Creating Content

Registered users of the ICEcore Community can create new entries in the ICEcore Wiki.  Users who are visiting the ICEcore Community can browse the wiki articles but are disallowed from creating new entries or editing existing ones.  To create a new Wiki entry select the New: Wiki entry option at the top of the Wiki home page.  This will bring up a new web browser window that contains the TinyMCE html editor.  Users can title their entry at the top of the page and then add the necessary content for that entry in the Description section.  Selecting "OK" at the bottom of the page will save the content into the Support Wiki.

ICEcore uses a simple bracketing notation to link Wiki articles together.  Once inside the TinyMCE editor you can reference another wiki entry by adding two brackets on each side of the wiki entry's title (ie. [[ An Example Entry Title ]] ).  The brackets will indicate to the ICEcore system that the contents inside the brackets should be replaced with an ICEcore link to a particular entry.   If the wiki article contained within the brackets does not exist ICEcore will ask you if you would like to create it when it is selected.  This makes it very easy to pre-populate an outline and have users add content later.

Another way to add Wiki articles in ICEcore is to start with the Index page of the section you want to contribute content to.  Insert an unique Wiki Entry Title surrounded by the bracket notation and save the Index.  A link will appear for the entry you just created.  By selecting the new link ICEcore will ask if you would like to create a new Wiki article.  Simple as that and the Index has already been updated!

Creating a new entry certainly has its benefits, but adding the entry to the ICEcore Wiki Index pages will allow users to find it more quickly.  To reference a Wiki Entry from another location inside of ICEcore follow the procedure below to Edit Content.

Editing Content

Registered users of ICEcore can edit wiki entries in the ICEcore Community.  To edit an entry users should select the "Modify" option at the top on the entry.  This will open a browser that contains the tinyMCE html editor with the entry pre-populated inside it.  Make the changes that are appropriate for your edit and select the "OK" button at the bottom of the page.

Markup Syntax

Page links look like this:  [ [ Some page title ] ]

This would create a normalized link to:  some_page_title

Moving outside the folder gets tricky:   [ [ <workspacePath>Some page title ] ]

where workspacePath looks like:

• a|b|c - relative path down from where you are
• ..|b - path to siblings (also a relative path)
• |a|b|c - path from the top of the Aspen tree

There are 3 ways to reference attached files:

• {{image: abc.jpg}} -- inline image, no link
• {{thumb: abc.jpg}} -- inline thumbnail of abc.jpg and link to abc.jpg
• {{file: abc.doc}} -- link to abc.doc

Anchor tags will be processed looking for the following schemes:

• wiki:Some Page Title   -- same syntax as [ [ above ] ]
• wimage:abc.jpg -- same as {{image: }}
• wthumb:abc.jpg -- same as {{thumb: }}
• wfile:abc.doc -- same as {{file: }}
