pages containing e. g. the string “%%summary%%” in their page title. For these pages ListPages doesn't generate a correct linked title; ListPages interprets a “%%summary%%” in a page title, instead of using it as-is.

 [[module ListPages]] %%linked_title%% %%summary%% [[/module]]

So this would mean we need timed tagging (i.e. "set this tag on this page at date/time X").

There is a separate issue of not allowing people to see blog posts that have not yet been published.

  1. It is hard to see the karma bars that are yellow and red. I'd suggest making them all green.
  2. The black/grey strip is distracting and looks un-pretty. I'd suggest making the green bars darker, on a transparent background.
  3. When you hover over the icon the large view does not say anything about the karma, it should.

Great stuff, it's going to be useful IMO especially when we can start to filter comments by karma.

  • ListPages -> Select
  • category, categories -> from
  • tags -> where
  • prependLine -> header
  • appendLine -> footer

Giving something like this:

 [[module Select from="blog,news" where="public" header="||~ Page||~ Date||"]] || %%linked_title%% || %%date%% || [[/module]]

In some cases this means finding better names.
