Anyone using this wiki engine has likely noticed that it does not play nicely with FireFox?. Specifically, I am referring to the bulleted lists and Tables of Contents.

To fix this, simply do one of two things:
  1. Edit the owconfig_default.asp file and change cNumTOC = 1 . This will cause it to use ordered lists instead of unordered lists and the code it generates will be correct.
  2. Fix the error in the code in the owtoc.asp file. Where you see GetTOCElement = "dl" , change it to GetTOCElement = "ul" . The dl tag is used with dt and dd, not li tags, which is why it doesn't work in FF.

This drove me nuts for some time until I finally broke down and debugged it.

If this is in the wrong place, someone please move it.

Thanks,

Alex

Alex:Thank you! This too drove me nuts; I originally tried to fix this somewhat by adding some CSS styles such as dl li {margin-left:40px;} , but it is of course much nicer to have just fixed OpenWiki to return proper uls rather than those pesky dls. I just wanted to add that you will want to be sure to make this fix in two places: in the function GetTOCElement (returns opening tag) as well as GetTOCEndElement (returns closing tag). --Michael 07/29/07

Alex:Thank you! Be sure to also edit GetTOCEndElement = "dl" , and change it to GetTOCEndElement = "ul"

This is probably a configuration error on my part.

I have created a menu include file that looks beautiful on all my pages, except for the Front Page. There is gets rendered as courier font, rather than the default arial.

It renders looks like this on all pages, except the Front Page, where it shows up in Courier:

Home | Meetings | Documentation | Contact | Links | Help

Here's the code I'm using on all pages:

<Include(MainMenu?)>

This error is caused by IIS running under user permissions and not having privileges to the database. See the bugs on the installation page: http://openwiki.com/ow.asp?OpenWikiInstallationProblems

25 Jan 2006 My personal wiki was running for more than two years now without any error or data loss (and the .mdb file is now more than 6 MB of text data!) Since yesterday it is impossible to save any changes made to a page.

Who can help me?
I had the same problem. The issue here is the cleanup of old revisions attempts to delete older versions of the page with attachments. Here is a fix for owdb.asp: 
        ' delete old revisions

                vQuery = "SELECT wrv_revision FROM openwiki_revisions WHERE wrv_name = '" & Replace(gPage, "'", "''") & "' AND wrv_timestamp < (SELECT MAX(wrv_timestamp) FROM openwiki_revisions WHERE wrv_name = '" & Replace(gPage, "'", "''") & "' AND wrv_current = 0) AND wrv_timestamp < DateAdd( day, (-1 * " & OPENWIKI_DAYSTOKEEP & "), GetDate()) AND wrv_revision NOT IN (SELECT MAX(att_wrv_revision) FROM openwiki_attachments WHERE att_wrv_name = '" & Replace(gPage, "'", "''") & "' GROUP BY att_name)"

        vRS.Open vQuery, conn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText
        If Not vRS.EOF Then
                        Do While Not vRS.EOF
                                vQuery = "DELETE FROM openwiki_attachments_log WHERE ath_wrv_name = '" & Replace(gPage, "'", "''") & "' AND ath_wrv_revision = " & CInt(vRS("wrv_revision"))
                                conn.execute(vQuery)
                                vQuery = "DELETE FROM openwiki_attachments WHERE att_wrv_name = '" & Replace(gPage, "'", "''") & "' AND att_wrv_revision = " & CInt(vRS("wrv_revision"))
                                conn.execute(vQuery)
                                vQuery = "DELETE FROM openwiki_revisions WHERE wrv_name = '" & Replace(gPage, "'", "''") & "' AND wrv_revision = " & CInt(vRS("wrv_revision"))
                                conn.execute(vQuery)
                                vRS.MoveNext

                        conn.execute(vQuery)
        End If

I tried to edit and save changes to my personal page and I received the following error message:

lists over 10 don't work...

eg.

How to install IIS and run ASP on Windows Server 2003 (Windows .NET Server)

  1. When you start the Windows Server 2003, you should see the Manage Your Server wizard
  2. If the wizard is not displayed, go to Administrative Tools, and select Manage Your Server
  3. In the wizard, click Add or Remove a Role, click Next
  4. Select Custom Configuration, click Next
  5. Select Application Server role, click Next
  6. Select Enable ASP.NET, click Next
  7. Now, the wizard may ask for the Server 2003 CD. Insert the CD and let it run until it is finished, then click the Finish button
  8. The wizard should now show the Application Server role installed
  9. Click on Manage This Application Server to bring up the Application Server Management Console (MMC)

    10. 10. Expand the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, then expand your server, and then the Web Sites folder
    11. You should see the Default Web Site, and it should not say (Stopped)
    12. IIS is running!
    13. In the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager click on the Web Service Extensions folder
    14. Here you will see that Active Server Pages are Prohibited (this is the default configuration of IIS 6)
    15. Highlight Active Server Pages and click the Allow button
    16. ASP is now active!

They do Kind of work, but you dont get to type the actual numbers... they need to be single digits, the numbering is not using what you typed anyway, so thay can all be 1's or any other single digit. e.g.:

I am unable to use <anchor> from a parent page to a child page.

Steps to reproduce-

1) Create 2 pages, 1 parent page and a child page. 
   ParentPage
   ParentPage./ChildPage
2) On ParentPage./ChildPage create an anchor then Save.
3) On ParentPage create a anchor link [ParentPage./ChildPage#MyAnchor My Anchor] then Save.
4) On the parent page select the link if it actually renders. This doesn't work.

Interesting bug, or am I missing something?

-EricBerntson?

June 1, 2005

Possible bug:

I have a number of bullets, sub-bullets, and sub-sub bullets. When I add a code snippet surrounded by curly braces (i.e. {{{ code snippet }}} ) my bullet syle gets messed up.

Example demonstrating "bug" - Bullet 3 has wrong bullet style

List of items
      insert code snippet here

Exact same example with code snippet removed - no "bug" - Bullet 3 has correct bullet style

List of items

If you delete the line break and back up the curly braces right next to Sub-sub bullet 1, it will work

Anyone have any feeback??

Why I can't open Help on Formatting on my local wiki

things wrong in /OpenWiki?/ow/owregexp.asp line 137

This project is essentially closed although you can use the code. Head over to the next generation wiki (can't remember the name but it's on the front page) and the community over there has also whithered away but there may be someone who could help. Many of the bugs with OW are also in OWNG so you can talk to them about it there.
