Setting up new site, when reading the documentation I see “Content on both the public wiki and private wikis can be tagged, categorized, and organized in parent/child hierarchies.” When viewing the Cuny site http://commons.gc.cuny.edu/wiki/index.php/The_Commons_Wiki_and_its_Uses I see the section at the top with the categories and if I click on those I see an additional Category: Wikis and an alphabetized listing underneath.

 

However when we add content under wiki pages, we are not seeing the categories with parent/child hierarchies. I’ve searched for several days now, but can’t find a solution or how to do this. Example of what we have so far. http://cbox-dev.its.txstate.edu/wiki/

Thanks for your advice.

Hi Laura –

CUNY Academic Commons was around for a number of years before CBOX was developed.  It integrated MediaWiki and WordPress together, and still uses this combination to provide access to a site-wide wiki.

When CBOX was developed, a simpler to approach to wikis was implemented, using BuddyPress Docs Wiki.  So the MediaWiki approach we use at the Commons doesn’t really relate to the wiki implemented on CBOX.

Hope this helps with understanding the difference.

Thank you Scott. Not the answer I was hoping for, but what I suspected. The categorization of the wiki at CUNY Academic Commons was actually one of the features we were looking for. But maybe it won’t be as big an issue as we think.
