Dokuwiki

Dokuwiki is the wiki engine I am using. It seemed the nicer, more complete and easier to use to me.

There was some problems to have it working on my host Free.

Someone created a patch to solve all the problems: http://forum.dokuwiki.org/thread/518.

One bottleneck of Dokuwiki in the standard version is navigation.

There is a template Sidebar which replaces the default template, which adds this sidebar with the index you can see at your left : http://wiki.jalakai.co.uk/dokuwiki/doku.php/start.

You just have to copy the content of the archive in Dokuwiki/lib/tpl, and either use the admin page to modify the template, or change in local.php :

$conf['template'] = 'sidebar-rc2006-09-28'; // the name of your template folder

You can change some options in sidebar/conf/tplfn_sidebar.php.

In particular if you use to write C/C++ code, you can find annoying that Dokuwiki replaced << and >> by « and ».

You can do that by commenting out the lines in conf/entities.conf.
