Haiya Alex, leo ni friday....on a more positive and techie note its been a hell 17 hours learning something I've not done before. I've used a wiki or 2, but never setup one and I must say it is this one was different experience. There are many Wikis out there but seems the best one for public domains is MediaWiki due to its settings. There are over a 100 pages to go over just for the localsettings.php file. Interesting route, I think the other day PS Ndemo mentioned of a Kenyan Wiki, seems this thing is very possible ( not me, am tied down over the next 12 months ). BTW, I had to find the settings.php file ( easy for a lot of gururs ) to edit as the closest I've come to the nuts and bolts of sites is .asp on which I set a few databases using Ms Access some years ago.
So the experience was well worth it. So kama kuna mtu ako na shida with Wiki settings ( not db pls ) we are here to answer. :-))))
Thumbs up, Aki! It's time to task, not to talk. BTW. MediaWiki is so prone to being defaced by spammers. Please ensure you take all steps to lock it down, only authenticated users to post, and don't forget to backup frequently just in case. Unfortunately I don't have the details about locking it down. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
