Re: Plugin Idea: BP Group Pages – please give feedback and support

Im currently using the group wiki plug-in for an alternative use, though I do occasionally get errors with it as you have mentioned. Can’t donate much but would gladly beta test and give feedback.

so +1

Things I think that would be beneficial:

  • Exclude Page Creation from the group creation – It would normally be a lengthy process and Im sure most ppl wouldn’t be 100% sure what the ‘wiki pages’ are going to be about exactly when first creating a group, so only show the ‘enable group ‘wiki’ along with admin options.
  • Page Creation – when creating the group wiki pages, the ‘+’ sign ( adding pages ) is confusing at first. Maybe something more simplistic like the precess of creating a group ( steps one two three.. )
  • Preset Table Layouts – preset layouts would provide ease of creating a ‘wiki’ page, styled according to the ‘site context’. Would also bring a sense of uniform to the site, easing reading and usability. These Layouts could be defined by the site admin or just hacked in the plug-in for now, focusing on the core functionality

This is abit off topic but Iv’e found a great need for this. When customizing a plug-in, I would always loose trac of the changes I made and so on, so Iv’e started to keep a personal wiki of my changes using something like ‘WikiPad”. When the plug-ins are updated, I basically have to update it and make my changes acording to my wiki again. What would be nice would be a plug-in wiki shiper along with the plug-in, with whats been added and whats been reworked, so say if a plug-in had one line of code change ( updated ), now you could simply add that one line of code ( if you knew what had been added/changed ) rather than updating the plugin, having all your changes over written and then having to redo the work, over and over..
