Wiki Plugin for Main Blog where all BP users can contribute?
-
Hi Everyone,
I am new to WordPress and Buddypress and I’m currently looking at all possibilites for a future community website. So far I am really pleased with the available options and I’m able to implement all the functions I need thanks to the core components or plug-ins, except for a simple Wiki for all users. So I was thinking of ways to achieve this (I’m no programmer sadly) and thought up the following:
If I install a wiki plugin on my main WordPress MU blog and automatically asign all users in the community as “contributors” then I should be able to integrate a WIKI into my site ?
If I add a new menu link after Blogs called “Wiki” which points my user towards this Wiki page on my main blog it should work right? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance

that looks pretty awesome! Is mediawiki a standalone wiki or is it integrated with WordPress in some way? How hard is it to get the whole shabang running? thanks in advance
ps: Is there a default member Blog theme available that matches the default BP look?
Getting MediaWiki running together with WP/BP has two main parts: 1) sharing user login info and 2) theming them to look alike. http://dev.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2009/05/21/new-mediawiki-extension-wpmusinglesignon/ gives a method for (1). As for (2), you’re looking at lots of elbow grease
I think that’s a bit to much for my liking.. I’ll keep on looking for a good and simple solution, MediaWiki has to many options and makes things to complicated development and user wise
