Start New Article

Although there our several ways to start a new article, probably the easiest way is to look at the URL. You will see something to the effect of http://www.enhancementresearch.com/wiki/...... Erase everything after the ".../wiki/" and type the name of your page, replacing spaces with underscores(_), and removing other non-letter or number characters. For example for a page that you want titled John Johnson's Jelqing Chart, you should have http://www.enhancementresearch.com/wiki/John_Johnsons_Jelqing_Chart. You should get a page that says "There is currently no text in this page..." Click on "edit this page" and start typing. If you did not get the above, then you are visiting an already existing page and you can either change the URL of your page or edit this one to include your content, although for a jelqing chart it is probably best to start a new page. Be sure to click on "Save Page" at the bottom when you are done. Be sure to add [[Category:Best suited category]] at the bottom of your page, so your page doesn't get "lost" in the wiki. Now any time you need to make a change, just click on "Edit".

Of course you will need to Register / Login first.

Uploading Files

File Size Limit: 10MB

Acceptable File Formats: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, doc, xls, mpp, ppt, docx, xlsx, pptx, pdf, flv, mp3,ogg

To upload a file, Log In, and upload the file using the upload link Special:Upload. Also, in the menu on the left under "toolbox" you will have a link named "Upload file".

Before uploading please ensure that you have rights to upload and redistribute the file(s) in question. Please note that as with wiki pages, others may edit or delete your uploads if they think it serves the project, and you may be blocked from uploading if you abuse the system.

Once you got to the upload page, on most browsers, you will see a "Browse..." button, which will bring up your operating system's standard file open dialog. Choosing a file will fill the name of that file into the text field next to the button. Upload the file under a suitable name, because renaming the file after uploading is not possible. The file name doesn't need to be the same as the file name stored on your computer. Please name your files descriptively to avoid confusion and make sure that the file name has the proper extension (again only the above mentioned formats are acceptable). The file names are case-sensitive (this applies even for the file name extension) except for the first character. You must also check the box affirming that you are not violating any copyrights by uploading the file. Press the "Upload file" button to finish the upload. This may take some time if you have a slow internet connection.

When choosing a name for a file do not use a name that is already in use on any page in the wiki. Overwriting is disabled. i.e. a new image under the name of the existing image can only be uploaded by an administrator.

How to embed images

To embed an uploaded image file in a text, you just have to specify its file name with the internal link syntax ([[ ]]), like this: [[Image:Wiki.png]], remember to capitalize the first letter of Image. You may also use [[Image:Wiki.png|right]] or [[Image:Wiki.png|left]] to position your image on the left or the right.

Additionally, and usually preferably, you may use [[Image:Wiki.png|thumb]] to create show a thumbnail of your image. And yes you may combine these as needed: [[Image:Wiki.png|thumb|right]]

The basic version, [[Image:Wiki.png]], will look like this: Image:Wiki.png

How to embed audio(mp3) files into your page:

I must apologize. This has been a frustrating experience. There are several different makers of a wiki product. We chose MediaWiki for the purpose of being able to easily add media. (It is also the one used by the biggest names including Wikipedia.) However we discovered that extensions for playing mp3 files are...not the most supported. We used to use one called Flashmp3 which was a perfect MP3 embedding tool.(It was tiny and had many options.) Well one day it just stopped working...perhaps due to an Flash (Adobe) update...but the author hasn't responded with an update yet. So we are stuck with 2 options.

1. Embed with an ugly, big tool called MediaPlayer (which is actually excellent for video)

  • Using this format:
<mediaplayer>File:Ocean.mp3</mediaplayer>
  • Or you can link to the file and have it play in its own screen using:
[[Media:Ocean.mp3]]

At least for now...those are our only two options.


The first example will have this effect:
The player will show in this paragraph

The second looks like this:
Media:Ocean.mp3

How to embed already online video into your page

Youtube

Original url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrwR256dH_o

Wiki code:

<videoflash>UrwR256dH_o</videoflash>

or (with width and height):

<videoflash>UrwR256dH_o|400|300</videoflash>

Which looks like this (with the width and height):

Vimeo

Original url: http://vimeo.com/5089062

Wiki code:

<videoflash type="vimeo">5089062</videoflash>

or (with width and height):

<videoflash type="vimeo">5089062|400|300</videoflash>

And looks like:

Blip

Currently blip uses urls like: http://blip.tv/file/1859589/

You cannot use the above ID with the code
http://blip.tv/play/$someID
which is used in this VideoFlash extension.

To get the correct ID to use click on 'embed' in Blip and extract the id used in the flash embed code

<embed src="http://blip.tv/play/gvJk8osqAg" ... ></embed>

Wiki code:

<videoflash type="blip">gvJk8osqAg</videoflash>

or (with width and height):

<videoflash type="blip">gvJk8osqAg|400|300</videoflash>

This will look like:
