Administering Wikis

Configure and administer Wikis by using the wsadmin client to run administrative commands or by editing the configuration file directly.

Use the wsadmin client to run administrative commands to perform tasks that manipulate Wikis content. Changes that you make by using the wsadmin client take effect immediately. Edit the configuration file directly to control how and when various Wikis operations take place. Before changes to the configuration file can take effect, you must synchronize the nodes and restart the application server.

  • Setting maximum sizes on media, pages, and attachments
    You can set maximum sizes for media, pages, and attachments in the wikis-config.xml properties file.
  • Setting maximum sizes on libraries
    Use WikisLibraryService commands to set maximum sizes on libraries by assigning them a policy. A library is the pages, attachments, and other data that make up a wiki. A policy sets a maximum size for a library.

    Use the WikisPolicyService commands to add, edit, count, and return information about policies. You apply policies to libraries to set a maximum size on those libraries. A library is a set of files that are owned by a person or community.

    By default, users can see all versions of a wiki page but you can disable versioning by editing the wikis-config.xml configuration file.

    Use the WikisLibraryService delete commands to delete wikis.

    Configure Wikis to display file attachments inline instead of as attachments. This is useful when you download and display active content, such as Adobe® Flash (.swf) files, in your own HTML pages. Enable inline display by changing a configuration property in the wikis-config.xml file. Then change the attachment URLs to use inline parameter.
