Wiki

Pat,
you can install nwiki indeed. Actually, one of the nwiki read me for a moodle version "believe it was for moodle 1.6" required that user deletes the ewiki and then install nwiki.

How to go install nwiki? Pretty simple: copy from the extracted folder each folder into its corresponding folder in moodle directory: mod in moodle/mod, blocks into moodle/blocks, course into moodle/course and lang into the moodle/lang.

If you are using moodle 1.7, you will then have to click on notifications for the tables ... to be created.

Hope this helps.

Hi Pat,
just consider this facts:
- there are two distributions of nwiki
* one for moodle 1.6 that we consider stable and will not change much in the future
* one for moodle 1.7 (released on xmas eve ) that will be updated on a weekly basis. The modifications will affect security issues, code stability, and migration issues that will appear. This version has little testing on 1.7 (meaning that only 3 or for people have reported issues or bugs in the forum, though I'm counting 87 downloads since this release came, I hope that this is good news )
All serious issues with nwiki should appear ( if so ) in the installation/migration process. We are working very hard on it, specially on the backup/restore engine that needs to cover tons of migration scenarios.
When installed nwiki is pretty stable and easy to use. We are working on a on line documentation wiki, hoping that one day it may come to moodle.org. All of you are welcome to participate.
