Hi, My name is Atilla Yadik. I am the Chief Software Engineer at Webhun.com. I would like to introduce to you one of the great web site "WetPaint.com". This site will help you start your own wiki. You don't even have to store the content or anything. Check the site out. You will like it. There is a video tutorial at www.webhun.com/projects.aspx. Watch it.
Or you can watch it at Youtube.com
Now, let see what files do you need.
After download, please reference my dll (Webhun.WetPaintControl.dll) to your Toolbox in the Visual Studio 2005/8, so that, you can drag & drop in the design page.
You need to sign up with WetPaint on their site WetPaint.com.
They will provide three things:
- DeveloperKey
- DeveloperSecret
- NameSpace
Once you have these, you need to put them in the "web.config" in the appSettings section.
Example:
|
<appSettings>
<add key="DeveloperKey" value="yourDeveloperKey"/>
<add key="DeveloperSecret" value="yourDeveloperSecret"/>
<add key="ns" value="yourNameSpace"/>
</appSettings>
|
This is pretty much it.
Then, you need to initialize the control to your users information.
What do you need to initialize the code to your User's information:
This needed to keep track and separate the content of each topic/subject.
- CellID. "This is the "Content ID (topic/subject)"
- UserID. "Your users id to identify and track"
- UserEmail "Same but needed. It is also good idea because, your users will have more exposure and return Url is you site"
- UserDisplayName "This is the Display Name where everyone will see"
- UserName "This is for the WetPaint to store"
- UserUrl "This is the url to go to the users reference website about the content or the list of contents"
- Admin "If the user you have authenticated is an Admin for the Content (CellID) and you want them to be able to see the history of the WiKi editing and change it and
modify it then, you set this Admin to true"
//updated
I have also have in the dll and as a property in the server control, WetPaint class and the WetPaintUser class.
WetPaint Class View
WetPaintUser Class View
You can initilazie these classes first and pass them to the WetPaintUserControl and give the CellID, than you are done.
Don't forget, loginurl is important if you didn't authenticate your users first and if they click the "Easy Edit" button to change or edit the new content of the wiki, they could be transfered to your login page.
Enjoy the control. It has more features than this but, that's for another time...
