JoomlaCode documentation

Post by spauldingsmails » Sun Jul 01, 2007 2:30 pm

Hi

I am trying to use the wiki in my JoomlaCode project but am having a few problems escaping certain characters the wiki has taken a liking to. However, the joomlacode forge seems to be light on documentation, unlike the old forge which had excellent context aware help.

The gforge site has been of little help and seems to suffer from the same problem.

Is there any user documentation for joomlacode and, if so, where can it be found.

Any help much appreciated.

There is a document with joomlacode usage instructions here:

Thanks for the feedback.

My main problem is trying to apply certain text rules to the wiki. Would I be correct in assuming JoomlaCode is using the gforge phpwiki plugin?

According to the look i would think that it uses phpwiki, but this must be confirmed by a joomlacode administrator.

If so, there is a former documentation that could be useful:

- PhpWiki - Php Wiki Documentation
- PhpWiki - Text Formatting Rules

And a list of character entities: HTML Character Entities

Great, thanks for the links.

I've noticed that many projects aren't using their wikis and am wondering if I should just move my documentation to a downloadable manual instead.
