    Hi,

    We would like to create our wiki navigation menu of our wiki in the form of a mind map. Has anyone tried something like that? We are looking for advice. And also let people ‘subscribe’ or be associated to wiki pages. Can this be done? So that people can contact each other?

    Thanks!

    I recall one putting links into various cells of an excel spreadsheet using an invisible font colour which was overlaid with a map of the world, so that clicking on different countries took you to other locations. You could do something similar with a table and a background.

    But presumably you want something more automated!

    I created a simple mind map with omnigraffle (Which can create layout automatic from a hierarchy of topics), added links to three of the objects and exported it as html.

    The html can be pasted into a page. The page then shows the mind map with href links. Looking at the html, one sees for example with three links:

    Although as yet I have only the imported image and have not got the links to work! But it’s a start.

    Picking up the urls/hrefs from the wiki is beyond me but if the mindmap changes slowly evan weekly/monthly manual link additions shouldn’t be too much effort.

    If you want a huge dynamic mind map you would need something more hierarchical like a concept/semantic net anyway.

    Hope this helps

    Sorry, I didn’t enclose the code in tags. Try again

    Oh! I clearly don’t understand the code tag

    Ah Giles, thanks! html tags on posts is indeed a difficult thing! Thanks for the Omnigraffle tip. I will have a thorough look if this can be generated via hierarchy of topics even manually. Of course we are looking at automatic generation… I was thinking of things such as http://popplet.com/ or thebrain….

    Best

CBOX has its roots in the CUNY Academic Commons, which in turn was made possible through funding from The City University of New York itself.
